2009-07-30xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_threshNeil Horman2-2/+13
Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values (set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical. This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as the routing table can. For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 * gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size. For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size, but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4 code does).

2009-07-27xfrm: export xfrm garbage collector thresholds via sysctlNeil Horman1-0/+18
Export garbage collector thresholds for xfrm[4|6]_dst_ops Had a problem reported to me recently in which a high volume of ipsec connections on a system began reporting ENOBUFS for new connections eventually. It seemed that after about 2000 connections we started being unable to create more. A quick look revealed that the xfrm code used a dst_ops structure that limited the gc_thresh value to 1024, and always dropped route cache entries after 2x the gc_thresh. It seems the most direct solution is to export the gc_thresh values in the xfrm[4|6] dst_ops as sysctls, like the main routing table does, so that higher volumes of connections can be supported. This patch has been tested and allows the reporter to increase their ipsec connection volume successfully.

2009-07-20ipv4: Fix inflate_threshold_root automaticallyJarek Poplawski1-7/+22
During large updates there could be triggered warnings like: "Fix inflate_threshold_root. Now=25 size=11 bits" if inflate() of the root node isn't finished in 10 loops. It should be much rarer now, after changing the threshold from 15 to 25, and a temporary problem, so this patch tries to handle it automatically using a fix variable to increase by one inflate threshold for next root resizes (up to the 35 limit, max fix = 10). The fix variable is decreased when root's inflate() finishes below 7 loops (even if some other, smaller table/ trie is updated -- for simplicity the fix variable is global for now).

2009-07-20ipv4: Use synchronize_rcu() during trie_rebalance()Jarek Poplawski1-0/+15
During trie_rebalance() we free memory after resizing with call_rcu(), but large updates, especially with PREEMPT_NONE configs, can cause memory stresses, so this patch calls synchronize_rcu() in tnode_free_flush() after each sync_pages to guarantee such freeing (especially before resizing the root node). The value of sync_pages = 128 is based on Pawel Staszewski's tests as the lowest which doesn't hinder updating times. (For testing purposes there was a sysfs module parameter to change it on demand, but it's removed until we're sure it could be really useful.) The patch is based on suggestions by: Paul E.

2009-07-09net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacksJiri Olsa1-1/+1
Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper to wrap the memory barrier. Without the memory barrier, following race can happen. The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches. CPU1 CPU2 sys_select receive packet ... ... __add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt ... ... tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable ... { schedule ... if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep)) wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep) ... } If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and rcv_nxt are opposit to each other. Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask. In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1. The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the socket.

The patch makes absolutely no sense. RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227. are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn from.

2009-06-23ipv4 routing: Ensure that route cache entries are usable and reclaimable ↵Neil Horman1-3/+23
with caching is off When route caching is disabled (rt_caching returns false), We still use route cache entries that are created and passed into rt_intern_hash once. These routes need to be made usable for the one call path that holds a reference to them, and they need to be reclaimed when they're finished with their use. To be made usable, they need to be associated with a neighbor table entry (which they currently are not), otherwise iproute_finish2 just discards the packet, since we don't know which L2 peer to send the packet to. To do this binding, we need to follow the path a bit higher up in rt_intern_hash, which calls arp_bind_neighbour, but not assign the route entry to the hash table. Currently, if caching is off, we simply assign the route to the rp pointer and are reutrn success. This patch associates us with a neighbor entry first. Secondly, we need to make sure that any single use routes like this are known to the garbage collector when caching is off. If caching is off, and we try to hash in a route, it will leak when its refcount reaches zero. To avoid this, this patch calls rt_free on the route cache entry passed into rt_intern_hash. This places us on the gc list for the route cache garbage collector, so that when its refcount reaches zero, it will be reclaimed (Thanks to Alexey for this suggestion). I've tested this on a local system here, and with these patches in place, I'm able to maintain routed connectivity to remote systems, even if I set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count to -1, which forces rt_caching to return false.

2009-06-20ipv4: fix NULL pointer + success return in route lookup pathNeil Horman1-2/+12
Don't drop route if we're not caching I recently got a report of an oops on a route lookup. Maxime was testing what would happen if route caching was turned off (doing so by setting making rt_caching always return 0), and found that it triggered an oops. I looked at it and found that the problem stemmed from the fact that the route lookup routines were returning success from their lookup paths (which is good), but never set the **rp pointer to anything (which is bad). This happens because in rt_intern_hash, if rt_caching returns false, we call rt_drop and return 0. This almost emulates slient success. What we should be doing is assigning *rp = rt and _not_ dropping the route. This way, during slow path lookups, when we create a new route cache entry, we don't immediately discard it, rather we just don't add it into the cache hash table, but we let this one lookup use it for the purpose of this route request. Maxime has tested and reports it prevents the oops. There is still a subsequent routing issue that I'm looking into further, but I'm confident that, even if its related to this same path, this patch makes sense to take.

commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80 (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx) changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value. We need to take into account this offset when reporting sk_wmem_alloc to user, in PROC_FS files or various ioctls (SIOCOUTQ/TIOCOUTQ) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-06-18ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancing, part 2Jarek Poplawski1-14/+10
My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet. But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the return type of the trie_rebalance() function is changed.

2009-06-15ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancingJarek Poplawski1-10/+37
While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free tnodes before updating their parents. It depends on RCU delaying the real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before parent update they could access freed memory. It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side, but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions. This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list, which is flushed after the update is finished.

2009-06-13ipv4: update ARPD help textTimo Teräs1-22/+13
Removed the statements about ARP cache size as this config option does not affect it. The cache size is controlled by neigh_table gc thresholds. Remove also expiremental and obsolete markings as the API originally intended for arp caching is useful for implementing ARP-like protocols (e.g. NHRP) in user space and has been there for a long enough time.

2009-06-13net: use a deferred timer in rt_check_expireEric Dumazet1-3/+8
For the sake of power saver lovers, use a deferrable timer to fire rt_check_expire() As some big routers cache equilibrium depends on garbage collection done in time, we take into account elapsed time between two rt_check_expire() invocations to adjust the amount of slots we have to check.

2009-06-11net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each txEric Dumazet1-1/+0
One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet. This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces. We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example), where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles. We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing is delayed until all tx packets are completed. As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called. Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc) to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets are in flight. skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc reached 0 to perform the final freeing. Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket. Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.
