2016-05-03net: add __sock_wfree() helperEric Dumazet
Hosts sending lot of ACK packets exhibit high sock_wfree() cost because of cache line miss to test SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE We could move this flag close to sk_wmem_alloc but it is better to perform the atomic_sub_and_test() on a clean cache line, as it avoid one extra bus transaction. skb_orphan_partial() can also have a fast track for packets that either are TCP acks, or already went through another skb_orphan_partial() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: redesign socket-level flow control The socket-level flow control in TIPC has long been due for a major overhaul. This series fixes this. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-05-03tipc: redesign connection-level flow controlJon Paul Maloy
There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we can never permit the receive buffer to overflow. Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message. A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches 512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a sender socket is blocked this way. A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do much better. This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is 1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which is the value we are now using. This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance. In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

2016-05-03tipc: propagate peer node capabilities to socket layerJon Paul Maloy
During neighbor discovery, nodes advertise their capabilities as a bit map in a dedicated 16-bit field in the discovery message header. This bit map has so far only be stored in the node structure on the peer nodes, but we now see the need to keep a copy even in the socket structure. This commit adds this functionality.

2016-05-03tipc: re-enable compensation for socket receive buffer double countingJon Paul Maloy
In the refactoring commit d570d86497ee ("tipc: enqueue arrived buffers in socket in separate function") we did by accident replace the test if (sk->sk_backlog.len == 0) atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0); with if (sk->sk_backlog.len) atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0); This effectively disables the compensation we have for the double receive buffer accounting that occurs temporarily when buffers are moved from the backlog to the socket receive queue. Until now, this has gone unnoticed because of the large receive buffer limits we are applying, but becomes indispensable when we reduce this buffer limit later in this series. We now fix this by inverting the mentioned condition. Acked-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Joachim Eastwood says: ==================== stmmac: dwmac-socfpga refactor+cleanup This patch aims to remove the init/exit callbacks from the dwmac- socfpga driver and instead use standard PM callbacks. Doing this will also allow us to cleanup the driver. Eventually the init/exit callbacks will be deprecated and removed from all drivers dwmac-* except for dwmac-generic. Drivers will be refactored to use standard PM and remove callbacks. This patch set should not change the behavior of the driver itself, it only moves code around. The only exception to this is patch number 4 which restores the resume callback behavior which was changed in the "net: stmmac: socfpga: Remove re-registration of reset controller" patch. I belive calling phy_resume() only from the resume callback and not probe is the right thing to do. Changes from v1: - Rebase on net-next One heads-up here: The first patch changes the prototype of a couple of functions used in Alexandre's "add Ethernet glue logic for stm32 chip" patch [1] and will cause build failures for dwmac-stm32.c if not fixed up!

2016-05-03fq_codel: add batch ability to fq_codel_drop()Eric Dumazet
In presence of inelastic flows and stress, we can call fq_codel_drop() for every packet entering fq_codel qdisc. fq_codel_drop() is quite expensive, as it does a linear scan of 4 KB of memory to find a fat flow. Once found, it drops the oldest packet of this flow. Instead of dropping a single packet, try to drop 50% of the backlog of this fat flow, with a configurable limit of 64 packets per round. TCA_FQ_CODEL_DROP_BATCH_SIZE is the new attribute to make this limit configurable. With this strategy the 4 KB search is amortized to a single cache line per drop [1], so fq_codel_drop() no longer appears at the top of kernel profile in presence of few inelastic flows.

2016-05-03net: relax expensive skb_unclone() in iptunnel_handle_offloads()Eric Dumazet
Locally generated TCP GSO packets having to go through a GRE/SIT/IPIP tunnel have to go through an expensive skb_unclone() Reallocating skb->head is a lot of work. Test should really check if a 'real clone' of the packet was done. TCP does not care if the original gso_type is changed while the packet travels in the stack. This adds skb_header_unclone() which is a variant of skb_clone() using skb_header_cloned() check instead of skb_cloned(). This variant can probably be used from other points.

2016-05-02Merge branch 'bridge-per-vlan-stats'David S. Miller
Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== bridge: per-vlan stats This set adds support for bridge per-vlan statistics. In order to be able to dump statistics for many vlans we need a way to continue dumping after reaching maximum size, thus patches 01 and 02 extend the new stats API with a per-device extended link stats attribute and callback which can save its local state and continue where it left off afterwards. I considered using the already existing "fill_xstats" callback but it gets confusing since we need to separate the linkinfo dump from the new stats api dump and adding a flag/argument to do that just looks messy. I don't think the rtnl_link_ops size is an issue, so adding these seemed like the cleaner approach. Patches 03 and 04 add the stats support and netlink dump support respectively. The stats accounting is controlled via a bridge option which is default off, thus the performance impact is kept minimal. I've tested this set with both old and modified iproute2, kmemleak on and some traffic stress tests while adding/removing vlans and ports. v3: - drop the RCU pvid patch and remove one pointer fetch as requested - make stats accounting optional with default to off, the option is in the same cache line as vlan_proto and vlan_enabled, so it is already fetched before the fast path check thus the performance impact is minimal, this also allows us to avoid one vlan lookup and return early when using pvid - rebased and retested v2: - Improve the error checking, rename lidx to prividx and save the current idx user instead of restricting it to one in patch 01 - squash patch 02 into 01 and remove the restriction - add callback descriptions, improve the size calculation and change the xstats message structure to have an embedding level per rtnl link type so we can avoid one call to get the link type (and thus filter on it) and also each link type can now have any number of private attributes inside - fix a problem where the vlan stats are not dumped if the bridge has 0 vlans on it but has vlans on the ports, add bridge link type private attributes and also add paddings for future extensions to avoid at least a few netlink attributes and improve struct alignment - drop the is_skb_forwardable argument constifying patch as it's not needed anymore, but it's a nice cleanup which I'll send separately ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The br_allowed_ingress() common function is used to account for Rx packets and the br_handle_vlan() common function is used to account for Tx packets. Stats accounting is performed only if the bridge-wide vlan_stats_enabled option is set either via sysfs or netlink. A struct hole between vlan_enabled and vlan_proto is used for the new option so it is in the same cache line. Currently it is binary (on/off) but it is intentionally restricted to exactly 0 and 1 since other values will be used in the future for different purposes (e.g. per-port stats).

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: make TCP preemptible Most of TCP stack assumed it was running from BH handler. This is great for most things, as TCP behavior is very sensitive to scheduling artifacts. However, the prequeue and backlog processing are problematic, as they need to be flushed with BH being blocked. To cope with modern needs, TCP sockets have big sk_rcvbuf values, in the order of 16 MB, and soon 32 MB. This means that backlog can hold thousands of packets, and things like TCP coalescing or collapsing on this amount of packets can lead to insane latency spikes, since BH are blocked for too long. It is time to make UDP/TCP stacks preemptible. Note that fast path still runs from BH handler. v2: Added "tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog" to reduce latency problems of large sends. v3: Fixed a typo in tcp_cdg.c ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-05-02tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlogEric Dumazet
Large sendmsg()/write() hold socket lock for the duration of the call, unless sk->sk_sndbuf limit is hit. This is bad because incoming packets are parked into socket backlog for a long time. Critical decisions like fast retransmit might be delayed. Receivers have to maintain a big out of order queue with additional cpu overhead, and also possible stalls in TX once windows are full. Bidirectional flows are particularly hurt since the backlog can become quite big if the copy from user space triggers IO (page faults) Some applications learnt to use sendmsg() (or sendmmsg()) with small chunks to avoid this issue. Kernel should know better, right ? Add a generic sk_flush_backlog() helper and use it right before a new skb is allocated. Typically we put 64KB of payload per skb (unless MSG_EOR is requested) and checking socket backlog every 64KB gives good results. As a matter of fact, tests with TSO/GSO disabled give very nice results, as we manage to keep a small write queue and smaller perceived rtt. Note that sk_flush_backlog() maintains socket ownership, so is not equivalent to a {release_sock(sk); lock_sock(sk);}, to ensure implicit atomicity rules that sendmsg() was giving to (possibly buggy) applications. In this simple implementation, I chose to not call tcp_release_cb(), but we might consider this later.

2016-05-02udp: prepare for non BH masking at backlog processingEric Dumazet
UDP uses the generic socket backlog code, and this will soon be changed to not disable BH when protocol is called back. We need to use appropriate SNMP accessors.

2016-05-02tcp: do not block bh during prequeue processingEric Dumazet
AFAIK, nothing in current TCP stack absolutely wants BH being disabled once socket is owned by a thread running in process context. As mentioned in my prior patch ("tcp: give prequeue mode some care"), processing a batch of packets might take time, better not block BH at all.

2016-05-02tcp: do not assume TCP code is non preemptibleEric Dumazet
We want to to make TCP stack preemptible, as draining prequeue and backlog queues can take lot of time. Many SNMP updates were assuming that BH (and preemption) was disabled. Need to convert some __NET_INC_STATS() calls to NET_INC_STATS() and some __TCP_INC_STATS() to TCP_INC_STATS() Before using this_cpu_ptr(net->ipv4.tcp_sk) in tcp_v4_send_reset() and tcp_v4_send_ack(), we add an explicit preempt disabled section.
