samples/bpf: add cpumap sample program xdp_redirect_cpu
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This sample program show how to use cpumap and the associated
tracepoints.

It provides command line stats, which shows how the XDP-RX process,
cpumap-enqueue and cpumap kthread dequeue is cooperating on a per CPU
basis.  It also utilize the xdp_exception and xdp_redirect_err
transpoints to allow users quickly to identify setup issues.

One issue with ixgbe driver is that the driver reset the link when
loading XDP.  This reset the procfs smp_affinity settings.  Thus,
after loading the program, these must be reconfigured.  The easiest
workaround it to reduce the RX-queue to e.g. two via:

 # ethtool --set-channels ixgbe1 combined 2

And then add CPUs above 0 and 1, like:

 # xdp_redirect_cpu --dev ixgbe1 --prog 2 --cpu 2 --cpu 3 --cpu 4

Another issue with ixgbe is that the page recycle mechanism is tied to
the RX-ring size.  And the default setting of 512 elements is too
small.  This is the same issue with regular devmap XDP_REDIRECT.
To overcome this I've been using 1024 rx-ring size:

 # ethtool -G ixgbe1 rx 1024 tx 1024

V3:
 - whitespace cleanups
 - bpf tracepoint cannot access top part of struct

V4:
 - report on kthread sched events, according to tracepoint change
 - report average bulk enqueue size

V5:
 - bpf_map_lookup_elem on cpumap not allowed from bpf_prog
   use separate map to mark CPUs not available

V6:
 - correct kthread sched summary output

V7:
 - Added a --stress-mode for concurrently changing underlying cpumap
