Currently, we are seeing non-critical packets being transmitted outside of
their timeslice. We can confirm that the packets are being dequeued at the
right time. So, the delay is induced in the hardware side. The most likely
reason is the hardware queues are starving the lower priority queues.
In order to improve the performance of taprio, we will be making use of the
txtime feature provided by the ETF qdisc. For all the packets which do not
have the SO_TXTIME option set, taprio will set the transmit timestamp (set
in skb->tstamp) in this mode. TAPrio Qdisc will ensure that the transmit
time for the packet is set to when the gate is open. If SO_TXTIME is set,
the TAPrio qdisc will validate whether the timestamp (in skb->tstamp)
occurs when the gate corresponding to skb's traffic class is open.
Following two parameters added to support this mode:
- flags: used to enable txtime-assist mode. Will also be used to enable
other modes (like hardware offloading) later.
- txtime-delay: This indicates the minimum time it will take for the packet
to hit the wire. This is useful in determining whether we can transmit
the packet in the remaining time if the gate corresponding to the packet is
currently open.
An example configuration for enabling txtime-assist:
tc qdisc replace dev eth0 parent root handle 100 taprio \\
num_tc 3 \\
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \\
queues 1@0 1@0 1@0 \\
base-time 1558653424279842568 \\
sched-entry S 01 300000 \\
sched-entry S 02 300000 \\
sched-entry S 04 400000 \\
flags 0x1 \\
txtime-delay 40000 \\
clockid CLOCK_TAI
tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent 100:1 etf skip_sock_check \\
offload delta 200000 clockid CLOCK_TAI
Note that all the traffic classes are mapped to the same queue. This is
only possible in taprio when txtime-assist is enabled. Also, note that the
ETF Qdisc is enabled with offload mode set.
In this mode, if the packet's traffic class is open and the complete packet
can be transmitted, taprio will try to transmit the packet immediately.
This will be done by setting skb->tstamp to current_time + the time delta
indicated in the txtime-delay parameter. This parameter indicates the time
taken (in software) for packet to reach the network adapter.
If the packet cannot be transmitted in the current interval or if the
packet's traffic is not currently transmitting, the skb->tstamp is set to
the next available timestamp value. This is tracked in the next_launchtime
parameter in the struct sched_entry.
The behaviour w.r.t admin and oper schedules is not changed from what is
present in software mode.
The transmit time is already known in advance. So, we do not need the HR
timers to advance the schedule and wakeup the dequeue side of taprio. So,
HR timer won't be run when this mode is enabled.
