In production, we're seeing TX drops on veth devices when the ptr_ring
fills up. This can occur when NAPI mode is enabled, though it's
relatively rare. However, with threaded NAPI - which we use in
production - the drops become significantly more frequent.
The underlying issue is that with threaded NAPI, the consumer often runs
on a different CPU than the producer. This increases the likelihood of
the ring filling up before the consumer gets scheduled, especially under
load, leading to drops in veth_xmit() (ndo_start_xmit()).
This patch introduces backpressure by returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY when the
ring is full, signaling the qdisc layer to requeue the packet. The txq
(netdev queue) is stopped in this condition and restarted once
veth_poll() drains entries from the ring, ensuring coordination between
NAPI and qdisc.
Backpressure is only enabled when a qdisc is attached. Without a qdisc,
the driver retains its original behavior - dropping packets immediately
when the ring is full. This avoids unexpected behavior changes in setups
without a configured qdisc.
With a qdisc in place (e.g. fq, sfq) this allows Active Queue Management
(AQM) to fairly schedule packets across flows and reduce collateral
damage from elephant flows.
A known limitation of this approach is that the full ring sits in front
of the qdisc layer, effectively forming a FIFO buffer that introduces
base latency. While AQM still improves fairness and mitigates flow
dominance, the latency impact is measurable.
In hardware drivers, this issue is typically addressed using BQL (Byte
Queue Limits), which tracks in-flight bytes needed based on physical link
rate. However, for virtual drivers like veth, there is no fixed bandwidth
constraint - the bottleneck is CPU availability and the scheduler's ability
to run the NAPI thread. It is unclear how effective BQL would be in this
context.
This patch serves as a first step toward addressing TX drops. Future work
may explore adapting a BQL-like mechanism to better suit virtual devices
like veth.

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).
The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:
- source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
- target netns - where to put the device being created,
- link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
- peer netns - netns of peer device.
Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | source | target |
| absent +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | link | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | peer | target |
| present +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | peer | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.
On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.
To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params->net trivially.

Initially, xdp_frame::mem.id was used to search for the corresponding
&page_pool to return the page correctly.
However, after that struct page was extended to have a direct pointer
to its PP (netmem has it as well), further keeping of this field makes
no sense. xdp_return_frame_bulk() still used it to do a lookup, and
this leftover is now removed.
Remove xdp_frame::mem and replace it with ::mem_type, as only memory
type still matters and we need to know it to be able to free the frame
correctly.
As a cute side effect, we can now make every scalar field in &xdp_frame
of 4 byte width, speeding up accesses to them.

Currently rtnl_link_get_net_ifla() gets called twice when we create
peer devices, once in rtnl_add_peer_net() and once in each ->newlink()
implementation.
This looks safer, however, it leads to a classic Time-of-Check to
Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) bug since IFLA_NET_NS_PID is very dynamic. And
because of the lack of checking error pointer of the second call, it
also leads to a kernel crash as reported by syzbot.
Fix this by getting rid of the second call, which already becomes
redudant after Kuniyuki's work. We have to propagate the result of the
first rtnl_link_get_net_ifla() down to each ->newlink().

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240424165646.1625690-2-dtatulea@nvidia.com/
The reverted patch interacts very badly with commit 2cc3aeb5ec ("skbuff:

commit hopes that the pp_recycle + is_pp_page variables do not change
between the skb_frag_ref and skb_frag_unref operation. If such a change
occurs, the skb_frag_ref/unref will not operate on the same reference type.
In the case of Dragos's report, the grabbed ref was a pp ref, but the unref
was a page ref, because the pp_recycle setting on the skb was changed.
Attempting to fix this issue on the fly is risky. Lets revert and I hope
to reland this with better understanding and testing to ensure we don't

Improve __skb_frag_ref() to become a mirror counterpart of

while the ref could only handle non-pp pages. Now both the ref & unref

Now that __skb_frag_ref() can handle both pp & non-pp pages, remove
skb_pp_frag_ref(), and use __skb_frag_ref() instead. This lets us
remove pp specific handling from skb_try_coalesce.
Additionally, since __skb_frag_ref() can now handle both pp & non-pp

this function would do a non-pp ref & pp unref on potential pp frags
(fragfrom). After this patch, skb_shift() should correctly do a pp

Commit d3256efd8e ("veth: allow enabling NAPI even without XDP") tried to fix
the fact that GRO was not possible without XDP, because veth did not use NAPI
without XDP. However, it also introduced the behaviour that GRO is always
enabled, when XDP is enabled.
While it might be desired for most cases, it is confusing for the user at best
as the GRO flag suddenly changes, when an XDP program is attached. It also
introduces some complexities in state management as was partially addressed in
commit fe9f801355 ("net: veth: clear GRO when clearing XDP even when down").
But the biggest problem is that it is not possible to disable GRO at all, when
an XDP program is attached, which might be needed for some use cases.
Fix this by not touching the GRO flag on XDP enable/disable as the code already
supports switching to NAPI if either GRO or XDP is requested.

veth sets NETIF_F_GRO automatically when XDP is enabled,
because both features use the same NAPI machinery.
The logic to clear NETIF_F_GRO sits in veth_disable_xdp() which
is called both on ndo_stop and when XDP is turned off.
To avoid the flag from being cleared when the device is brought
down, the clearing is skipped when IFF_UP is not set.
Bringing the device down should indeed not modify its features.
Unfortunately, this means that clearing is also skipped when
XDP is disabled _while_ the device is down. And there's nothing
on the open path to bring the device features back into sync.
IOW if user enables XDP, disables it and then brings the device
up we'll end up with a stray GRO flag set but no NAPI instances.
We don't depend on the GRO flag on the datapath, so the datapath
won't crash. We will crash (or hang), however, next time features
are sync'ed (either by user via ethtool or peer changing its config).
The GRO flag will go away, and veth will try to disable the NAPIs.
But the open path never created them since XDP was off, the GRO flag
was a stray. If NAPI was initialized before we'll hang in napi_disable().
If it never was we'll crash trying to stop uninitialized hrtimer.
Move the GRO flag updates to the XDP enable / disable paths,
instead of mixing them with the ndo_open / ndo_close paths.

Alexei Starovoitov says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2023-12-18
This PR is larger than usual and contains changes in various parts
of the kernel.
The main changes are:
1) Fix kCFI bugs in BPF, from Peter Zijlstra.
End result: all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel
and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF
to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
2) Introduce BPF token object, from Andrii Nakryiko.
It adds an ability to delegate a subset of BPF features from privileged
daemon (e.g., systemd) through special mount options for userns-bound
BPF FS to a trusted unprivileged application. The design accommodates
suggestions from Christian Brauner and Paul Moore.
Example:
$ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token
$ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \
-o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \
-o delegate_progs=kprobe \
-o delegate_attachs=xdp
3) Various verifier improvements and fixes, from Andrii Nakryiko, Andrei Matei.
- Complete precision tracking support for register spills
- Fix verification of possibly-zero-sized stack accesses
- Fix access to uninit stack slots
- Track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
It improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
digit to 50-60% for some programs.
- Fix verifier retval logic
4) Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints, from Larysa Zaremba.
5) Allocate BPF trampoline via bpf_prog_pack mechanism, from Song Liu.
End result: better memory utilization and lower I$ miss for calls to BPF
via BPF trampoline.
6) Fix race between BPF prog accessing inner map and parallel delete,
from Hou Tao.
7) Add bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() kfunc, from Daniel Xu.
It allows BPF interact with IPSEC infra. The intent is to support
software RSS (via XDP) for the upcoming ipsec pcpu work.
Experiments on AWS demonstrate single tunnel pcpu ipsec reaching
line rate on 100G ENA nics.
8) Expand bpf_cgrp_storage to support cgroup1 non-attach, from Yafang Shao.
9) BPF file verification via fsverity, from Song Liu.
It allows BPF progs get fsverity digest.

Currently veth devices use the lstats per-CPU traffic counters, which only
cover TX traffic. veth_get_stats64() actually populates RX stats of a veth
device from its peer's TX counters, based on the assumption that a veth
device can _only_ receive packets from its peer, which is no longer true:
For example, recent CNIs (like Cilium) can use the bpf_redirect_peer() BPF
helper to redirect traffic from NIC's tc ingress to veth's tc ingress (in
a different netns), skipping veth's peer device. Unfortunately, this kind
of traffic isn't currently accounted for in veth's RX stats.
In preparation for the fix, use tstats (instead of lstats) to maintain
both RX and TX counters for each veth device. We'll use RX counters for
bpf_redirect_peer() traffic, and keep using TX counters for the usual
"peer-to-peer" traffic. In veth_get_stats64(), calculate RX stats by
_adding_ RX count to peer's TX count, in order to cover both kinds of
traffic.
veth_stats_rx() might need a name change (perhaps to "veth_stats_xdp()")
for less confusion, but let's leave it to another patch to keep the fix
minimal.

There's an early return in veth_set_features() if the device is in a down
state, which leads to the XDP feature flags not being updated when enabling
GRO while the device is down. Which in turn leads to XDP_REDIRECT not
working, because the redirect code now checks the flags.
Fix this by updating the feature flags after bringing the device up.
Before this patch:
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_BASIC: yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_REDIRECT: yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_NDO_XMIT: no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_XSK_ZEROCOPY: no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_HW_OFFLOAD: no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_RX_SG: yes

After this patch:

When an skb fails to be forwarded to the peer(e.g., skb data buffer
length exceeds MTU), it will not be added to the peer's receive queue.
Therefore, we should schedule the peer's NAPI poll function only when
skb forwarding is successful to avoid unnecessary overhead.

The RSS hash type specifies what portion of packet data NIC hardware used
when calculating RSS hash value. The RSS types are focused on Internet
traffic protocols at OSI layers L3 and L4. L2 (e.g. ARP) often get hash
value zero and no RSS type. For L3 focused on IPv4 vs. IPv6, and L4
primarily TCP vs UDP, but some hardware supports SCTP.
Hardware RSS types are differently encoded for each hardware NIC. Most
hardware represent RSS hash type as a number. Determining L3 vs L4 often
requires a mapping table as there often isn't a pattern or sorting
according to ISO layer.
The patch introduce a XDP RSS hash type (enum xdp_rss_hash_type) that
contains both BITs for the L3/L4 types, and combinations to be used by
drivers for their mapping tables. The enum xdp_rss_type_bits get exposed
to BPF via BTF, and it is up to the BPF-programmer to match using these
defines.
This proposal change the kfunc API bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() adding
a pointer value argument for provide the RSS hash type.
Change signature for all xmo_rx_hash calls in drivers to make it compile.
The RSS type implementations for each driver comes as separate patches.

When driver doesn't implement a bpf_xdp_metadata kfunc the fallback
implementation returns EOPNOTSUPP, which indicate device driver doesn't
implement this kfunc.
Currently many drivers also return EOPNOTSUPP when the hint isn't
available, which is ambiguous from an API point of view. Instead
change drivers to return ENODATA in these cases.
There can be natural cases why a driver doesn't provide any hardware
info for a specific hint, even on a frame to frame basis (e.g. PTP).
Lets keep these cases as separate return codes.
When describing the return values, adjust the function kernel-doc layout
to get proper rendering for the return values.

A summary of the flags being set for various drivers is given below.
Note that XDP_F_REDIRECT_TARGET and XDP_F_FRAG_TARGET are features
that can be turned off and on at runtime. This means that these flags
may be set and unset under RTNL lock protection by the driver. Hence,
READ_ONCE must be used by code loading the flag value.
Also, these flags are not used for synchronization against the availability
of XDP resources on a device. It is merely a hint, and hence the read
may race with the actual teardown of XDP resources on the device. This
may change in the future, e.g. operations taking a reference on the XDP
resources of the driver, and in turn inhibiting turning off this flag.
However, for now, it can only be used as a hint to check whether device
supports becoming a redirection target.
