From 38b50dba4704856194ac02b98e492d2349d64058 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Brivio Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 22:22:37 +0200 Subject: passt: Spare some syscalls, add some optimisations from profiling Avoid a bunch of syscalls on forwarding paths by: - storing minimum and maximum file descriptor numbers for each protocol, fall back to SO_PROTOCOL query only on overlaps - allocating a larger receive buffer -- this can result in more coalesced packets than sendmmsg() can take (UIO_MAXIOV, i.e. 1024), so make sure we don't exceed that within a single call to protocol tap handlers - nesting the handling loop in tap_handler() in the receive loop, so that we have better chances of filling our receive buffer in fewer calls - skipping the recvfrom() in the UDP handler on EPOLLERR -- there's nothing to be done in that case and while at it: - restore the 20ms timer interval for periodic (TCP) events, I accidentally changed that to 100ms in an earlier commit - attempt using SO_ZEROCOPY for UDP -- if it's not available, sendmmsg() will succeed anyway - fix the handling of the status code from sendmmsg(), if it fails, we'll try to discard the first message, hence return 1 from the UDP handler Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio --- passt.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'passt.h') diff --git a/passt.h b/passt.h index 87d91e5..d8b2dce 100644 --- a/passt.h +++ b/passt.h @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ struct tap_msg { #include "icmp.h" #include "tcp.h" +#include "udp.h" /** * struct ctx - Execution context @@ -56,4 +57,5 @@ struct ctx { struct icmp_ctx icmp; struct tcp_ctx tcp; + struct tcp_ctx udp; }; -- cgit v1.2.3
