In dev_pick_tx, don't do work in calculating queue index or setting the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue. This allows the sock to be set only with a queue index of a multi-queue device which is desirable if device are stacked like in a tunnel. We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed. To maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been added to the sk_buff structure. If a transport layer sets this flag on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket. Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight for the socket). This patch includes the modification in TCP output for setting this flag. Signed-off-by: NTom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time (used once). Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst. This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly. CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary dsts. Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(), since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

commit b30973f8 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node. skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one. In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load, and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second, needing all the available cpus. Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local' memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

The patch below adds a 'prevent_sk_orphan' bit in the skb tx shared info, which fixes the problem discovered by Matthias Fuchs here: http://marc.info/?t=128030411900003&r=1&w=2 Even if it's not a primary tx timestamp topic it fits well into some skb shared tx context.

While first patch was governed by network stack needs, second was more driven by performance issues on current hardware. Real intent was to align data on a cache line boundary. So use max(32, L1_CACHE_BYTES) instead of 64, to be more generic. Remove microblaze and powerpc own NET_SKB_PAD definitions. Thanks to Alexander Duyck and David Miller for their comments.

Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and is not one of the special pkts tested for in skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan. For example, vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any packet handlers at all. However, bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx and bond0 -> ethx will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev, because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only delivers them to exact matches. This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves. Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others be dropped out right in the vlan path. I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes and load balancing modes. # bond0 -> ethx # vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx # bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx # bond0 -> ethx | vlanx -> -- Signed-off-by: NJohn Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted. Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched. skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current user is not rcu protected. New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb. (with lockdep check) skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted. skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb is queued and not anymore RCU protected. Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue(). Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb(). Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink simulator : - 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz - 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port) - RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0 - rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second) - SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload) - tg3 NIC - 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level. Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part. Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves.

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs. Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores. This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support. Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis (e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps. Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when steering it to a remote CPU. The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable /sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0). Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization. e1000e on 8 core Intel Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU forcedeth on 16 core AMD Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU bnx2x on 16 core AMD Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues) With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Caveats: - The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy. Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary. - This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation. We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this. - The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's probably best not change the masks too frequently.

The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set. This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb->sp field. This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff struct surrounding the cb[] area.

Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested successfully by me. Notes: 1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops. Deltas must be computed in user space. 2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero, and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism. 3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit 97775007 (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted Signed-off-by: NNeil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
