Not sure what I was thinking, but doing anything after releasing a refcount is suicidal or/and embarrassing. By the time we set skb->fclone to SKB_FCLONE_FREE, another cpu could have released last reference and freed whole skb. We potentially corrupt memory or trap if CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set.

2014-11-16net: provide a per host RSS key generic infrastructureEric Dumazet
RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes RSS key. Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two. This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing. netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key, even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later. A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues. Tested: myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key 11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41:36:40:74:b6:15:ca:27:44:aa:b3:4d:72 myhost:~# ethtool -x eth0 RX flow hash indirection table for eth0 with 8 RX ring(s): 0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 RSS hash key: 11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-11-13net: generic dev_disable_lro() stacked device handlingMichal Kubeček
Large receive offloading is known to cause problems if received packets are passed to other host. Therefore the kernel disables it by calling dev_disable_lro() whenever a network device is enslaved in a bridge or forwarding is enabled for it (or globally). For virtual devices we need to disable LRO on the underlying physical device (which is actually receiving the packets). Current dev_disable_lro() code handles this propagation for a vlan (including 802.1ad nested vlan), macvlan or a vlan on top of a macvlan. It doesn't handle other stacked devices and their combinations, in particular propagation from a bond to its slaves which often causes problems in virtualization setups. As we now have generic data structures describing the upper-lower device relationship, dev_disable_lro() can be generalized to disable LRO also for all lower devices (if any) once it is disabled for the device itself. For bonding and teaming devices, it is necessary to disable LRO not only on current slaves at the moment when dev_disable_lro() is called but also on any slave (port) added later. v2: use lower device links for all devices (including vlan and macvlan) Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-11-11net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimitedJoe Perches
Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro. All messages are still ratelimited. Some KERN_<LEVEL> uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG. This may have some negative impact on messages that were emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled. Even so, these messages are now _not_ emitted by default. This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl "/proc/sys/net/core/warnings". For backward compatibility, the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function. The extern declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c Miscellanea: o Update the sysctl documentation o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt o Coalesce format fragments o Realign arguments Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-11-11net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPUEric Dumazet
Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple queues. Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool. Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed. We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet is enough to solve the problem. After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around processes, applications can use : int cpu; socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu); getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len); And use this information to put the socket into the right silo for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

2014-11-10net: gro: add a per device gro flush timerEric Dumazet
Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard. Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal latencies. To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use : ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44 But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to 50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when a packet with TCP Push flag is received. Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every incoming packet. This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do, based on traffic pattern. Packets with Push flag wont be delayed. Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep receiving data. This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond. To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

2014-11-03net: less interrupt masking in NAPIEric Dumazet
net_rx_action() can mask irqs a single time to transfert sd->poll_list into a private list, for a very short duration. Then, napi_complete() can avoid masking irqs again, and net_rx_action() only needs to mask irq again in slow path. This patch removes 2 couples of irq mask/unmask per typical NAPI run, more if multiple napi were triggered. Note this also allows to give control back to caller (do_softirq()) more often, so that other softirq handlers can be called a bit earlier, or ksoftirqd can be wakeup earlier under pressure. This was developed while testing an alternative to RX interrupt mitigation to reduce latencies while keeping or improving GRO aggregation on fast NIC. Idea is to test napi->gro_list at the end of a napi->poll() and reschedule one NAPI poll, but after servicing a full round of softirqs (timers, TX, rcu, ...). This will be allowed only if softirq is currently serviced by idle task or ksoftirqd, and resched not needed.

This is illegal to use atomic_set(&page->_count, ...) even if we 'own' the page. Other entities in the kernel need to use get_page_unless_zero() to get a reference to the page before testing page properties, so we could loose a refcount increment. The only case it is valid is when page->_count is 0 Fixes: 540eb7bf0bbed ("net: Update alloc frag to reduce get/put page usage and recycle pages") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumaze <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-10-10flow-dissector: Fix alignment issue in __skb_flow_get_portsAlexander Duyck
This patch addresses a kernel unaligned access bug seen on a sparc64 system with an igb adapter. Specifically the __skb_flow_get_ports was returning a be32 pointer which was then having the value directly returned. In order to prevent this it is actually easier to simply not populate the ports or address values when an skb is not present. In this case the assumption is that the data isn't needed and rather than slow down the faster aligned accesses by making them have to assume the unaligned path on architectures that don't support efficent unaligned access it makes more sense to simply switch off the bits that were copying the source and destination address/port for the case where we only care about the protocol types and lengths which are normally 16 bit fields anyway.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

2014-10-06net: introduce netdevice gso_min_segs attributeEric Dumazet
Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet). This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC performance. Tested on a mlx4 NIC, this allows to get a ~110% increase of throughput when sending 2 MSS per packet. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
