From: Jason Xing <[email protected]>
Recently I encountered one case where I cannot increase the MTU size
directly from 1500 to a much bigger value with XDP enabled if the
server is equipped with IXGBE card, which happened on thousands of
servers in production environment. After appling the current patch,
we can set the maximum MTU size to 3K.
This patch follows the behavior of changing MTU as i40e/ice does.

This is based on the broken premise that w/ XDP we are using a 4K page.
The ixgbe driver isn't using page pool and is therefore running on
different limitations. The ixgbe driver is only using 2K slices of the
4K page. In addition that is reduced to 1.5K to allow for headroom and
the shared info in the buffer.
Currently the only way a 3K buffer would work is if FCoE is enabled and
in that case the driver is using order 1 pages and still using the
split buffer approach.
Changing the MTU to more than 1.5K will allow multi-buffer frames which
would break things when you try to use XDP_REDIRECT or XDP_TX on frames
over 1.5K in size. For things like XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP, and XDP_ABORT it
should still work as long as you don't attempt to reach beyond the 1.5K
boundary.
Until this driver supports XDP multi-buffer I don't think you can
increase the MTU past 1.5K. If you are wanting a larger MTU you should
look at enabling XDP multi-buffer and then just drop the XDP
limitations entirely.

There is no difference in the buffer allocation approach for LEGACY vs
non-legacy. The difference is if we are building the frame around the
buffer using build_skb or we are adding it as a frag and then copying
out the header.

Hey Alex, interesting, we based this on the following logic from
ixgbe_set_rx_buffer_len() I guess:
#if (PAGE_SIZE < 8192)
if (adapter->flags2 & IXGBE_FLAG2_RSC_ENABLED)
set_bit(__IXGBE_RX_3K_BUFFER, &rx_ring->state);
if (IXGBE_2K_TOO_SMALL_WITH_PADDING ||
(max_frame > (ETH_FRAME_LEN + ETH_FCS_LEN)))
set_bit(__IXGBE_RX_3K_BUFFER, &rx_ring->state);
#endif
so we assumed that ixgbe is no different than i40e/ice in these terms, but
we ignored whole overhead of LRO/RSC that ixgbe carries.
I am not actively working with ixgbe but I know that you were the main dev
of it, so without premature dive into the datasheet and codebase, are you
really sure that 3k mtu for XDP is a no go?

If XDP is already enabled the LRO/RSC cannot be enabled. I think that
is already disabled if we have XDP enabled.

I think I mixed up fm10k and ixgbe, either that or I was thinking of
the legacy setup. They all kind of blur together as I had worked on
pretty much all the Intel drivers up to i40e the last time I was
updating them for all the Rx path stuff. :)
So if I am reading things right the issue is that if XDP is enabled you
cannot set a 3K MTU, but if you set the 3K MTU first then you can
enable XDP after the fact right?
Looking it over again after re-reading the code this looks good to me.

Yes and vice versa - when XDP is on then you should be able to work with
3k mtus.

>Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v4 1/3] ixgbe: allow to increase MTU to
>3K with XDP enabled
>
>From: Jason Xing <[email protected]>
>
>Recently I encountered one case where I cannot increase the MTU size
>directly from 1500 to a much bigger value with XDP enabled if the server is
>equipped with IXGBE card, which happened on thousands of servers in
>production environment. After appling the current patch, we can set the
>maximum MTU size to 3K.
>
>This patch follows the behavior of changing MTU as i40e/ice does.
