It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.
When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.
I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.
This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.
Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

HOWTO for the linux packet generator
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Date: 041221
|
|
|
|
Enable CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN to compile and build pktgen.o either in kernel
|
|
or as module. Module is preferred. insmod pktgen if needed. Once running
|
|
pktgen creates a thread on each CPU where each thread has affinity to its CPU.
|
|
Monitoring and controlling is done via /proc. Easiest to select a suitable
|
|
a sample script and configure.
|
|
|
|
On a dual CPU:
|
|
|
|
ps aux | grep pkt
|
|
root 129 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 523:20 [pktgen/0]
|
|
root 130 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 509:50 [pktgen/1]
|
|
|
|
|
|
For monitoring and control pktgen creates:
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_X
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/ethX
|
|
|
|
|
|
Viewing threads
|
|
===============
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
|
|
Name: kpktgend_0 max_before_softirq: 10000
|
|
Running:
|
|
Stopped: eth1
|
|
Result: OK: max_before_softirq=10000
|
|
|
|
Most important the devices assigned to thread. Note! A device can only belong
|
|
to one thread.

Configuring threads and devices
|
|
================================
|
|
This is done via the /proc interface easiest done via pgset in the scripts
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
pgset "clone_skb 1" sets the number of copies of the same packet
|
|
pgset "clone_skb 0" use single SKB for all transmits
|
|
pgset "pkt_size 9014" sets packet size to 9014
|
|
pgset "frags 5" packet will consist of 5 fragments
|
|
pgset "count 200000" sets number of packets to send, set to zero
|
|
for continuous sends until explicitly stopped.
|
|
|
|
pgset "delay 5000" adds delay to hard_start_xmit(). nanoseconds
|
|
|
|
pgset "dst 10.0.0.1" sets IP destination address
|
|
(BEWARE! This generator is very aggressive!)
|
|
|
|
pgset "dst_min 10.0.0.1" Same as dst
|
|
pgset "dst_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum destination IP.
|
|
pgset "src_min 10.0.0.1" Set the minimum (or only) source IP.
|
|
pgset "src_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum source IP.
|
|
pgset "dst6 fec0::1" IPV6 destination address
|
|
pgset "src6 fec0::2" IPV6 source address
|
|
pgset "dstmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC destination address
|
|
pgset "srcmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC source address
|
|
|
|
pgset "queue_map_min 0" Sets the min value of tx queue interval
|
|
pgset "queue_map_max 7" Sets the max value of tx queue interval, for multiqueue devices
|
|
To select queue 1 of a given device,
|
|
use queue_map_min=1 and queue_map_max=1
|
|
|
|
pgset "src_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through.
|
|
The 'minimum' MAC is what you set with srcmac.
|
|
|
|
pgset "dst_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through.
|
|
The 'minimum' MAC is what you set with dstmac.
|
|
|
|
pgset "flag [name]" Set a flag to determine behaviour. Current flags
|
|
are: IPSRC_RND #IP Source is random (between min/max),
|
|
IPDST_RND, UDPSRC_RND,
|
|
UDPDST_RND, MACSRC_RND, MACDST_RND
|
|
MPLS_RND, VID_RND, SVID_RND
|
|
QUEUE_MAP_RND # queue map random
|
|
QUEUE_MAP_CPU # queue map mirrors smp_processor_id()
|
|
|
|
|
|
pgset "udp_src_min 9" set UDP source port min, If < udp_src_max, then
|
|
cycle through the port range.
|
|
|
|
pgset "udp_src_max 9" set UDP source port max.
|
|
pgset "udp_dst_min 9" set UDP destination port min, If < udp_dst_max, then
|
|
cycle through the port range.
|
|
pgset "udp_dst_max 9" set UDP destination port max.
|
|
|
|
pgset "mpls 0001000a,0002000a,0000000a" set MPLS labels (in this example
|
|
outer label=16,middle label=32,
|
|
inner label=0 (IPv4 NULL)) Note that
|
|
there must be no spaces between the
|
|
arguments. Leading zeros are required.
|
|
Do not set the bottom of stack bit,
|
|
that's done automatically. If you do
|
|
set the bottom of stack bit, that
|
|
indicates that you want to randomly
|
|
generate that address and the flag
|
|
MPLS_RND will be turned on. You
|
|
can have any mix of random and fixed
|
|
labels in the label stack.
|
|
|
|
pgset "mpls 0" turn off mpls (or any invalid argument works too!)
|
|
|
|
pgset "vlan_id 77" set VLAN ID 0-4095
|
|
pgset "vlan_p 3" set priority bit 0-7 (default 0)
|
|
pgset "vlan_cfi 0" set canonical format identifier 0-1 (default 0)
|
|
|
|
pgset "svlan_id 22" set SVLAN ID 0-4095
|
|
pgset "svlan_p 3" set priority bit 0-7 (default 0)
|
|
pgset "svlan_cfi 0" set canonical format identifier 0-1 (default 0)
|
|
|
|
pgset "vlan_id 9999" > 4095 remove vlan and svlan tags
|
|
pgset "svlan 9999" > 4095 remove svlan tag
|
|
|
|
|
|
pgset "tos XX" set former IPv4 TOS field (e.g. "tos 28" for AF11 no ECN, default 00)
|
|
pgset "traffic_class XX" set former IPv6 TRAFFIC CLASS (e.g. "traffic_class B8" for EF no ECN, default 00)
|
|
|
|
pgset stop aborts injection. Also, ^C aborts generator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example scripts
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A collection of small tutorial scripts for pktgen is in examples dir.
|
|
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1 # 1 CPU 1 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-2 # 1 CPU 2 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-2-1 # 2 CPU's 1 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-2-2 # 2 CPU's 2 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev w. route DoS
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6 # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6 w. route DoS
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-flows # 1 CPU 1 dev multiple flows.
|
|
|
|
Run in shell: ./pktgen.conf-X-Y It does all the setup including sending.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interrupt affinity
|
|
===================
|
|
Note when adding devices to a specific CPU there good idea to also assign
|
|
/proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity so the TX-interrupts gets bound to the same CPU.
|
|
as this reduces cache bouncing when freeing skb's.
|
|
|
|
|
|
