tun_do_read always adds current thread to wait queue, even if a packet
is ready to read. This is inefficient because both sleeper and waker
want to acquire the wait queue spin lock when packet rate is high.
We restructure the read function and use common kernel networking
routines to handle receive, sleep and wakeup. With the change
available packets are checked first before the reading thread is added
to the wait queue.
Ran performance tests with the following configuration:
- my packet generator -> tap1 -> br0 -> tap0 -> my packet consumer
- sender pinned to one core and receiver pinned to another core
- sender send small UDP packets (64 bytes total) as fast as it can
- sandy bridge cores
- throughput are receiver side goodput numbers
The results are
baseline: 731k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.50 cpus
changed: 783k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.53 cpus
The performance difference is largely determined by packet rate and
inter-cpu communication cost. For example, if the sender and
receiver are pinned to different cpu sockets, the results are
baseline: 558k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.71 cpus
changed: 690k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.67 cpus

This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

Even though only the outer vlan tag can be HW accelerated in the transmission
path, in the TUN/TAP driver vlan_features mirrors hw_features, which happens
to have the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_?TAG_TX flags set. Because of this, during packet
tranmisssion through a stacked vlan device dev_hard_start_xmit, (incorrectly)
assuming that the vlan device supports hardware vlan acceleration, does not
add the vlan header to the skb payload and the inner vlan tags are lost
(vlan_tci contains the outer vlan tag when userspace reads the packet from
the tap device).

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a
fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx();
fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers
invoke this function within their customized implementation in
case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback
handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different
queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc).
This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is
then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that
function to modules can be undone.

A file descriptor opened for /dev/net/tun and a tun device are
connected with ioctl. Though understanding the connection is
important for trouble shooting, no way is given to a user to know
the connected device for a given file descriptor at userland.
This patch adds a new fdinfo field for the device name connected to
a file descriptor opened for /dev/net/tun.
Here is an example of the field:
# lsof | grep tun
qemu-syst 4565 qemu 25u CHR 10,200 0t138 12921 /dev/net/tun
...
# cat /proc/4565/fdinfo/25
pos: 138
flags: 0104002
iff: vnet0
# ip link show dev vnet0
8: vnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 ...
changelog:
v2: indent iff just like the other fdinfo fields are.
v3: remove unused variable.
Both are suggested by David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>.

A patch for fixing a race between queue selection and changing queues
was introduced in commit 92bb73ea2("tuntap: fix a possible race between
queue selection and changing queues").
The fix was to prevent the driver from re-reading the tun->numqueues
more than once within tun_select_queue() using ACCESS_ONCE().
We have been experiancing 'Divide-by-zero' errors in tun_net_xmit()
since we moved from 3.6 to 3.10, and believe that they come from a
simular source where the value of tun->numqueues changes to zero
between the first and a subsequent read of tun->numqueues.
The fix is a simular use of ACCESS_ONCE(), as well as a multiply
instead of a divide in the if statement.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:
- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
when tso is disabled for lower device.
Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.
With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.
In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

This patch adds support so that the rps_flow_tables (RFS) can be
programmed using the tun flows which are already set up to track flows
for the purposes of queue selection.
On the receive path (corresponding to select_queue and tun_net_xmit) the
rxhash is saved in the flow_entry. The original code only does flow
lookup in select_queue, so this patch adds a flow lookup in tun_net_xmit
if num_queues == 1 (select_queue is not called from
dev_queue_xmit->netdev_pick_tx in that case).
The flow is recorded (processing CPU) in tun_flow_update (TX path), and
reset when flow is deleted.

We currently use hdr_len as a hint of head length which is advertised by
guest. But when guest advertise a very big value, it can lead to an 64K+
allocating of kmalloc() which has a very high possibility of failure when host
memory is fragmented or under heavy stress. The huge hdr_len also reduce the
effect of zerocopy or even disable if a gso skb is linearized in guest.
To solves those issues, this patch introduces an upper limit (PAGE_SIZE) of the
head, which guarantees an order 0 allocation each time.

There's a small problem with sk-filters on tun devices. Consider
an application doing this sequence of steps:
fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
ioctl(fd, TUNATTACHFILTER, &my_filter);
ioctl(fd, TUNSETPERSIST, 1);
close(fd);
At that point the tun0 will remain in the system and will keep in
mind that there should be a socket filter at address '&my_filter'.
If after that we do
fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
we most likely receive the -EFAULT error, since tun_attach() would
try to connect the filter back. But (!) if we provide a filter at
address &my_filter, then tun0 will be created and the "new" filter
would be attached, but application may not know about that.
This may create certain problems to anyone using tun-s, but it's
critical problem for c/r -- if we meet a persistent tun device
with a filter in mind, we will not be able to attach to it to dump
its state (flags, owner, address, vnethdr size, etc.).
The proposal is to allow to attach to tun device (with TUNSETIFF)
w/o attaching the filter to the tun-file's socket. After this
attach app may e.g clean the device by dropping the filter, it
doesn't want to have one, or (in case of c/r) get information
about the device with tun ioctls.

Tun devices cannot be created with ifidex user wants, but it's
required by checkpoint-restore project.
Long time ago such ability was implemented for rtnl_ops-based
interface for creating links (9c7dafbf net: Allow to create links
with given ifindex), but the only API for creating and managing
tuntap devices is ioctl-based and is evolving with adding new ones
(cde8b15f tuntap: add ioctl to attach or detach a file form tuntap
device).
Following that trend, here's how a new ioctl that sets the ifindex
for device, that _will_ be created by TUNSETIFF ioctl looks like.
So those who want a tuntap device with the ifindex N, should open
the tun device, call ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFINDEX, &N), then call TUNSETIFF.
If the index N is busy, then the register_netdev will find this out
and the ioctl would be failed with -EBUSY.
If setifindex is not called, then it will be generated as before.

Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance
regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even
if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before.
We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order
allocations.
Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8.
I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to
let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.

Inspired by commit f09e2249c4f5c7c13261ec73f5a7807076af0c8e (macvtap: restore

vlan_insert_tag() for 802.1ad and 802.1q traffic.

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than
one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest
network.
Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do
zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and
call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify
vhost.
We can do further optimization on top.

Userspace may produce vectors greater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. When we try to
linearize parts of the skb to let the rest of iov to be fit in
the frags, we need count copylen into linear when calling tun_alloc_skb()
instead of partly counting it into data_len. Since this breaks
zerocopy_sg_from_iovec() since its inner counter assumes nr_frags should
be zero at beginning. This cause nr_frags to be increased wrongly without
setting the correct frags.

dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

This routine doesn't fail since 9fdc6bef (tuntap: dont use a private kmem_cache)
so it makes sense to compact the code a little bit.

The TUN_PERSIST flag is not reported at all -- both TUNGETIFF, and sysfs
"flags" attribute skip one. Knowing whether a device is persistent or not
is critical for checkpoint-restore, thus I propose to add the read-only
IFF_PERSIST one for this.
Setting this new IFF_PERSIST is hardly possible, as TUNSETIFF doesn't check
for unknown flags being zero and thus there can be trash.

Commit 54f968d6efdbf7dec36faa44fc11f01b0e4d1990
(tuntap: move socket to tun_file) forgets to set SOCK_ZEROCOPY flag, which will
prevent vhost_net from doing zercopy w/ tap. This patch fixes this by setting
it during file open.

Complier may generate codes that re-read the tun->numqueues during
tun_select_queue(). This may be a race if vlan->numqueues were changed in the
same time and can lead unexpected result (e.g. very huge value).
We need prevent the compiler from generating such codes by adding an
ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure tun->numqueues were only read once.
Bug were introduced by commit c8d68e6be1c3b242f1c598595830890b65cea64a
(tuntap: multiqueue support).

We currently allow changing the mq flag (IFF_MULTI_QUEUE) for a persistent
device. This will result a mismatch between the number the queues in netdev and
tuntap. This is because we only allocate a 1q netdevice when IFF_MULTI_QUEUE was
not specified, so when we set the IFF_MULTI_QUEUE and try to attach more queues
later, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() may fail which result a single queue
netdevice with multiple sockets attached.
Solve this by disallowing changing the mq flag for persistent device.
Bug was introduced by commit edfb6a148ce62e5e19354a1dcd9a34e00815c2a1
(tuntap: reduce memory using of queues).

Most conflicts were minor overlapping stuff.
The be2net driver brought in some fixes that added __vlan_put_tag
calls, which in net-next take an additional argument.
