2015-10-29ring: Move generic code for ring layout setup to own functionTobias Klauser1-15/+2
Initialization of the ring->layout members is the same for RX and TX rings. Instead of duplicating the code in setup_rx_ring_layout() and setup_tx_ring_layout(), create a new function setup_ring_layout_generic() which is called from the former two.

Allow to collect rx stats for multiple pcap mode, by storing them in separated variables before switch to the next pcap file. It allows to have the one approach when dump for single or multiple pcap(s) mode. Signed-off-by: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2015-04-21netsniff-ng: add packet fanout supportMichał Purzyński1-1/+18
This work adds packet fanout support to netsniff-ng. Multiple netsniff-ng instances can join the same fanout group with a particular id in order to improve scaling. Based on different fanout disciplines, e.g. distribute to fanout member by packet hash, round-robin, by arrival cpu, by random, by socket rollover (if one members socket queue is full, switch to next one, etc), by hardware queue mapping, traffic can be distributed to one of the fanout members. Moreover, we also allow the user to specify additional aux arguments, e.g. whether to defrag incoming traffic for the fanout group or not, and whether to roll over a socket in case other disciplines than socket rollover have been used. All that is configurable via command line option.

Instead of having #ifdef HAVE_TPACKET3 spread all over the code, encapsulate the functionality depending on it inside inline functions: the existing is_tpacket_v3() introduced in commit 5bc19d0b84d0 ("netsniff-ng: Only use TPACKET_V3 if HAVE_TPACKET3 is defined") and the newly introduced get_ring_layout_size() to get the ring layout size depending on the tpacket version available and the version actually in use.

2014-08-14netsniff-ng: Restore tpacket v2 capturingTobias Klauser1-1/+16
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.

2014-05-09ring: Merge common ring_{rx,tx} initialization into own functionTobias Klauser1-10/+13
Instead of having to perform the individual steps to initialize a ring and open coding them in multiple places, provide convenience functions to do all at once.

2014-05-03all: Use macros for printf/scanf format specifiersJames McCoy1-4/+5
Any types that are fixed width should use the standard format specifier macros (PRI... for printf-type functions, SCN... for scanf-type functions) to ensure proper data access. Prior to this ifpps was crashing in 32-bit environments due to the following call mvwprintw(screen, (*voff)++, 2, "%s,%s %s (%s%s), t=%lums, cpus=%u%s/%u" " ", uts.release, machine, ifname, drvinf.driver, buff, ms_interval, top_cpus, top_cpus > 0 && top_cpus < cpus ?

2014-04-30ring: Consistently use size_t to specify ring sizeTobias Klauser1-2/+2
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).

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>
2013-08-21ring_{rx,tx}: verbose: output version and v3 specific infoDaniel Borkmann1-3/+9
Kevin says: With netsniff-ng 0.5.8-rc2+, when I run the below packet capture session, the output seems to imply that 64K of memory is being allocated per frame, which does not look like what I want since my interface MTU is only 1500. This appears to be severely limiting the number of frames I can fit into my packet capture ring. As TPACKET_V3 is used in capturing to pcap files, frames are written continuously to the ring, thus the above will give a wrong impression to the user. Therefore, output such information in verbose mode differently when TPACKET_V3 is being used, as it works block-wise.

2013-06-25netsniff-ng: tpacketv3: 'fix' packet accounting outputDaniel Borkmann1-2/+3
In netsniff-ng, we use tpacketv3 for capturing-only mode. The issue observed lately is that when using f.e. -n10 or capturing a pcap and then quitting, the pcap or actually seen number of packets are less than what the statistics tell us from getsockopt(2). This is due to the fact that tpacketv3 divides its ring buffer into blocks of frames. Meaning, while we are traversing block n, the kernel already fills up block n+1 and following if new packets arrive. While doing so, it increments packet counters. Thus, when we ^C, we haven't seen those blocks, so the stats tell us mostly a slightly higher result. Fix this by adjusting socket stats printing to this fact.

2013-06-03netsniff-ng: v3: fix packet accounting on --numDaniel Borkmann1-0/+25
We need to carry frame_count through multiple calls of walk function to account correctly for --num <pkts>. Also, move socket stats printing into rx ring, since it belongs there. Todo: the kernel socket seems to have a different count that what we see. This needs to be fixed one way or the other. Not yet sure what's causing this.

2013-05-31ring: netsniff-ng: migrate capture only to TPACKET_V3Daniel Borkmann1-1/+1
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>

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.
