hv_netvsc: untangle the pointer mess We have the following structures keeping netvsc adapter state: - struct net_device - struct net_device_context - struct netvsc_device - struct rndis_device - struct hv_device and there are pointers/dependencies between them: - struct net_device_context is contained in struct net_device - struct hv_device has driver_data pointer which points to 'struct net_device' OR 'struct netvsc_device' depending on driver's state (!). - struct net_device_context has a pointer to 'struct hv_device'. - struct netvsc_device has pointers to 'struct hv_device' and 'struct net_device_context'. - struct rndis_device has a pointer to 'struct netvsc_device'. Different functions get different structures as parameters and use these pointers for traveling. The problem is (in addition to keeping in mind this complex graph) that some of these structures (struct netvsc_device and struct rndis_device) are being removed and re-created on mtu change (as we implement it as re-creation of hyper-v device) so our travel using these pointers is dangerous. Simplify this to a the following: - add struct netvsc_device pointer to struct net_device_context (which is a part of struct net_device and thus never disappears) - remove struct hv_device and struct net_device_context pointers from struct netvsc_device - replace pointer to 'struct netvsc_device' with pointer to 'struct net_device'. - always keep 'struct net_device' in hv_device driver_data. We'll end up with the following 'circular' structure: net_device: [net_device_context] -> netvsc_device -> rndis_device -> net_device -> hv_device -> net_device On MTU change we'll be removing the 'netvsc_device -> rndis_device' branch and re-creating it making the synchronization easier. There is one additional redundant pointer left, it is struct net_device link in struct netvsc_device, it is going to be removed in a separate commit.

net: netvsc: Update default VMBus channels Change VMBus channels macro (VRSS_CHANNEL_DEFAULT) in Linux netvsc from 8 to 16 to align with Azure Windows VM and improve networking throughput. For VMs having less than 16 vCPUS, the channels depend on number of vCPUs. For greater than 16 vCPUs, set the channels to maximum of VRSS_CHANNEL_DEFAULT and number of physical cores / 2 which is returned by netif_get_num_default_rss_queues() as a way to optimize CPU resource utilization and scale for high-end processors with many cores. Maximum number of channels are by default set to 64. Based on this change the channel creation would change as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------- | No. of vCPU | dev_info->num_chn | channels created | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | 1-16 | 16 | vCPU | | >16 | max(16,#cores/2) | min(64 , max(16,#cores/2)) | ----------------------------------------------------------------- Performance tests showed significant improvement in throughput: - 0.54% for 16 vCPUs - 0.83% for 32 vCPUs - 0.86% for 48 vCPUs - 9.72% for 64 vCPUs - 13.57% for 96 vCPUs Signed-off-by: Erni Sri Satya Vennela <ernis@linux.microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Shradha Gupta <shradhagupta@linux.microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@outlook.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/1724735791-22815-1-git-send-email-ernis@linux.microsoft.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

hv_netvsc: add support for vlans in AF_PACKET mode Vlan tagged packets are getting dropped when used with DPDK that uses the AF_PACKET interface on a hyperV guest. The packet layer uses the tpacket interface to communicate the vlans information to the upper layers. On Rx path, these drivers can read the vlan info from the tpacket header but on the Tx path, this information is still within the packet frame and requires the paravirtual drivers to push this back into the NDIS header which is then used by the host OS to form the packet. This transition from the packet frame to NDIS header is currently missing hence causing the host OS to drop the all vlan tagged packets sent by the drivers that use AF_PACKET (ETH_P_ALL) such as DPDK. Here is an overview of the changes in the vlan header in the packet path: The RX path (userspace handles everything): 1. RX VLAN packet is stripped by HOST OS and placed in NDIS header 2. Guest Kernel RX hv_netvsc packets and moves VLAN info from NDIS header into kernel SKB 3. Kernel shares packets with user space application with PACKET_MMAP. The SKB VLAN info is copied to tpacket layer and indication set TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID. 4. The user space application will re-insert the VLAN info into the frame The TX path: 1. The user space application has the VLAN info in the frame. 2. Guest kernel gets packets from the application with PACKET_MMAP. 3. The kernel later sends the frame to the hv_netvsc driver. The only way to send VLANs is when the SKB is setup & the VLAN is stripped from the frame. 4. TX VLAN is re-inserted by HOST OS based on the NDIS header. If it sees a VLAN in the frame the packet is dropped.
