2015-07-08rhashtable: fix for resize events during table walkPhil Sutter
If rhashtable_walk_next detects a resize operation in progress, it jumps to the new table and continues walking that one. But it misses to drop the reference to it's current item, leading it to continue traversing the new table's bucket in which the current item is sorted into, and after reaching that bucket's end continues traversing the new table's second bucket instead of the first one, thereby potentially missing items. This fixes the rhashtable runtime test for me. Bug probably introduced by Herbert Xu's patch eddee5ba ("rhashtable: Fix walker behaviour during rehash") although not explicitly tested.

2015-05-16rhashtable: Add cap on number of elements in hash tableHerbert Xu
We currently have no limit on the number of elements in a hash table. This is a problem because some users (tipc) set a ceiling on the maximum table size and when that is reached the hash table may degenerate. Others may encounter OOM when growing and if we allow insertions when that happens the hash table perofrmance may also suffer. This patch adds a new paramater insecure_max_entries which becomes the cap on the table. If unset it defaults to max_size * 2. If it is also zero it means that there is no cap on the number of elements in the table. However, the table will grow whenever the utilisation hits 100% and if that growth fails, you will get ENOMEM on insertion. As allowing oversubscription is potentially dangerous, the name contains the word insecure. Note that the cap is not a hard limit. This is done for performance reasons as enforcing a hard limit will result in use of atomic ops that are heavier than the ones we currently use. The reasoning is that we're only guarding against a gross over- subscription of the table, rather than a small breach of the limit.

2015-04-22rhashtable: Do not schedule more than one rehash if we can't grow furtherThomas Graf
The current code currently only stops inserting rehashes into the chain when no resizes are currently scheduled. As long as resizes are scheduled and while inserting above the utilization watermark, more and more rehashes will be scheduled. This lead to a perfect DoS storm with thousands of rehashes scheduled which lead to thousands of spinlocks to be taken sequentially. Instead, only allow either a series of resizes or a single rehash. Drop any further rehashes and return -EBUSY.

2015-04-22rhashtable: Schedule async resize when sync realloc failsThomas Graf
When rhashtable_insert_rehash() fails with ENOMEM, this indicates that we can't allocate the necessary memory in the current context but the limits as set by the user would still allow to grow. Thus attempt an async resize in the background where we can allocate using GFP_KERNEL which is more likely to succeed. The insertion itself will still fail to indicate pressure. This fixes a bug where the table would never continue growing once the utilization is above 100%.

2015-03-23rhashtable: Add immediate rehash during insertionHerbert Xu
This patch reintroduces immediate rehash during insertion. If we find during insertion that the table is full or the chain length exceeds a set limit (currently 16 but may be disabled with insecure_elasticity) then we will force an immediate rehash. The rehash will contain an expansion if the table utilisation exceeds 75%. If this rehash fails then the insertion will fail. Otherwise the insertion will be reattempted in the new hash table.

2015-03-23rhashtable: Add multiple rehash supportHerbert Xu
This patch adds the missing bits to allow multiple rehashes. The read-side as well as remove already handle this correctly. So it's only the rehasher and insertion that need modification to handle this. Note that this patch doesn't actually enable it so for now rehashing is still only performed by the worker thread. This patch also disables the explicit expand/shrink interface because the table is meant to expand and shrink automatically, and continuing to export these interfaces unnecessarily complicates the life of the rehasher since the rehash process is now composed of two parts.

2015-03-23rhashtable: Allow hashfn to be unsetHerbert Xu
Since every current rhashtable user uses jhash as their hash function, the fact that jhash is an inline function causes each user to generate a copy of its code.

2015-03-20rhashtable: Allow hash/comparison functions to be inlinedHerbert Xu
This patch deals with the complaint that we make indirect function calls on the fast paths unnecessarily in rhashtable. We resolve it by moving the fast paths into inline functions that take struct rhashtable_param (which obviously must be the same set of parameters supplied to rhashtable_init) as an argument. The only remaining indirect call is to obj_hashfn (or key_hashfn it obj_hashfn is unset) on the rehash as well as the insert-during- rehash slow path. This patch also extends the support of vairable-length keys to include those where the key is fixed but scattered in the object. For example, in netlink we want to key off the namespace and the portid but they're not next to each other. This patch does this by directly using the object hash function as the indicator of whether the key is accessible or not. It also adds a new function obj_cmpfn to compare a key against an object. This means that the caller no longer needs to supply explicit compare functions. All this is done in a backwards compatible manner so no existing users are affected until they convert to the new interface.

2015-03-15rhashtable: Fix rhashtable_remove failuresHerbert Xu
The commit 9d901bc05153bbf33b5da2cd6266865e531f0545 ("rhashtable: Free bucket tables asynchronously after rehash") causes gratuitous failures in rhashtable_remove. The reason is that it inadvertently introduced multiple rehashing from the perspective of readers. IOW it is now possible to see more than two tables during a single RCU critical section. Fortunately the other reader rhashtable_lookup already deals with this correctly thanks to c4db8848af6af92f90462258603be844baeab44d ("rhashtable: rhashtable: Move future_tbl into struct bucket_table") so only rhashtable_remove is broken by this change. This patch fixes this by looping over every table from the first one to the last or until we find the element that we were trying to delete. Incidentally the simple test for detecting rehashing to prevent starting another shrinking no longer works. Since it isn't needed anyway (the work queue and the mutex serves as a natural barrier to unnecessary rehashes) I've simply killed the test.

2015-03-15rhashtable: Fix walker behaviour during rehashHerbert Xu
Previously whenever the walker encountered a resize it simply snaps back to the beginning and starts again. However, this only works if the rehash started and completed while the walker was idle. If the walker attempts to restart while the rehash is still ongoing, we may miss objects that we shouldn't have. This patch fixes this by making the walker walk the old table followed by the new table just like all other readers. If a rehash is detected we will still signal our caller of the fact so they can prepare for duplicates but we will simply continue the walk onto the new table after the old one is finished either by us or by the rehasher.

2015-03-12rhashtable: kill ht->shift atomic operationsDaniel Borkmann
Commit c0c09bfdc415 ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for worker queue") changed ht->shift to be atomic, which is actually unnecessary. Instead of leaving the current shift in the core rhashtable structure, it can be cached inside the individual bucket tables. There, it will only be initialized once during a new table allocation in the shrink/expansion slow path, and from then onward it stays immutable for the rest of the bucket table liftime. That allows shift to be non-atomic. The patch also moves hash_rnd management into the table setup. The rhashtable structure now consumes 3 instead of 4 cachelines.

2015-02-27rhashtable: unconditionally grow when max_shift is not specifiedDaniel Borkmann
While commit c0c09bfdc415 ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for worker queue") rightfully moved part of the decision making of whether we should expand or shrink from the expand/shrink functions themselves into insert/delete functions in order to avoid unnecessary worker wake-ups, it however introduced a regression by doing so. Before that change, if no max_shift was specified (= 0) on rhashtable initialization, rhashtable_expand() would just grow unconditionally and lets the available memory be the limiting factor. After that change, if no max_shift was specified, there would be _no_ expansion step at all. Given that netlink and tipc have a max_shift specified, it was not visible there, but Josh Hunt reported that if nft that starts out with a default element hint of 3 if not otherwise provided, would slow i.e. inserts down trememdously as it cannot grow larger to relax table occupancy. Given that the test case verifies shrinks/expands manually, we also must remove pointer to the helper functions to explicitly avoid parallel resizing on insertions/deletions. test_bucket_stats() and test_rht_lookup() could also be wrapped around rhashtable mutex to explicitly synchronize a walk from resizing, but I think that defeats the actual test case which intended to have explicit test steps, i.e. 1) inserts, 2) expands, 3) shrinks, 4) deletions, with object verification after each stage.
