Felix Fietkau says: ==================== Add TCP fraglist GRO support When forwarding TCP after GRO, software segmentation is very expensive, especially when the checksum needs to be recalculated. One case where that's currently unavoidable is when routing packets over PPPoE. Performance improves significantly when using fraglist GRO implemented in the same way as for UDP. When NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST is enabled, perform a lookup for an established socket in the same netns as the receiving device. While this may not cover all relevant use cases in multi-netns configurations, it should be good enough for most configurations that need this. Here's a measurement of running 2 TCP streams through a MediaTek MT7622 device (2-core Cortex-A53), which runs NAT with flow offload enabled from one ethernet port to PPPoE on another ethernet port + cake qdisc set to 1Gbps. rx-gro-list off: 630 Mbit/s, CPU 35% idle rx-gro-list on: 770 Mbit/s, CPU 40% idle Changes since v4: - add likely() to prefer the non-fraglist path in check Changes since v3: - optimize __tcpv4_gso_segment_csum - add unlikely() - reorder dev_net/skb_gro_network_header calls after NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST check - add support for ipv6 nat - drop redundant pskb_may_pull check Changes since v2: - create tcp_gro_header_pull helper function to pull tcp header only once - optimize __tcpv4_gso_segment_list_csum, drop obsolete flags check Changes since v1: - revert bogus tcp flags overwrite on segmentation - fix kbuild issue with !CONFIG_IPV6 - only perform socket lookup for the first skb in the GRO train Changes since RFC: - split up patches - handle TCP flags mutations ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240502084450.44009-1-nbd@nbd.name Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
