From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@kernel.org>
Add a selftest that exercises veth's BQL (Byte Queue Limits) code path
under sustained UDP load. The test creates a veth pair with GRO enabled
(activating the NAPI path and BQL), attaches a qdisc, optionally loads
iptables rules in the consumer namespace to slow NAPI processing, and
floods UDP packets for a configurable duration.
The test serves two purposes: benchmarking BQL's latency impact under
configurable load (iptables rules, qdisc type and parameters), and
detecting kernel BUG/Oops from DQL accounting mismatches. It monitors
dmesg throughout the run and reports PASS/FAIL via kselftest (lib.sh).
Diagnostic output is printed every 5 seconds:
- BQL sysfs inflight/limit and watchdog tx_timeout counter
- qdisc stats: packets, drops, requeues, backlog, qlen, overlimits
- consumer PPS and NAPI-64 cycle time (shows fq_codel target impact)
- sink PPS (per-period delta), latency min/avg/max (stddev at exit)
- ping RTT to measure latency under load
Generating enough traffic to fill the 256-entry ptr_ring requires care:
the UDP sendto() path charges each SKB to sk_wmem_alloc, and the SKB
stays charged (via sock_wfree destructor) until the consumer NAPI thread
finishes processing it -- including any iptables rules in the receive
path. With the default sk_sndbuf (~208KB from wmem_default), only ~93
packets can be in-flight before sendto(MSG_DONTWAIT) returns EAGAIN.
Since 93 < 256 ring entries, the ring never fills and no backpressure
occurs. The test raises wmem_max via sysctl and sets SO_SNDBUF=1MB on
the flood socket to remove this bottleneck. An earlier multi-namespace
routing approach avoided this limit because ip_forward creates new SKBs
detached from the sender's socket.
The --bql-disable option (sets limit_min=1GB) enables A/B comparison.
Typical results with --nrules 6000 --qdisc-opts 'target 2ms interval 20ms':
fq_codel + BQL disabled: ping RTT ~10.8ms, 15% loss, 400KB in ptr_ring
fq_codel + BQL enabled: ping RTT ~0.6ms, 0% loss, 4KB in ptr_ring
Both cases show identical consumer speed (~20Kpps) and fq_codel drops
(~255K), proving the improvement comes purely from where packets buffer.
BQL moves buffering from the ptr_ring into the qdisc, where AQM
(fq_codel/CAKE) can act on it -- eliminating the "dark buffer" that
hides congestion from the scheduler.
The --qdisc-replace mode cycles through sfq/pfifo/fq_codel/noqueue
under active traffic to verify that stale BQL state (STACK_XOFF) is
properly handled during live qdisc transitions.
A companion wrapper (veth_bql_test_virtme.sh) launches the test inside
a virtme-ng VM, with .config validation to prevent silent stalls.
Usage:
sudo ./veth_bql_test.sh [--duration 300] [--nrules 100]
[--qdisc sfq] [--qdisc-opts '...']
[--bql-disable] [--normal-napi]
[--qdisc-replace]

+# Veth BQL (Byte Queue Limits) stress test and A/B benchmarking tool.
+#
+# Creates a veth pair with GRO on and TSO off (ensures all packets use
+# the NAPI/ptr_ring path where BQL operates), attaches a configurable
+# qdisc, optionally loads iptables rules to slow the consumer NAPI
+# processing, and floods UDP packets at maximum rate.
+#
+# Primary uses:
+# 1) A/B comparison of latency with/without BQL (--bql-disable flag)
+# 2) Testing different qdiscs and their parameters (--qdisc, --qdisc-opts)
+# 3) Detecting kernel BUG/Oops from DQL accounting mismatches
+#
+# Key design detail -- SO_SNDBUF and wmem_max:
+# The UDP sendto() path charges each SKB to the socket's sk_wmem_alloc
+# counter. The SKB carries a destructor (sock_wfree) that releases the
+# charge only after the consumer NAPI thread on the peer veth finishes
+# processing it -- including any iptables rules in the receive path.
+# With the default sk_sndbuf (~208KB from wmem_default), only ~93
+# packets (1442B each) can be in-flight before sendto() returns EAGAIN.
+# Since 93 < 256 ptr_ring entries, the ring never fills and no qdisc
+# backpressure occurs. The test temporarily raises the global wmem_max
+# sysctl and sets SO_SNDBUF=1MB to allow enough in-flight SKBs to
+# saturate the ptr_ring. The original wmem_max is restored on exit.
+#
+# Two TX-stop mechanisms and the dark-buffer problem:
+# DRV_XOFF backpressure (commit dc82a33297fc) stops the TX queue when
+# the 256-entry ptr_ring is full. The queue is released at the end of
+# veth_poll() (commit 5442a9da6978) after processing up to 64 packets
+# (NAPI budget). Without BQL, the entire ring is a FIFO "dark buffer"
+# in front of the qdisc -- packets there are invisible to AQM.
+#
+# BQL adds STACK_XOFF, which dynamically limits in-flight bytes and
+# stops the queue *before* the ring fills. This keeps the ring
+# shallow and moves buffering into the qdisc where sojourn-based AQM
+# (codel, fq_codel, CAKE/COBALT) can measure and drop packets.
+#
+# Sojourn time and NAPI budget interaction:
+# DRV_XOFF releases backpressure once per NAPI poll (up to 64 pkts).
+# During that cycle, packets queued in the qdisc accumulate sojourn
+# time. With fq_codel's default target of 5ms, the threshold is:
+# 5000us / 64 pkts = 78us/pkt --> ~12,800 pps consumer speed.
+# Below that rate the NAPI-64 cycle exceeds the target and fq_codel
+# starts dropping. Use --nrules and --qdisc-opts to experiment.
