Magnus Karlsson says: ==================== This is a patch set of various performance improvements, fixes, and the introduction of more than one XDP program to the xsk selftests framework so we can test more things in the future such as upcoming multi-buffer and metadata support for AF_XDP. The new programs just reuse the framework that all the other eBPF selftests use. The new feature is used to implement one new test that does XDP_DROP on every other packet. More tests using this will be added in future commits. Contents: * The run-time of the test suite is cut by 10x when executing the tests on a real NIC, by only attaching the XDP program once per mode tested, instead of once per test program. * Over 700 lines of code have been removed. The xsk.c control file was moved straight over from libbpf when the xsk support was deprecated there. As it is now not used as library code that has to work with all kinds of versions of Linux, a lot of code could be dropped or simplified. * Add a new command line option "-d" that can be used when a test fails and you want to debug it with gdb or some other debugger. The option creates the two veth netdevs and prints them to the screen without deleting them afterwards. This way these veth netdevs can be used when running xskxceiver in a debugger. * Implemented the possibility to load external XDP programs so we can have more than the default one. This feature is used to implement a test where every other packet is dropped. Good exercise for the recycling mechanism of the xsk buffer pool used in zero-copy mode. * Various clean-ups and small fixes in patches 1 to 5. None of these fixes has any impact on the correct execution of the tests when they pass, though they can be irritating when a test fails. IMHO, they do not need to go to bpf as they will not fix anything there. The first version of patches 1, 2, and 4 where previously sent to bpf, but has now been included here. v2 -> v3: * Fixed compilation error for llvm [David] * Made the function xsk_is_in_drv_mode(ifobj) more generic by changing it to xsk_is_in_mode(ifobj, xdp_mode) [Maciej] * Added Maciej's acks to all the patches v1 -> v2: * Fixed spelling error in commit message of patch #6 [Björn] * Added explanation on why it is safe to use C11 atomics in patch #7 [Daniel] * Put all XDP programs in the same file so that adding more XDP programs to xskxceiver.c becomes more scalable in patches #11 and #12 [Maciej] * Removed more dead code in patch #8 [Maciej] * Removed stale %s specifier in error print, patch #9 [Maciej] * Changed name of XDP_CONSUMES_SOME_PACKETS to XDP_DROP_HALF to hopefully make it clearer [Maciej] * ifobj_rx and ifobj_tx name changes in patch #13 [Maciej] * Simplified XDP attachment code in patch #15 [Maciej] Patches: 1-5: Small fixes and clean-ups 6: New convenient debug option when using a debugger such as gdb 7-8: Removal of unnecessary code 9: Add the ability to load external XDP programs 10-11: Removal of more unnecessary code 12: Implement a new test where every other packet is XDP_DROP:ed 13: Unify the thread dispatching code 14-15: Simplify the way tests are written when using custom packet_streams or custom XDP programs Thanks: Magnus ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
