The patch introduces experimental AF_XDP support for OVS netdev.
AF_XDP, the Address Family of the eXpress Data Path, is a new Linux socket
type built upon the eBPF and XDP technology.  It is aims to have comparable
performance to DPDK but cooperate better with existing kernel's networking
stack.  An AF_XDP socket receives and sends packets from an eBPF/XDP program
attached to the netdev, by-passing a couple of Linux kernel's subsystems
As a result, AF_XDP socket shows much better performance than AF_PACKET
For more details about AF_XDP, please see linux kernel's
Documentation/networking/af_xdp.rst. Note that by default, this feature is
not compiled in.

How heavy is the x86(_64)-only dependency?  It seems undesirable.

Now in my patch, the cycles_counter_update has x86-specific instructions.
Other part of the code has no x86-only dependency.

The reason I made this x86-only is that AF_XDP is rarely tested on
non-x86 system. So I'm not sure whether it works or not.

William

Hi William,

I think the main objective of this patch is to introduce AF_XDP socket for OVS userspace datapath. This is an alternative to DPDK  PMD library.  Is it possible to continue using other DPDK libraries before XDP provides the corresponding functionality?

Best Regards,
Wei Yanqin

Hi Yanqin,

Yes, I'm aware of the new AF_XDP feature in DPDK PMD.
With this patch, you can use both together, the AF_XDP this patch and
the DPDK PMD.
For example, you can configure OVS with (see afxdp.rst in this path)
./configure  --enable-afxdp --with-dpdk=<dpdk path>

Regards,
William

+
+Introduction
+------------
+AF_XDP, Address Family of the eXpress Data Path, is a new Linux socket type
+built upon the eBPF and XDP technology.  It is aims to have comparable
+performance to DPDK but cooperate better with existing kernel's networking
+stack.  An AF_XDP socket receives and sends packets from an eBPF/XDP program
+attached to the netdev, by-passing a couple of Linux kernel's subsystems.
+As a result, AF_XDP socket shows much better performance than AF_PACKET.
+For more details about AF_XDP, please see linux kernel's
+Documentation/networking/af_xdp.rst
+
+
+AF_XDP Netdev
+-------------
+OVS has a couple of netdev types, i.e., system, tap, or
+dpdk.  The AF_XDP feature adds a new netdev types called
+"afxdp", and implement its configuration, packet reception,
+and transmit functions.  Since the AF_XDP socket, called xsk,
+operates in userspace, once ovs-vswitchd receives packets
+from xsk, the afxdp netdev re-uses the existing userspace
+dpif-netdev datapath.  As a result, most of the packet processing
+happens at the userspace instead of linux kernel.

+
+Build requirements
+------------------
+
+In addition to the requirements described in :doc:`general`, building Open
+vSwitch with AF_XDP will require the following:
+
+- libbpf from kernel source tree (kernel 5.0.0 or later)
+
+- Linux kernel XDP support, with the following options (required)
+
+  * CONFIG_BPF=y
+
+  * CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y
+
+  * CONFIG_XDP_SOCKETS=y
+
+
+- The following optional Kconfig options are also recommended, but not
+  required:
+
+  * CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y (Performance)
+
+  * CONFIG_HAVE_BPF_JIT=y (Performance)
+
+  * CONFIG_XDP_SOCKETS_DIAG=y (Debugging)
+
+- Once your AF_XDP-enabled kernel is ready, if possible, run
+  **./xdpsock -r -N -z -i <your device>** under linux/samples/bpf.
+  This is an OVS indepedent benchmark tools for AF_XDP.
+  It makes sure your basic kernel requirements are met for AF_XDP.
+
+
+Installing
+----------
+For OVS to use AF_XDP netdev, it has to be configured with LIBBPF support.
+Frist, clone a recent version of Linux bpf-next tree::
+
+  git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git
+
+Second, go into the Linux source directory and build libbpf in the tools
+directory::
+
+  cd bpf-next/
+  cd tools/lib/bpf/
+  make && make install
+  make install_headers
+
+.. note::
+   Make sure xsk.h and bpf.h are installed in system's library path,
+   e.g. /usr/local/include/bpf/ or /usr/include/bpf/
+
+Make sure the libbpf.so is installed correctly::
+
+  ldconfig
+  ldconfig -p | grep libbpf
+
+Third, ensure the standard OVS requirements are installed and
+bootstrap/configure the package::
+
+  ./boot.sh && ./configure --enable-afxdp
+
+Finally, build and install OVS::
+
+  make && make install
+
+To kick start end-to-end autotesting::
+
+  uname -a # make sure having 5.0+ kernel
+  make check-afxdp TESTSUITEFLAGS='1'
+
+If a test case fails, check the log at::
+
+  cat tests/system-afxdp-testsuite.dir/001/system-afxdp-testsuite.log
+
+
+Setup AF_XDP netdev
+-------------------
+Before running OVS with AF_XDP, make sure the libbpf and libelf are
+set-up right::
+
+  ldd vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd
+
+Open vSwitch should be started using userspace datapath as described
+in :doc:`general`::
+
+  ovs-vswitchd ...
+  ovs-vsctl -- add-br br0 -- set Bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev
+
+Make sure your device driver support AF_XDP, and to use 1 PMD (on core 4)
+on 1 queue (queue 0) device, configure these options: **pmd-cpu-mask,
+pmd-rxq-affinity, and n_rxq**. The **xdpmode** can be "drv" or "skb"::
+
+  ethtool -L enp2s0 combined 1
+  ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0x10
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 enp2s0 -- set interface enp2s0 type="afxdp" \
+    options:n_rxq=1 options:xdpmode=drv \
+    other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity="0:4"
+
+Or, use 4 pmds/cores and 4 queues by doing::
+
+  ethtool -L enp2s0 combined 4
+  ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0x36
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 enp2s0 -- set interface enp2s0 type="afxdp" \
+    options:n_rxq=4 options:xdpmode=drv \
+    other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity="0:1,1:2,2:3,3:4"
+
+.. note::
+   pmd-rxq-affinity is optional. If not specified, system will auto-assign.
+
+To validate that the bridge has successfully instantiated, you can use the::
+
+  ovs-vsctl show
+
+Should show something like::
+
+  Port "ens802f0"
+   Interface "ens802f0"
+      type: afxdp
+      options: {n_rxq="1", xdpmode=drv}
+
+Otherwise, enable debugging by::
+
+  ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_afxdp::dbg
+
+

+
+Performance Tuning
+------------------
+The name of the game is to keep your CPU running in userspace, allowing PMD
+to keep polling the AF_XDP queues without any interferences from kernel.
+
+#. Make sure everything is in the same NUMA node (memory used by AF_XDP, pmd
+   running cores, device plug-in slot)
+
+#. Isolate your CPU by doing isolcpu at grub configure.
+
+#. IRQ should not set to pmd running core.
+
+#. The Spectre and Meltdown fixes increase the overhead of system calls.
+
+
+Debugging performance issue
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+While running the traffic, use linux perf tool to see where your cpu
+spends its cycle::
+
+  cd bpf-next/tools/perf
+  make
+  ./perf record -p `pidof ovs-vswitchd` sleep 10
+  ./perf report
+
+Measure your system call rate by doing::
+
+  pstree -p `pidof ovs-vswitchd`
+  strace -c -p <your pmd's PID>
+
+Or, use OVS pmd tool::
+
+  ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-stats-show
+
+
+Example Script
+--------------
+
+Below is a script using namespaces and veth peer::
+
+  #!/bin/bash
+  ovs-vswitchd --no-chdir --pidfile -vvconn -vofproto_dpif -vunixctl \
+    --disable-system --detach \
+  ovs-vsctl -- add-br br0 -- set Bridge br0 \
+    protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow11,OpenFlow12,OpenFlow13,OpenFlow14 \
+    fail-mode=secure datapath_type=netdev
+  ovs-vsctl -- add-br br0 -- set Bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev
+
+  ip netns add at_ns0
+  ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_afxdp::dbg
+
+  ip link add p0 type veth peer name afxdp-p0
+  ip link set p0 netns at_ns0
+  ip link set dev afxdp-p0 up
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 afxdp-p0 -- \
+    set interface afxdp-p0 external-ids:iface-id="p0" type="afxdp"
+
+  ip netns exec at_ns0 sh << NS_EXEC_HEREDOC
+  ip addr add "10.1.1.1/24" dev p0
+  ip link set dev p0 up
+  NS_EXEC_HEREDOC
+
+  ip netns add at_ns1
+  ip link add p1 type veth peer name afxdp-p1
+  ip link set p1 netns at_ns1
+  ip link set dev afxdp-p1 up
+
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 afxdp-p1 -- \
+    set interface afxdp-p1 external-ids:iface-id="p1" type="afxdp"
+  ip netns exec at_ns1 sh << NS_EXEC_HEREDOC
+  ip addr add "10.1.1.2/24" dev p1
+  ip link set dev p1 up
+  NS_EXEC_HEREDOC
+
+  ip netns exec at_ns0 ping -i .2 10.1.1.2
+
+
+Limitations/Known Issues
+------------------------
+#. Device's numa ID is always 0, need a way to find numa id from a netdev.
+#. No QoS support because AF_XDP netdev by-pass the Linux TC layer. A possible
+   work-around is to use OpenFlow meter action.
+#. AF_XDP device added to bridge, remove, and added again will fail.
+#. Most of the tests are done using i40e single port. Multiple ports and
+   also ixgbe driver also needs to be tested.
+#. No latency test result (TODO items)
+
+
+PVP using tap device
+--------------------
+Assume you have enp2s0 as physical nic, and a tap device connected to VM.
+First, start OVS, then add physical port::
+
+  ethtool -L enp2s0 combined 1
+  ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0x10
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 enp2s0 -- set interface enp2s0 type="afxdp" \
+    options:n_rxq=1 options:xdpmode=drv \
+    other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity="0:4"
+
+Start a VM with virtio and tap device::
+
+  qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ubuntu1810.qcow \
+    -m 4096 \
+    -cpu host,+x2apic -enable-kvm \
+    -device virtio-net-pci,mac=00:02:00:00:00:01,netdev=net0,mq=on,\
+      vectors=10,mrg_rxbuf=on,rx_queue_size=1024 \
+    -netdev type=tap,id=net0,vhost=on,queues=8 \
+    -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4096M,\
+      mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
+    -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc -smp 2
+
+Create OpenFlow rules::
+
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tap0 -- set interface tap0 type="afxdp"
+  ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
+  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=enp2s0, actions=output:tap0"
+  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=tap0, actions=output:enp2s0"
+
+Inside the VM, use xdp_rxq_info to bounce back the traffic::
+
+  ./xdp_rxq_info --dev ens3 --action XDP_TX
+
+The performance number I got is around 1.6Mpps.
+This is due to using the kernel's tap interface, which requires copying
+packet into kernel from the umem buffer in userspace.
+
+
+PVP using vhostuser device
+--------------------------
+First, build OVS with DPDK and AFXDP::
+
+  ./configure  --enable-afxdp --with-dpdk=<dpdk path>
+  make -j4 && make install
+
+Create a vhost-user port from OVS::
+
+  ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true
+  ovs-vsctl -- add-br br0 -- set Bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev \
+    other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0xfff
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vhost-user-1 \
+    -- set Interface vhost-user-1 type=dpdkvhostuser
+
+Start VM using vhost-user mode::
+
+  qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ubuntu1810.qcow \
+   -m 4096 \
+   -cpu host,+x2apic -enable-kvm \
+   -chardev socket,id=char1,path=/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/vhost-user-1 \
+   -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char1,vhostforce,queues=4 \
+   -device virtio-net-pci,mac=00:00:00:00:00:01,\
+      netdev=mynet1,mq=on,vectors=10 \
+   -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4096M,\
+      mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
+   -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc -smp 2
+
+Setup the OpenFlow ruls::
+
+  ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
+  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=enp2s0, actions=output:vhost-user-1"
+  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=vhost-user-1, actions=output:enp2s0"
+
+Inside the VM, use xdp_rxq_info to drop or bounce back the traffic::
+
+  ./xdp_rxq_info --dev ens3 --action XDP_DROP
+  ./xdp_rxq_info --dev ens3 --action XDP_TX
+
+Performance: for RX_DROP: 6.6Mpps, TX: 2.3Mpps
+
+
+PCP container using veth
+------------------------
+Create namespace and veth peer devices::
+
+  ip netns add at_ns0
+  ip link add p0 type veth peer name afxdp-p0
+  ip link set p0 netns at_ns0
+  ip link set dev afxdp-p0 up
+  ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link set dev p0 up
+
+Attach the veth port to br0 (linux kernel mode)::
+
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 afxdp-p0 -- \
+    set interface afxdp-p0 options:n_rxq=1
+
+Or, use AF_XDP with skb mode::
+
+  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 afxdp-p0 -- \
+    set interface afxdp-p0 type="afxdp" options:n_rxq=1 options:xdpmode=skb
+
+Setup the OpenFlow rules::
+
+  ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
+  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=enp2s0, actions=output:afxdp-p0"
+  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=afxdp-p0, actions=output:enp2s0"
+
+In the namespace, run drop or bounce back the packet::
+
+  ip netns exec at_ns0 ./xdp_rxq_info --dev p0 --action XDP_DROP
+  ip netns exec at_ns0 ./xdp_rxq_info --dev p0 --action XDP_TX
+
+Performace: for RX_DROP: 800Kpps, TX: 700Kpps
