      net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics. · 62fa8a84
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.
      
      Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
      If a routing table entry exists, it will point there.  Else it will
      point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.
      
      The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
      metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
      more states.
      
      For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
      However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
      metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing.  Very likely
      this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.
      
      Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
      if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.
      
      But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
      increase cache locality especially for routing workloads.  In those
      cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
      to.
      
      TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
      PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit.  But
      that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
      move to a more sharable location.
      
      Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
      what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
      was necessary.
      
      Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
      count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
      as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.
      
      The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
      the writeable cacheline.  This is OK since we are always accessing the
      flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
      reference count.

      net: Abstract default ADVMSS behind an accessor. · 0dbaee3b
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Make all RTAX_ADVMSS metric accesses go through a new helper function,
      dst_metric_advmss().
      
      Leave the actual default metric as "zero" in the real metric slot,
      and compute the actual default value dynamically via a new dst_ops
      AF specific callback.
      
      For stacked IPSEC routes, we use the advmss of the path which
      preserves existing behavior.
      
      Unlike ipv4/ipv6, DecNET ties the advmss to the mtu and thus updates
      advmss on pmtu updates.  This inconsistency in advmss handling
      results in more raw metric accesses than I wish we ended up with.

      net: Abstract away all dst_entry metrics accesses. · defb3519
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Use helper functions to hide all direct accesses, especially writes,
      to dst_entry metrics values.
      
      This will allow us to:
      
      1) More easily change how the metrics are stored.
      
      2) Implement COW for metrics.
      
      In particular this will help us put metrics into the inetpeer
      cache if that is what we end up doing.  We can make the _metrics
      member a pointer instead of an array, initially have it point
      at the read-only metrics in the FIB, and then on the first set
      grab an inetpeer entry and point the _metrics member there.

      net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table · d6bf7817
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      David
      
      This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code.
      
      Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU
      protected objects.
      
      Thanks
      
      [PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table
      
      Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct
      neigh_table", a new structure is defined :
      
      struct neigh_hash_table {
             struct neighbour        **hash_buckets;
             unsigned int            hash_mask;
             __u32                   hash_rnd;
             struct rcu_head         rcu;
      };
      
      And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a
      neigh_hash_table.
      
      This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a
      third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not
      anymore a neigh_table field.

      net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families · 25239cee

      Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
      be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
      without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.
      
      This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
      as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
      without breaking compatibility.
      
      This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
      rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
      that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
      above that may be used arbitrarily.

      net: sk_dst_cache RCUification · b6c6712a
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
      work.
      
      sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)
      
      This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
      entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
      again :)
      
      This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.
      
      __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
      socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
      condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))
      
      This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
      for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
