      [NET]: change layout of ehash table · dbca9b27
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      ehash table layout is currently this one :
      
      First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state
      Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state.
      
      This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads 
      are located in separate cache lines.
      Moreover the locks of the second half are never used.
      
      If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead 
      of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage, 
      particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, 
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep 
      together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change.
      
      In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future 
      patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two 
      or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE).
      I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so 
      maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket...
      
      Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could 
      probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages()) 
      to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last 
      quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'.
      
      Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.

      WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data · 65f27f38
      David Howells 提交于
      Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
      The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
      
      For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
      pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
      structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
      
      To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
      work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
      
      Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
      scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
      work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
      that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
      else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
      problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
      
      However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
      function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
      with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
      work_struct by calling work_release().
      
      In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
      initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

      [INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookups · 81c3d547
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
      pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)
      
      (The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
      so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)
      
      1) First some performance data :
      --------------------------------
      
      tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()
      
      The most time critical code is :
      
      sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
           if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
               goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
      }
      
      The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
      "struct sock" is prefetched.
      
      As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
      away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
      cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
      lines.
      
      This can be problematic if some chains are very long.
      
      2) The goal
      -----------
      
      The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
      FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
      using one cache line per iteration.
      
      3) Description of the patch
      ---------------------------
      
      Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
      filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.
      
      struct sock_common {
      	unsigned short		skc_family;
      	volatile unsigned char	skc_state;
      	unsigned char		skc_reuse;
      	int			skc_bound_dev_if;
      	struct hlist_node	skc_node;
      	struct hlist_node	skc_bind_node;
      	atomic_t		skc_refcnt;
      +	unsigned int		skc_hash;
      	struct proto		*skc_prot;
      };
      
      Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
      1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
      permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
      line in case of a miss.
      
      Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
      sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
      (ehash_size - 1)
      
      File include/net/inet_hashtables.h
      
      64 bits platforms :
      #define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
           (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
           ((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie))   &&  \
           ((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports))   &&  \
           (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
      
      32bits platforms:
      #define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
           (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))                 &&  \
           (inet_sk(__sk)->daddr          == (__saddr))   &&  \
           (inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr      == (__daddr))   &&  \
           (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
      
      
      - Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in 
      __inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and 
      __inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and 
      __dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the 
      list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);
