      tcp: TCP Small Queues · 46d3ceab
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues)
      
      TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc &
      device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat
      problem.
      
      sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit,
      allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a
      given time.
      
      TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two
      TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use.
      
      As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the
      standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce
      latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets.
      
      This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to
      queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the
      already queued skbs.
      
      Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive,
      using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO.
      
      Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering
      per bulk sender :
      < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO)
      < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms)
      
      I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf
      session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes.
      
      As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be
      taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one
      tasklest per cpu for performance reasons.
      
      If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag.
      This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(),
      to eventually send new segments.
      
      [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable
      [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time,
        but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler.
        These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP
        session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will
        have no effect.

      tcp: Fix out of bounds access to tcpm_vals · 2100844c
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      The recent patch "tcp: Maintain dynamic metrics in local cache." introduced
      an out of bounds access due to what appears to be a typo.   I believe this
      change should resolve the issue by replacing the access to RTAX_CWND with
      TCP_METRIC_CWND.

      netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create · a31f2d17
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      This patch adds the following structure:
      
      struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
              unsigned int    groups;
              void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
              struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
      };
      
      That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
      for netlink kernel sockets.
      
      I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
      existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
      left in the original interface.
      
      That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
      easy extensibility of this interface in the future.
      
      This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.
