vsock/virtio: avoid queuing packets when intermediate queue is empty
When the driver needs to send new packets to the device, it always queues the new sk_buffs into an intermediate queue (send_pkt_queue) and schedules a worker (send_pkt_work) to then queue them into the virtqueue exposed to the device.
This increases the chance of batching, but also introduces a lot of latency into the communication. So we can optimize this path by adding a fast path to be taken when there is no element in the intermediate queue, there is space available in the virtqueue, and no other process that is sending packets (tx_lock held).
The following benchmarks were run to check improvements in latency and throughput. The test bed is a host with Intel i7-10700KF CPU @ 3.80GHz and L1 guest running on QEMU/KVM with vhost process and all vCPUs pinned individually to pCPUs.
- Latency Tool: Fio version 3.37-56 Mode: pingpong (h-g-h) Test runs: 50 Runtime-per-test: 50s Type: SOCK_STREAM
In the following fio benchmark (pingpong mode) the host sends a payload to the guest and waits for the same payload back.
fio process pinned both inside the host and the guest system.
Before: Linux 6.9.8
Payload 64B:
1st perc. overall 99th perc. Before 12.91 16.78 42.24 us After 9.77 13.57 39.17 us
Payload 512B:
1st perc. overall 99th perc. Before 13.35 17.35 41.52 us After 10.25 14.11 39.58 us
Payload 4K:
1st perc. overall 99th perc. Before 14.71 19.87 41.52 us After 10.51 14.96 40.81 us
- Throughput Tool: iperf-vsock
The size represents the buffer length (-l) to read/write P represents the number of parallel streams
P=1 4K 64K 128K Before 6.87 29.3 29.5 Gb/s After 10.5 39.4 39.9 Gb/s
P=2 4K 64K 128K Before 10.5 32.8 33.2 Gb/s After 17.8 47.7 48.5 Gb/s
P=4 4K 64K 128K Before 12.7 33.6 34.2 Gb/s After 16.9 48.1 50.5 Gb/s
The performance improvement is related to this optimization, I used a ebpf kretprobe on virtio_transport_send_skb to check that each packet was sent directly to the virtqueue

Merge tag 'net-next-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "The zero-copy changes are relatively significant, but regression risk should be contained. The feature needs to be used to cause trouble.
Also it feels like we got an order of magnitude more semi-automated "refactoring" chaff than usual, I wonder if it's just us.
Core & protocols:
- Support Device Memory TCP, ability to zero-copy receive TCP payloads to a DMABUF region of memory while packet headers land separately in normal kernel buffers, and TCP processes then as usual.
- The ability to read the PTP PHC (Physical Hardware Clock) alongside MONOTONIC_RAW timestamps with PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED. Previously only CLOCK_REALTIME was supported.
- Allow matching on all bits of IP DSCP for routing decisions. Previously we only supported on matching TOS bits in IPv4 which is a narrower interpretation of the same header field.
- Increase the range of weights used for multi-path routing from 8 bits to 16 bits.
- Add support for IPv6 PIO p flag in the Prefix Information Option per draft-ietf-6man-pio-pflag.
- IPv6 IOAM6 support for new tunsrc encap mode for better performance.
- Detect destinations which blackhole MPTCP traffic and avoid initiating MPTCP connections to them for a certain period of time, 1h by default.
- Improve IPsec control path performance by removing the inexact policies list.
- AF_VSOCK: add support for SIOCOUTQ ioctl.
- Add enum for reasons TCP reset was sent for easier tracing.
- Add SMC ringbufs usage statistics.
Drivers:
- Handle netconsole setup failures more gracefully, don't fail loading, retain the specified target as disabled.
- Extend bonding's IPsec offload pass thru capabilities (ESN, stats).
Filtering:
- Add TCP_BPF_SOCK_OPS_CB_FLAGS to bpf_*sockopt() to address the case when long-lived sockets miss a chance to set additional callbacks if a sockops program was not attached early in their lifetime.
- Support using BPF skb helpers in tracepoints.
- Conntrack Netlink: support CTA_FILTER for flush.
- Improve SCTP support in nfnetlink_queue.
- Improve performance of large nftables flush transactions.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- selftests: support setting an "interpreter" for script files; make it easy to run as separate cases tests where one "interpreter" is fed various test descriptions (in our case packet sequences).
Driver API:
- Extend core and ethtool APIs to support many PHYs connected to a single interface (PHY topologies).
- Extend cable diagnostics to specify whether Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) or Active Link Cable Diagnostic (ALCD) was used.
- Add library for implementing MAC-PHY Ethernet drivers for SPI devices compatible with Open Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY Serial Interface (TC6) standard.
- Add helpers to the PHY framework, for PHYs following the Open Alliance standards: - 1000BaseT1 link settings - cable test and diagnostics
- Support listing / dumping all allocated RSS contexts.
- Add configuration for frequency Embedded SYNC in DPLL, which magically embeds sync pulses into Ethernet signaling.

Merge branch 'vsock-virtio' into main
Luigi Leonardi says:
==================== vsock: avoid queuing on intermediate queue if possible
This series introduces an optimization for vsock/virtio to reduce latency and increase the throughput: When the guest sends a packet to the host, and the intermediate queue (send_pkt_queue) is empty, if there is enough space, the packet is put directly in the virtqueue.
v3->v4 While running experiments on fio with 64B payload, I realized that there was a mistake in my fio configuration, so I re-ran all the experiments and now the latency numbers are indeed lower with the patch applied. I also noticed that I was kicking the host without the lock.
- Fixed a configuration mistake on fio and re-ran all experiments. - Fio latency measurement using 64B payload. - virtio_transport_send_skb_fast_path sends kick with the tx_lock acquired - Addressed all minor style changes requested by maintainer. - Rebased on latest net-next - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240711-pinna-v3-0-697d4164fe80@outlook.com
v2->v3 - Performed more experiments using iperf3 using multiple streams - Handling of reply packets removed from virtio_transport_send_skb, as is needed just by the worker. - Removed atomic_inc/atomic_sub when queuing directly to the vq. - Introduced virtio_transport_send_skb_fast_path that handles the steps for sending on the vq. - Fixed a missing mutex_unlock in error path. - Changed authorship of the second commit - Rebased on latest net-next
v1->v2 In this v2 I replaced a mutex_lock with a mutex_trylock because it was insidea RCU critical section. I also added a check on tx_run, so if the module is being removed the packet is not queued. I'd like to thank Stefano for reporting the tx_run issue.
Applied all Stefano's suggestions: - Minor code style changes - Minor commit text rewrite Performed more experiments: - Check if all the packets go directly to the vq (Matias' suggestion) - Used iperf3 to see if there is any improvement in overall throughput from guest to host - Pinned the vhost process to a pCPU. - Run fio using 512B payload Rebased on latest net-next ====================

vsock/virtio: add SIOCOUTQ support for all virtio based transports
Introduce support for virtio_transport_unsent_bytes ioctl for virtio_transport, vhost_vsock and vsock_loopback.
For all transports the unsent bytes counter is incremented in virtio_transport_get_credit.
In virtio_transport (G2H) and in vhost-vsock (H2G) the counter is decremented when the skbuff is consumed. In vsock_loopback the same skbuff is passed from the transmitter to the receiver, so the counter is decremented before queuing the skbuff to the receiver.
