      Willem de Bruijn 提交于
      Extract the remaining two fields from tc_verd and remove the __u16
      completely. TC_AT and TC_FROM are converted to equivalent two-bit
      integer fields tc_at and tc_from. Where possible, use existing
      helper skb_at_tc_ingress when reading tc_at. Introduce helper
      skb_reset_tc to clear fields.
      
      Not documenting tc_from and tc_at, because they will be replaced
      with single bit fields in follow-on patches.

      net-tc: extract skip classify bit from tc_verd · e7246e12
      Willem de Bruijn 提交于
      Packets sent by the IFB device skip subsequent tc classification.
      A single bit governs this state. Move it out of tc_verd in
      anticipation of removing that __u16 completely.
      
      The new bitfield tc_skip_classify temporarily uses one bit of a
      hole, until tc_verd is removed completely in a follow-up patch.
      
      Remove the bit hole comment. It could be 2, 3, 4 or 5 bits long.
      With that many options, little value in documenting it.
      
      Introduce a helper function to deduplicate the logic in the two
      sites that check this bit.
      
      The field tc_skip_classify is set only in IFB on skbs cloned in
      act_mirred, so original packet sources do not have to clear the
      bit when reusing packets (notably, pktgen and octeon).

      net_sched: gen_estimator: complete rewrite of rate estimators · 1c0d32fd
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      1) Old code was hard to maintain, due to complex lock chains.
         (We probably will be able to remove some kfree_rcu() in callers)
      
      2) Using a single timer to update all estimators does not scale.
      
      3) Code was buggy on 32bit kernel (WRITE_ONCE() on 64bit quantity
         is not supposed to work well)
      
      In this rewrite :
      
      - I removed the RB tree that had to be scanned in
        gen_estimator_active(). qdisc dumps should be much faster.
      
      - Each estimator has its own timer.
      
      - Estimations are maintained in net_rate_estimator structure,
        instead of dirtying the qdisc. Minor, but part of the simplification.
      
      - Reading the estimator uses RCU and a seqcount to provide proper
        support for 32bit kernels.
      
      - We reduce memory need when estimators are not used, since
        we store a pointer, instead of the bytes/packets counters.
      
      - xt_rateest_mt() no longer has to grab a spinlock.
        (In the future, xt_rateest_tg() could be switched to per cpu counters)

      net_sched: generalize bulk dequeue · 4d202a0d
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      When qdisc bulk dequeue was added in linux-3.18 (commit
      5772e9a3 "qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs
      with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE"), it was constrained to some
      specific qdiscs.
      
      With some extra care, we can extend this to all qdiscs,
      so that typical traffic shaping solutions can benefit from
      small batches (8 packets in this patch).
      
      For example, HTB is often used on some multi queue device.
      And bonding/team are multi queue devices...
      
      Idea is to bulk-dequeue packets mapping to the same transmit queue.
      
      This brings between 35 and 80 % performance increase in HTB setup
      under pressure on a bonding setup :
      
      1) NUMA node contention :   610,000 pps -> 1,110,000 pps
      2) No node contention   : 1,380,000 pps -> 1,930,000 pps
      
      Now we should work to add batches on the enqueue() side ;)

      net_sched: drop packets after root qdisc lock is released · 520ac30f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Qdisc performance suffers when packets are dropped at enqueue()
      time because drops (kfree_skb()) are done while qdisc lock is held,
      delaying a dequeue() draining the queue.
      
      Nominal throughput can be reduced by 50 % when this happens,
      at a time we would like the dequeue() to proceed as fast as possible.
      
      Even FQ is vulnerable to this problem, while one of FQ goals was
      to provide some flow isolation.
      
      This patch adds a 'struct sk_buff **to_free' parameter to all
      qdisc->enqueue(), and in qdisc_drop() helper.
      
      I measured a performance increase of up to 12 %, but this patch
      is a prereq so that future batches in enqueue() can fly.

      net_sched: add the ability to defer skb freeing · 1b5c5493
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.

      net_sched: remove generic throttled management · 45f50bed
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      __QDISC_STATE_THROTTLED bit manipulation is rather expensive
      for HTB and few others.
      
      I already removed it for sch_fq in commit f2600cf0
      ("net: sched: avoid costly atomic operation in fq_dequeue()")
      and so far nobody complained.
      
      When one ore more packets are stuck in one or more throttled
      HTB class, a htb dequeue() performs two atomic operations
      to clear/set __QDISC_STATE_THROTTLED bit, while root qdisc
      lock is held.
      
      Removing this pair of atomic operations bring me a 8 % performance
      increase on 200 TCP_RR tests, in presence of throttled classes.
      
      This patch has no side effect, since nothing actually uses
      disc_is_throttled() anymore.

      sched: place state, next_sched and gso_skb in same cacheline again · c8945043
      Florian Westphal 提交于
      Earlier commits removed two members from struct Qdisc which places
      next_sched/gso_skb into a different cacheline than ->state.
      
      This restores the struct layout to what it was before the removal.
      Move the two members, then add an annotation so they all reside in the
      same cacheline.
      
      This adds a 16 byte hole after cpu_qstats.
      
      The hole could be closed but as it doesn't decrease total struct size just
      do it this way.

      cbq: remove TCA_CBQ_POLICE support · dd47c1fa
      Florian Westphal 提交于
      iproute2 doesn't implement any cbq option that results in this attribute
      being sent to kernel.
      
      To make use of it, user would have to
      
      - patch iproute2
      - add a class
      - attach a qdisc to the class (default pfifo doesn't work as
        q->handle is 0 and cbq_set_police() is a no-op in this case)
      - re-'add' the same class (tc class change ...) again
      - user must also specifiy a defmap (e.g. 'split 1:0 defmap 3f'), since
        this 'police' feature relies on its presence
      - the added qdisc must be one of bfifo, pfifo or netem
      
      If all of these conditions are met and _some_ leaf qdiscs, namely
      p/bfifo, netem, plug or tbf would drop a packet, kernel calls back into
      cbq, which will attempt to re-queue the skb into a different class
      as indicated by the parents' defmap entry for TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT.
      
      [ i.e. we behave as if tc_classify returned TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY ].
      
      This feature, which isn't documented or implemented in iproute2,
      and isn't implemented consistently (most qdiscs like sfq, codel, etc
      drop right away instead of attempting this reclassification) is the
      sole reason for the reshape_fail and __parent member in Qdisc struct.
      
      So remove TCA_CBQ_POLICE support from the kernel, reject it via EOPNOTSUPP
      so userspace knows we don't support it, and then remove no-longer needed
      infrastructure in followup commit.

      mq/mqprio have their own ways to report qlen/drops by folding stats on
      all their queues, with appropriate locking.
      
      A second problem is that qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() calls qdisc_lookup()
      without proper locking : concurrent qdisc updates could corrupt the list
      that qdisc_match_from_root() parses to find a qdisc given its handle.
      
      Fix first problem adding a TCQ_F_NOPARENT qdisc flag that
      qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() can use to abort its tree traversal,
      as soon as it meets a mq/mqprio qdisc children.
      
      Second problem can be fixed by RCU protection.
      Qdisc are already freed after RCU grace period, so qdisc_list_add() and
      qdisc_list_del() simply have to use appropriate rcu list variants.
      
      A future patch will add a per struct netdev_queue list anchor, so that
      qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() can have more efficient lookups.

      Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
      Existing bpf_clone_redirect() helper clones skb before redirecting
      it to RX or TX of destination netdev.
      Introduce bpf_redirect() helper that does that without cloning.
      
      Benchmarked with two hosts using 10G ixgbe NICs.
      One host is doing line rate pktgen.
      Another host is configured as:
      $ tc qdisc add dev $dev ingress
      $ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
         action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section clone_redirect_xmit drop
      so it receives the packet on $dev and immediately xmits it on $dev + 1
      The section 'clone_redirect_xmit' in tcbpf1_kern.o file has the program
      that does bpf_clone_redirect() and performance is 2.0 Mpps
      
      $ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
         action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit drop
      which is using bpf_redirect() - 2.4 Mpps
      
      and using cls_bpf with integrated actions as:
      $ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 \
        bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit integ_act classid 1
      performance is 2.5 Mpps
      
      To summarize:
      u32+act_bpf using clone_redirect - 2.0 Mpps
      u32+act_bpf using redirect - 2.4 Mpps
      cls_bpf using redirect - 2.5 Mpps
      
      For comparison linux bridge in this setup is doing 2.1 Mpps
      and ixgbe rx + drop in ip_rcv - 7.8 Mpps

      Cong Wang 提交于
      Kernel automatically creates a tp for each
      (kind, protocol, priority) tuple, which has handle 0,
      when we add a new filter, but it still is left there
      after we remove our own, unless we don't specify the
      handle (literally means all the filters under
      the tuple). For example this one is left:
      
        # tc filter show dev eth0
        filter parent 8001: protocol arp pref 49152 basic
      
      The user-space is hard to clean up these for kernel
      because filters like u32 are organized in a complex way.
      So kernel is responsible to remove it after all filters
      are gone.  Each type of filter has its own way to
      store the filters, so each type has to provide its
      way to check if all filters are gone.

      Doing the following commands on a non idle network device
      panics the box instantly, because cpu_bstats gets overwritten
      by stats.

      Lets play safe and not use an union : percpu 'pointers' are mostly read
      anyway, and we have typically few qdiscs per host.

      qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE · 5772e9a3
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      Based on DaveM's recent API work on dev_hard_start_xmit(), that allows
      sending/processing an entire skb list.
      
      This patch implements qdisc bulk dequeue, by allowing multiple packets
      to be dequeued in dequeue_skb().
      
      The optimization principle for this is two fold, (1) to amortize
      locking cost and (2) avoid expensive tailptr update for notifying HW.
       (1) Several packets are dequeued while holding the qdisc root_lock,
      amortizing locking cost over several packet.  The dequeued SKB list is
      processed under the TXQ lock in dev_hard_start_xmit(), thus also
      amortizing the cost of the TXQ lock.
       (2) Further more, dev_hard_start_xmit() will utilize the skb->xmit_more
      API to delay HW tailptr update, which also reduces the cost per
      packet.
      
      One restriction of the new API is that every SKB must belong to the
      same TXQ.  This patch takes the easy way out, by restricting bulk
      dequeue to qdisc's with the TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE flag, that specifies the
      qdisc only have attached a single TXQ.
      
      Some detail about the flow; dev_hard_start_xmit() will process the skb
      list, and transmit packets individually towards the driver (see
      xmit_one()).  In case the driver stops midway in the list, the
      remaining skb list is returned by dev_hard_start_xmit().  In
      sch_direct_xmit() this returned list is requeued by dev_requeue_skb().
      
      To avoid overshooting the HW limits, which results in requeuing, the
      patch limits the amount of bytes dequeued, based on the drivers BQL
      limits.  In-effect bulking will only happen for BQL enabled drivers.
      
      Small amounts for extra HoL blocking (2x MTU/0.24ms) were
      measured at 100Mbit/s, with bulking 8 packets, but the
      oscillating nature of the measurement indicate something, like
      sched latency might be causing this effect. More comparisons
      show, that this oscillation goes away occationally. Thus, we
      disregard this artifact completely and remove any "magic" bulking
      limit.
      
      For now, as a conservative approach, stop bulking when seeing TSO and
      segmented GSO packets.  They already benefit from bulking on their own.
      A followup patch add this, to allow easier bisect-ability for finding
      regressions.
      
      Jointed work with Hannes, Daniel and Florian.
