Hi Fangrui,
If I read tools/testing/selftests/vDSO/parse_vdso.c correctly, it does
know DT_GNU_HASH as at now. Thus after this change the vDSO selftests
are skipped with "Couldn't find __vdso_gettimeofday" etc if the distro
enables --hash-style=gnu by default.
So it seems we need to add DT_GNU_HASH support for parse_vdso.c to keep
test coverage.

v19: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=876852&state=*
====
v18 got a thorough review (thanks!), and this iteration addresses the
feedback.
Major changes:
- Prevent deactivating mp bound queues.
- Prevent installing xdp on mp bound netdevs, or installing mps on xdp
installed netdevs.
- Fix corner cases in netlink API vis-a-vis missing attributes.
- Iron out the unreadable netmem driver support story. To be honest, the
conversation with Jakub & Pavel got a bit confusing for me. I've
implemented an approach in this set that makes sense to me, and
AFAICT, addresses the requirements. It may be good as-is, or it
may be a conversation starter/continuer. To be honest IMO there
are many ways to skin this cat and I don't see an extremely strong
reason to go for one approach over another. Here is one approach you
may like.
- Don't reset niov dma_addr on allocation & free.
- Add some tests to the selftest that catches some of the issues around
missing netlink attributes or deactivating mp-bound queues.

v17 got minor feedback: (a) to beef up the description on patch 1 and (b)
to remove the leading underscores in the header definition.
I applied (a). (b) seems to be against current conventions so I did not
apply before further discussion.

v16 also got a very thorough review and some testing (thanks again!).
Thes version addresses all the concerns reported on v15, in terms of
feedback and issues reported.
Major changes:
- Use ASSERT_RTNL.
- Moved around some of the page_pool helpers definitions so I can hide
some netmem helpers in private files as Jakub suggested.
- Don't make every net_iov hold a ref on the binding as Jakub suggested.
- Fix issue reported by Taehee where we access queues after they have
been freed.

v15 got a thorough review and some testing, and this version addresses almost
all the feedback. Some more minor comments where the authors said it
could be done later, I left out.
Major changes:
- Addition of dma-buf introspection to page-pool-get and queue-get.
- Fixes to selftests suggested by Taehee.
- Fixes to documentation suggested by Donald.
- A couple of suggestions and fixes to TCP patches by Eric and David.
- Fixes to number assignements suggested by Arnd.
- Use rtnl_lock()ing to guard against queue reconfiguration while the
page_pool initialization is happening. (Jakub).
- Fixes to a few warnings reproduced by Taehee.
- Fixes to dma-buf binding suggested by Taehee and Jakub.
- Fixes to netlink UAPI suggested by Jakub
- Applied a number of Reviewed-bys and Acked-bys (including ones I lost
from v13+).

I hope to be able to follow up with a fix to net tree as net-next closes
imminently, but if this iteration doesn't make it in, I will repost with
a fix squashed after net-next reopens, no problem.

No material changes in this version, only a fix to linking against
libynl.a from the last version. Per Jakub's instructions I've pulled one
of his patches into this series, and now use the new libynl.a correctly,
I hope.

top of net-next. v13, I think, raced with commit ebad6d0334793
("net/ipv4: Use nested-BH locking for ipv4_tcp_sk.") being merged to
net-next that caused a patchwork failure to apply. This series should
apply cleanly on commit c4532232fa2a4 ("selftests: net: remove unneeded
IP_GRE config").
I did not wait the customary 24hr as Jakub said it's OK to repost as soon
as I build test the rebased version:

GVE queue API has been merged. Submitting this version as non-RFC after
rebasing on top of the merged API, and dropped the out of tree queue API
I was carrying on github. Addressed the little feedback v8 has received.
Detailed changelog:

RFC v7:
=======
Major Changes:
--------------
This revision largely rebases on top of net-next and addresses the feedback
RFCv6 received from folks, namely Jakub, Yunsheng, Arnd, David, & Pavel.
The series remains in RFC because the queue-API ndos defined in this
series are not yet implemented. I have a GVE implementation I carry out
of tree for my testing. A upstreamable GVE implementation is in the
works. Aside from that, in my estimation all the patches are ready for
review/merge. Please do take a look.
As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver

file.
- Improve the performance seen through the page_pool benchmark.
- Fix the value definition of all the SO_DEVMEM_* uapi.
- Various fixes to documentation.
Perf - page-pool benchmark:
---------------------------
Improved performance of bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests compared to v6:
https://pastebin.com/raw/v5dYRg8L
net-next base: 8 cycle fast path.
RFC v6: 10 cycle fast path.
RFC v7: 9 cycle fast path.
RFC v7 with CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER disabled: 8 cycle fast path,
same as baseline.
Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark:
---------------------
Perf is about the same regardless of the changes in v7, namely the
removal of the static_branch_unlikely to improve the page_pool benchmark
performance:
189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP
TX i.e. ~95% line rate.
RFC v6:

As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v6/
This version also comes with some performance data recorded in the cover
letter (see below changelog).
Detailed changelog:
- Rebased on top of the merged netmem_ref changes.
- Converted skb->dmabuf to skb->readable (Pavel). Pavel's original
suggestion was to remove the skb->dmabuf flag entirely, but when I
looked into it closely, I found the issue that if we remove the flag
we have to dereference the shinfo(skb) pointer to obtain the first
frag to tell whether an skb is readable or not. This can cause a
performance regression if it dirties the cache line when the
shinfo(skb) was not really needed. Instead, I converted the skb->dmabuf
flag into a generic skb->readable flag which can be re-used by io_uring
0-copy RX.
- Squashed a few locking optimizations from Eric Dumazet in the RX path
and the DEVMEM_DONTNEED setsockopt.
- Expanded the tests a bit. Added validation for invalid scenarios and
added some more coverage.
Perf - page-pool benchmark:
---------------------------
bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests with and without these changes:
https://pastebin.com/raw/ncHDwAbn
AFAIK the number that really matters in the perf tests is the
'tasklet_page_pool01_fast_path Per elem'. This one measures at about 8
cycles without the changes but there is some 1 cycle noise in some
results.
With the patches this regresses to 9 cycles with the changes but there
is 1 cycle noise occasionally running this test repeatedly.
Lastly I tried disable the static_branch_unlikely() in
netmem_is_net_iov() check. To my surprise disabling the
static_branch_unlikely() check reduces the fast path back to 8 cycles,
but the 1 cycle noise remains.
Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark:
---------------------
189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP
TX i.e. ~95% line rate.
Major changes in RFC v5:
========================
1. Rebased on top of 'Abstract page from net stack' series and used the
new netmem type to refer to LSB set pointers instead of re-using
struct page.
2. Downgraded this series back to RFC and called it RFC v5. This is
because this series is now dependent on 'Abstract page from net
stack'[1] and the queue API. Both are removed from the series to
reduce the patch # and those bits are fairly independent or
pre-requisite work.
3. Reworked the page_pool devmem support to use netmem and for some
more unified handling.
4. Reworked the reference counting of net_iov (renamed from
page_pool_iov) to use pp_ref_count for refcounting.
The full changes including the dependent series and GVE page pool
support is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-rfcv5/
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=810774
Major changes in v1:
====================
1. Implemented MVP queue API ndos to remove the userspace-visible
driver reset.
2. Fixed issues in the napi_pp_put_page() devmem frag unref path.
3. Removed RFC tag.
Many smaller addressed comments across all the patches (patches have
individual change log).
Full tree including the rest of the GVE driver changes:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v1
Changes in RFC v3:
==================
1. Pulled in the memory-provider dependency from Jakub's RFC[1] to make the
series reviewable and mergeable.
2. Implemented multi-rx-queue binding which was a todo in v2.
3. Fix to cmsg handling.
The sticking point in RFC v2[2] was the device reset required to refill
the device rx-queues after the dmabuf bind/unbind. The solution
suggested as I understand is a subset of the per-queue management ops
Jakub suggested or similar:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230815171638.4c057dcd@kernel.org/
This is not addressed in this revision, because:
1. This point was discussed at netconf & netdev and there is openness to
using the current approach of requiring a device reset.
2. Implementing individual queue resetting seems to be difficult for my
test bed with GVE. My prototype to test this ran into issues with the
rx-queues not coming back up properly if reset individually. At the
moment I'm unsure if it's a mistake in the POC or a genuine issue in
the virtualization stack behind GVE, which currently doesn't test
individual rx-queue restart.
3. Our usecases are not bothered by requiring a device reset to refill
the buffer queues, and we'd like to support NICs that run into this
limitation with resetting individual queues.
My thought is that drivers that have trouble with per-queue configs can
use the support in this series, while drivers that support new netdev
ops to reset individual queues can automatically reset the queue as
part of the dma-buf bind/unbind.
The same approach with device resets is presented again for consideration
with other sticking points addressed.
This proposal includes the rx devmem path only proposed for merge. For a
snapshot of my entire tree which includes the GVE POC page pool support &
device memory support:

Changes in RFC v2:
==================
The sticking point in RFC v1[1] was the dma-buf pages approach we used to
deliver the device memory to the TCP stack. RFC v2 is a proof-of-concept
that attempts to resolve this by implementing scatterlist support in the
networking stack, such that we can import the dma-buf scatterlist
directly. This is the approach proposed at a high level here[2].
Detailed changes:
1. Replaced dma-buf pages approach with importing scatterlist into the
page pool.
2. Replace the dma-buf pages centric API with a netlink API.
3. Removed the TX path implementation - there is no issue with
implementing the TX path with scatterlist approach, but leaving
out the TX path makes it easier to review.
4. Functionality is tested with this proposal, but I have not conducted
perf testing yet. I'm not sure there are regressions, but I removed
perf claims from the cover letter until they can be re-confirmed.
5. Added Signed-off-by: contributors to the implementation.
6. Fixed some bugs with the RX path since RFC v1.
Any feedback welcome, but specifically the biggest pending questions
needing feedback IMO are:
1. Feedback on the scatterlist-based approach in general.
2. Netlink API (Patch 1 & 2).
3. Approach to handle all the drivers that expect to receive pages from
the page pool (Patch 6).

==================
* TL;DR:
Device memory TCP (devmem TCP) is a proposal for transferring data to and/or
from device memory efficiently, without bouncing the data to a host memory
buffer.
* Problem:
A large amount of data transfers have device memory as the source and/or
destination. Accelerators drastically increased the volume of such transfers.
Some examples include:
- ML accelerators transferring large amounts of training data from storage into
GPU/TPU memory. In some cases ML training setup time can be as long as 50% of
TPU compute time, improving data transfer throughput & efficiency can help
improving GPU/TPU utilization.
- Distributed training, where ML accelerators, such as GPUs on different hosts,
exchange data among them.
- Distributed raw block storage applications transfer large amounts of data with
remote SSDs, much of this data does not require host processing.
Today, the majority of the Device-to-Device data transfers the network are
implemented as the following low level operations: Device-to-Host copy,
Host-to-Host network transfer, and Host-to-Device copy.
The implementation is suboptimal, especially for bulk data transfers, and can
put significant strains on system resources, such as host memory bandwidth,
PCIe bandwidth, etc. One important reason behind the current state is the
kernel’s lack of semantics to express device to network transfers.
* Proposal:
In this patch series we attempt to optimize this use case by implementing
socket APIs that enable the user to:
1. send device memory across the network directly, and
2. receive incoming network packets directly into device memory.
Packet _payloads_ go directly from the NIC to device memory for receive and from
device memory to NIC for transmit.
Packet _headers_ go to/from host memory and are processed by the TCP/IP stack
normally. The NIC _must_ support header split to achieve this.
Advantages:
- Alleviate host memory bandwidth pressure, compared to existing
network-transfer + device-copy semantics.
- Alleviate PCIe BW pressure, by limiting data transfer to the lowest level
of the PCIe tree, compared to traditional path which sends data through the
root complex.
* Patch overview:
** Part 1: netlink API
Gives user ability to bind dma-buf to an RX queue.
** Part 2: scatterlist support
Currently the standard for device memory sharing is DMABUF, which doesn't
generate struct pages. On the other hand, networking stack (skbs, drivers, and
page pool) operate on pages. We have 2 options:
1. Generate struct pages for dmabuf device memory, or,
2. Modify the networking stack to process scatterlist.
Approach #1 was attempted in RFC v1. RFC v2 implements approach #2.
** part 3: page pool support
We piggy back on page pool memory providers proposal:
https://github.com/kuba-moo/linux/tree/pp-providers
It allows the page pool to define a memory provider that provides the
page allocation and freeing. It helps abstract most of the device memory
TCP changes from the driver.
** part 4: support for unreadable skb frags
Page pool iovs are not accessible by the host; we implement changes
throughput the networking stack to correctly handle skbs with unreadable
frags.
** Part 5: recvmsg() APIs
We define user APIs for the user to send and receive device memory.
Not included with this series is the GVE devmem TCP support, just to
simplify the review. Code available here if desired:
https://github.com/mina/linux/tree/tcpdevmem
This series is built on top of net-next with Jakub's pp-providers changes
cherry-picked.
* NIC dependencies:
1. (strict) Devmem TCP require the NIC to support header split, i.e. the
capability to split incoming packets into a header + payload and to put
each into a separate buffer. Devmem TCP works by using device memory
for the packet payload, and host memory for the packet headers.
2. (optional) Devmem TCP works better with flow steering support & RSS support,
i.e. the NIC's ability to steer flows into certain rx queues. This allows the
sysadmin to enable devmem TCP on a subset of the rx queues, and steer
devmem TCP traffic onto these queues and non devmem TCP elsewhere.
The NIC I have access to with these properties is the GVE with DQO support
running in Google Cloud, but any NIC that supports these features would suffice.
I may be able to help reviewers bring up devmem TCP on their NICs.
* Testing:
The series includes a udmabuf kselftest that show a simple use case of
devmem TCP and validates the entire data path end to end without
a dependency on a specific dmabuf provider.
** Test Setup
Kernel: net-next with this series and memory provider API cherry-picked
locally.
Hardware: Google Cloud A3 VMs.
NIC: GVE with header split & RSS & flow steering support.

2.46.0.76.ge559c4bf1a-goog
Hi,
Here is the v3 patch to support polling on event 'hist' file.
The previous version is here;
https://lore.kernel.org/all/171998475175.54594.7244942110355338359.stgit@de…
This version is rebased on the v6.11-rc3.
Background
----------
There has been interest in allowing user programs to monitor kernel
events in real time. Ftrace provides `trace_pipe` interface to wait
on events in the ring buffer, but it is needed to wait until filling
up a page with events in the ring buffer. We can also peek the
`trace` file periodically, but that is inefficient way to monitor
a randomely happening event.
Overview
--------
This patch set allows user to `poll`(or `select`, `epoll`) on event
histogram interface. As you know each event has its own `hist` file
which shows histograms generated by trigger action. So user can set
a new hist trigger on any event you want to monitor, and poll on the
`hist` file until it is updated.
There are 2 poll events are supported, POLLIN and POLLPRI. POLLIN
means that there are any readable update on `hist` file and this
event will be flashed only when you call read(). So, this is
useful if you want to read the histogram periodically.
The other POLLPRI event is for monitoring trace event. Like the
POLLIN, this will be returned when the histogram is updated, but
you don't need to read() the file and use poll() again.
Note that this waits for histogram update (not event arrival), thus
you must set a histogram on the event at first.
Usage
-----
Here is an example usage:
----
TRACEFS=/sys/kernel/tracing
EVENT=$TRACEFS/events/sched/sched_process_free
# setup histogram trigger and enable event
echo "hist:key=comm" >> $EVENT/trigger
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
# Wait for update
poll pri $EVENT/hist
# Event arrived.
echo "process free event is comming"
tail $TRACEFS/trace
----
The 'poll' command is in the selftest patch.
You can take this series also from here;
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhiramat/linux.git/log/?h=t…
Thank you,

2.34.1
There are 2 issues for the current udpgro test. The first one is the testing
doesn't record all the failures, which may report pass but the test actually
failed. e.g.
https://netdev-3.bots.linux.dev/vmksft-net/results/725661/45-udpgro-sh/stdo…
The other one is after commit d7db7775ea2e ("net: veth: do not manipulate
GRO when using XDP"), there is no need to load xdp program to enable GRO
on veth device.
Hangbin Liu (2):
