* rps: Add flag to skb to indicate rxhash is based on L4 tupleTom Herbert2011-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | The l4_rxhash flag was added to the skb structure to indicate that the rxhash value was computed over the 4 tuple for the packet which includes the port information in the encapsulated transport packet. This is used by the stack to preserve the rxhash value in __skb_rx_tunnel. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()Eric Dumazet2011-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

* ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller2011-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.David S. Miller2011-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like RTAX_ADVMSS, make the default calculation go through a dst_ops method rather than caching the computation in the routing cache entries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * ipv4: Don't pre-seed hoplimit metric.David S. Miller2010-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Always go through a new ip4_dst_hoplimit() helper, just like ipv6. This allowed several simplifications: 1) The interim dst_metric_hoplimit() can go as it's no longer userd. 2) The sysctl_ip_default_ttl entry no longer needs to use ipv4_doint_and_flush, since the sysctl is not cached in routing cache metrics any longer. 3) ipv4_doint_and_flush no longer needs to be exported and therefore can be marked static. When ipv4_doint_and_flush_strategy was removed some time ago, the external declaration in ip.h was mistakenly left around so kill that off too. We have to move the sysctl_ip_default_ttl declaration into ipv4's route cache definition header net/route.h, because currently net/ip.h (where the declaration lives now) has a back dependency on net/route.h Signed-off-by: David S.

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: introduce DST_NOCACHE flagEric Dumazet2010-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive windowlaurent chavey2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

We cannot use __atribute((aligned)), so manually pad the structure for 32 and 64 bit arches. for 32bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0x80 for 64bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0xc0 As it is not possible to guess at compile time cache line size, we use a generic value of 64 bytes, that satisfies many current arches. (Using 128 bytes alignment on 64bit arches would waste 64 bytes) Add a BUILD_BUG_ON to catch future updates to "struct dst_entry" dont break this alignment.

* net: Kill plain NET_XMIT_BYPASS.David S. Miller2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | dst_input() was doing something completely absurd, looping on skb->dst->input() if NET_XMIT_BYPASS was seen, but these functions never return such an error. And as a result plain ole' NET_XMIT_BYPASS has no more references and can be completely killed off. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tcp: RTT metrics scalingStephen Hemminger2008-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the metrics (RTT, RTTVAR and RTAX_RTO_MIN) are stored in kernel units (jiffies) and this leaks out through the netlink API to user space where the units for jiffies are unknown. This patches changes the kernel to convert to/from milliseconds. This changes the ABI, but milliseconds seemed like the most natural unit for these parameters. Values available via syscall in /proc/net/rt_cache and netlink will be in milliseconds. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
