      net: clear skb->priority when forwarding to another netns · 08b4b8ea
      由 WANG Cong 提交于 
      skb->priority can be set for two purposes:

1) With respect to IP TOS field, which is computed by a mask.
Ususally used for priority qdisc's (pfifo, prio etc.), on TX
side (we only have ingress qdisc on RX side).

2) Used as a classid or flowid, works in the same way with tc
classid. What's more, this can even override the classid
of tc filters.

For case 1), it has been respected within its netns, I don't
see any point of keeping it for another netns, especially
when packets will be forwarded to Rx path (no matter from TX
path or RX path).

For case 2) we care, our applications run inside a netns,
and we classify the packets by our own filters outside,
If some application sets this priority, it could bypass
our filters, therefore clear it when moving out of a netns,
it makes no sense to bypass tc filters out of its netns.

      net: Fix high overhead of vlan sub-device teardown. · 99c4a26a
      由 David S. Miller 提交于 
      When a networking device is taken down that has a non-trivial number
of VLAN devices configured under it, we eat a full synchronize_net()
for every such VLAN device.

This is because of the call chain:

	NETDEV_DOWN notifier
	--> vlan_device_event()
		--> dev_change_flags()
		--> __dev_change_flags()
		--> __dev_close()
		--> __dev_close_many()
		--> dev_deactivate_many()
			--> synchronize_net()

This is kind of rediculous because we already have infrastructure for
batching doing operation X to a list of net devices so that we only
incur one sync.

So make use of that by exporting dev_close_many() and adjusting it's
interfaace so that the caller can fully manage the batch list.  Use
this in vlan_device_event() and all the overhead goes away.

      net: rfs: add hash collision detection · 567e4b79
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Receive Flow Steering is a nice solution but suffers from
hash collisions when a mix of connected and unconnected traffic
is received on the host, when flow hash table is populated.

Also, clearing flow in inet_release() makes RFS not very good
for short lived flows, as many packets can follow close().
(FIN , ACK packets, ...)

This patch extends the information stored into global hash table
to not only include cpu number, but upper part of the hash value.

I use a 32bit value, and dynamically split it in two parts.

For host with less than 64 possible cpus, this gives 6 bits for the
cpu number, and 26 (32-6) bits for the upper part of the hash.

Since hash bucket selection use low order bits of the hash, we have
a full hash match, if /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries is big
enough.

If the hash found in flow table does not match, we fallback to RPS (if
it is enabled for the rxqueue).

This means that a packet for an non connected flow can avoid the
IPI through a unrelated/victim CPU.

This also means we no longer have to clear the table at socket
close time, and this helps short lived flows performance.

      net: rps: fix cpu unplug · ac64da0b
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that
we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active
one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets
into victim queue.

A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from
victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu
backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect
process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu
is offline.

Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov
Kasiviswanathan.

This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing,
only make migration safer.

      net: allow large number of rx queues · 10595902
      由 Pankaj Gupta 提交于 
      netif_alloc_rx_queues() uses kcalloc() to allocate memory
for "struct netdev_queue *_rx" array.
If we are doing large rx queue allocation kcalloc() might
fail, so this patch does a fallback to vzalloc().
Similar implementation is done for tx queue allocation in
netif_alloc_netdev_queues().

We avoid failure of high order memory allocation
with the help of vzalloc(), this allows us to do large
rx and tx queue allocation which in turn helps us to
increase the number of queues in tun.

As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path,
__GFP_REPEAT flag is used with kzalloc() to do this fallback
only when really needed.

      net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check · 5f35227e
      由 Jesse Gross 提交于 
      GSO isn't the only offload feature with restrictions that
potentially can't be expressed with the current features mechanism.
Checksum is another although it's a general issue that could in
theory apply to anything. Even if it may be possible to
implement these restrictions in other ways, it can result in
duplicate code or inefficient per-packet behavior.

This generalizes ndo_gso_check so that drivers can remove any
features that don't make sense for a given packet, similar to
netif_skb_features(). It also converts existing driver
restrictions to the new format, completing the work that was
done to support tunnel protocols since the issues apply to
checksums as well.

By actually removing features from the set that are used to do
offloading, it solves another problem with the existing
interface. In these cases, GSO would run with the original set
of features and not do anything because it appears that
segmentation is not required.

      net/core: Handle csum for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE VXLAN forwarding · 2c26d34b
      由 Jay Vosburgh 提交于 
      When using VXLAN tunnels and a sky2 device, I have experienced
checksum failures of the following type:

[ 4297.761899] eth0: hw csum failure
[...]
[ 4297.765223] Call Trace:
[ 4297.765224]  <IRQ>  [<ffffffff8172f026>] dump_stack+0x46/0x58
[ 4297.765235]  [<ffffffff8162ba52>] netdev_rx_csum_fault+0x42/0x50
[ 4297.765238]  [<ffffffff8161c1a0>] ? skb_push+0x40/0x40

[ 4297.765243]  [<ffffffff8168c602>] tcp_v4_rcv+0x2e2/0x950
[ 4297.765246]  [<ffffffff81666ca0>] ? ip_rcv_finish+0x360/0x360

	These are reliably reproduced in a network topology of:

container:eth0 == host(OVS VXLAN on VLAN) == bond0 == eth0 (sky2) -> switch

	When VXLAN encapsulated traffic is received from a similarly
configured peer, the above warning is generated in the receive
processing of the encapsulated packet.  Note that the warning is
associated with the container eth0.

        The skbs from sky2 have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and
because the packet is an encapsulated Ethernet frame, the checksum
generated by the hardware includes the inner protocol and Ethernet
headers.

	The receive code is careful to update the skb->csum, except in
__dev_forward_skb, as called by dev_forward_skb.  __dev_forward_skb
calls eth_type_trans, which in turn calls skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN)
to skip over the Ethernet header, but does not update skb->csum when
doing so.

	This patch resolves the problem by adding a call to
skb_postpull_rcsum to update the skb->csum after the call to
eth_type_trans.

      net: Pull out core bits of __netdev_alloc_skb and add __napi_alloc_skb · fd11a83d
      由 Alexander Duyck 提交于 
      This change pulls the core functionality out of __netdev_alloc_skb and
places them in a new function named __alloc_rx_skb.  The reason for doing
this is to make these bits accessible to a new function __napi_alloc_skb.
In addition __alloc_rx_skb now has a new flags value that is used to
determine which page frag pool to allocate from.  If the SKB_ALLOC_NAPI
flag is set then the NAPI pool is used.  The advantage of this is that we
do not have to use local_irq_save/restore when accessing the NAPI pool from
NAPI context.

In my test setup I saw at least 11ns of savings using the napi_alloc_skb
function versus the netdev_alloc_skb function, most of this being due to
the fact that we didn't have to call local_irq_save/restore.

The main use case for napi_alloc_skb would be for things such as copybreak
or page fragment based receive paths where an skb is allocated after the
data has been received instead of before.

      rtnetlink: delay RTM_DELLINK notification until after ndo_uninit() · 395eea6c
      由 Mahesh Bandewar 提交于 
      The commit 56bfa7ee ("unregister_netdevice : move RTM_DELLINK to
until after ndo_uninit") tried to do this ealier but while doing so
it created a problem. Unfortunately the delayed rtmsg_ifinfo() also
delayed call to fill_info(). So this translated into asking driver
to remove private state and then query it's private state. This
could have catastropic consequences.

This change breaks the rtmsg_ifinfo() into two parts - one takes the
precise snapshot of the device by called fill_info() before calling
the ndo_uninit() and the second part sends the notification using
collected snapshot.

It was brought to notice when last link is deleted from an ipvlan device
when it has free-ed the port and the subsequent .fill_info() call is
trying to get the info from the port.

      net: generic dev_disable_lro() stacked device handling · fbe168ba
      由 Michal Kubeček 提交于 
      Large receive offloading is known to cause problems if received packets
are passed to other host. Therefore the kernel disables it by calling
dev_disable_lro() whenever a network device is enslaved in a bridge or
forwarding is enabled for it (or globally). For virtual devices we need
to disable LRO on the underlying physical device (which is actually
receiving the packets).

Current dev_disable_lro() code handles this  propagation for a vlan
(including 802.1ad nested vlan), macvlan or a vlan on top of a macvlan.
It doesn't handle other stacked devices and their combinations, in
particular propagation from a bond to its slaves which often causes
problems in virtualization setups.

As we now have generic data structures describing the upper-lower device
relationship, dev_disable_lro() can be generalized to disable LRO also
for all lower devices (if any) once it is disabled for the device
itself.

For bonding and teaming devices, it is necessary to disable LRO not only
on current slaves at the moment when dev_disable_lro() is called but
also on any slave (port) added later.

      net: gro: add a per device gro flush timer · 3b47d303
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard.

Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting
goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal
latencies.

To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use :

ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44

But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to
50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when
a packet with TCP Push flag is received.

Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every
incoming packet.

This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do,
based on traffic pattern.

Packets with Push flag wont be delayed.
Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep
receiving data.

This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond.

To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().

Tested:
 Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues)

Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.

GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet)

Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes
and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42)

Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up.
This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK
packets.

Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can
decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches
doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

      net: less interrupt masking in NAPI · d75b1ade
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      net_rx_action() can mask irqs a single time to transfert sd->poll_list
into a private list, for a very short duration.

Then, napi_complete() can avoid masking irqs again,
and net_rx_action() only needs to mask irq again in slow path.

This patch removes 2 couples of irq mask/unmask per typical NAPI run,
more if multiple napi were triggered.

Note this also allows to give control back to caller (do_softirq())
more often, so that other softirq handlers can be called a bit earlier,
or ksoftirqd can be wakeup earlier under pressure.

This was developed while testing an alternative to RX interrupt
mitigation to reduce latencies while keeping or improving GRO
aggregation on fast NIC.

Idea is to test napi->gro_list at the end of a napi->poll() and
reschedule one NAPI poll, but after servicing a full round of
softirqs (timers, TX, rcu, ...). This will be allowed only if softirq
is currently serviced by idle task or ksoftirqd, and resched not needed.

      net: Add ndo_gso_check · 04ffcb25
      由 Tom Herbert 提交于 
      Add ndo_gso_check which a device can define to indicate whether is
is capable of doing GSO on a packet. This funciton would be called from
the stack to determine whether software GSO is needed to be done. A
driver should populate this function if it advertises GSO types for
which there are combinations that it wouldn't be able to handle. For
instance a device that performs UDP tunneling might only implement
support for transparent Ethernet bridging type of inner packets
or might have limitations on lengths of inner headers.

      net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support · 02875878
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.

Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y

The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.

This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.

Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :

	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
	netif_keep_dst(dev);

Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.

The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.
