Add optional PTP hardware timestamp offload for virtio-net.

Accurate RTT measurement requires timestamps close to the wire.
Introduce virtio feature VIRTIO_NET_F_RX_TSTAMP. If negotiated, the
virtio-net header is expanded with room for a timestamp. A host may
pass receive timestamps for all or some packets. A timestamp is valid
if non-zero.

The timestamp straddles (virtual) hardware domains. Like PTP, use
international atomic time (CLOCK_TAI) as global clock base. It is
guest responsibility to sync with host, e.g., through kvm-clock.

So it looks like VIRTIO_NET_F_RX_TSTAMP should depend on both
VIRTIO_NET_F_RX_TSTAMP and VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT then?

I am not sure what does v12 mean here.

virtio_net_hdr_v1 is just with VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1,
virtio_net_hdr_v1_hash is with VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 and
VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT.

So this one is virtio_net_hdr_hash_tstamp I guess?

Do you mean VIRTIO_NET_F_TX_TSTAMP depends on VIRTIO_NET_F_RX_TSTAMP?

I think if either is enabled we need to enable the extended layout.
Regardless of whether TX_HASH or HASH_REPORT are enabled. If they are
not, then those fields are ignored.

Sounds better, yes, will change that.

This was an attempt at identifying the layout with the likely next
generation of the spec, 1.2. Similar to virtio_net_hdr_v1. But that is
both premature and not very helpful.

I mean do we waste the 8 bytes for hash if TSTAMP is set but HASH is not?
If TSTAMP depends on HASH then point is moot.

Would this not be confusing to some user space SW to have a NIC with 
no PHC deliver HW stamps?

I'd CC Richard on this, unless you already discussed with him offline.

Thanks, good point. I should have included Richard.

There is a well understood method for synchronizing guest and host
clock in KVM using ptp_kvm. For virtual environments without NIC
hardware offload, the when host timestamps in software, this suffices.

Syncing host with NIC is assumed if the host advertises the feature
and implements using real hardware timestamps.

True, but the two features really are independent.

I did consider using configurable metadata layout depending on
features negotiated. If there are tons of optional extensions, that
makes sense. But it is more complex and parsing error prone. With a
handful of options each of a few bytes, that did not seem worth the
cost to me at this point.

And importantly, such a mode can always be added later as a separate
VIRTIO_NET_F_PACKED_HEADER option.

If anything, perhaps if we increase the virtio_net_hdr_* allocation,
we should allocate some additional reserved space now? As each new
size introduces quite a bit of boilerplate. Also, e.g., in qemu just
to pass the sizes between virtio-net driver and vhost-net device.

Consider NFV workloads(64B) packet. Most fields of current vnet header
is even a burdern. It might be the time to introduce configurable or
self-descriptive vnet header.

What will do feature provide?

Such workloads will not negotiate these features, I imagine.

I think this could only become an issue if a small packet workload
would want to negotiate one optional feature, without the others.

Even then, the actual cost of a few untouched bytes is negligible, as
long as the headers don't span cache-lines. I expect it to be cheaper
than having to parse a dynamic layout.

> It might be the time to introduce configurable or
> self-descriptive vnet header.

I did briefly toy with a type-val encoding. Not type-val-len, as all
options have fixed length (so far), so length can be left implicit.
But as each feature is negotiated before hand, the type can be left
implicit too. Leaving just the data elements tightly packed. As long
as order is defined.

The tightly packed data elements. Strip out the elements for non
negotiated features. So if either tstamp option is negotiated, but
hash is not, exclude the 64b of hash fields. Note that I'm not
actually arguing for this (at this point).

Yes.

Right. It looks to me with hash report support the current header has 
exceeds 32 bytes which is the cacheline size for some archs. And it can 
be imagined that after two or more features it could be larger than 64 
bytes.

The only overhead is probably analyzing "type" which should be cheap I 
guess.

Right, so in this case there should be even no overhead.

I second for this.

Or it could be useful for virtio hardware when there's no KVM that 
provides PTP.

Does endian-ness matter? If not - just u32?

Given it's only available in modern devices, I think we
can make this __le64 tstamp.

I suppose it does not matter as long as this is reserved. Should it be
__le32, at least?

Actually, would it be possible to make new features available on
legacy devices? There is nothing in the features bits precluding it.

I have a revised patchset almost ready. I suppose I should send it as
RFC again, and simultaneously file an OASIS ballot for each feature?

One can safely assign 0 to any value.

I think it won't be possible: you are using feature bit 55,
legacy devices have up to 32 feature bits. And of course the
header looks a bit differently for legacy, you would have to add special
code to handle that when mergeable buffers are off.

that would be great.

I think I can make the latter work. I did start without a dependency
on the v1 header initially.

think about that. It would be very appealing if in particular the
tx-hash feature could work in legacy mode.

Will do, thanks.
