ice: GTP support in switchdev
Marcin Szycik says:
Add support for adding GTP-C and GTP-U filters in switchdev mode.
To create a filter for GTP, create a GTP-type netdev with ip tool, enable
hardware offload, add qdisc and add a filter in tc:
ip link add $GTP0 type gtp role <sgsn/ggsn> hsize <hsize>
ethtool -K $PF0 hw-tc-offload on
tc qdisc add dev $GTP0 ingress
tc filter add dev $GTP0 ingress prio 1 flower enc_key_id 1337 \
action mirred egress redirect dev $VF1_PR
By default, a filter for GTP-U will be added. To add a filter for GTP-C,
specify enc_dst_port = 2123, e.g.:
tc filter add dev $GTP0 ingress prio 1 flower enc_key_id 1337 \
enc_dst_port 2123 action mirred egress redirect dev $VF1_PR
Note: outer IPv6 offload is not supported yet.
Note: GTP-U with no payload offload is not supported yet.
ICE COMMS package is required to create a filter as it contains GTP
profiles.
Changes in iproute2 [1] are required to be able to add GTP netdev and use
GTP-specific options (QFI and PDU type).

Adding GTP device through ip link creates the situation where
GTP instance is not able to send GTP echo requests.
Echo requests are used to check if GTP peer is still alive.
With this patch, gtp_genl_ops are extended by new cmd (GTP_CMD_ECHOREQ)
which allows to send echo request in the given version of GTP
protocol (v0 or v1), from the given ms address to he given
peer. TID is not inclued because in all path management
messages it should be equal to 0.
When GTP echo response is detected, multicast message is
send to everyone in the gtp_genl_family. Message contains
GTP version, ms address and peer address.

Adding GTP device through ip link creates the situation where
there is no userspace daemon which would handle GTP messages
(Echo Request for example). GTP-U instance which would not respond
to echo requests would violate GTP specification.
When GTP packet arrives with GTP_ECHO_REQ message type,
GTP_ECHO_RSP is send to the sender. GTP_ECHO_RSP message
should contain information element with GTPIE_RECOVERY tag and
restart counter value. For GTPv1 restart counter is not used
and should be equal to 0, for GTPv0 restart counter contains
information provided from userspace(IFLA_GTP_RESTART_COUNT).

Currently, when the user wants to create GTP device, he has to
provide file handles to the sockets created in userspace (IFLA_GTP_FD0,
IFLA_GTP_FD1). This behaviour is not ideal, considering the option of
adding support for GTP device creation through ip link. Ip link
application is not a good place to create such sockets.
This patch allows to create GTP device without providing
IFLA_GTP_FD0 and IFLA_GTP_FD1 arguments. If the user sets
IFLA_GTP_CREATE_SOCKETS attribute, then GTP module takes care
of creating UDP sockets by itself. Sockets are created with the
commonly known UDP ports used for GTP protocol (GTP0_PORT and
GTP1U_PORT). In this case we don't have to provide encap_destroy
because no extra deinitialization is needed, everything is covered
by udp_tunnel_sock_release.
Note: GTP instance created with only this change applied, does
not handle GTP Echo Requests. This is implemented in the following
patch.

Few years ago OVS user space made a strange choice in the commit [1]
to define types only valid for the user space inside the copy of a
kernel uAPI header. '#ifndef __KERNEL__' and another attribute was
added later.
This leads to the inevitable clash between user space and kernel types
when the kernel uAPI is extended. The issue was unveiled with the
addition of a new type for IPv6 extension header in kernel uAPI.
When kernel provides the OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS attribute to the
older user space application, application tries to parse it as
OVS_KEY_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE and discards the whole netlink message as
malformed. Since OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS is supplied along with
every IPv6 packet that goes to the user space, IPv6 support is fully
broken.
Fixing that by bringing these user space attributes to the kernel
uAPI to avoid the clash. Strictly speaking this is not the problem
of the kernel uAPI, but changing it is the only way to avoid breakage
of the older user space applications at this point.
These 2 types are explicitly rejected now since they should not be
passed to the kernel. Additionally, OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL_INFO moved
out from the '#ifdef __KERNEL__' as there is no good reason to hide
it from the userspace. And it's also explicitly rejected now, because
it's for in-kernel use only.
Comments with warnings were added to avoid the problem coming back.
(1 << type) converted to (1ULL << type) to avoid integer overflow on
OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS, since it equals 32 now.

The N_As value describes the time a CAN frame needs on the wire when
transmitted by the CAN controller. Even very short CAN FD frames need
arround 100 usecs (bitrate 1Mbit/s, data bitrate 8Mbit/s).
Having N_As to be zero (the former default) leads to 'no CAN frame
separation' when STmin is set to zero by the receiving node. This 'burst
mode' should not be enabled by default as it could potentially dump a high
number of CAN frames into the netdev queue from the soft hrtimer context.
This does not affect the system stability but is just not nice and
cooperative.
With this N_As/frame_txtime value the 'burst mode' is disabled by default.
As user space applications usually do not set the frame_txtime element
of struct can_isotp_options the new in-kernel default is very likely
overwritten with zero when the sockopt() CAN_ISOTP_OPTS is invoked.
To make sure that a N_As value of zero is only set intentional the
value '0' is now interpreted as 'do not change the current value'.
When a frame_txtime of zero is required for testing purposes this
CAN_ISOTP_FRAME_TXTIME_ZERO u32 value has to be set in frame_txtime.

In some edge scenarios, an MPTCP subflows can use a local address
mapped by a "implicit" endpoint created by the in-kernel path manager.
Such endpoints presence can be confusing, as it's creation is hard
to track and will prevent the later endpoint creation from the user-space
using the same address.
Define a new endpoint flag to mark implicit endpoints and allow the
user-space to replace implicit them with user-provided data at endpoint
creation time.

* __sk_buff->delivery_time_type:
This patch adds __sk_buff->delivery_time_type. It tells if the
delivery_time is stored in __sk_buff->tstamp or not.
It will be most useful for ingress to tell if the __sk_buff->tstamp
has the (rcv) timestamp or delivery_time. If delivery_time_type
is 0 (BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_NONE), it has the (rcv) timestamp.
Two non-zero types are defined for the delivery_time_type,
BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO and BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_UNSPEC. For UNSPEC,
it can only happen in egress because only mono delivery_time can be
forwarded to ingress now. The clock of UNSPEC delivery_time
can be deduced from the skb->sk->sk_clockid which is how
the sch_etf doing it also.
* Provide forwarded delivery_time to tc-bpf@ingress:
With the help of the new delivery_time_type, the tc-bpf has a way
to tell if the __sk_buff->tstamp has the (rcv) timestamp or
the delivery_time. During bpf load time, the verifier will learn if
the bpf prog has accessed the new __sk_buff->delivery_time_type.
If it does, it means the tc-bpf@ingress is expecting the
skb->tstamp could have the delivery_time. The kernel will then
read the skb->tstamp as-is during bpf insn rewrite without
checking the skb->mono_delivery_time. This is done by adding a
new prog->delivery_time_access bit. The same goes for
writing skb->tstamp.
* bpf_skb_set_delivery_time():
The bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() helper is added to allow setting both
delivery_time and the delivery_time_type at the same time. If the
tc-bpf does not need to change the delivery_time_type, it can directly
write to the __sk_buff->tstamp as the existing tc-bpf has already been
doing. It will be most useful at ingress to change the
__sk_buff->tstamp from the (rcv) timestamp to
a mono delivery_time and then bpf_redirect_*().
bpf only has mono clock helper (bpf_ktime_get_ns), and
the current known use case is the mono EDT for fq, and
only mono delivery time can be kept during forward now,
so bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() only supports setting
BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO. It can be extended later when use cases
come up and the forwarding path also supports other clock bases.

Add a new IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS child attribute,
IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS, to carry statistics for traffic that takes
place in a HW router.
The offloaded HW stats are designed to allow per-netdevice enablement and
disablement. Additionally, as a netdevice is configured, it may become or
cease being suitable for binding of a HW counter. Both of these aspects
need to be communicated to the userspace. To that end, add another child
attribute, IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO:
- attr nest IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO
- attr nest IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS
- attr IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO_REQUEST
- {0,1} as u8
- attr IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO_USED
- {0,1} as u8
Thus this one attribute is a nest that can be used to carry information
about various types of HW statistics, and indexing is very simply done by
wrapping the information for a given statistics suite into the attribute
that carries the suite is the RTM_GETSTATS query. At the same time, because
_HW_S_INFO is nested directly below IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS, it is
possible through filtering to request only the metadata about individual
statistics suites, without having to hit the HW to get the actual counters.

Offloading switch device drivers may be able to collect statistics of the
traffic taking place in the HW datapath that pertains to a certain soft
netdevice, such as VLAN. Add the necessary infrastructure to allow exposing
these statistics to the offloaded netdevice in question. The API was shaped
by the following considerations:
- Collection of HW statistics is not free: there may be a finite number of
counters, and the act of counting may have a performance impact. It is
therefore necessary to allow toggling whether HW counting should be done
for any particular SW netdevice.
- As the drivers are loaded and removed, a particular device may get
offloaded and unoffloaded again. At the same time, the statistics values
need to stay monotonic (modulo the eventual 64-bit wraparound),
increasing only to reflect traffic measured in the device.
To that end, the netdevice keeps around a lazily-allocated copy of struct
rtnl_link_stats64. Device drivers then contribute to the values kept
therein at various points. Even as the driver goes away, the struct stays
around to maintain the statistics values.
- Different HW devices may be able to count different things. The
motivation behind this patch in particular is exposure of HW counters on
Nvidia Spectrum switches, where the only practical approach to counting
traffic on offloaded soft netdevices currently is to use router interface
counters, and count L3 traffic. Correspondingly that is the statistics
suite added in this patch.
Other devices may be able to measure different kinds of traffic, and for
that reason, the APIs are built to allow uniform access to different
statistics suites.
- Because soft netdevices and offloading drivers are only loosely bound, a
netdevice uses a notifier chain to communicate with the drivers. Several
new notifiers, NETDEV_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_*, have been added to carry messages
to the offloading drivers.
- Devices can have various conditions for when a particular counter is
available. As the device is configured and reconfigured, the device
offload may become or cease being suitable for counter binding. A
netdevice can use a notifier type NETDEV_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_REPORT_USED to
ping offloading drivers and determine whether anyone currently implements
a given statistics suite. This information can then be propagated to user
space.
When the driver decides to unoffload a netdevice, it can use a
newly-added function, netdev_offload_xstats_report_delta(), to record
outstanding collected statistics, before destroying the HW counter.
This patch adds a helper, call_netdevice_notifiers_info_robust(), for
dispatching a notifier with the possibility of unwind when one of the
consumers bails. Given the wish to eventually get rid of the global
notifier block altogether, this helper only invokes the per-netns notifier
block.

The filter_mask field of RTM_GETSTATS header determines which top-level
attributes should be included in the netlink response. This saves
processing time by only including the bits that the user cares about
instead of always dumping everything. This is doubly important for
HW-backed statistics that would typically require a trip to the device to
fetch the stats.
So far there was only one HW-backed stat suite per attribute. However,
IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS is a nest, and will gain a new stat suite in
the following patches. It would therefore be advantageous to be able to
filter within that nest, and select just one or the other HW-backed
statistics suite.
Extend rtnetlink so that RTM_GETSTATS permits attributes in the payload.
The scheme is as follows:
- RTM_GETSTATS
- struct if_stats_msg
- attr nest IFLA_STATS_GET_FILTERS
- attr IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS
- u32 filter_mask
This scheme reuses the existing enumerators by nesting them in a dedicated
context attribute. This is covered by policies as usual, therefore a
gradual opt-in is possible. Currently only IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS
nest has filtering enabled, because for the SW counters the issue does not
seem to be that important.
rtnl_offload_xstats_get_size() and _fill() are extended to observe the
requested filters.
