2007-11-14[NET]: rt_check_expire() can take a long time, add a cond_resched()Eric Dumazet
On commit 39c90ece7565f5c47110c2fa77409d7a9478bd5b: [IPV4]: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue. we converted rt_check_expire() from softirq to workqueue, allowing the function to perform all work it was supposed to do. When the IP route cache is big, rt_check_expire() can take a long time to run. (default settings : 20% of the hash table is scanned at each invocation) Adding cond_resched() helps giving cpu to higher priority tasks if necessary. Using a "if (need_resched())" test before calling "cond_resched();" is necessary to avoid spending too much time doing the resched check. (My tests gave a time reduction from 88 ms to 25 ms per rt_check_expire() run on my i686 test machine) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-11-14[TCP] FRTO: Clear frto_highmark only after process_frto that uses itIlpo Järvinen
I broke this in commit 3de96471bd7fb76406e975ef6387abe3a0698149: [TCP]: Wrap-safed reordering detection FRTO check tcp_process_frto should always see a valid frto_highmark. An invalid frto_highmark (zero) is very likely what ultimately caused a seqno compare in tcp_frto_enter_loss to do the wrong leading to the LOST-bit leak. Having LOST-bits integry ensured like done after commit 23aeeec365dcf8bc87fae44c533e50d0bb4f23cc: [TCP] FRTO: Plug potential LOST-bit leak won't hurt.

2007-11-14[TCP]: Make sure write_queue_from does not begin with NULL ptrIlpo Järvinen
NULL ptr can be returned from tcp_write_queue_head to cached_skb and then assigned to skb if packets_out was zero. Without this, system is vulnerable to a carefully crafted ACKs which obviously is remotely triggerable. Besides, there's very little that needs to be done in sacktag if there weren't any packets outstanding, just skipping the rest doesn't hurt.

2007-11-13[TCP] FRTO: Limit snd_cwnd if TCP was application limitedIlpo Järvinen
Otherwise TCP might violate packet ordering principles that FRTO is based on. If conventional recovery path is chosen, this won't be significant at all. In practice, any small enough value will be sufficient to provide proper operation for FRTO, yet other users of snd_cwnd might benefit from a "close enough" value. FRTO's formula is now equal to what tcp_enter_cwr() uses. FRTO used to check application limitedness a bit differently but I changed that in commit 575ee7140dabe9b9c4f66f4f867039b97e548867 and as a result checking for application limitedness became completely non-existing.

2007-11-10[TCP]: Split SACK FRTO flag clearing (fixes FRTO corner case bug)Ilpo Järvinen
In case we run out of mem when fragmenting, the clearing of FLAG_ONLY_ORIG_SACKED might get missed which then feeds FRTO with false information. Move clearing outside skb processing loop so that it will get executed even if the skb loop terminates prematurely due to out-of-mem.

2007-11-10[TCP]: Fix reord detection due to snd_una covered holesIlpo Järvinen
Fixes subtle bug like the one with fastpath_cnt_hint happening due to the way the GSO and hints interact. Because hints are not reset when just a GSOed skb is partially ACKed, there's no guarantee that the relevant part of the write queue is going to be processed in sacktag at all (skbs below snd_una) because fastpath hint can fast forward the entrypoint. This was also on the way of future reductions in sacktag's skb processing. Also future cleanups in sacktag can be made after this (in 2.6.25). This may make reordering update in tcp_try_undo_partial redundant but I'm not too sure so I left it there. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-11-07[INET]: Remove per bucket rwlock in tcp/dccp ehash table.Eric Dumazet
As done two years ago on IP route cache table (commit 22c047ccbc68fa8f3fa57f0e8f906479a062c426) , we can avoid using one lock per hash bucket for the huge TCP/DCCP hash tables. On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses. Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings. This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.

2007-11-07[IPVS]: Synchronize closing of ConnectionsRumen G. Bogdanovski
This patch makes the master daemon to sync the connection when it is about to close. This makes the connections on the backup to close or timeout according their state. Before the sync was performed only if the connection is in ESTABLISHED state which always made the connections to timeout in the hard coded 3 minutes. However the Andy Gospodarek's patch ([IPVS]: use proper timeout instead of fixed value) effectively did nothing more than increasing this to 15 minutes (Established state timeout). So this patch makes use of proper timeout since it syncs the connections on status changes to FIN_WAIT (2min timeout) and CLOSE (10sec timeout). However if the backup misses CLOSE hopefully it did not miss FIN_WAIT. Otherwise we will just have to wait for the ESTABLISHED state timeout. As it is without this patch. This way the number of the hanging connections on the backup is kept to minimum. And very few of them will be left to timeout with a long timeout. This is important if we want to make use of the fix for the real server overcommit on master/backup fail-over. Signed-off-by: Rumen G.

2007-11-07[IPVS]: Bind connections on stanby if the destination existsRumen G. Bogdanovski
This patch fixes the problem with node overload on director fail-over. Given the scenario: 2 nodes each accepting 3 connections at a time and 2 directors, director failover occurs when the nodes are fully loaded (6 connections to the cluster) in this case the new director will assign another 6 connections to the cluster, If the same real servers exist there. The problem turned to be in not binding the inherited connections to the real servers (destinations) on the backup director. Therefore: "ipvsadm -l" reports 0 connections: root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP test2.local:5999 wlc -> node473.local:5999 Route 1000 0 0 -> node484.local:5999 Route 1000 0 0 while "ipvs -lnc" is right root@test2:~# ipvsadm -lnc IPVS connection entries pro expire state source virtual destination TCP 14:56 ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39164 192.168.0.222:5999 192.168.0.51:5999 TCP 14:59 ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39165 192.168.0.222:5999 192.168.0.52:5999 So the patch I am sending fixes the problem by binding the received connections to the appropriate service on the backup director, if it exists, else the connection will be handled the old way. So if the master and the backup directors are synchronized in terms of real services there will be no problem with server over-committing since new connections will not be created on the nonexistent real services on the backup. However if the service is created later on the backup, the binding will be performed when the next connection update is received. With this patch the inherited connections will show as inactive on the backup: root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP test2.local:5999 wlc -> node473.local:5999 Route 1000 0 1 -> node484.local:5999 Route 1000 0 1 rumen@test2:~$ cat /proc/net/ip_vs IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP C0A800DE:176F wlc -> C0A80033:176F Route 1000 0 1 -> C0A80032:176F Route 1000 0 1 Regards, Rumen Bogdanovski Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Rumen G.

2007-11-07[NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA ā†µEric Dumazet
way. "struct proto" currently uses an array stats[NR_CPUS] to track change on 'inuse' sockets per protocol. If NR_CPUS is big, this means we use a big memory area for this. Moreover, all this memory area is located on a single node on NUMA machines, increasing memory pressure on the boot node. In this patch, I tried to : - Keep a fast !CONFIG_SMP implementation - Keep a fast CONFIG_SMP implementation for often used protocols (tcp,udp,raw,...) - Introduce a NUMA efficient implementation Some helper macros are defined in include/net/sock.h These macros take into account CONFIG_SMP If a "struct proto" is declared without using DEFINE_PROTO_INUSE / REF_PROTO_INUSE macros, it will automatically use a default implementation, using a dynamically allocated percpu zone. This default implementation will be NUMA efficient, but might use 32/64 bytes per possible cpu because of current alloc_percpu() implementation. However it still should be better than previous implementation based on stats[NR_CPUS] field. When a "struct proto" is changed to use the new macros, we use a single static "int" percpu variable, lowering the memory and cpu costs, still preserving NUMA efficiency.

2007-11-01[TCP]: Process DSACKs that reside within a SACK blockIlpo Järvinen
DSACK inside another SACK block were missed if start_seq of DSACK was larger than SACK block's because sorting prioritizes full processing of the SACK block before DSACK. After SACK block sorting situation is like this: SSSSSSSSS D SSSSSS SSSSSSS Because write_queue is walked in-order, when the first SACK block has been processed, TCP is already past the skb for which the DSACK arrived and we haven't taught it to backtrack (nor should we), so TCP just continues processing by going to the next SACK block after the DSACK (if any). Whenever such DSACK is present, do an embedded checking during the previous SACK block. If the DSACK is below snd_una, there won't be overlapping SACK block, and thus no problem in that case. Also if start_seq of the DSACK is equal to the actual block, it will be processed first. Tested this by using netem to duplicate 15% of packets, and by printing SACK block when found_dup_sack is true and the selected skb in the dup_sack = 1 branch (if taken): SACK block 0: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317) SACK block 1: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317) equal start seqnos => next_dup = 0, dup_sack = 1 won't occur... SACK block 0: 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061) SACK block 1: 2896-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061) DSACK skb match 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una) ...and next_dup = 1 case (after the not shown start_seq sort), went to dup_sack = 1 branch.

2007-10-30[NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.David S. Miller
This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256 [CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry. The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end(). After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is what all of the callers would end up doing anyways. I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec(). Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to __sg_mark_end() as well. Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is what led to these bugs in the first place. The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable() and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-30[TCP]: Saner thash_entries default with much memory.Jean Delvare
On systems with a very large amount of memory, the heuristics in alloc_large_system_hash() result in a very large TCP established hash table: 16 millions of entries for a 128 GB ia64 system. This makes reading from /proc/net/tcp pretty slow (well over a second) and as a result netstat is slow on these machines. I know that /proc/net/tcp is deprecated in favor of tcp_diag, however at the moment netstat only knows of the former. I am skeptical that such a large TCP established hash is often needed. Just because a system has a lot of memory doesn't imply that it will have several millions of concurrent TCP connections. Thus I believe that we should put an arbitrary high limit to the size of the TCP established hash by default. Users who really need a bigger hash can always use the thash_entries boot parameter to get more. I propose 2 millions of entries as the arbitrary high limit. This makes /proc/net/tcp reasonably fast on the system in question (0.2 s) while being still large enough for me to be confident that network performance won't suffer. This is just one way to limit the hash size, there are others; I am not familiar enough with the TCP code to decide which is best. Thus, I would welcome the proposals of alternatives. [ 2 million is still too large, thus I've modified the limit in the change to be '512 * 1024'. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-26[NetLabel]: correct usage of RCU lockingPaul Moore
This fixes some awkward, and perhaps even problematic, RCU lock usage in the NetLabel code as well as some other related trivial cleanups found when looking through the RCU locking. Most of the changes involve removing the redundant RCU read locks wrapping spinlocks in the case of a RCU writer. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
