tcp: switch to GSO being always on
Oleksandr Natalenko reported performance issues with BBR without FQ packet scheduler that were root caused to lack of SG and GSO/TSO on his configuration. In this mode, TCP internal pacing has to setup a high resolution timer for each MSS sent. We could implement in TCP a strategy similar to the one adopted in commit fefa569a ("net_sched: sch_fq: account for schedule/timers drifts") or decide to finally switch TCP stack to a GSO only mode. This has many benefits : 1) Most TCP developments are done with TSO in mind. 2) Less high-resolution timers needs to be armed for TCP-pacing 3) GSO can benefit of xmit_more hint 4) Receiver GRO is more effective (as if TSO was used for real on sender) -> Lower ACK traffic 5) Write queues have less overhead (one skb holds about 64KB of payload) 6) SACK coalescing just works. 7) rtx rb-tree contains less packets, SACK is cheaper. This patch implements the minimum patch, but we can remove some legacy code as follow ups. Tested: On 40Gbit link, one netperf -t TCP_STREAM BBR+fq: sg on: 26 Gbits/sec sg off: 15.7 Gbits/sec (was 2.3 Gbit before patch) BBR+pfifo_fast: sg on: 24.2 Gbits/sec sg off: 14.9 Gbits/sec (was 0.66 Gbit before patch !!! ) BBR+fq_codel: sg on: 24.4 Gbits/sec sg off: 15 Gbits/sec (was 0.66 Gbit before patch !!! ) Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: NOleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@natalenko.name> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
