      net: arp: introduce arp_evict_nocarrier sysctl parameter · fcdb44d0
      James Prestwood 提交于
      This change introduces a new sysctl parameter, arp_evict_nocarrier.
      When set (default) the ARP cache will be cleared on a NOCARRIER event.
      This new option has been defaulted to '1' which maintains existing
      behavior.
      
      Clearing the ARP cache on NOCARRIER is relatively new, introduced by:
      
      commit 859bd2ef

          net: Evict neighbor entries on carrier down
      
      The reason for this changes is to prevent the ARP cache from being
      cleared when a wireless device roams. Specifically for wireless roams
      the ARP cache should not be cleared because the underlying network has not
      changed. Clearing the ARP cache in this case can introduce significant
      delays sending out packets after a roam.
      
      A user reported such a situation here:
      
      https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/CACsRnHWa47zpx3D1oDq9JYnZWniS8yBwW1h0WAVZ6vrbwL_S0w@mail.gmail.com/
      
      After some investigation it was found that the kernel was holding onto
      packets until ARP finished which resulted in this 1 second delay. It
      was also found that the first ARP who-has was never responded to,
      which is actually what caues the delay. This change is more or less
      working around this behavior, but again, there is no reason to clear
      the cache on a roam anyways.
      
      As for the unanswered who-has, we know the packet made it OTA since
      it was seen while monitoring. Why it never received a response is
      unknown. In any case, since this is a problem on the AP side of things
      all that can be done is to work around it until it is solved.
      
      Some background on testing/reproducing the packet delay:
      
      Hardware:
       - 2 access points configured for Fast BSS Transition (Though I don't
         see why regular reassociation wouldn't have the same behavior)
       - Wireless station running IWD as supplicant
       - A device on network able to respond to pings (I used one of the APs)
      
      Procedure:
       - Connect to first AP
       - Ping once to establish an ARP entry
       - Start a tcpdump
       - Roam to second AP
       - Wait for operstate UP event, and note the timestamp
       - Start pinging
      
      Results:
      
      Below is the tcpdump after UP. It was recorded the interface went UP at
      10:42:01.432875.

      You can see the first ARP who-has went out very quickly after UP, but
      was never responded to. Nearly a second later the kernel retries and
      gets a response. Only then do the ping packets go out. If an ARP entry
      is manually added prior to UP (after the cache is cleared) it is seen
      that the first ping is never responded to, so its not only an issue with
      ARP but with data packets in general.
      
      As mentioned prior, the wireless interface was also monitored to verify
      the ping/ARP packet made it OTA which was observed to be true.

      net: avoid double accounting for pure zerocopy skbs · f1a456f8
      Talal Ahmad 提交于
      Track skbs with only zerocopy data and avoid charging them to kernel
      memory to correctly account the memory utilization for msg_zerocopy.
      All of the data in such skbs is held in user pages which are already
      accounted to user. Before this change, they are charged again in
      kernel in __zerocopy_sg_from_iter. The charging in kernel is
      excessive because data is not being copied into skb frags. This
      excessive charging can lead to kernel going into memory pressure
      state which impacts all sockets in the system adversely. Mark pure
      zerocopy skbs with a SKBFL_PURE_ZEROCOPY flag and remove
      charge/uncharge for data in such skbs.
      
      Initially, an skb is marked pure zerocopy when it is empty and in
      zerocopy path. skb can then change from a pure zerocopy skb to mixed
      data skb (zerocopy and copy data) if it is at tail of write queue and
      there is room available in it and non-zerocopy data is being sent in
      the next sendmsg call. At this time sk_mem_charge is done for the pure
      zerocopied data and the pure zerocopy flag is unmarked. We found that
      this happens very rarely on workloads that pass MSG_ZEROCOPY.
      
      A pure zerocopy skb can later be coalesced into normal skb if they are
      next to each other in queue but this patch prevents coalescing from
      happening. This avoids complexity of charging when skb downgrades from
      pure zerocopy to mixed. This is also rare.
      
      In sk_wmem_free_skb, if it is a pure zerocopy skb, an sk_mem_uncharge
      for SKB_TRUESIZE(MAX_TCP_HEADER) is done for sk_mem_charge in
      tcp_skb_entail for an skb without data.
      
      Testing with the msg_zerocopy.c benchmark between two hosts(100G nics)
      with zerocopy showed that before this patch the 'sock' variable in
      memory.stat for cgroup2 that tracks sum of sk_forward_alloc,
      sk_rmem_alloc and sk_wmem_queued is around 1822720 and with this
      change it is 0. This is due to no charge to sk_forward_alloc for
      zerocopy data and shows memory utilization for kernel is lowered.
