Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net_sched: defer skb freeing while changing qdiscs qdiscs/classes are changed under RTNL protection and often while blocking BH and root qdisc spinlock. When lots of skbs need to be dropped, we free them under these locks causing TX/RX freezes, and more generally latency spikes. I saw spikes of 50+ ms on quite fast hardware... This patch series adds a simple queue protected by RTNL where skbs can be placed until RTNL is released. Note that this might also serve in the future for optional reinjection of packets when a qdisc is replaced. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

qdisc are changed under RTNL protection and often while blocking BH and root qdisc spinlock. When lots of skbs need to be dropped, we free them under these locks causing TX/RX freezes, and more generally latency spikes. This commit adds rtnl_kfree_skbs(), used to queue skbs for deferred freeing. Actual freeing happens right after RTNL is released, with appropriate scheduling points. rtnl_qdisc_drop() can also be used in place of disc_drop() when RTNL is held. qdisc_reset_queue() and __qdisc_reset_queue() get the new behavior, so standard qdiscs like pfifo, pfifo_fast... have their ->reset() method automatically handled.

TIPC based clusters are by default set up with full-mesh link connectivity between all nodes. Those links are expected to provide a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure discovery tolerance. This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm, background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead of as before 399. This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows: - Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm must be the same on all nodes. - The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is called its "local monitoring domain". - It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages (LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about its monitoring domain. - Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change. - A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone. - Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors, each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone. - A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss. To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain "heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this, each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes. - As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from unnecessarily conveying unaltered domain records, and receivers from performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such as re-assigning domain heads. - As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32) the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly. - This change is fully backwards compatible.

Michael S. Tsirkin says: ==================== skb_array: array based FIFO for skbs This is in response to the proposal by Jason to make tun rx packet queue lockless using a circular buffer. My testing seems to show that at least for the common usecase in networking, which isn't lockless, circular buffer with indices does not perform that well, because each index access causes a cache line to bounce between CPUs, and index access causes stalls due to the dependency. By comparison, an array of pointers where NULL means invalid and !NULL means valid, can be updated without messing up barriers at all and does not have this issue. On the flip side, cache pressure may be caused by using large queues. tun has a queue of 1000 entries by default and that's 8K. At this point I'm not sure this can be solved efficiently. The correct solution might be sizing the queues appropriately. Here's an implementation of this idea: it can be used more or less whenever sk_buff_head can be used, except you need to know the queue size in advance. As this might be useful outside of networking, I implemented a generic array of void pointers, with a type-safe wrapper for skbs. It remains to be seen whether resizing is required, in case it is I included patches implementing resizing by holding both the consumer and the producer locks. I think this code works fine without any extra memory barriers since we always read and write the same location, so the accesses can not be reordered. Multiple writes of the same value into memory would mess things up for us, I don't think compilers would do it though. But if people feel it's better to be safe wrt compiler optimizations, specifying queue as volatile would probably do it in a cleaner way than converting all accesses to READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE. Thoughts? The only issue is with calls within a loop using the __ptr_ring_XXX accessors - in theory compiler could hoist accesses out of the loop. Following volatile-considered-harmful.txt I merely documented that callers that busy-poll should invoke cpu_relax(). Most people will use the external skb_array_XXX APIs with a spinlock, so this should not be an issue for them. Eric Dumazet suggested adding an extra pointer to skb for when we have a single outstanding packet. I could not figure out a way to implement this without a shared consumer/producer lock though, which would cause cache line bounces by itself. Jesper, Jason, I know that both of you tested this, please post Tested-by tags for whatever was tested. changes since v7 fix typos noticed by Jesper Brouer changes since v6 resize implemented. peek/full calls are no longer lockless replaced _FIELD macros with _CALL which invoke a function on the pointer rather than just returning a value destroy now scans the array and frees all queued skbs changes since v5 implemented a generic ptr_ring api, and made skb_array a type-safe wrapper apis for taking the spinlock in different contexts following expected usecase in tun changes since v4 (v3 was never posted) documentation dropped SKB_ARRAY_MIN_SIZE heuristic unit test (in userspace, included as patch 2) changes since v2: fixed integer overflow pointed out by Eric. added some comments. changes since v1: fixed bug pointed out by Eric. ==================== Tested-by: NJesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This adds ring resize support. Seems to be necessary as users such as tun allow userspace control over queue size. If resize is used, this costs us ability to peek at queue without consumer lock - should not be a big deal as peek and consumer are usually run on the same CPU. If ring is made bigger, ring contents is preserved. If ring is made smaller, extra pointers are passed to an optional destructor callback. Cleanup function also gains destructor callback such that all pointers in queue can be cleaned up. This changes some APIs but we don't have any users yet, so it won't break bisect.

IPv6 multicast and link-local addresses require special handling by the VRF driver: 1. Rather than using the VRF device index and full FIB lookups, packets to/from these addresses should use direct FIB lookups based on the VRF device table. 2. fail sends/receives on a VRF device to/from a multicast address (e.g, make ping6 ff02::1%<vrf> fail) 3. move the setting of the flow oif to the first dst lookup and revert the change in icmpv6_echo_reply made in ca254490 ("net: Add VRF support to IPv6 stack").

Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== RDS: multiple connection paths for scaling Today RDS-over-TCP is implemented by demux-ing multiple PF_RDS sockets between any 2 endpoints (where endpoint == [IP address, port]) over a single TCP socket between the 2 IP addresses involved. This has the limitation that it ends up funneling multiple RDS flows over a single TCP flow, thus the rds/tcp connection is (a) upper-bounded to the single-flow bandwidth, (b) suffers from head-of-line blocking for the RDS sockets. Better throughput (for a fixed small packet size, MTU) can be achieved by having multiple TCP/IP flows per rds/tcp connection, i.e., multipathed RDS (mprds). Each such TCP/IP flow constitutes a path for the rds/tcp connection. RDS sockets will be attached to a path based on some hash (e.g., of local address and RDS port number) and packets for that RDS socket will be sent over the attached path using TCP to segment/reassemble RDS datagrams on that path. The table below, generated using a prototype that implements mprds, shows that this is significant for scaling to 40G. Packet sizes used were: 8K byte req, 256 byte resp. MTU: 1500. The parameters for RDS-concurrency used below are described in the rds-stress(1) man page- the number listed is proportional to the number of threads at which max throughput was attained. ------------------------------------------------------------------- RDS-concurrency Num of tx+rx K/s (iops) throughput (-t N -d N) TCP paths ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 1 600K - 700K 4 Gbps 28 8 5000K - 6000K 32 Gbps ------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ: what is the relation between mprds and mptcp? mprds is orthogonal to mptcp. Whereas mptcp creates sub-flows for a single TCP connection, mprds parallelizes tx/rx at the RDS layer. MPRDS with N paths will allow N datagrams to be sent in parallel; each path will continue to send one datagram at a time, with sender and receiver keeping track of the retransmit and dgram-assembly state based on the RDS header. If desired, mptcp can additionally be used to speed up each TCP path. That acceleration is orthogonal to the parallelization benefits of mprds. This patch series lays down the foundational data-structures to support mprds in the kernel. It implements the changes to split up the rds_connection structure into a common (to all paths) part, and a per-path rds_conn_path. All I/O workqs are driven from the rds_conn_path. Note that this patchset does not (yet) actually enable multipathing for any of the transports; all transports will continue to use a single path with the refactored data-structures. A subsequent patchset will add the changes to the rds-tcp module to actually use mprds in rds-tcp. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
