2013-07-31netfilter: tproxy: remove nf_tproxy_core, keep tw sk assigned to skbFlorian Westphal
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.

2013-07-25tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket optionEric Dumazet
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. A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing. lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# perf stat -e context-switches ./netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t omni -l 20 -c -i10,3 OMNI Send TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : +/-2.500% @ 99% conf.

On SH-R and Lancer-R, GET_MAC_LIST cmd is better supported (instead of NTWK_MAC_QUERY cmd) to query provisioned MAC addresses.

The code to configure the permanent MAC in be_setup() has become quite complicated, with different FW cmds being used for BEx, SH-R and Lancer.

2013-07-23tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTOYuchung Cheng
If RTT is not available because Karn's check has failed or no new packet is acked, use the RTT measured from SACK to estimate the RTO. The sender can continue to estimate the RTO during loss recovery or reordering event upon receiving non-partial ACKs. This also changes when the RTO is re-armed. Previously it is only re-armed when some data is cummulatively acknowledged (i.e., SND.UNA advances), but now it is re-armed whenever RTT estimator is updated. This feature is particularly useful to reduce spurious timeout for buffer bloat including cellular carriers [1], and RTT estimation on reordering events.
