[PATCH net-next v6 5/6] net: gro: move L3 flush checks to tcp_gro_receive and udp_gro_receive_segment

From: Richard Gobert
Date: Wed Apr 10 2024 - 11:37:44 EST


{inet,ipv6}_gro_receive functions perform flush checks (ttl, flags,
iph->id, ...) against all packets in a loop. These flush checks are used
currently only in tcp flows in GRO.

These checks need to be done only once in tcp_gro_receive and only against
the found p skb, since they only affect flush and not same_flow.

Leveraging the previous commit in the series, in which correct network
header offsets are saved for both outer and inner network headers -
allowing these checks to be done only once, in tcp_gro_receive. As a
result, NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->flush is not used at all. In addition, flush_id
checks are more declarative and contained in inet_gro_flush, thus removing
the need for flush_id in napi_gro_cb.

This results in less parsing code for UDP flows and non-loop flush tests
for TCP flows.

To make sure results are not within noise range - I've made netfilter drop
all TCP packets, and measured CPU performance in GRO (in this case GRO is
responsible for about 50% of the CPU utilization). gro_network_flush is
compiled inline to tcp_gro_receive.

perf top while replaying 64 parallel IP/TCP streams merging in GRO
net-next:
6.94% [kernel] [k] inet_gro_receive
3.02% [kernel] [k] tcp_gro_receive

patch applied:
4.27% [kernel] [k] tcp_gro_receive
4.22% [kernel] [k] inet_gro_receive

perf top while replaying 64 parallel IP/IP/TCP streams merging in GRO (same
results for any encapsulation, in this case inet_gro_receive is top
offender in net-next)
net-next:
10.09% [kernel] [k] inet_gro_receive
2.08% [kernel] [k] tcp_gro_receive

patch applied:
6.97% [kernel] [k] inet_gro_receive
3.68% [kernel] [k] tcp_gro_receive

perf top -g while running 64 IP/UDP netperf connections NOT merging in GRO
(udp_gro_receive is included because of -g, in this case GRO is just
overhead)
net-next:
1.26% [kernel] [k] inet_gro_receive

patch applied:
0.85% [kernel] [k] inet_gro_receive
