Processing multicast / broadcast in fast path is performance draining and having more links means more clonning and bringing performance down further. Broadcast; in particular, need to be given to all the virtual links. Earlier tricks of enabling broadcast bit for IPv4 only interfaces are not really working since it fails autoconf. Which means enabling braodcast for all the links if protocol specific hacks do not have to be added into the driver. This patch defers all (incoming as well as outgoing) multicast traffic to a work-queue leaving only the unicast traffic in the fast-path. Now if we need to apply any additional tricks to further reduce the impact of this (multicast / broadcast) type of traffic, it can be implemented while processing this work without affecting the fast-path.
These patches appear to work for me for the L2 + DHCP use-case, however I experienced some quite odd behavior when pinging the ipvlan interface from another machine. I did this: ip link add link eno1 type ipvlan mode l2 ip netns add ipv ip link set dev ipvlan0 netns ipv ip netns exec ipv /sbin/dhclient -B -4 -1 -v -pf /run/dhclient-ipvlan0.pid -C adafdasdfasf ipvlan0 ip netns exec ping 4.2.2.1 <success> However, when pinging from another machine, I got very inconsistent ping replies: 64 bytes from 192.168.1.38: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=11.4 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.38: icmp_seq=16 ttl=64 time=64.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.38: icmp_seq=25 ttl=64 time=87.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.38: icmp_seq=30 ttl=64 time=242 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.38: icmp_seq=35 ttl=64 time=40.1 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.38: icmp_seq=36 ttl=64 time=60.9 ms But I cannot reproduce that in a second run (though I haven't rebooted to test cleanly again). And oddly, the dhclient process takes a consistent 5% CPU and wireshark running on eno1 (not even the ipvlan interface) jumps to 100% CPU along with the dumpcap process taking another 25%, none of which are normal. This is a 4-core i4790 box, so something is wrong here; is something holding onto a spinlock for way too long? But at least it handles the packets ok, so I say progress! Happy to help track down the CPU usage issue if you want to give me patches to test. Dan
