At acinclude, it's either define as 0 or 1

Hi.
Thanks for a new version.

Comments inline.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.

The patch adds support for using need_wakeup flag in AF_XDP rings.
A new option, use_need_wakeup, is added. When this option is used,
it means that OVS has to explicitly wake up the kernel RX, using poll()

the performance by avoiding unnecessary sendto syscalls for TX.
For RX, instead of kernel always busy-spinning on fille queue, OVS wakes
up the kernel RX processing when fill queue is replenished.

The need_wakeup feature is merged into Linux kernel 5.3.0-rc1 and OVS
enables it by default. Running the feature before this version causes
xsk bind fails, please use options:use_need_wakeup=false to disable it.
If users enable it but runs in an older version of libbpf, then the
need_wakeup feature has no effect, and a warning message is logged.

For virtual interface, it's better set use_need_wakeup=false, since
the virtual device's AF_XDP xmit is synchronous: the sendto syscall
enters kernel and process the TX packet on tx queue directly.

I tested on kernel 5.3.0-rc3 using its libbpf.  On Intel Xeon E5-2620
v3 2.4GHz system, performance of physical port to physical port improves
from 6.1Mpps to 7.3Mpps. Testing on 5.2.0-rc6 using libbpf from 5.3.0-rc3


Kernel versions here all messed up. See the comment below.


does not work due to libbpf API change. Users have to use the older
libbpf for older kernel.

[ovs-dev] [PATCHv4] netdev-afxdp: Add need_wakeup supprt.

2019-09-17 Thread William Tu
The patch adds support for using need_wakeup flag in AF_XDP rings.
A new option, use_need_wakeup, is added. When this option is used,
it means that OVS has to explicitly wake up the kernel RX, using poll()
syscall and wake up TX, using sendto() syscall. This feature improves
the performance by avoiding unnecessary sendto syscalls for TX.
For RX, instead of kernel always busy-spinning on fille queue, OVS wakes
up the kernel RX processing when fill queue is replenished.

The need_wakeup feature is merged into Linux kernel 5.3.0-rc1 and OVS
enables it by default. Running the feature before this version causes
xsk bind fails, please use options:use_need_wakeup=false to disable it.
If users enable it but runs in an older version of libbpf, then the
need_wakeup feature has no effect, and a warning message is logged.

For virtual interface, it's better set use_need_wakeup=false, since
the virtual device's AF_XDP xmit is synchronous: the sendto syscall
enters kernel and process the TX packet on tx queue directly.

I tested on kernel 5.3.0-rc3 using its libbpf.  On Intel Xeon E5-2620
v3 2.4GHz system, performance of physical port to physical port improves
from 6.1Mpps to 7.3Mpps. Testing on 5.2.0-rc6 using libbpf from 5.3.0-rc3
does not work due to libbpf API change. Users have to use the older
libbpf for older kernel.
