2016-09-21trafgen: proto: Update field value at runtimeVadim Kochan1-0/+9
Add basic infrastructure for update proto field value at runtime by dynamic field function. Extended 'struct packet_dyn' with proto fields which has dynamically changing values at runtime. Added 'field_changed' callback for proto header which may be used for check if csum updating is needed. This callback is called after field was changed at runtime. Added 'packet_update' callback to let proto header know when to apply final proto header changes at runtime (e.g. - csum update).

Use the mkostemp_or_die() wrapper introduced in commit a87f181bd836 ("ioops: Add mkostemp_or_die") to safely create a unique temporary file instead of using rand() to manually create a (potentially unsafe) temporary filename. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2016-01-28trafgen: Add basic protocol generation logicVadim Kochan1-0/+3
Add new trafgen_proto.c module with basic protocol header fields generation logic. This will allow to support protocol specific keywords in the trafgen configuration language. Each protocol must implement struct proto_hdr and register it to the global proto list. Protocol headers consist of a set of fields, and each field must be described via struct proto_field by specifying unique id, length and offset (relative to the header start). Fields smaller than 8 bits can be described via left shift & mask. The following callbacks are invoked to perform special actions to build the header during parsing: 1) header_init - required fields must be added to the packet and initialized with default values. 2) header_finish - it is invoked when header is specified, all user specified fields are set. 3) packet_finish - callback is invoked from upper to lower header to calculate fields depending on upper layers such as total length or checksum. The protocol generation API provides convenience protocol field setters/getters to to be used in the parser while crafting the packet.

2015-11-02trafgen: Pre-calculate checksums if possibleTobias Klauser1-0/+19
The TCP/UDP checksums cannot be calculated in the parser as the packet payload following the TCP/UDP header is not yet know. However, we can calculate these checksums before the send loop if the only dynamic elements of the packet are checksums. This change avoids the overhead of recalculating the checksums for every iteration the send loop in these cases.

2015-03-31trafgen: Alloc cpus according to specified number of packetsVadim Kochan1-0/+8
Trafgen uses all the online CPUs even if the number of packets specified by -n is less than the number of selected CPUs. Such behaviour leads to issues: - trafgen re-calculates number of packets per CPU which leads to rounding it to 0 then no packets will be sent. - trafgen might send more packets than specified by -n because of using all the online cpus. Fixed by taking min(#CPUs, #packets) as the number of CPUs if a number of packets is specified by -n.

2014-04-30ring: Consistently use size_t to specify ring sizeTobias Klauser1-2/+4
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).

commit c10621e ("trafgen: keep a small initial ring buffer size to reduce cache-misses") reduced default ring buffer size to 196KiB, but on my big machines with 10Gbit/s this size is too small. Increase default ring-size to 512 KiB, yield the best results, without increasing ring buffer size too much, this fixes #120. Single CPU results from my E5-2630 CPU with intel ixgbe/82599.

2014-03-26trafgen: keep a small initial ring buffer size to reduce cache-missesDaniel Borkmann1-0/+3
Heavily reduce the initial ring buffer size for trafgen to just 196KiB, so that we can heavily reduce the number of cache-misses related to cache references. People can still overwrite this setting later on via command line option for their specific architecture if they wish. Perhaps the RX_RING should be checked as well in netsniff-ng though the use case there is slightly different.

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.

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>
