      tcp: use TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags in input path · e11ecddf
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.

      tcp: don't use timestamp from repaired skb-s to calculate RTT (v2) · 9d186cac
      Andrey Vagin 提交于
      We don't know right timestamp for repaired skb-s. Wrong RTT estimations
      isn't good, because some congestion modules heavily depends on it.
      
      This patch adds the TCPCB_REPAIRED flag, which is included in
      TCPCB_RETRANS.
      
      Thanks to Eric for the advice how to fix this issue.

      net-timestamp: TCP timestamping · 4ed2d765
      Willem de Bruijn 提交于
      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).

      This can easily be reproduced with the following packetdrill-script (the
      "magic" with netem, sk_pacing and limit_output_bytes is done to prevent
      the kernel from pushing all segments, because hitting the limit without
      doing this is not so easy with packetdrill):
      
      0   socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3

      +0  accept(3, ..., ...) = 4
      
      // This forces that not all segments of the snd-queue will be pushed
      +0 `tc qdisc add dev tun0 root netem delay 10ms`
      +0 `sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes=2`

      // This now will make the write push the remaining segments

      +0 `sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes=130000`
      
      // Now we will crash
      +0 write(4,...,1000) = 1000
      
      This happens since ec342325 (tcp: fix retransmission in repair
      mode). Prior to that, the call to tcp_push was prevented by a check for
      tp->repair.
      
      The patch fixes it, by adding the new goto-label out_nopush. 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.

      tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution · 740b0f18
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.

      tcp: autocork should not hold first packet in write queue · a181ceb5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.

      tcp: auto corking · f54b3111
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.
      
      Tested:
      
      Interesting effects when using line buffered commands under ssh.
      
      Excellent performance results in term of cpu usage and total throughput.

      tcp: tsq: restore minimal amount of queueing · 98e09386
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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/dccp: remove twchain · 05dbc7b5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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()

      dmesg | grep "TCP established"
      
      TCP established hash table entries: 524288 (order: 11, 8388608 bytes)

      tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing · 95bd09eb
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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

      tcp: set timestamps for restored skb-s · 7ed5c5ae
      Andrey Vagin 提交于
      When the repair mode is turned off, the write queue seqs are
      updated so that the whole queue is considered to be 'already sent.
      
      The "when" field must be set for such skb. It's used in tcp_rearm_rto
      for example. If the "when" field isn't set, the retransmit timeout can
      be calculated incorrectly and a tcp connected can stop for two minutes
      (TCP_RTO_MAX).

      tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option · c9bee3b7
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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)

      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

      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

      Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage
      of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.
      
      A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount
      of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing.

      net: add sk_stream_is_writeable() helper · 64dc6130
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Several call sites use the hardcoded following condition :
      
      sk_stream_wspace(sk) >= sk_stream_min_wspace(sk)
      
      Lets use a helper because TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT support will change this
      condition for TCP sockets.

      MPLS: Add limited GSO support · 0d89d203
      Simon Horman 提交于
      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.

      tcp: md5: remove spinlock usage in fast path · 71cea17e
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      TCP md5 code uses per cpu variables but protects access to them with
      a shared spinlock, which is a contention point.
      
      [ tcp_md5sig_pool_lock is locked twice per incoming packet ]
      
      Makes things much simpler, by allocating crypto structures once, first
      time a socket needs md5 keys, and not deallocating them as they are
      really small.
      
      Next step would be to allow crypto allocations being done in a NUMA
      aware way.

      tcp: gso: do not generate out of order packets · 6ff50cd5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.

      tcp: GSO should be TSQ friendly · d6a4a104
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.

      tcp: Remove TCPCT · 1a2c6181
      Christoph Paasch 提交于
      TCPCT uses option-number 253, reserved for experimental use and should
      not be used in production environments.
      Further, TCPCT does not fully implement RFC 6013.
      
      As a nice side-effect, removing TCPCT increases TCP's performance for
      very short flows:
