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

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

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

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.
