This patch reduces timer events while keeping accuracy by rounding our timer and/or batching several address validations in addrconf_verify(). addrconf_verify() is called at earliest timeout among interface addresses' timeouts, but at maximum ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY (120 secs). In most cases, all of timeouts of interface addresses are long enough (e.g. several hours or days vs 2 minutes), this timer is usually called every ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY, and it is okay to be lazy. (Note this timer could be eliminated if all code paths which modifies variables related to timeouts call us manually, but it is another story.) However, in other least but important cases, we try keeping accuracy. When the real interface address timeout is coming, and the timeout is just before the rounded timeout, we accept some error. When a timeout has been reached, we also try batching other several events in very near future. Signed-off-by: NYOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both). This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return. The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is available to satisfy the read. Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode. Signed-off-by: NSteven J.

mfc_parent of cache entries is used to index into the vif_table and is initialised from mfcctl->mfcc_parent. This can take values of to 2^16-1, while the vif_table has only MAXVIFS (32) entries. The same problem affects ip6mr. Refuse invalid values to fix a potential out-of-bounds access.

Xfrm_dst keeps a reference to ipv4 rtable entries on each cached bundle. The only way to renew xfrm_dst when the underlying route has changed, is to implement dst_check for this. This is what ipv6 side does too. The problems started after 87c1e12b ("ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi") which fixed a bug causing xfrm_dst to not get reused, until that all lookups always generated new xfrm_dst with new route reference and path mtu worked. But after the fix, the old routes started to get reused even after they were expired causing pmtu to break (well it would occationally work if the rtable gc had run recently and marked the route obsolete causing dst_check to get called).

Originally intended as a means of avoiding wasted work in retransmitting messages that were still on the driver's outbound queue, it also prevented TIPC from retransmitting messages through other means -- such as the secondary bearer of the broadcast link, or another interface in a set of bonded interfaces. This fix removes existing checks for cloned sk_buffs that prevented such retransmission.

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs. Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores. This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support. Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis (e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps. Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when steering it to a remote CPU. The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable /sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0). Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization. e1000e on 8 core Intel Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU forcedeth on 16 core AMD Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU bnx2x on 16 core AMD Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues) With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Caveats: - The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy. Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary. - This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation. We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this. - The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's probably best not change the masks too frequently.
