SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +===================== +io_uring zero copy Rx +===================== + +Introduction +============ + +io_uring zero copy Rx (ZC Rx) is a feature that removes kernel-to-user copy on +the network receive path, allowing packet data to be received directly into +userspace memory. This feature is different to TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE in that +there are no strict alignment requirements and no need to mmap()/munmap(). +Compared to kernel bypass solutions such as e.g. DPDK, the packet headers are +processed by the kernel TCP stack as normal. + +NIC HW Requirements +=================== + +Several NIC HW features are required for io_uring ZC Rx to work. For now the +kernel API does not configure the NIC and it must be done by the user. + +Header/data split +----------------- + +Required to split packets at the L4 boundary into a header and a payload. +Headers are received into kernel memory as normal and processed by the TCP +stack as normal. Payloads are received into userspace memory directly. + +Flow steering +------------- + +Specific HW Rx queues are configured for this feature, but modern NICs +typically distribute flows across all HW Rx queues. Flow steering is required +to ensure that only desired flows are directed towards HW queues that are +configured for io_uring ZC Rx. + +RSS +--- + +In addition to flow steering above, RSS is required to steer all other non-zero +copy flows away from queues that are configured for io_uring ZC Rx. + +Usage +===== + +Setup NIC +--------- + +Must be done out of band for now. + +Ensure there are at least two queues:: + + ethtool -L eth0 combined 2 + +Enable header/data split:: + + ethtool -G eth0 tcp-data-split on + +Carve out half of the HW Rx queues for zero copy using RSS:: + + ethtool -X eth0 equal 1 + +Set up flow steering, bearing in mind that queues are 0-indexed:: + + ethtool -N eth0 flow-type tcp6 ... action 1 + +Setup io_uring +-------------- + +This section describes the low level io_uring kernel API.
