[PATCH bpf-next v5 2/4] xsk: Support UMEM chunk_size > PAGE_SIZE

From: Kal Conley
Date: Mon Apr 10 2023 - 08:08:16 EST


Add core AF_XDP support for chunk sizes larger than PAGE_SIZE. This
enables sending/receiving jumbo ethernet frames up to the theoretical
maximum of 64 KiB. For chunk sizes > PAGE_SIZE, the UMEM is required
to consist of HugeTLB VMAs (and be hugepage aligned). Initially, only
SKB mode is usable pending future driver work.

For consistency, check for HugeTLB pages during UMEM registration. This
implies that hugepages are required for XDP_COPY mode despite DMA not
being used. This restriction is desirable since it ensures user software
can take advantage of future driver support.

Despite this change, always store order-0 pages in the umem->pgs array
since this is what is returned by pin_user_pages(). Conversely, XSK
pools bound to HugeTLB UMEMs do DMA page accounting at hugepage
granularity (HPAGE_SIZE).

No significant change in RX/TX performance was observed with this patch.
A few data points are reproduced below:

-This setsockopt registers a UMEM to a socket. This is the area that

+This setsockopt registers a UMEM to a socket. The call takes a pointer
+to the beginning of this area and the size of it. Moreover, there is a
+parameter called chunk_size that is the size that the UMEM is divided
+into. The chunk size limits the maximum packet size that can be sent or
+received. For example, if you have a UMEM area that is 128K and a chunk
+size of 2K, then you will be able to hold a maximum of 128K / 2K = 64
+packets in your UMEM. In this case, the maximum packet size will be 2K.
+
+Valid chunk sizes range from 2K to 64K. However, in aligned mode, the
+chunk size must also be a power of two. Additionally, the chunk size
+must not exceed the size of a page (usually 4K). This limitation is
+relaxed for UMEM areas allocated with HugeTLB pages, in which case
+chunk sizes up to 64K are allowed. Note, this only works with hugepages
+allocated from the kernel's persistent pool. Using Transparent Huge
+Pages (THP) has no effect on the maximum chunk size.

There is also an option to set the headroom of each single buffer in
the UMEM. If you set this to N bytes, it means that the packet will
