When function igc_rx_hash() was introduced in v4.20 via commit 0507ef8a0372
("igc: Add transmit and receive fastpath and interrupt handlers"), the
hardware wasn't configured to provide RSS hash, thus it made sense to not
enable net_device NETIF_F_RXHASH feature bit.

The NIC hardware was configured to enable RSS hash info in v5.2 via commit
2121c2712f82 ("igc: Add multiple receive queues control supporting"), but
forgot to set the NETIF_F_RXHASH feature bit.

The original implementation of igc_rx_hash() didn't extract the associated
pkt_hash_type, but statically set PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3. The largest portions of
this patch are about extracting the RSS Type from the hardware and mapping
this to enum pkt_hash_types. This were based on Foxville i225 software user
manual rev-1.3.1 and tested on Intel Ethernet Controller I225-LM (rev 03).

For UDP it's worth noting that RSS (type) hashing have been disabled both for
IPv4 and IPv6 (see IGC_MRQC_RSS_FIELD_IPV4_UDP + IGC_MRQC_RSS_FIELD_IPV6_UDP)
because hardware RSS doesn't handle fragmented pkts well when enabled (can
cause out-of-order). This result in PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3 for UDP packets, and
hash value doesn't include UDP port numbers. Not being PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4, have
the effect that netstack will do a software based hash calc calling into
flow_dissect, but only when code calls skb_get_hash(), which doesn't
necessary happen for local delivery.

Sending this fix against bpf-next, as I found this issue while playing
with implementing XDP-hints kfunc for xmo_rx_hash. I will hopefully send
kfunc patches next week, on top of this.IMHO this fix isn't very 
critical and I hope it can simply go though the
bpf-next tree as it would ease followup kfunc patches.

Intel QA tester wanting to verify this patch can use the small bpftrace
tool I wrote and placed here:

 
https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-project/blob/master/areas/hints/monitor_skb_hash_on_dev.bt

Failure scenarios:

$ sudo ./monitor_skb_hash_on_dev.bt igc1
Attaching 2 probes...
Monitor net_device: igc1
Hit Ctrl-C to end.
IFNAME           HASH      Hash-type:L4    Software-hash
igc1             00000000  0               0
igc1             00000000  0               0
igc1             00000000  0               0
^C


Example output with patch:

$ sudo ./monitor_skb_hash_on_dev.bt igc1
Attaching 2 probes...
Monitor net_device: igc1
Hit Ctrl-C to end.
IFNAME           HASH      Hash-type:L4    Software-hash

igc1             00000000  0               0
igc1             00000000  0               0
igc1             FEF98EFE  0               0

igc1             A229FA51  1               0

The repeating hash FEF98EFE is UDP packets that as desc note doesn't
have Hash-type:L4.  The UDP has is repeating as port numbers aren't part
of the hash, and I was sending to same IP. The hash values with L4=1
were TCP packets.

Hope this eases QA work.

GENMASK()?

Why use types shorter than u32 on the stack?
Why this union is not const here, since there are no modifications?

The most important I wanted to mention: doesn't this function make the
CPU read the uncached field again, while you could just read it once
onto the stack and then extract all such data from there?

Also short types and consts.

Perfect candidate for FIELD_GET(). No, even for le32_get_bits().

Also my note above about excessive expensive reads.

Why define those empty if you could do a bound check in the code
instead? E.g. `if (unlikely(bigger_than_9)) return PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2`.

Excuse my ignorance, but is that bug visible in practice by users 
(performance?) or is that fix needed for future work?

Is it necessary to specficy the length of the return value, or could it 
be `unsigned int`. Using “native” types is normally more performant [1]. 
`scripts/bloat-o-meter` might help to verify that.

Hash calculation always happens when RPS or RFS is enabled. So having no
hash in skb before hitting the netstack slows down their performance.
Also, no hash in skb passed from the driver results in worse NAPI bucket
distribution when there are more traffic flows than Rx queues / CPUs.
+ Netfilter needs hashes on some configurations.

On default configurations and workloads like browsing the Internet this
usually is not the case, but only then I'd say.

Nice to see that you also care about (not) using short types on the stack :)

Thanks for the link[1].
Alex/Olek also pointed this out.

The Agner's instruction latency tables[2] do indicate the latency is
slightly higher for r8 and r16 (and m8/m16).  And we likely need to look 
at the zero-extend variants movzx.

I think we should investigate this with "tool" godbolt.org as
scripts/bloat-o-meter will only tell us about code size.
I will experiment a bit and report back :-)

Thanks Olek for explaining that.

My perf measurements show that the expensive part is that netstack will
call the flow_dissector code, when the hardware RX-hash is missing.

As can be seen by godbolt.org exploration[0] I have done, the stack
isn't used for storing the values.

https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-project/tree/master/areas/hints/godbolt/

I have created three files[2] with C-code that can be compiled via 
https://godbolt.org/.  The C-code contains a comment with the ASM code

That's complicated I'd say. I mean, never trust the compilers.
Yesterday I had a problem when the compiler (Clang 16) wasn't inlining
oneliners (called only once) into one big function and was making
19-byte tiny functions from each of them, resulting in 10+ functions
consisting of one call only => 2x jumps between functions :clownface:
Especially when you use non-native words (u8/u16, also u64 for 32-bit
arches) like this.

Well, not always, but right, the skb_get_hash() family is used widely
across the netstack, so it's highly recommended to have hardware hash
filled in skbs, same as with checksums, to avoid wasting CPU on
computing them in software.
And the Flow Dissector is expensive by its nature, a bunch faster when
you attach a BPF prog to it, but still (not that I support P4, I don't
at all).

Good stuff, thanks! When I call to not use short types on the stack, the
only thing I care about is the resulting object code, not simple "just
don't use it, I said so". So when a developer inspects the results from
using one or another type, he's free in picking whatever he wants if it
doesn't hurt optimization.

hmm... GENMASK(3,0) looks more confusing to me. The mask we need here is

I really don't think this is an issues here. The igc_adv_rx_desc is only
16 bytes and it should be hot in CPU cache by now.

To avoid the movzx I have changed this to do a u32 read instead.

I adjusted this, but I could not find a central define for FIELD_GET

Having a branch for this is likely slower.  On godbolt I see that this 
generates suboptimal and larger code.

Usually, yes, I also prefer early return style code.
For one I just followed the existing style.

Second, I tried to code it up, but it looks ugly in this case, as the
variable defines need to get moved outside the if statement.

Rx descriptors are located in the DMA coherent zone (allocated via
dma_alloc_coherent()), I am missing something? Because I was (I am) sure
CPU doesn't cache anything from it (and doesn't reorder reads/writes
from/to). I thought that's the point of coherent zones -- you may talk
to hardware without needing for syncing...

<linux/bitfield.h>. It has FIELD_{GET,PREP}() and also builds
{u,__le,__be}{8,16,32}_{encode,get,replace}_bits() via macro (the latter
doesn't get indexed by Elixir, as it doesn't parse functions built via
macros).

But you have to verify HW output anyway, right? Or would like to rely on
that on some weird revision it won't spit BIT(69) on you?

I'd not recommend "keep the existing style" of Intel drivers -- not

Changed my mind, I'm going with GENMASK(3,0) in V3.

That is a good point and you are (likely) right.

I do want to remind you that this is a "fixes" patch that dates back to
v5.2.  This driver is from the very beginning coded to access descriptor
this way via union igc_adv_rx_desc.  For a fixes patch, I'm not going to
code up a new and more effecient way of accessing the descriptor memory.

If you truely believe this matters for a 2.5 Gbit/s device, then someone 
(e.g you) can go through this driver and change this pattern in the code.

Dropping all the code and defines for "igc_pkt_type", as the code ended
up not being used.  I simply kept this around to document what was in
the programmers datasheet (to help others understand the hardware).

Thanks for the pointer to <linux/bitfield.h>, I'll be using that in V3.

Changing these 10-15 to PKT_HASH_TYPE_NONE, which is zero.
The ASM generated table is smaller code size with zero padded content.

The table is constructed such that the lookup takes care of "verifying"
the HW output.  Notice that software will bit mask the last 4 bits, thus
the number will max be 15.  No matter what hardware outputs it is safe
to do a lookup in the table.  IMHO it is a simple way to avoid an
unnecessary verification branch and still be able to handle buggy/weird
HW revs.

Sure, not for fixes definitely. +

Yeah, and _L2 is applicable only when there's actual hash (but it's
hashed by MAC addresses, for example). Sorry I didn't notice this :s

Ah, didn't notice the field is of 4 bits. Ack then.

BTW, it's funny that when I proposed an optimization, you said "it makes
no sense on 2.5G NICs", but when you omit bounds checking and just
extend the array with zero fields, it suddenly starts making sense to
save a couple instructions :D

(just an observation)

Oh, forgot to mention: I just don't want to give people "bad" example. I
mean, someone may look at some code where u8-u16s are actively used and
start thinking that it's a regular/standard practice, while it's not.
I've seen a lot of places in the kernel where the short types were used
only because "the queue index can't be bigger than 255", "we won't
handle more than 64Kb of data in one loop anyway" and then the stack is
full of u8s and u16s and the object code (I'm talking more about
hotpaths, but generally is applicable to any code) is full of masking
and other completely avoidable operations.
