The NetDIM library, currently leveraged by an array of NICs, delivers
excellent acceleration benefits. Nevertheless, NICs vary significantly
in their dim profile list prerequisites.
Specifically, virtio-net backends may present diverse sw or hw device
implementation, making a one-size-fits-all parameter list impractical.
On Alibaba Cloud, the virtio DPU's performance under the default DIM
profile falls short of expectations, partly due to a mismatch in
parameter configuration.
I also noticed that ice/idpf/ena and other NICs have customized
profilelist or placed some restrictions on dim capabilities.
Motivated by this, I tried adding new params for "ethtool -C" that provides
a per-device control to modify and access a device's interrupt parameters.
Usage
========
The target NIC is named ethx.
Assume that ethx only declares support for rx profile setting
(with DIM_PROFILE_RX flag set in profile_flags) and supports modification
of usec and pkt fields.
1. Query the currently customized list of the device
$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec = 1, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 8, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 64, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 128, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile: n/a
2. Tune
$ ethtool -C ethx rx-profile 1,1,n_2,n,n_3,3,n_4,4,n_n,5,n
"n" means do not modify this field.
$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec = 1, .pkts = 1, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 2, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 3, .pkts = 3, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 4, .pkts = 4, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts = 5, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile: n/a
3. Hint
If the device does not support some type of customized dim profiles,
the corresponding "n/a" will display.
If the "n/a" field is being modified, -EOPNOTSUPP will be reported.
