2013-12-12trafgen: take advantage of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS sock optionJesper Dangaard Brouer1-2/+11
Since Linux 3.14, the kernel supports a socket option PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, which trafgen enables by default. That allow us to bypass the kernels normal qdisc (traffic control) layer. An option -q, --qdisc-path is added to allow enabling the qdisc path explicity, useful for testing purposes. This will be avail in kernels >= 3.14 via commit d346a3fae3 (packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option). Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>
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>

2013-06-15trafgen: fix checksumming in trafgen example configDaniel Borkmann1-1/+1
Took quite a while to git bisect the cause for the wrong TCP checksum in the -e example. It turned out that commit bf43e1993c7037 ("trafgen: lexer: return original string if no shellcode") "broke" it, since before that commit the TCP checksum from -e example was correct and afterwards not anymore. Well, it didn't break it. What was happening here is that with this fix above, the packet got 1 byte longer since the first character of the example string is not omitted anymore, therefore the checksum got wrong. Fix this by fixing the IP total length of the packet in the -e and man page example. The UDP example from the man page still works well if csumudp() is used, so not affected of this.

2013-06-15trafgen: check offsets for all kind of csumsDaniel Borkmann1-2/+5
It seems not critical at this point, but lets check it for all offsets here as well, and mark this check as unlikely to happen. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-06-15trafgen: fix -n1 bug for packet schedulingDaniel Borkmann1-2/+2
In the current situation, it can happen when we set -n1, that no packet at all will be scheduled. This is due to the case that nearbyint() will for e.g. 2 cpus round to 0 each, and since in __correct_global_delta() we only correct a total delta when a particular CPU is allowed to tx packets (means already has a num > 0), then we correct the delta on the first such CPU. Switch to using round(), so that on 0.5 it will be round to the next higher int, and fix the check to >= 0 in __correct_global_delta() so that a CPU could also get a 0 share of packets. I did a couple of tests with different -n params and cpu(..) configs and this seems to fix that. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

When having a config like cpu(1): {...}, and one runs it with -n1, trafgen behaves buggy, I also noted that in other situations.

Let us check the return value when the timer triggers a TX flush request to the kernel. However, ignore the case of BADFS and NOBUFS.

2013-03-15all: import netsniff-ng 0.5.8-rc0 sourceDaniel Borkmann1-0/+1064
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>
