      netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant · f3c5c1bf
      Jan Engelhardt 提交于
      Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset
      itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback:
      the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for
      targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might
      be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can
      possibly invoke ip6t_do_table.
      
      This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead
      puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom'
      anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room
      allocated for two entries into the traverser.
      
      arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two
      modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser
      anyhow.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      netfilter: iptables: lock free counters · 78454473
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
      processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
      a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:
      
      1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
         This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
         replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
         after RCU period.
      
      2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
         This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
         then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
         cpu.  On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
         times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.

      Sucessfully tested on my dual quad core machine too, but iptables only (no ipv6 here)
      BTW, my new "tbench 8" result is 2450 MB/s, (it was 2150 MB/s not so long ago)
