2013-08-10net: attempt high order allocations in sock_alloc_send_pskb()Eric Dumazet
Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before. We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order allocations. Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8. I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches. Tested: Before patch : $ netperf -t STREAM_STREAM STREAM STREAM TEST Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 2304 212992 212992 10.00 46861.15 After patch : $ netperf -t STREAM_STREAM STREAM STREAM TEST Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 2304 212992 212992 10.00 57981.11 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-08-10af_unix: improve STREAM behavior with fragmented memoryEric Dumazet
unix_stream_sendmsg() currently uses order-2 allocations, and we had numerous reports this can fail. The __GFP_REPEAT flag present in sock_alloc_send_pskb() is not helping. This patch extends the work done in commit eb6a24816b247c ("af_unix: reduce high order page allocations) for datagram sockets. This opens the possibility of zero copy IO (splice() and friends) The trick is to not use skb_pull() anymore in recvmsg() path, and instead add a @consumed field in UNIXCB() to track amount of already read payload in the skb. There is a performance regression for large sends because of extra page allocations that will be addressed in a follow-up patch, allowing sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order page allocations.

2013-08-03fib_rules: fix suppressor names and default valuesStefan Tomanek
This change brings the suppressor attribute names into line; it also changes the data types to provide a more consistent interface. While -1 indicates that the suppressor is not enabled, values >= 0 for suppress_prefixlen or suppress_ifgroup reject routing decisions violating the constraint. This changes the previously presented behaviour of suppress_prefixlen, where a prefix length _less_ than the attribute value was rejected. After this change, a prefix length less than *or* equal to the value is considered a violation of the rule constraint. It also changes the default values for default and newly added rules (disabling any suppression for those). Signed-off-by: Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek@wertarbyte.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-08-02sctp: Don't lookup dst if transport dst is still validfan.du
When sctp sits on IPv6, sctp_transport_dst_check pass cookie as ZERO, as a result ip6_dst_check always fail out. This behaviour makes transport->dst useless, because every sctp_packet_transmit must look for valid dst. Add a dst_cookie into sctp_transport, and set the cookie whenever we get new dst for sctp_transport. So dst validness could be checked against it. Since I have split genid for IPv4 and IPv6, also delete/add IPv6 address will also bump IPv6 genid. So issues we discussed in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=137404469219410&w=4 have all been sloved for this patch.

2013-08-01ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contentionMichal Kubeček
On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of entries reaches gc_thresh. This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc() doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc() returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after another which blocks them for quite long. Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

2013-08-01fib_rules: add .suppress operationStefan Tomanek
This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its results. The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length >0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more general) routing table entries will be ignored. When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this can be achieved by using the following command sequence: $ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1 $ ip rule add pref 100 table main prefixlength 1 $ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.

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.

2013-07-25net: add sk_stream_is_writeable() helperEric Dumazet
Several call sites use the hardcoded following condition : sk_stream_wspace(sk) >= sk_stream_min_wspace(sk) Lets use a helper because TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT support will change this condition for TCP sockets.

2013-07-23tcp: prefer packet timing to TS-ECR for RTTYuchung Cheng
Prefer packet timings to TS-ecr for RTT measurements when both sources are available. That's because broken middle-boxes and remote peer can return packets with corrupted TS ECR fields. Similarly most congestion controls that require RTT signals favor timing-based sources as well. Also check for bad TS ECR values to avoid RTT blow-ups. It has happened on production Web servers.

2013-07-23tcp: consolidate SYNACK RTT samplingYuchung Cheng
The first patch consolidates SYNACK and other RTT measurement to use a central function tcp_ack_update_rtt(). A (small) bonus is now SYNACK RTT measurement happens after PAWS check, potentially reducing the impact of RTO seeding on bad TCP timestamps values.

2013-07-22net: Provide a generic socket error queue delivery method for Tx time stamps.Richard Cochran
This patch moves the private error queue delivery function from the af_packet code to the core socket method. In this way, network layers only needing the error queue for transmit time stamping can share common code. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-07-16cfg80211/mac80211: use reduced txpower for 5 and 10 MHzSimon Wunderlich
Some regulations (like germany, but also FCC) express their transmission power limit in dBm/MHz or mW/MHz. To cope with that and be on the safe side, reduce the maximum power to half (10 MHz) or quarter (5 MHz) when operating on these reduced bandwidth channels.
