Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in a write or receive queue when doing the various walks. After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done. Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs 3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb) This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in write queue. This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible. This also speeds up all sack processing in general. This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty shinfo. Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

While profiling TCP stack, I noticed one useless atomic operation in tcp_sendmsg(), caused by skb_header_release(). It turns out all current skb_header_release() users have a fresh skb, that no other user can see, so we can avoid one atomic operation. Introduce __skb_header_release() to clearly document this. This gave me a 1.5 % improvement on TCP_RR workload. Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Input path of TCP do not currently uses TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags, which is only used in output path. tcp_recvmsg(), looks at tcp_hdr(skb)->syn for every skb found in receive queue, and its unfortunate because this bit is located in a cache line right before the payload. We can simplify TCP by copying tcp flags into TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags. This patch does so, and avoids the cache line miss in tcp_recvmsg() Following patches will - allow a segment with FIN being coalesced in tcp_try_coalesce() - simplify tcp_collapse() by not copying the headers.

We don't know right timestamp for repaired skb-s. Wrong RTT estimations isn't good, because some congestion modules heavily depends on it.

TCP timestamping extends SO_TIMESTAMPING to bytestreams. Bytestreams do not have a 1:1 relationship between send() buffers and network packets. The feature interprets a send call on a bytestream as a request for a timestamp for the last byte in that send() buffer. The choice corresponds to a request for a timestamp when all bytes in the buffer have been sent. That assumption depends on in-order kernel transmission. This is the common case. That said, it is possible to construct a traffic shaping tree that would result in reordering. The guarantee is strong, then, but not ironclad. This implementation supports send and sendpages (splice). GSO replaces one large packet with multiple smaller packets. This patch also copies the option into the correct smaller packet. This patch does not yet support timestamping on data in an initial TCP Fast Open SYN, because that takes a very different data path. If ID generation in ee_data is enabled, bytestream timestamps return a byte offset, instead of the packet counter for datagrams. The implementation supports a single timestamp per packet. It silenty replaces requests for previous timestamps. To avoid missing tstamps, flush the tcp queue by disabling Nagle, cork and autocork. Missing tstamps can be detected by offset when the ee_data ID is enabled. Implementation details: - On GSO, the timestamping code can be included in the main loop. I moved it into its own loop to reduce the impact on the common case to a single branch. - To avoid leaking the absolute seqno to userspace, the offset returned in ee_data must always be relative. It is an offset between an skb and sk field. The first is always set (also for GSO & ACK). The second must also never be uninitialized. Only allow the ID option on sockets in the ESTABLISHED state, for which the seqno is available. Never reset it to zero (instead, move it to the current seqno when reenabling the option).

When exiting tcp_sendmsg and a push is not required, which is the case for tp->repair, we go to this label. When repairing and calling send() with TCP_RECV_QUEUE, the data is actually put in the receive-queue. So, no push is required because no data has been added to the send-queue.

Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days. FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt' TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility : tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution, so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.

Willem noticed a TCP_RR regression caused by TCP autocorking on a Mellanox test bed. MLX4_EN_TX_COAL_TIME is 16 us, which can be right above RTT between hosts. We can receive a ACK for a packet still in NIC TX ring buffer or in a softnet completion queue. Fix this by always pushing the skb if it is at the head of write queue. Also, as TX completion is lockless, it's safer to perform sk_wmem_alloc test after setting TSQ_THROTTLED. erd:~# MIB="MIN_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY" erd:~# ./netperf -H remote -t TCP_RR -- -o $MIB | tail -n 1 (repeat 3 times) Before patch : 18,1049.87,41004,39631,6295.47 17,239.52,40804,48,2912.79 18,348.40,40877,54,3573.39 After patch : 18,22.84,4606,38,16.39 17,21.56,2871,36,13.51 17,22.46,2705,37,11.83 Reported-by: NWillem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Fixes: f54b3111 ("tcp: auto corking") Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets. Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes) If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push will be delayed up to TX completion time. This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls. The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring. Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of autocorking being triggered. Add a new sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking) to control this feature and default it to 1 (enabled) Add a new SNMP counter : nstat -a | grep TcpExtTCPAutoCorking This counter is incremented every time we detected skb was under used and its flush was deferred.

After commit c9eeec26 ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi adapters. 802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective. This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit() so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes. It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway. Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq), can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from 128KB to 8KB. This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set to a minimum of 4KB. Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible, but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

TCP listener refactoring, part 3 : Our goal is to hash SYN_RECV sockets into main ehash for fast lookup, and parallel SYN processing. Current inet_ehash_bucket contains two chains, one for ESTABLISH (and friend states) sockets, another for TIME_WAIT sockets only. As the hash table is sized to get at most one socket per bucket, it makes little sense to have separate twchain, as it makes the lookup slightly more complicated, and doubles hash table memory usage. If we make sure all socket types have the lookup keys at the same offsets, we can use a generic and faster lookup. It turns out TIME_WAIT and ESTABLISHED sockets already have common lookup fields for IPv4. [ INET_TW_MATCH() is no longer needed ] I'll provide a follow-up to factorize IPv6 lookup as well, to remove INET6_TW_MATCH() This way, SYN_RECV pseudo sockets will be supported the same. A new sock_gen_put() helper is added, doing either a sock_put() or inet_twsk_put() [ and will support SYN_RECV later ]. Note this helper should only be called in real slow path, when rcu lookup found a socket that was moved to another identity (freed/reused immediately), but could eventually be used in other contexts, like sock_edemux() Before patch : dmesg | grep "TCP established" TCP established hash table entries: 524288 (order: 11, 8388608 bytes) After patch : TCP established hash table entries: 524288 (order: 10, 4194304 bytes) Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: NYuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: NNeal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

GSO TCP handler has following issues : 1) ooo_okay from original GSO packet is duplicated to all segments 2) segments (but the last one) are orphaned, so transmit path can not get transmit queue number from the socket. This happens if GSO segmentation is done before stacked device for example. Result is we can send packets from a given TCP flow to different TX queues (if using multiqueue NICS). This generates OOO problems and spurious SACK & retransmits. Fix this by keeping socket pointer set for all segments. This means that every segment must also have a destructor, and the original gso skb truesize must be split on all segments, to keep precise sk->sk_wmem_alloc accounting.

I noticed that TSQ (TCP Small queues) was less effective when TSO is turned off, and GSO is on. If BQL is not enabled, TSQ has then no effect. It turns out the GSO engine frees the original gso_skb at the time the fragments are generated and queued to the NIC. We should instead call the tcp_wfree() destructor for the last fragment, to keep the flow control as intended in TSQ. This effectively limits the number of queued packets on qdisc + NIC layers.
