[PATCH RFC v2] ipvs: add genetlink cmd to dump all services and destinations

From: Cezar Sa Espinola
Date: Fri Nov 06 2020 - 10:41:16 EST


A common operation for userspace applications managing ipvs is to dump all
services and all destinations and then sort out what needs to be done.
Previously this could only be accomplished by issuing 1 netlink
IPVS_CMD_GET_SERVICE dump command followed by N IPVS_CMD_GET_DEST dump
commands. For a dynamic system with a very large number of services this
could be cause a performance impact.

This patch introduces a new way of dumping all services and destinations
with the new IPVS_CMD_GET_SERVICE_DEST command. A dump call for this
command will send the services as IPVS_CMD_NEW_SERVICE messages each
containing a nested array of destinations with the new IPVS_SVC_ATTR_DESTS
and IPVS_DESTS_ATTR_DEST attributes. Services may be repeated if their
destinations do not fit in a single packet, user space should be
responsible for merging the destinations from each repeated service.

It's also possible to dump a single service and its destinations by sending
a IPVS_CMD_ATTR_SERVICE argument to the dump command.

Changes in v2:
- Send destinations nested in a service.

This patch should be safer now as every packet starts with a service
message. Also Julian's idea of adding more coordinates for tab and row
showed a nice performance improvement. I think the same idea could also
be applied to the existing ip_vs_genl_dump_services, I can send a patch
for it later.

I also verified that each packet can fit somewhere around 50
destinations on my system. So I was able to verify that it works as
expected even when services are repeated including the additional
destinations.

As before a patched ipvsadm for the message format in this commit is
available in [1] and benchmarks in [2] were executed comparing runtime
of "ipvsadm -Sn" using the new command vs the old command. Here are the
benchmark summary:

tcp svcs | fw svcs | dsts | run time
--------- | ------- | ---- | --------
1000 | 0 | 4 | -62.12%
2000 | 0 | 2 | -72.97%
8000 | 0 | 2 | -73.47%
16000 | 0 | 1 | -81.79%
100 | 0 | 100 | -9.09%
8000 | 8000 | 1 | -81.10%
