It is primarily targeted at supporting multi-queue NICs. # Since different NICs may have different queue organizations, and # because there is no standard API for learning the mapping between # queues and IRQ numbers, different code is required for each driver. # # The general strategy includes: # - Spread the receive load among as many CPUs as possible. # - For NICs that provide both rx and tx queue, keep the tx queue # on the same CPU as the corresponding rx queue. # - For all multi-queue NICs in the system, the same tx and rx queue # numbers should interrupt the same CPUs. I.e. tx and rx queue 0 # of all NICs should interrupt the same CPU. # - If hyperthreading is supported and enabled, avoid assigning # queues to both CPUs of a hyperthreaded pair if there are enough # CPUs available to do that. # use lib "/opt/vyatta/share/perl5"; use Getopt::Long; use warnings; use strict; # Send output of shell commands to syslog for debugging and so that # the user is not confused by it. Log at debug level, which is supressed # by default, so that we don't unnecessarily fill up the syslog file. my $logger = 'logger -t firewall-cfg -p local0.debug --'; # Enable printing debug output to stdout. my $debug_flag = 0; my $syslog_flag = 0; my $setup_ifname; GetOptions("setup=s" => \$setup_ifname, "debug" => \$debug_flag ); sub log_msg { my $message = shift; print "DEBUG: $message" if $debug_flag; system("$logger DEBUG: \"$message\"") if $syslog_flag; } # Affinity strategy function for the igb driver. NICs using this # driver have an equal number of rx and tx queues. The first part of # the strategy for optimal performance is to assign irq of each queue # in a pair of tx and rx queues that have the same queue number to the # same CPU. I.e., assign queue 0 to CPU X, queue 1 to CPU Y, etc. # The second part is to avoid assigning any queues to the second CPU # in a hyper-threaded pair, if posible. I.e., if CPU 0 and 1 are # hyper-threaded pairs, then assign a queue to CPU 0, but try to avoid # assigning one to to CPU 1. But if we have more queues than CPUs, then # it is OK to assign some to the second CPU in a hyperthreaded pair. # sub igb_func{ my ($ifname, $numcpus, $numcores) = @_; my $rx_queues; # number of rx queues my $tx_queues; # number of tx queues my $ht_factor; # 2 if HT enabled, 1 if not log_msg("igb_func was called.\n"); if ($numcpus > $numcores) { $ht_factor = 2; } else { $ht_factor = 1; } log_msg("ht_factor is $ht_factor.\n"); # Figure out how many queues we have $rx_queues=`grep "$ifname-rx-" /proc/interrupts | wc -l`; $rx_queues =~ s/\n//; $tx_queues=`grep "$ifname-tx-" /proc/interrupts | wc -l`; $tx_queues =~ s/\n//; log_msg("rx_queues is $rx_queues. tx_queues is $tx_queues\n"); if ($rx_queues != $tx_queues) { printf("Error: rx and tx queues don't match for igb driver.\n"); exit 1; } # For i = 0 to number of queues: # Affinity of rx and tx queue $i gets CPU ($i * (2 if HT, 1 if no HT)) # % number_of_cpus for (my $queue = 0, my $cpu = 0; ($queue < $rx_queues) ; $queue++) { # Generate the hex string for the bitmask representing this CPU my $cpu_bit = 1 << $cpu; my $cpu_hex = sprintf("%x", $cpu_bit); log_msg ("queue=$queue cpu=$cpu cpu_bit=$cpu_bit cpu_hex=$cpu_hex\n"); # Get the IRQ number for RX queue my $rx_irq=`grep "$ifname-rx-$queue" /proc/interrupts | awk -F: '{print \$1}'`; $rx_irq =~ s/\n//; $rx_irq =~ s/ //g; # Get the IRQ number for TX queue my $tx_irq=`grep "$ifname-tx-$queue" /proc/interrupts | awk -F: '{print \$1}'`; $tx_irq =~ s/\n//; $tx_irq =~ s/ //g; log_msg("rx_irq = $rx_irq. tx_irq = $tx_irq\n"); # Assign CPU affinity for both IRQs system "echo $cpu_hex > /proc/irq/$rx_irq/smp_affinity"; system "echo $cpu_hex > /proc/irq/$tx_irq/smp_affinity"; $cpu += $ht_factor; if ($cpu >= $numcpus) { # Must "wrap" $cpu %= $numcpus; if ($ht_factor > 1) { # Next time through, select the other CPU in a hyperthreaded # pair. if ($cpu == 0) { $cpu++; } else { $cpu--; } } } } }; # Similar strategy as for igb driver, but Broadcom NICs do not have # separate receive and transmit queues. sub bnx2_func{ my ($ifname, $numcpus, $numcores) = @_; my $num_queues; # number of queues my $ht_factor; # 2 if HT enabled, 1 if not log_msg("bnx2_func was called.\n"); # Figure out how many queues we have $num_queues=`grep "$ifname-" /proc/interrupts | wc -l`; $num_queues =~ s/\n//; log_msg("num_queues=$num_queues\n"); if ($num_queues <=0) { printf("ERROR: No queues found for $ifname\n"); exit 1; } if ($numcpus > $numcores) { $ht_factor = 2; } else { $ht_factor = 1; } log_msg("ht_factor is $ht_factor.\n"); for (my $queue = 0, my $cpu = 0; ($queue < $num_queues) ; $queue++) { # Generate the hex string for the bitmask representing this CPU my $cpu_bit = 1 << $cpu; my $cpu_hex = sprintf("%x", $cpu_bit); log_msg ("queue=$queue cpu=$cpu cpu_bit=$cpu_bit cpu_hex=$cpu_hex\n"); # Get the IRQ number for the queue my $irq=`grep "$ifname-$queue" /proc/interrupts | awk -F: '{print \$1}'`; $irq =~ s/\n//; $irq =~ s/ //g; log_msg("irq = $irq.\n"); # Assign CPU affinity for this IRQs system "echo $cpu_hex > /proc/irq/$irq/smp_affinity"; $cpu += $ht_factor; if ($cpu >= $numcpus) { # Must "wrap" $cpu %= $numcpus; if ($ht_factor > 1) { # Next time through, select the other CPU in a hyperthreaded # pair. if ($cpu == 0) { $cpu++; } else { $cpu--; } } } } } my %driver_hash = ( 'igb' => \&igb_func, 'ixbg' => \&igb_func, 'bnx2' =>\&bnx2_func ); if (defined $setup_ifname) { # Set up automatic IRQ affinity for the named interface log_msg("setup $setup_ifname\n"); my $ifname = $setup_ifname; # shorter variable name my $drivername; # Name of the NIC driver, e.g. "igb". my $numcpus; # Number of Linux "cpus" my $numcores; # Number of unique CPU cores my $driver_func; # Pointer to fuction specific to a driver # Determine how many CPUs the machine has $numcpus=`grep "^processor" /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`; $numcpus =~ s/\n//; log_msg("numcpus is $numcpus\n"); if ($numcpus == 1) { # Nothing to do if we only have one CPU, so just exit quietly. exit 0; } # Verify that interface exists if (!
