packet: rollover only to socket with headroom
Only migrate flows to sockets that have sufficient headroom, where sufficient is defined as having at least 25% empty space. The kernel has three different buffer types: a regular socket, a ring with frames (TPACKET_V[12]) or a ring with blocks (TPACKET_V3). The latter two do not expose a read pointer to the kernel, so headroom is not computed easily. All three needs a different implementation to estimate free space. Tested: Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input. bench_rollover has as many sockets as there are NIC receive queues in the system. Each socket is owned by a process that is pinned to one of the receive cpus. RFS is disabled. RPS is enabled with an identity mapping (cpu x -> cpu x), to count drops with softnettop. lpbb5:/export/hda3/willemb# ./bench_rollover -r -l 1000 -s Press [Enter] to exit cpu rx rx.k drop.k rollover r.huge r.failed 0 16 16 0 0 0 0 1 21 21 0 0 0 0 2 5227502 5227502 0 0 0 0 3 18 18 0 0 0 0 4 6083289 6083289 0 5227496 0 0 5 22 22 0 0 0 0 6 21 21 0 0 0 0 7 9 9 0 0 0 0 Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
