Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/9] xsk: introduce XDP_GENERIC_XMIT_BATCH setsockopt
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 21:53:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250825135342.53110-2-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250825135342.53110-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com>

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

Add a new socket option to provide an alternative to achieve a higher
overall throughput with the rest of series applied.

Init skb_cache and desc_batch when setting setsockopt with xs->mutex
protection.

skb_cache will be used to store newly allocated skb at one time in the
xmit path. desc_batch will be used to temporarily store descriptors of
pool.

+XDP_GENERIC_XMIT_BATCH
+----------------------
+
+It provides an option that allows application to use batch xmit in the copy
+mode. Batch process tries to allocate a certain number skbs through bulk
+mechanism first and then send them out at one time, minimizing the number
+of grabbing/releasing a few locks (like cache lock and queue lock).
+it normally gains the overall performance improvement as observed by
+xdpsock benchmark, whereas it might increase the latency of per packet.
+The maximum value shouldn't be larger than xs->max_tx_budget.
