[PATCH RESEND net-next v14 0/5] ethtool: provide the dim profile fine-tuning channel

[Heng Qi]

The NetDIM library provides excellent acceleration for many modern
network cards. However, the default profiles of DIM limits its maximum
capabilities for different NICs, so providing a way which the NIC can
be custom configured is necessary.

Currently, the way is based on the commonly used "ethtool -C".

Please review, thank you very much!

[PATCH RESEND net-next v14 2/5] dim: make DIMLIB dependent on NET

[Heng Qi]

DIMLIB's capabilities are supplied by the dim, net_dim, and
rdma_dim objects, and dim's interfaces solely act as a base for
net_dim and rdma_dim and are not explicitly used anywhere else.
rdma_dim is utilized by the infiniband driver, while net_dim
is for network devices, excluding the soc/fsl driver.

In this patch, net_dim relies on some NET's interfaces, thus
DIMLIB needs to explicitly depend on the NET Kconfig.

The soc/fsl driver uses the functions provided by net_dim, so
it also needs to depend on NET.

[PATCH RESEND net-next v14 3/5] ethtool: provide customized dim profile management

[Heng Qi]

The NetDIM library, currently leveraged by an array of NICs, delivers
excellent acceleration benefits. Nevertheless, NICs vary significantly
in their dim profile list prerequisites.

Specifically, virtio-net backends may present diverse sw or hw device
implementation, making a one-size-fits-all parameter list impractical.
On Alibaba Cloud, the virtio DPU's performance under the default DIM
profile falls short of expectations, partly due to a mismatch in
parameter configuration.

I also noticed that ice/idpf/ena and other NICs have customized
profilelist or placed some restrictions on dim capabilities.

Motivated by this, I tried adding new params for "ethtool -C" that provides
a per-device control to modify and access a device's interrupt parameters.

Usage
========
The target NIC is named ethx.

Assume that ethx only declares support for rx profile setting
(with DIM_PROFILE_RX flag set in profile_flags) and supports modification
of usec and pkt fields.

1. Query the currently customized list of the device

$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec =   1, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   8, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =  64, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 128, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile:   n/a

2. Tune
$ ethtool -C ethx rx-profile 1,1,n_2,n,n_3,3,n_4,4,n_n,5,n
"n" means do not modify this field.
$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec =   1, .pkts =   1, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   2, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   3, .pkts =   3, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   4, .pkts =   4, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts =   5, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile:   n/a

3. Hint
If the device does not support some type of customized dim profiles,
the corresponding "n/a" will display.

If the "n/a" field is being modified, -EOPNOTSUPP will be reported.

+Tuning DIM
+==========
+
+Net DIM serves a range of network devices and delivers excellent acceleration
+benefits. Yet, it has been observed that some preset configurations of DIM may
+not align seamlessly with the varying specifications of network devices, and
+this discrepancy has been identified as a factor to the suboptimal performance
+outcomes of DIM-enabled network devices, related to a mismatch in profiles.
+
+To address this issue, Net DIM introduces a per-device control to modify and
+access a device's ``rx-profile`` and ``tx-profile`` parameters:
+Assume that the target network device is named ethx, and ethx only declares
+support for RX profile setting and supports modification of ``usec`` field
+and ``pkts`` field (See the data structure:
+:c:type:`struct dim_cq_moder <dim_cq_moder>`).
+
+You can use ethtool to modify the current RX DIM profile where all
+values are 64::
+
+    $ ethtool -C ethx rx-profile 1,1,n_2,2,n_3,n,n_n,4,n_n,n,n
+
+``n`` means do not modify this field, and ``_`` separates structure
+elements of the profile array.
+
+Querying the current profiles using::
+
+    $ ethtool -c ethx
+    ...
+    rx-profile:
+    {.usec =   1, .pkts =   1, .comps = n/a,},
+    {.usec =   2, .pkts =   2, .comps = n/a,},
+    {.usec =   3, .pkts =  64, .comps = n/a,},
+    {.usec =  64, .pkts =   4, .comps = n/a,},
+    {.usec =  64, .pkts =  64, .comps = n/a,}
+    tx-profile:   n/a
+
+If the network device does not support specific fields of DIM profiles,
+the corresponding ``n/a`` will display. If the ``n/a`` field is being
+modified, error messages will be reported.

[PATCH RESEND net-next v14 5/5] virtio-net: support dim profile fine-tuning

[Heng Qi]

Virtio-net has different types of back-end device implementations.
In order to effectively optimize the dim library's gains for different
device implementations, let's use the new interface params to
initialize and query dim results from a customized profile list.

One last thing - you're missing updating the &mod bit.
When any of the settings were change mod should be set
to true so that we send a notification to user space,
that the settings have been modified.

Could you give an example in the cover letter of a type of workload and
how much a new set of DIM values helped?

Maybe add a short line in the section for COALESCE_GET linking to dim?
Something like:

``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_PROFILE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_PROFILE``
refer to DIM parameters, see ... <- add ReST link to net_dim.rst here.

Oh, I didn't modify the mod bit in the past because the profile list
modification does not require the dual_change behavior, ignoring the
passing of ret = 0/1. Will modify.
