* bonding: Make alb learning packet interval configurableNeil Horman2013-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | running bonding in ALB mode requires that learning packets be sent periodically, so that the switch knows where to send responding traffic. However, depending on switch configuration, there may not be any need to send traffic at the default rate of 3 packets per second, which represents little more than wasted data. Allow the ALB learning packet interval to be made configurable via sysfs Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Acked-by: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@redhat.com> CC: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> CC: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> CC: "David S.

* tcp: TSO packets automatic sizingEric Dumazet2013-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The module was "permanent", due to the special tproxy skb->destructor. Nowadays we have tcp early demux and its sock_edemux destructor in networking core which can be used instead. Thanks to early demux changes the input path now also handles "skb->sk is tw socket" correctly, so this no longer needs the special handling introduced with commit d503b30bd648b3cb4e5f50b65d27e389960cc6d9 (netfilter: tproxy: do not assign timewait sockets to skb->sk). Thus: - move assign_sock function to where its needed - don't prevent timewait sockets from being assigned to the skb - remove nf_tproxy_core.

* tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket optionEric Dumazet2013-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

| * | | bonding: add an option to fail when any of arp_ip_target is inaccessibleVeaceslav Falico2013-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we fail only when all of the ips in arp_ip_target are gone. However, in some situations we might need to fail if even one host from arp_ip_target becomes unavailable. All situations, obviously, rely on the idea that we need *completely* functional network, with all interfaces/addresses working correctly. One real world example might be: vlans on top on bond (hybrid port). If bond and vlans have ips assigned and we have their peers monitored via arp_ip_target - in case of switch misconfiguration (trunk/access port), slave driver malfunction or tagged/untagged traffic dropped on the way - we will be able to switch to another slave. Though any other configuration needs that if we need to have access to all arp_ip_targets. This patch adds this possibility by adding a new parameter - arp_all_targets (both as a module parameter and as a sysfs knob). It can be set to: 0 or any (the default) - which works exactly as it's working now - the slave is up if any of the arp_ip_targets are up. 1 or all - the slave is up if all of the arp_ip_targets are up. This parameter can be changed on the fly (via sysfs), and requires the mode to be active-backup and arp_validate to be enabled (it obeys the arp_validate config on which slaves to validate). Internally it's done through: 1) Add target_last_arp_rx[BOND_MAX_ARP_TARGETS] array to slave struct. It's an array of jiffies, meaning that slave->target_last_arp_rx[i] is the last time we've received arp from bond->params.arp_targets[i] on this slave. 2) If we successfully validate an arp from bond->params.arp_targets[i] in bond_validate_arp() - update the slave->target_last_arp_rx[i] with the current jiffies value. 3) When getting slave's last_rx via slave_last_rx(), we return the oldest time when we've received an arp from any address in bond->params.arp_targets[]. If the value of arp_all_targets == 0 - we still work the same way as before. Also, update the documentation to reflect the new parameter. v3->v4: Kill the forgotten rtnl_unlock(), rephrase the documentation part to be more clear, don't fail setting arp_all_targets if arp_validate is not set - it has no effect anyway but can be easier to set up. Also, print a warning if the last arp_ip_target is removed while the arp_interval is on, but not the arp_validate. v2->v3: Use _bh spinlock, remove useless rtnl_lock() and use jiffies for new arp_ip_target last arp, instead of slave_last_rx(). On bond_enslave(), use the same initialization value for target_last_arp_rx[] as is used for the default last_arp_rx, to avoid useless interface flaps. Also, instead of failing to remove the last arp_ip_target just print a warning - otherwise it might break existing scripts. v1->v2: Correctly handle adding/removing hosts in arp_ip_target - we need to shift/initialize all slave's target_last_arp_rx. Also, don't fail module loading on arp_all_targets misconfiguration, just disable it, and some minor style fixes. Signed-off-by: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tcp: implement RFC5682 F-RTOYuchung Cheng2013-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements F-RTO (foward RTO recovery): When the first retransmission after timeout is acknowledged, F-RTO sends new data instead of old data. If the next ACK acknowledges some never-retransmitted data, then the timeout was spurious and the congestion state is reverted. Otherwise if the next ACK selectively acknowledges the new data, then the timeout was genuine and the loss recovery continues. This idea applies to recurring timeouts as well. While F-RTO sends different data during timeout recovery, it does not (and should not) change the congestion control. The implementaion follows the three steps of SACK enhanced algorithm (section 3) in RFC5682. Step 1 is in tcp_enter_loss(). Step 2 and 3 are in tcp_process_loss(). The basic version is not supported because SACK enhanced version also works for non-SACK connections. The new implementation is functionally in parity with the old F-RTO implementation except the one case where it increases undo events: In addition to the RFC algorithm, a spurious timeout may be detected without sending data in step 2, as long as the SACK confirms not all the original data are dropped. When this happens, the sender will undo the cwnd and perhaps enter fast recovery instead. This additional check increases the F-RTO undo events by 5x compared to the prior implementation on Google Web servers, since the sender often does not have new data to send for HTTP. Note F-RTO may detect spurious timeout before Eifel with timestamps does so.

* tcp: refactor F-RTOYuchung Cheng2013-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682). This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has many experimental features. It takes a separate code path from the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos. While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control, the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places (e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()). The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing path. F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules. It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send independently. F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based detection. The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is left for the new implementation. Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dmitry Akindinov is reporting for a problem where SYNs are looping between the master and backup server when the backup server is used as real server in DR mode and has IPVS rules to function as director. Even when the backup function is enabled we continue to forward traffic and schedule new connections when the current master is using the backup server as real server. While this is not a problem for NAT, for DR and TUN method the backup server can not determine if a request comes from client or from director. To avoid such loops add new sysctl flag backup_only. It can be needed for DR/TUN setups that do not need backup and director function at the same time. When the backup function is enabled we stop any forwarding and pass the traffic to the local stack (real server mode). The flag disables the director function when the backup function is enabled. For setups that enable backup function for some virtual services and director function for other virtual services there should be another more complex solution to support DR/TUN mode, may be to assign per-virtual service syncid value, so that we can differentiate the requests.
