This patch enables UDP GSO support. We enable this by using two WQEs the first is a UDP LSO WQE for all segments with equal length, and the second is for the last segment in case it has different length. Due to HW limitation, before sending, we must adjust the packet length fields. We measure performance between two Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2643 v2 @3.50GHz machines connected back-to-back with Connectx4-Lx (40Gbps) NICs. We compare single stream UDP, UDP GSO and UDP GSO with offload. Performance: | MSS (bytes) | Throughput (Gbps) | CPU utilization (%) UDP GSO offload | 1472 | 35.6 | 8% UDP GSO | 1472 | 25.5 | 17% UDP | 1472 | 10.2 | 17% UDP GSO offload | 1024 | 35.6 | 8% UDP GSO | 1024 | 19.2 | 17% UDP | 1024 | 5.7 | 17% UDP GSO offload | 512 | 33.8 | 16% UDP GSO | 512 | 10.4 | 17% UDP | 512 | 3.5 | 17% Signed-off-by: Boris Pismenny <borisp@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Yossi Kuperman <yossiku@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
