2019-11-10xsk: Extend documentation for Rx|Tx-only sockets and shared umemsMagnus Karlsson1-5/+23
Add more documentation about the new Rx-only and Tx-only sockets in libbpf and also how libbpf can now support shared umems. Also found two pieces that could be improved in the text, that got fixed in this commit.

2019-10-23xsk: Improve documentation for AF_XDPMagnus Karlsson1-28/+231
Added sections on all the bind flags, libbpf, all the setsockopts and all the getsockopts. Also updated the document to reflect the latest features and to correct some spelling errors. v1 -> v2: * Updated XDP program with latest BTF map format * Added one more FAQ entry * Some minor edits and corrections v2 -> v3: * Simplified XDP_SHARED_UMEM example XDP program Signed-off-by: Magnus Karlsson <magnus.karlsson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1571648224-16889-1-git-send-email-magnus.karlsson@intel.com
2019-08-31doc/af_xdp: include unaligned chunk caseKevin Laatz1-4/+6
The addition of unaligned chunks mode, the documentation needs to be updated to indicate that the incoming addr to the fill ring will only be masked if the user application is run in the aligned chunk mode. This patch also adds a line to explicitly indicate that the incoming addr will not be masked if running the user application in the unaligned chunk mode.

2018-06-04xsk: new descriptor addressing schemeBjörn Töpel1-43/+58
Currently, AF_XDP only supports a fixed frame-size memory scheme where each frame is referenced via an index (idx). A user passes the frame index to the kernel, and the kernel acts upon the data. Some NICs, however, do not have a fixed frame-size model, instead they have a model where a memory window is passed to the hardware and multiple frames are filled into that window (referred to as the "type-writer" model). By changing the descriptor format from the current frame index addressing scheme, AF_XDP can in the future be extended to support these kinds of NICs. In the index-based model, an idx refers to a frame of size frame_size. Addressing a frame in the UMEM is done by offseting the UMEM starting address by a global offset, idx * frame_size + offset. Communicating via the fill- and completion-rings are done by means of idx. In this commit, the idx is removed in favor of an address (addr), which is a relative address ranging over the UMEM. To convert an idx-based address to the new addr is simply: addr = idx * frame_size + offset. We also stop referring to the UMEM "frame" as a frame. Instead it is simply called a chunk. To transfer ownership of a chunk to the kernel, the addr of the chunk is passed in the fill-ring. Note, that the kernel will mask addr to make it chunk aligned, so there is no need for userspace to do that. E.g., for a chunk size of 2k, passing an addr of 2048, 2050 or 3000 to the fill-ring will refer to the same chunk. On the completion-ring, the addr will match that of the Tx descriptor, passed to the kernel. Changing the descriptor format to use chunks/addr will allow for future changes to move to a type-writer based model, where multiple frames can reside in one chunk. In this model passing one single chunk into the fill-ring, would potentially result in multiple Rx descriptors. This commit changes the uapi of AF_XDP sockets, and updates the documentation.

2018-05-03samples/bpf: sample application and documentation for AF_XDP socketsMagnus Karlsson1-0/+297
This is a sample application for AF_XDP sockets. The application supports three different modes of operation: rxdrop, txonly and l2fwd. To show-case a simple round-robin load-balancing between a set of sockets in an xskmap, set the RR_LB compile time define option to 1 in "xdpsock.h". v2: The entries variable was calculated twice in {umem,xq}_nb_avail.
