net: ethtool: add support for symmetric-xor RSS hash Symmetric RSS hash functions are beneficial in applications that monitor both Tx and Rx packets of the same flow (IDS, software firewalls, ..etc). Getting all traffic of the same flow on the same RX queue results in higher CPU cache efficiency. A NIC that supports "symmetric-xor" can achieve this RSS hash symmetry by XORing the source and destination fields and pass the values to the RSS hash algorithm. The user may request RSS hash symmetry for a specific algorithm, via: # ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg> symmetric-xor or turn symmetry off (asymmetric) by: # ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg> The specific fields for each flow type should then be specified as usual via: # ethtool -N|-U eth0 rx-flow-hash <flow_type> s|d|f|n Reviewed-by: Wojciech Drewek <wojciech.drewek@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ahmed Zaki <ahmed.zaki@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231213003321.605376-4-ahmed.zaki@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

net: move aRFS rmap management and CPU affinity to core A common task for most drivers is to remember the user-set CPU affinity to its IRQs. On each netdev reset, the driver should re-assign the user's settings to the IRQs. Unify this task across all drivers by moving the CPU affinity to napi->config. However, to move the CPU affinity to core, we also need to move aRFS rmap management since aRFS uses its own IRQ notifiers. For the aRFS, add a new netdev flag "rx_cpu_rmap_auto". Drivers supporting aRFS should set the flag via netif_enable_cpu_rmap() and core will allocate and manage the aRFS rmaps. Freeing the rmap is also done by core when the netdev is freed. For better IRQ affinity management, move the IRQ rmap notifier inside the napi_struct and add new notify.notify and notify.release functions: netif_irq_cpu_rmap_notify() and netif_napi_affinity_release(). Now we have the aRFS rmap management in core, add CPU affinity mask to napi_config. To delegate the CPU affinity management to the core, drivers must: 1 - set the new netdev flag "irq_affinity_auto": netif_enable_irq_affinity(netdev) 2 - create the napi with persistent config: netif_napi_add_config() 3 - bind an IRQ to the napi instance: netif_napi_set_irq() the core will then make sure to use re-assign affinity to the napi's IRQ. The default IRQ mask is set to one cpu starting from the closest NUMA.

docs: networking: update XPS to account for netif_set_xps_queue With the introduction of netif_set_xps_queue, XPS can be enabled by the driver at initialization. Update the documentation to reflect this, as otherwise users may incorrectly believe that the feature is off by default. Fixes: 537c00de1c9b ("net: Add functions netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue") Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

net: Add max rate tx queue attribute This adds a tx_maxrate attribute to the tx queue sysfs entry allowing for max-rate limiting. Along with DCB-ETS and BQL this provides another knob to tune queue performance. The limit units are Mbps. By default it is disabled. To disable the rate limitation after it has been set for a queue, it should be set to zero.
