with my fixes the mt7623 passes a 48h stress test running the unit
on a
iperf test with 200 parallel flows at full wire speed. once
backported
to mt7621 i am pretty confident that the fix will yield the maximum
stable performance we can get.
Thanks! I will focus on finding a way to reproduce the issue then, and
then test Mingyu and your patches. Out of curiosity, when you say
maximum stable performance, does that mean that the hwnat will also be
backported?
Kristian
correct, in my testing i have been ... with 200 parallel flows ... on
MT7623, we'll have to find out what mt7621 can achieve ... this is all
using hwnat ...
1) tcp - at 50 byte frames i am able to pass 720 MBit which is > 1M FPS
2) udp - at 128 byte frames i am able to pass ~450k FPS at ~10% packet
loss .. at near wirespeed
in a nutshell ... UDP has no TC. due to this, the lower the frame size,
the higher the packet loss. the HW NAT will assert the FC bit inside the
GMAC. when using TCP this will cause back pressure to make the OS stall
the connection and reduce max throughput. in contrast, when using UDP
you'll see packet loss go up instead of dropping throughput as there is
no TC.
also i have managed to make HW QoS work, still working on the best way
to integrate this with fw3. HW QoS doe perform remarkably well on
mt7623. when saturating the link doing lan->wan traffic i am able to ssh
into the unit and only have a slight subjective increase in latency.
Nice, do you think this could be interfaced with the TC offloads that
the newer kernels support? What kind of HW QoS can you configure on MT7623?
Hi Florian,
there are 2 tasks
1) once pablo finished his flow table offloading i will invest private
resources to get HW NAT code for QCA8k and mt7530 upstreamed. i spoke
with pablo and my current understanding is that his patches will
accommodate both silicons. once his patches are public we'll know more ...
2) figure out how to get HW QoS upstream ... on mediatek i have fully
rev'ed the silicon and already looked at TC integration and believe we
can make it work with those new patches. regarding qca8k i am not fully
sure yet that this is possible due to how the silicon works .. might
require some patching .. TBD
John
