"private" of buffer page is currently used for big mode to chain pages.
But in mergeable mode, that offset of page could mean something else,
e.g. when page_pool page is used instead. So excluding mergeable mode to
avoid such a problem.

2.31.1
To further enhance performance, implement page pool fragmentation
support and introduce a module parameter to enable or disable it.
In single-core vm testing environments, there is an additional performance
gain observed in the normal path compared to the one packet per page
approach.
Upstream codebase: 47.5 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool: 50.2 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool fragmentation support: 52.3 Gbits/sec
There is also some performance gain for XDP cpumap.
Upstream codebase: 1.38 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool: 9.74 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool fragmentation: 10.3 Gbits/sec

2.31.1
The implementation at the moment uses one page per packet in both the
normal and XDP path. In addition, introducing a module parameter to enable
or disable the usage of page pool (disabled by default).
In single-core vm testing environments, it gives a modest performance gain
in the normal path.
Upstream codebase: 47.5 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase + page_pool support: 50.2 Gbits/sec
In multi-core vm testing environments, The most significant performance
gain is observed in XDP cpumap:
Upstream codebase: 1.38 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase + page_pool support: 9.74 Gbits/sec
With this foundation, we can further integrate page pool fragmentation and
DMA map/unmap support.

2.31.1
Currently, DMA operations of virtio devices' data buffer are encapsulated
within the underlying virtqueue implementation. DMA map/unmap operations
are performed for each data buffer attached to/detached from the virtqueue,
which is transparent and invisible to the higher-level virtio device
drivers. This encapsulation makes it not viable for device drivers to
introduce certain mechanisms, such as page pool, that require explicit
management of DMA map/unmap. Therefore, by inserting a pre-handler before
the generic DMA map/unmap operations, virtio device drivers have the
opportunity to participate in DMA operations.

2.31.1
Adding a DMA pre-handler that utilizes page pool for managing DMA mappings.
When IOMMU is enabled, turning on the page_pool_dma_map module parameter to
select page pool for DMA mapping management gives a significant reduction
in the overhead caused by DMA mappings.
In testing environments with a single core vm and qemu emulated IOMMU,
significant performance improvements can be observed:
Upstream codebase: 1.76 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool fragmentation support: 1.81 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool fragmentation and DMA support: 19.3
Gbits/sec

So Xuan is doing AF_XDP for the virtio-net that allows the DMA to be
mapped at least by the virtio-net.
It looks like a way to allow virtio-net to map and unmap the DMA
buffer by itself, but this patch goes into another way which seems to
query the address from the virtio core.
Personally, I think map and sync by the virtio-net driver seems clean.
But we can see.
Thanks

If this issue happens only in the case of page_pool, it would be
better to squash it there.

So it's not a map, it is just a query from the dma address from the pool.

This would be somehow slow. If we track the mapping by driver, it
would be much faster.

It's better to explain why we need a page pool and how it can help the

If page pool wins for most of the cases, any reason to disable it by default?

Please show more details on the test. E.g which kinds of tests have
you measured?
Btw, it would be better to measure PPS as well.

I believe we should make virtio-net to select CONFIG_PAGE_POOL or do

Why not simply use a helper like virtnet_page_frag_refill() and add
the page_pool allocation logic there? It helps to reduce the
changeset.

The 'unsigned int *pp_frag_offset' seems to be unaligned.

Please use reverse christmas tree notation here. The pp_frag_offset_val
needs to be declared before page;

Don't you need to check if pp_frag_offset is null? As you call once with
NULL.

You have also here some misalignment with regards to page_frag_offset.

Big mode uses the page chain to recycle pages, thus the using of
"private" of the buffer page. I will take further look into that to
see if it is better to use page pool in these cases. Thanks!

Thanks for the information. I agree with your suggestion, and I will

At the moment, page_pool is enabled only for mergeable mode, and the
path leading to a call with NULL pp_frag_offset is from small mode.
But I will evaluate again whether it is beneficial to support
page_pool for small mode on v2. Thanks.

Ugh the subject makes it looks like current code has a problem
but I don't think so because I don't think anything besides
big packets uses page->private.
The reason patch is needed is because follow up patches
use page_pool.
pls adjust commit log and subject to make all this clear.

To be safe let's limit to big packets too:

Why off by default?
I am guessing it sometimes has performance costs too?
What happens if we use page pool for big mode too?
The less modes we have the better...

This is a tiny patch so I don't care. Generally it's ok

in this case what Jason says os right especially because
you then do not need to explain that current code is ok.

I'd like to see more benchmarks pls then, with a variety of packet

Yeah, now I believe it makes sense to enable it by default to avoid

Thanks for the information and the work to make driver support easy. I

Yeah, as you pointed out page_pool_dev_alloc_frag will drain the page
itself, so does skb_page_frag_refill. This is trying to keep the logic
consistent with non page pool case where the hole was skipped and
included in buffer len.

Thanks for pointing this out! pool_size will be lowered to a more
appropriate value on v2.

small packets are rare? These workloads are easy to create actually.
Pls try and include benchmark with small packet size.

Before going ahead and posting v2 patch, I would like to hear more
advice for the cases of small packets. I have done more performance
benchmark with small packets since then. Here is a list of iperf
output,

The major factor contributing to the performance drop is the reduction
of skb coalescing. Additionally, without the page pool, small packets
can still benefit from the allocation of 8 continuous pages by
breaking them down into smaller pieces. This effectively reduces the
frequency of page allocation from the buddy system. For instance, the
arrival of 32 1K packets only triggers one alloc_page call. Therefore,
the benefits of using a page pool are limited in such cases. In fact,
without page pool fragmenting enabled, it can even hinder performance
from this perspective.
Upon further consideration, I tend to believe making page pool the
default option may not be appropriate. As you pointed out, we cannot
simply ignore the performance impact on small packets. Any comments on
this will be much appreciated.

Our UDP benchmark shows a steady 0.8 percent change in PPS
measurement. However, when conducting iperf TCP stream performance
testing, the results vary depending on the packet size and testing
setup. With small packet sizes, the performance actually drops
slightly due to the reasons I explained in the previous email. On the
other hand, with large packets, we need to ensure that the sender side
doesn't become the bottleneck. To achieve this, our setup uses a
single-core vm to keep the receiver busy, which allows us to identify
performance differences in the receiving path.

it might suffer from buffer bloat for TCP performance. Would you mind
to measure with e.g using testpmd on the vhost to see the rx PPS?

I wonder if we can improve page pool in this case anyhow.

No problem. Before we proceed to measure with testpmd, could you
please take a look at the PPS measurements we obtained previously and
see if they are sufficient? Though we will only utilize page pool for
xdp on v2.

We would like to make the effort to enhance skb coalecsing to be more
friendly with page pool buffers. But that involves modifications to
some core data structure of mm.

Just to give an update on the status of v2 progress. We have
identified the specific situation where skb coalescing is affected by
page pool and small packets. In summary, it was because, in our
environment (Fedora 37 default network setup), NetworkManager creates
a SOCK_DGRAM socket, which eventually results in skbs being cloned,
thus causing the failure of skb coalescing.
While it affects small packet performance in our environment, it
doesn't necessarily have the same impact for other users.
Nevertheless, we are trying to make an optimization to allow skb
coalescing in that situation. It may take some time as we are advised
to wait for some relevant prior patches to land first.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/[email protected]/)
In addition, if small packet performance is not dropping anymore,
perhaps we can enable page pool for the normal path as well.

I want to apply page_pool to our virtio_net. This virtio_net works on
our device.
I want to verify whether page_pool on virtio_net with our device can
improve the performance or not.
And I found that ethtool is wrong.
I use virtio_net on our device. I found that page member variable in rq
is not used in recv path.
When virtio_net is modprobe, I checked page member variable in rq with
kprobe or crash tool. page member variable in rq is always NULL.
But sg in recv path is used.
So how to use page member variable in rq? If page member variable in rq
is always NULL, can we remove it?
BTW, I use ping and iperf tool to make tests with virtio_net. In the
tests, page member variable in rq is always NULL.
It is interesting.

And I replaced page member variable in rq with page_pool, but the
statistics of page_pool are always 0.
It is interesting that page_pool member variable in rq is not used in
ping and iperf tests.
I am not sure what tests can make page member variable not NULL. ^_^

Do you mean rq->pages?
That is for big mode.

Hi, Xuan
Got it. What is big mode? Do you mean big packet size? I run iperf with
the packet size 2^23.
The rq->pages is still NULL.
It is interesting.

virtnet_get_page_pool_stats(dev, &data[idx]); should be moved to between

Combined with the correct page_pool_ethtool_stats_get_count, ethtool can
get page_pool statistics. But all the values about page_pool are zero.
It is interesting.
I will delve into this and find out why.
