This series adds adjust head support for virtio. The following is my
test setup. I use qemu + virtio as follows,
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-test0.img \
-m 4096 -enable-kvm -smp 2 -netdev tap,id=hn0,queues=4,vhost=on \
-device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,mq=on,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off,guest_ufo=off,vectors=9
In order to use XDP with virtio until LRO is supported TSO must be
turned off in the host. The important fields in the above command line
are the following,
guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off,guest_ufo=off
thank you for sharing the command line!
Pretty hard to figure this out.
Too bad you dropped the patch that allows dynamic switch off of LRO.
Long term I don't see why guest shouldn't be allowed to turn that knob.
Also note it is possible to conusme more queues than can be supported
because when XDP is enabled for retransmit XDP attempts to use a queue
per cpu. My standard queue count is 'queues=4'.
After loading the VM I run the relevant XDP test programs in,
./sammples/bpf
For this series I tested xdp1, xdp2, and xdp_tx_iptunnel. I usually test
with iperf (-d option to get bidirectional traffic), ping, and pktgen.
I also have a modified xdp1 that returns XDP_PASS on any packet to ensure
the normal traffic path to the stack continues to work with XDP loaded.
same here.
xdp testing requires two physical machines with specific nics,
so hard to automate.
At least the virtio+xdp gives us ability to test the programs
automatically. So virtio+xdp will get the most test coverage and
all hw nics will be using it as a yardstick. Very important to
make it easy to use.
For bpf and generic xdp bits:
