Because of the risk of an excessive number of NACK messages and retransissions, receivers have until now abstained from sending broadcast NACKS directly upon detection of a packet sequence number gap. We have instead relied on such gaps being detected by link protocol STATE message exchange, something that by necessity delays such detection and subsequent retransmissions. With the introduction of unicast NACK transmission and rate control of retransmissions we can now remove this limitation. We now allow receiving nodes to send NACKS immediately, while coordinating the permission to do so among the nodes in order to avoid NACK storms.

As cluster sizes grow, so does the amount of identical or overlapping broadcast NACKs generated by the packet receivers. This often leads to 'NACK crunches' resulting in huge numbers of redundant retransmissions of the same packet ranges. In this commit, we introduce rate control of broadcast retransmissions, so that a retransmitted range cannot be retransmitted again until after at least 10 ms. This reduces the frequency of duplicate, redundant retransmissions by an order of magnitude, while having a significant positive impact on overall throughput and scalability.

由 Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
When we send broadcasts in clusters of more 70-80 nodes, we sometimes see the broadcast link resetting because of an excessive number of retransmissions. This is caused by a combination of two factors: 1) A 'NACK crunch", where loss of broadcast packets is discovered and NACK'ed by several nodes simultaneously, leading to multiple redundant broadcast retransmissions. 2) The fact that the NACKS as such also are sent as broadcast, leading to excessive load and packet loss on the transmitting switch/bridge. This commit deals with the latter problem, by moving sending of broadcast nacks from the dedicated BCAST_PROTOCOL/NACK message type to regular unicast LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE messages. We allocate 10 unused bits in word 8 of the said message for this purpose, and introduce a new capability bit, TIPC_BCAST_STATE_NACK in order to keep the change backwards compatible.

fdb dumps spanning multiple skb's currently restart from the first interface again for every skb. This results in unnecessary iterations on the already visited interfaces and their fdb entries. In large scale setups, we have seen this to slow down fdb dumps considerably. On a system with 30k macs we see fdb dumps spanning across more than 300 skbs. To fix the problem, this patch replaces the existing single fdb marker with three markers: netdev hash entries, netdevs and fdb index to continue where we left off instead of restarting from the first netdev. This is consistent with link dumps. In the process of fixing the performance issue, this patch also re-implements fix done by commit 472681d5 ("net: ndo_fdb_dump should report -EMSGSIZE to rtnl_fdb_dump") (with an internal fix from Wilson Kok) in the following ways: - change ndo_fdb_dump handlers to return error code instead of the last fdb index - use cb->args strictly for dump frag markers and not error codes. This is consistent with other dump functions. Below results were taken on a system with 1000 netdevs and 35085 fdb entries: before patch: $time bridge fdb show | wc -l 15065 real 1m11.791s user 0m0.070s sys 1m8.395s (existing code does not return all macs) after patch: $time bridge fdb show | wc -l 35085 real 0m2.017s user 0m0.113s sys 0m1.942s Signed-off-by: NRoopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NWilson Kok <wkok@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users, such as the AFS filesystem, but instead provide a notification hook the indicates that a call needs attention and another that indicates that there's a new call to be collected. This makes the following possibilities more achievable: (1) Call refcounting can be made simpler if skbs don't hold refs to calls. (2) skbs referring to non-data events will be able to be freed much sooner rather than being queued for AFS to pick up as rxrpc_kernel_recv_data will be able to consult the call state. (3) We can shortcut the receive phase when a call is remotely aborted because we don't have to go through all the packets to get to the one cancelling the operation. (4) It makes it easier to do encryption/decryption directly between AFS's buffers and sk_buffs. (5) Encryption/decryption can more easily be done in the AFS's thread contexts - usually that of the userspace process that issued a syscall - rather than in one of rxrpc's background threads on a workqueue. (6) AFS will be able to wait synchronously on a call inside AF_RXRPC. To make this work, the following interface function has been added: int rxrpc_kernel_recv_data( struct socket *sock, struct rxrpc_call *call, void *buffer, size_t bufsize, size_t *_offset, bool want_more, u32 *_abort_code); This is the recvmsg equivalent. It allows the caller to find out about the state of a specific call and to transfer received data into a buffer piecemeal. afs_extract_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() now do all the extraction logic between them. They don't wait synchronously yet because the socket lock needs to be dealt with. Five interface functions have been removed: rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last() rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code() rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number() rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() rxrpc_kernel_data_consumed() As a temporary hack, sk_buffs going to an in-kernel call are queued on the rxrpc_call struct (->knlrecv_queue) rather than being handed over to the in-kernel user. To process the queue internally, a temporary function, temp_deliver_data() has been added. This will be replaced with common code between the rxrpc_recvmsg() path and the kernel_rxrpc_recv_data() path in a future patch.

As reported by Lennert the MPLS GSO code is failing to properly segment large packets. There are a couple of problems: 1. the inner protocol is not set so the gso segment functions for inner protocol layers are not getting run, and 2 MPLS labels for packets that use the "native" (non-OVS) MPLS code are not properly accounted for in mpls_gso_segment. The MPLS GSO code was added for OVS. It is re-using skb_mac_gso_segment to call the gso segment functions for the higher layer protocols. That means skb_mac_gso_segment is called twice -- once with the network protocol set to MPLS and again with the network protocol set to the inner protocol. This patch sets the inner skb protocol addressing item 1 above and sets the network_header and inner_network_header to mark where the MPLS labels start and end. The MPLS code in OVS is also updated to set the two network markers. >From there the MPLS GSO code uses the difference between the network header and the inner network header to know the size of the MPLS header that was pushed. It then pulls the MPLS header, resets the mac_len and protocol for the inner protocol and then calls skb_mac_gso_segment to segment the skb. Afterward the inner protocol segmentation is done the skb protocol is set to mpls for each segment and the network and mac headers restored.

Today mpls iptunnel lwtunnel_output redirect expects the tunnel output function to handle fragmentation. This is ok but can be avoided if we did not do the mpls output redirect too early. ie we could wait until ip fragmentation is done and then call mpls output for each ip fragment. To make this work we will need, 1) the lwtunnel state to carry encap headroom 2) and do the redirect to the encap output handler on the ip fragment (essentially do the output redirect after fragmentation) This patch adds tunnel headroom in lwtstate to make sure we account for tunnel data in mtu calculations during fragmentation and adds new xmit redirect handler to redirect to lwtunnel xmit func after ip fragmentation.

When TCP operates in lossy environments (between 1 and 10 % packet losses), many SACK blocks can be exchanged, and I noticed we could drop them on busy senders, if these SACK blocks have to be queued into the socket backlog. While the main cause is the poor performance of RACK/SACK processing, we can try to avoid these drops of valuable information that can lead to spurious timeouts and retransmits. Cause of the drops is the skb->truesize overestimation caused by : - drivers allocating ~2048 (or more) bytes as a fragment to hold an Ethernet frame. - various pskb_may_pull() calls bringing the headers into skb->head might have pulled all the frame content, but skb->truesize could not be lowered, as the stack has no idea of each fragment truesize. The backlog drops are also more visible on bidirectional flows, since their sk_rmem_alloc can be quite big. Let's add some room for the backlog, as only the socket owner can selectively take action to lower memory needs, like collapsing receive queues or partial ofo pruning.

When using replicast a UDP bearer can have an arbitrary amount of remote ip addresses associated with it. This means we cannot simply add all remote ip addresses to an existing bearer data message as it might fill the message, leaving us with a truncated message that we can't safely resume. To handle this we introduce the new netlink command TIPC_NL_UDP_GET_REMOTEIP. This command is intended to be called when the bearer data message has the TIPC_NLA_UDP_MULTI_REMOTEIP flag set, indicating there are more than one remote ip (replicast).

switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be flooded twice. It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch. This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account, such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which is impossible. The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports, which are not necessarily port netdevs. Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e. having the same parent ID). Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

Currently in process_backlog(), the process_queue dequeuing is performed with local IRQ disabled, to protect against flush_backlog(), which runs in hard IRQ context. This patch moves the flush operation to a work queue and runs the callback with bottom half disabled to protect the process_queue against dequeuing. Since process_queue is now always manipulated in bottom half context, the irq disable/enable pair around the dequeue operation are removed. To keep the flush time as low as possible, the flush works are scheduled on all online cpu simultaneously, using the high priority work-queue and statically allocated, per cpu, work structs. Overall this change increases the time required to destroy a device to improve slightly the packets reinjection performances.
