* [TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache useIlpo Järvinen2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch.

* [TCP]: Seperate DSACK from SACK fast pathBaruch Even2007-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move DSACK code outside the SACK fast-path checking code. If the DSACK determined that the information was too old we stayed with a partial cache copied. Most likely this matters very little since the next packet will not be DSACK and we will find it in the cache. but it's still not good form and there is little reason to couple the two checks. Since the SACK receive cache doesn't need the data to be in host order we also remove the ntohl in the checking loop. Signed-off-by: Baruch Even <baruch@ev-en.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: Bound TSO defer timeJohn Heffner2006-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is longer. On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts. See attached plots, which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO. This burstiness causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult. Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small impact on performance. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <jheffner@psc.edu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters. With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals: 1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support DCCP. 2.

Next changesets will take advantage of this move to generalise things like tcp_bind_hash, tcp_put_port, tcp_inherit_port, making the later receive a inet_hashinfo parameter, and even __tcp_tw_hashdance, etc in the future, when tcp_tw_bucket gets transformed into the struct timewait_sock hierarchy. tcp_destroy_sock also is eligible as soon as tcp_orphan_count gets moved to sk_prot.

* [INET]: Just rename the TCP hashtable functions/structs to inet_Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is to break down the complexity of the series of patches, making it very clear that this one just does: 1. renames tcp_ prefixed hashtable functions and data structures that were already mostly generic to inet_ to share it with DCCP and other INET transport protocols. 2. Removes not used functions (__tb_head & tb_head) 3. Removes some leftover prototypes in the headers (tcp_bucket_unlock & tcp_v4_build_header) Next changesets will move tcp_sk(sk)->bind_hash to inet_sock so that we can make functions such as tcp_inherit_port, __tcp_inherit_port, tcp_v4_get_port, __tcp_put_port, generic and get others like tcp_destroy_sock closer to generic (tcp_orphan_count will go to sk->sk_prot to allow this).

* [TCP]: Move to new TSO segmenting scheme.David S. Miller2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier. The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame output to the card is determined at transmit time. This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build. Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to "defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger TSO frames to be emitted. A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

Next patches will rename tcp_listen_opt to accept_sock and remove the inline tcp functions that just call a reqsk_queue_ function.

* [NET] Rename open_request to request_sockArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to dissassociate it from TCP: struct open_request -> struct request_sock tcp_openreq_alloc -> reqsk_alloc tcp_openreq_free -> reqsk_free tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct sock methods subset.

* [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to ease peer review. Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn has two new members: ->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep ->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for a specific protocol The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an open_request. I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an or_calltable. Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-) Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g, etc. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
