Many modern NICs support configurable receive buffer lengths, and zcrx and memory providers can use buffers larger than 4K/PAGE_SIZE on x86 to improve performance. When paired with hw-gro larger rx buffer sizes can drastically reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack and save a lot of processing time. It also allows to give to users larger contiguous chunks of data. The idea was first floated around by Saeed during netdev conf 2024 and was asked about by a few folks.
Single stream benchmarks showed up to ~30% CPU util improvement. E.g. comparison for 4K vs 32K buffers using a 200Gbit NIC:
packets=23987040 (MB=2745098), rps=199559 (MB/s=22837) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 1.53 0.00 27.78 2.72 1.31 66.45 0.22 packets=24078368 (MB=2755550), rps=200319 (MB/s=22924) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 0.69 0.00 8.26 31.65 1.83 57.00 0.57
This series adds net infrastructure for memory providers configuring the size and implements it for bnxt. It's an opt-in feature for drivers, they should advertise support for the parameter in the qops and must check if the hardware supports the given size. It's limited to memory providers as it drastically simplifies implementation. It doesn't affect the fast path zcrx uAPI, and the sizes is defined in zcrx terms, which allows it to be flexible and adjusted in the future, see Patch 8 for details.

You are awesome, thank you!
The free_ptr_ring label path initialises ->dma_mapped xarray but doesn't destroy it in case of an error. That's not a real problem since init itself doesn't do anything requiring destruction, but still match it with xa_destroy() to silence warnings.

We're going to give more control over rx buffer sizes to user space, and since we can't always rely on driver validation, let's sanitise it in page_pool_init() as well. Note that we only need to reject over MAX_PAGE_ORDER allocations for normal page pools, as current memory providers don't need to use the buddy allocator and must check the order on init.i

Instead of resetting memory provider parameters one by one in __net_mp_{open,close}_rxq, memzero the entire structure. It'll be used to extend the structure.

Allow memory providers to configure rx queues with a specific receive buffer length. Pass it in struct pp_memory_provider_params, which is copied into the queue, so it's preserved across queue restarts. It's an opt-in feature for drivers, which they can enable by setting NDO_QUEUE_RX_BUF_SIZE to their struct netdev_queue_mgmt_ops.

From: Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org
The driver tries to provision more agg buffers than header buffers since multiple agg segments can reuse the same header. The calculation / heuristic tries to provide enough pages for 65k of data for each header (or 4 frags per header if the result is too big). This calculation is currently global to the adapter. If we increase the buffer sizes 8x we don't want 8x the amount of memory sitting on the rings. Luckily we don't have to fill the rings completely, adjust the fill level dynamically in case particular queue has buffers larger than the global size.

Implement NDO_QUEUE_RX_BUF_SIZE and take the rx buf size from the memory providers.

Many modern NICs support configurable receive buffer lengths, and zcrx and memory providers can use buffers larger than 4K/PAGE_SIZE on x86 to improve performance. When paired with hw-gro larger rx buffer sizes can drastically reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack and save a lot of processing time. It also allows to give to users larger contiguous chunks of data. The idea was first floated around by Saeed during netdev conf 2024 and was asked about by a few folks.
Single stream benchmarks showed up to ~30% CPU util improvement. E.g. comparison for 4K vs 32K buffers using a 200Gbit NIC:

This series adds net infrastructure for memory providers configuring the size and implements it for bnxt. It's an opt-in feature for drivers, they should advertise support for the parameter in the qops and must check if the hardware supports the given size. It's limited to memory providers as it drastically simplifies implementation. It doesn't affect the fast path zcrx uAPI, and the sizes is defined in zcrx terms, which allows it to be flexible and adjusted in the future, see Patch 8 for details.

Differently from previous revisions, this is not a PR, just a plain patch series - that in turn may cause duplicate commits when applied on different trees.
Is the above intentional? why?

It was based on linus-rc* before and getting merged nice and clean, now there is a small conflict. In my view, it should either be a separate pull to Linus that depends on the net+io_uring trees if Jens would be willing to orchestrate that, or I'll just merge the leftover io_uring patch for-6.20. In either case, this set shouldn't get applied to any other tree directly.

If you have to respin -- let's drop the NDO from this define. To suggest something specific - QCFG_ is a better prefix? IDK why we ended up with ndo_ prefix on the queue ops..
Also RX_PAGE_SIZE is a better name for the fields? RX_BUF_SIZE is easy to confuse with RX_BUF_LEN which we are no longer trying to modify.

I'd like to retain my cfg objects in the queue API, if you don't mind. I guess we just need the way for drivers to fill in the defaults and then plumb them into the ops.
When drivers implement the logic to consolidate the configuration from different APIs into the effective one they inevitably diverge in their interpretations :/ We should keep it in the core from the start and present to the driver the final queue config.
