2015-04-21ring: Make ifname paramter to ring_size() constTobias Klauser1-1/+1
ifname not changed inside the function, so make it const. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2014-08-15netsniff-ng: Conditionally define POLLRDNORM where it is usedTobias Klauser1-0/+4
Instead of defining POLLRDNORM in built_in.h if it isn't provided by system/kernel headers, define it in ring.h where its only user is. This way we make sure that <poll.h> is included before checking #ifndef POLLRDNORM. This fixes the following sparse warning: /usr/include/bits/poll.h:32:10: warning: preprocessor token POLLRDNORM redefined built_in.h:378:10: this was the original definition Also remove the defines for POLLWRNORM and POLLRDHUP which are not used anywhere in the code.

2014-08-14netsniff-ng: Protect all access to tpacket v3 structs and constants (this ↵Tobias Klauser1-0/+4
time for real) Commit 0fab564a98d1 ("netsniff-ng: Properly wrap usage of all tpacket v3 structs") took care of protecting _some_ tpacket v3 structures with compile error when building with !HAVE_TPACKET3 (reported by Mike Reeves): > CC ring_rx.c > ring_rx.c: In function 'setup_rx_ring_layout': > ring_rx.c:124: warning: implicit declaration of function 'set_sockopt_tpacket_v3' > ring_rx.c: In function 'sock_rx_net_stats': > ring_rx.c:194: error: field 'k3' has incomplete type > make: *** [netsniff-ng/ring_rx.o] Error 1 Many thanks to Mike for helping me sort out these problems.

2014-08-14netsniff-ng: Restore tpacket v2 capturingTobias Klauser1-2/+10
Some older systems (e.g. RHEL 6) don't have tpacket v3 available, but only tpacket v2. However, since commit d8cdc6a ("ring: netsniff-ng: migrate capture only to TPACKET_V3") we solely rely on tpacket v3 for capturing packets. This patch restores the possibility to capture using tpacket v2. For now this is just a fallback if the configure script doesn't detect tpacket v3 (and thus HAVE_TPACKET3 isn't set). Thus, on most modern systems this shouldn't change anything and they will continue using tpacket v3. For now this fix contains quite a bit of ugly #ifdefery which should be cleaned up in the future. Fixes #76 Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2014-04-30ring: Consistently use size_t to specify ring sizeTobias Klauser1-1/+1
The mm_len member of struct ring is of type size_t, but in the code paths leading to set it, unsigned int is used. In circumstances where unsigned int is 32 bit and size_t is 64 bit, this could lead to an integer overflow, which causes an improper ring size being mmap()'ed in mmap_ring_generic(). In order to prevent this, consistently use size_t to store the ring size, since this is also what mmap() takes as its `length' parameter. This now allows to specify ring sizes larger than 4 GiB for both netsniff-ng and trafgen (fixes #90).

2014-04-10poll: changed to include <poll.h> instead of <sys/poll.h>Christian Wiese1-1/+0
This is a very cosmetic change but I think it is good to be standards compliant. The standard defines <poll.h> and not <sys/poll.h>: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696799/basedefs/poll.h.html When building against musl libc it silences some annoying cpp warnings like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- warning: #warning redirecting incorrect #include <sys/poll.h> to <poll.h> [-Wcpp] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Christian Wiese <chris@opensde.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2014-02-24ring: Get rid of unnecessary wrapper for get_sockopt_tpacketTobias Klauser1-13/+8
get_sockopt_tpacket is never used in the "raw" version and the wrapper does no additional checking anyway, so get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2013-12-11trafgen: speedup TX only path by avoiding kernel packet_rcv() callJesper Dangaard Brouer1-1/+1
The tool trafgen is used in a pktgen style transmit only scenario. We discovered a performance bottleneck in the kernel, when running trafgen, where the kernel stalled on a lock in packet_rcv(). This call is unnecessary for trafgen given its transmit only nature. This packet_rcv() call can, easily be avoided by instructing the RAW/PF_PACKET socket, to not listen to any protocols (by passing protocol argument zero, when creating the socket). The performance gain is huge, increasing performance from approx max 2Mpps to 12Mpps, basically causing trafgen to scale with the number of CPUs. Following tests were run on a 2xCPU E5-2650 with Intel 10Gbit/s ixgbe: Trafgen using sendto() syscall via parameter -t0: * # CPUs -- *with* -- *without* packet_rcv() call * 1 CPU == 1,232,244 -- 1,236,144 pkts/sec * 2 CPUs == 1,592,720 -- 2,593,620 pkts/sec * 3 CPUs == 1,635,623 -- 3,692,216 pkts/sec * 4 CPUs == 1,567,768 -- 4,102,866 pkts/sec * 5 CPUs == 1,700,270 -- 5,151,489 pkts/sec * 6 CPUs == 1,762,392 -- 6,124,512 pkts/sec * 7 CPUs == 1,850,139 -- 7,120,496 pkts/sec * 8 CPUs == 1,770,909 -- 8,058,710 pkts/sec * 9 CPUs == 1,721,072 -- 8,963,192 pkts/sec * 10 CPUs == 1,359,157 -- 9,584,535 pkts/sec * 11 CPUs == 1,175,520 -- 10,498,038 pkts/sec * 12 CPUs == 1,075,867 -- 11,189,292 pkts/sec * 13 CPUs == 1,012,602 -- 12,048,836 pkts/sec * [...] * 20 CPUs == 1,030,446 -- 11,202,449 pkts/sec Trafgen using mmap() TX tpacket_v2 (default) * # CPUs -- *with* -- *without* packet_rcv() call * 1 CPU == 920,682 -- 927,984 pkts/sec * 2 CPUs == 1,607,940 -- 2,061,406 pkts/sec * 3 CPUs == 1,668,488 -- 2,979,463 pkts/sec * 4 CPUs == 1,423,066 -- 3,169,565 pkts/sec * 5 CPUs == 1,507,708 -- 3,910,756 pkts/sec * 6 CPUs == 1,555,616 -- 4,625,844 pkts/sec * 7 CPUs == 1,560,961 -- 5,298,441 pkts/sec * 8 CPUs == 1,596,092 -- 6,000,465 pkts/sec * 9 CPUs == 1,575,139 -- 6,722,130 pkts/sec * 10 CPUs == 1,311,676 -- 7,114,202 pkts/sec * 11 CPUs == 1,157,650 -- 7,859,399 pkts/sec * 12 CPUs == 1,060,366 -- 8,491,004 pkts/sec * 13 CPUs == 1,012,956 -- 9,269,761 pkts/sec * [...] * 20 CPUs == 955,716 -- 8,653,947 pkts/sec It is fairly strange that the mmap() version runs slower than the sendto() version. This is likely another performance problem related to mmap() which seems worth fixing. Note, that the mmap() version speed can be improved by reducing the default --ring-size to around 1-2 MiB. But this does not fix general trend with mmap() performance. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>
2013-08-20configure: allow trafgen build when only TPACKET_V2 is availableDaniel Borkmann1-0/+9
On machines like RHEL6 that do not have support for TPACKET_V3, we should still allow at least trafgen to be built for network testing. Thus, do something useful with the TPACKET_V3 configure check and comment out in ring.h relevant structures. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

2013-05-31ring: netsniff-ng: migrate capture only to TPACKET_V3Daniel Borkmann1-0/+7
Lets migrate capturing to TPACKET_V3, since it will bring a better performance due to fewer page cache misses caused by a higher density of packets, since now they are contigous placed in the ring buffer. It is said that TPACKET_V3 brings the following benefits: *) ~15 - 20% reduction in CPU-usage *) ~20% increase in packet capture rate *) ~2x increase in packet density *) Port aggregation analysis *) Non static frame size to capture entire packet payload Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

2013-05-13ring: break out timestamping since not directly relatedDaniel Borkmann1-35/+0
Break out the timestamping part of the ring.h file, since it's not directly related to the {t,r}x_ring. Also inlining doesn't make sense here. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-04-23ring: tstamp: no need for tx tsDaniel Borkmann1-1/+1
Set TX timestamping to HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF. We do not use it, therefore do not waist time keeping track of it. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-03-16ring: don't care if we cannot active hw timestampingDaniel Borkmann1-13/+8
Hw timestaming is currently done, if we have the header file from the kernel available. If it fails, we currently bail out, which is bullshit. Just returning is enough, since some users might have the header available, but not a NIC supporting hw timestaming. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-03-15all: import netsniff-ng 0.5.8-rc0 sourceDaniel Borkmann1-0/+174
We decided to get rid of the old Git history and start a new one for several reasons: *) Allow / enforce only high-quality commits (which was not the case for many commits in the history), have a policy that is more close to the one from the Linux kernel. With high quality commits, we mean code that is logically split into commits and commit messages that are signed-off and have a proper subject and message body. We do not allow automatic Github merges anymore, since they are total bullshit. However, we will either cherry-pick your patches or pull them manually. *) The old archive was about ~27MB for no particular good reason. This basically derived from the bad decision that also some PDF files where stored there. From this moment onwards, no binary objects are allowed to be stored in this repository anymore. The old archive is not wiped away from the Internet. You will still be able to find it, e.g. on git.cryptoism.org etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
