Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

net: infrastructure for hardware time stamping The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1 byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp. union is used for the additional information so that it can be stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info. Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field depending on the context, optional additional structures) this is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself. TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver doesn't support hardware time stamping. The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing network device drivers which don't support hardware time stamping and know nothing about it: - they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified - the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan() Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe. The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series was tested with).

sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones.

net: make GRO aware of skb->head_frag GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area. We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb (one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory. This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a single sk_buff is fetched.

net: Fix data corruption when splicing from sockets. The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so well. The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference. But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage) this doesn't work. The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references. The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref. The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is all that the socket send side has at this point. This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet out to the device. The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the skb->data bytes into that page. This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important to get rid of the data corruption. With fixes from Herbert Xu.

The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[NET]: Speed up __alloc_skb() From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info. By initializing skb_shared_info sequentially, the write combining buffers can reduce the number of memory transactions to a single write. Reorder the initialization in __alloc_skb() to match the structure definition. There is also an alignment issue on 64 bit systems with skb_shared_info by converting nr_frags to a short everything packs up nicely. Also, pass the slab cache pointer according to the fclone flag instead of using two almost identical function calls. This raises bw_unix performance up to a peak of 707KB/s when combined with the spinlock patch. It should help other networking protocols, too. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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.

SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim.

net: __alloc_skb() speedup With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink simulator : - 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz - 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port) - RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0 - rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second) - SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload) - tg3 NIC - 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level. Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part. Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves. All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in __alloc_skb(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to take it into account for better memory accounting. This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various assumptions into a single place. At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks. Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are aligned to cache lines, as before. Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory limits that were previously not reached.

net: __alloc_skb() speedup With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink simulator : - 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz - 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port) - RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0 - rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second) - SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload) - tg3 NIC - 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level. Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part. Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves. All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in __alloc_skb(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[NET]: Speed up __alloc_skb() From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info. By initializing skb_shared_info sequentially, the write combining buffers can reduce the number of memory transactions to a single write. Reorder the initialization in __alloc_skb() to match the structure definition.

net: introduce build_skb() One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack. In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring. This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC. By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot of things happened between the allocation and final use. So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb, initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network stack. build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some drivers might add a hardware provided alignment) Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting incoming frame. data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 + SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)), GFP_ATOMIC); ... skb = build_skb(data); if (!skb) { recycle_data(data); } else { skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN); ... } Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> CC: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> CC: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> CC: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@mojatatu.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Thomas Graf <tgraf@infradead.org> CC: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> CC: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

net: introduce build_skb() One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack. In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring. This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC. By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot of things happened between the allocation and final use. So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb, initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network stack. build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some drivers might add a hardware provided alignment) Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting incoming frame. data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 + SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)), GFP_ATOMIC); ... skb = build_skb(data); if (!skb) { recycle_data(data); } else { skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN); ... } Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> CC: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> CC: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> CC: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@mojatatu.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Thomas Graf <tgraf@infradead.org> CC: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> CC: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

net: use bigger pages in __netdev_alloc_frag We currently use percpu order-0 pages in __netdev_alloc_frag to deliver fragments used by __netdev_alloc_skb() Depending on NIC driver and arch being 32 or 64 bit, it allows a page to be split in several fragments (between 1 and 8), assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096 Switching to bigger pages (32768 bytes for PAGE_SIZE=4096 case) allows : - Better filling of space (the ending hole overhead is less an issue) - Less calls to page allocator or accesses to page->_count - Could allow struct skb_shared_info futures changes without major performance impact. This patch implements a transparent fallback to smaller pages in case of memory pressure. It also uses a standard "struct page_frag" instead of a custom one.

net: Update alloc frag to reduce get/put page usage and recycle pages This patch is meant to help improve performance by reducing the number of locked operations required to allocate a frag on x86 and other platforms. This is accomplished by using atomic_set operations on the page count instead of calling get_page and put_page. It is based on work originally provided by Eric Dumazet. In addition it also helps to reduce memory overhead when using TCP. This is done by recycling the page if the only holder of the frame is the netdev_alloc_frag call itself. This can occur when skb heads are stolen by either GRO or TCP and the driver providing the packets is using paged frags to store all of the data for the packets.

net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffers This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Rename skb_has_frags to skb_has_frag_list SKBs can be "fragmented" in two ways, via a page array (called skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]) and via a list of SKBs (called skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list). Since skb_has_frags() tests the latter, it's name is confusing since it sounds more like it's testing the former. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem. The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

rps: Receive Packet Steering This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs. Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores. This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support. Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis (e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps. Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when steering it to a remote CPU. The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable /sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0). Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization. e1000e on 8 core Intel Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU forcedeth on 16 core AMD Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU bnx2x on 16 core AMD Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues) With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Caveats: - The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy. Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary. - This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation. We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this. - The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's probably best not change the masks too frequently.

netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

[SKBUFF]: Keep track of writable header len of headerless clones Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them, even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is actually writable because TCP release the header reference before cloning. The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit. I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch, but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback, probably because of the large MTU. Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and without NAT: - sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s - sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s - sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%) - sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s - sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s - sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%) - sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s - sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s - sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change) - sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s - sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s - sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.159s (~ -40%) I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement, packet mangling iptables targets, ipip and ip_gre come to mind ..

net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

[SK_BUFF]: Use offsets for skb->{mac,network,transport}_header on 64bit architectures With this we save 8 bytes per network packet, leaving a 4 bytes hole to be used in further shrinking work, likely with the offsetization of other pointers, such as ->{data,tail,end}, at the cost of adds, that were minimized by the usual practice of setting skb->{mac,nh,n}.raw to a local variable that is then accessed multiple times in each function, it also is not more expensive than before with regards to most of the handling of such headers, like setting one of these headers to another (transport to network, etc), or subtracting, adding to/from it, comparing them, etc. Now we have this layout for sk_buff on a x86_64 machine: [acme@mica net-2.6.22]$ pahole vmlinux sk_buff struct sk_buff { struct sk_buff * next; /* 0 8 */ struct sk_buff * prev; /* 8 8 */ struct rb_node rb; /* 16 24 */ struct sock * sk; /* 40 8 */ ktime_t tstamp; /* 48 8 */ struct net_device * dev; /* 56 8 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ struct net_device * input_dev; /* 64 8 */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 72 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 76 4 */ sk_buff_data_t mac_header; /* 80 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct dst_entry * dst; /* 88 8 */ struct sec_path * sp; /* 96 8 */ char cb[48]; /* 104 48 */ /* cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 24 bytes ago*/ unsigned int len; /* 152 4 */ unsigned int data_len; /* 156 4 */ unsigned int mac_len; /* 160 4 */ union { __wsum csum; /* 4 */ __u32 csum_offset; /* 4 */ }; /* 164 4 */ __u32 priority; /* 168 4 */ __u8 local_df:1; /* 172 1 */ __u8 cloned:1; /* 172 1 */ __u8 ip_summed:2; /* 172 1 */ __u8 nohdr:1; /* 172 1 */ __u8 nfctinfo:3; /* 172 1 */ __u8 pkt_type:3; /* 173 1 */ __u8 fclone:2; /* 173 1 */ __u8 ipvs_property:1; /* 173 1 */ /* XXX 2 bits hole, try to pack */ __be16 protocol; /* 174 2 */ void (*destructor)(struct sk_buff *); /* 176 8 */ struct nf_conntrack * nfct; /* 184 8 */ /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */ struct sk_buff * nfct_reasm; /* 192 8 */ struct nf_bridge_info *nf_bridge; /* 200 8 */ __u16 tc_index; /* 208 2 */ __u16 tc_verd; /* 210 2 */ dma_cookie_t dma_cookie; /* 212 4 */ __u32 secmark; /* 216 4 */ __u32 mark; /* 220 4 */ unsigned int truesize; /* 224 4 */ atomic_t users; /* 228 4 */ unsigned char * head; /* 232 8 */ unsigned char * data; /* 240 8 */ unsigned char * tail; /* 248 8 */ /* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */ unsigned char * end; /* 256 8 */ }; /* size: 264, cachelines: 5 */ /* sum members: 260, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 2 bits */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ On 32 bits nothing changes, and pointers continue to be used with the compiler turning all this abstraction layer into dust.

[NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long.

skb: Add inline helper for getting the skb end offset from head With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer - skb->head. Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non SG capable hardware. Turns out part of the problem comes from pskb_expand_head() not using ksize() to get exact head size given by kmalloc(). Doing the same thing than __alloc_skb() allows more tailroom in skb and can prevent future reallocations. As a bonus, struct skb_shared_info becomes cache line aligned.

A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

net: Fix corruption of skb csum field in pskb_expand_head() of net/core/skbuff.c Make pskb_expand_head() check ip_summed to make sure csum_start is really csum_start and not csum before adjusting it. This fixes a bug I encountered using a Sun Quad-Fast Ethernet card and VLANs. On my configuration, the sunhme driver produces skbs with differing amounts of headroom on receive depending on the packet size. See line 2030 of drivers/net/sunhme.c; packets smaller than RX_COPY_THRESHOLD have 52 bytes of headroom but packets larger than that cutoff have only 20 bytes. When these packets reach the VLAN driver, vlan_check_reorder_header() calls skb_cow(), which, if the packet has less than NET_SKB_PAD (== 32) bytes of headroom, uses pskb_expand_head() to make more. Then, pskb_expand_head() needs to adjust a lot of offsets into the skb, including csum_start. Since csum_start is a union with csum, if the packet has a valid csum value this will corrupt it, which was the effect I observed. The sunhme hardware computes receive checksums, so the skbs would be created by the driver with ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and a valid csum field, and then pskb_expand_head() would corrupt the csum field, leading to an "hw csum error" message later on, for example in icmp_rcv() for pings larger than the sunhme RX_COPY_THRESHOLD. On the basis of the comment at the beginning of include/linux/skbuff.h, I believe that the csum_start skb field is only meaningful if ip_csummed is CSUM_PARTIAL, so this patch makes pskb_expand_head() adjust it only in that case to avoid corrupting a valid csum value. Please see my more in-depth disucssion of tracking down this bug for more details if you like: http://puellavulnerata.livejournal.com/112186.html http://puellavulnerata.livejournal.com/112567.html http://puellavulnerata.livejournal.com/112891.html http://puellavulnerata.livejournal.com/113096.html http://puellavulnerata.livejournal.com/113591.html I am not subscribed to this list, so please CC me on replies.

[SKBUFF]: Keep track of writable header len of headerless clones Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them, even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is actually writable because TCP release the header reference before cloning. The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit. I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch, but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback, probably because of the large MTU. Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and without NAT: - sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s - sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s - sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%) - sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s - sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s - sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%) - sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s - sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s - sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change) - sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s - sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s - sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.159s (~ -40%) I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement, packet mangling iptables targets, ipip and ip_gre come to mind ..

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.

netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

[NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks requeueing. This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was originally created. Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump, TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.

[NET]: Update frag_list in pskb_trim When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming. This will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length or tail from the frag_list. Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment. Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet with a frag_list attached. It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix and update frag_list. Many thanks to Marco Berizzi for helping me to track down this bug. This 4-year old bug took 3 months to track down.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[NET]: Update frag_list in pskb_trim When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming. This will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length or tail from the frag_list. Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment. Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet with a frag_list attached. It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix and update frag_list.

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffers This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Fix data corruption when splicing from sockets. The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so well. The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference. But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage) this doesn't work. The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references. The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref. The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is all that the socket send side has at this point. This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet out to the device. The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the skb->data bytes into that page. This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important to get rid of the data corruption. With fixes from Herbert Xu.

net: use a per task frag allocator We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

net: use a per task frag allocator We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

net: Fix data corruption when splicing from sockets. The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so well. The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference. But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage) this doesn't work. The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references. The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref. The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is all that the socket send side has at this point. This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet out to the device. The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the skb->data bytes into that page. This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important to get rid of the data corruption. With fixes from Herbert Xu.

tcp: fix for splice receive when used with software LRO If an skb has nr_frags set to zero but its frag_list is not empty (as it can happen if software LRO is enabled), and a previous tcp_read_sock has consumed the linear part of the skb, then __skb_splice_bits: (a) incorrectly reports an error and (b) forgets to update the offset to account for the linear part Any of the two problems will cause the subsequent __skb_splice_bits call (the one that handles the frag_list skbs) to either skip data, or, if the unadjusted offset is greater then the size of the next skb in the frag_list, make tcp_splice_read loop forever.

net: Stop decapitating clones that have a head_frag This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in the event that the skb->head was cloned. This allows the other clones to track each other via shinfo->dataref. Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count, one being dataref, the other being the page count. As a result it becomes difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.

net: Fix data corruption when splicing from sockets. The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so well. The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference. But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage) this doesn't work. The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references. The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref. The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is all that the socket send side has at this point. This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet out to the device. The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the skb->data bytes into that page. This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important to get rid of the data corruption. With fixes from Herbert Xu.

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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.

tcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks. Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if that's SACKed as well. This approach has a number of benefits: 1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT 2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas) 3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all around). 4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs advance one hole at a time in the most typical case. TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal cases). I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are basically either: 1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway 2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp of the last segment there is just skewing things more off than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of the holes (besides some substle issues that would make determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway, it has nothing to do with this change then. I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop, some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the walking at that skb but again). In general, they either shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference in practice. In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the big recovery clearing cumulative ack. Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict. TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer passing to struct sacktag_state... :-) My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting tx reclaim)... [The rest is considering future work instead since I got repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that into another, later patch] ...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage: 5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space ...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long), otherwise we'll have to alloc some.

Though this to be really useful also a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs advance one hole at a time in the most typical case. TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal cases). I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are basically either: 1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway 2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp of the last segment there is just skewing things more off than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of the holes (besides some substle issues that would make determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway, it has nothing to do with this change then. I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop, some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the walking at that skb but again). In general, they either shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference in practice. In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the big recovery clearing cumulative ack. Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict. TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer passing to struct sacktag_state... :-) My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting tx reclaim)...

This approach has a number of benefits: 1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT 2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas) 3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all around). 4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs advance one hole at a time in the most typical case. TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal cases). I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are basically either: 1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway 2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp of the last segment there is just skewing things more off than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of the holes (besides some substle issues that would make determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway, it has nothing to do with this change then. I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop, some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the walking at that skb but again). In general, they either shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference in practice. In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the big recovery clearing cumulative ack. Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict.

Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet. For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating IPv6 fragments.

[IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature. 1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik. 2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet.

[NET]: Replace skb_pull/skb_postpull_rcsum with skb_pull_rcsum We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum. We can merge these two operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum. This makes sense since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the checksum. I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call csum_partial anyway. Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the len argument. As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return value which essentially means that there is no check on the len argument.

[NET]: Added GSO header verification When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain), we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware. Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the hardware if it passes the header check. This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for further segmentation.

netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

gro: fix different skb headrooms Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak). We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom. 1) fix skb_segment() skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev() 2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak. Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line needs: NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 Many thanks to Plamen Petrov, testing many debugging patches !

gso: Fix support for linear packets When GRO/frag_list support was added to GSO, I made an error which broke the support for segmenting linear GSO packets (GSO packets are normally non-linear in the payload). These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible. This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier it is still the norm. Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun in 2.6.29.

net: Add frag_list support to skb_segment This patch adds limited support for handling frag_list packets in skb_segment. The intention is to support GRO (Generic Receive Offload) packets which will be constructed by chaining normal packets using frag_list. As such we require all frag_list members terminate on exact MSS boundaries. This is checked using BUG_ON. As there should only be one producer in the kernel of such packets, namely GRO, this requirement should not be difficult to maintain.

However, this turns out to be worse than LRO because frag_list is a much less efficient form of storage than the page array. So we're better off stopping the merge and starting a new entry with an empty page array. In future we can optimise this further by doing frag_list merging but making sure that we continue to fill in the page array.

gro: Add page frag support This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags) in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list. It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's lro_receive_frags interface. The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed there. The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation. If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

gro: Fix illegal merging of trailer trash When we've merged skb's with page frags, and subsequently receive a trailer skb (< MSS) that is not completely non-linear (this can occur on Intel NICs if the packet size falls below the threshold), GRO ends up producing an illegal GSO skb with a frag_list. This is harmless unless the skb is then forwarded through an interface that requires software GSO, whereupon the GSO code will BUG. This patch detects this case in GRO and avoids merging the trailer skb. Reported-by: Mark Wagner <mwagner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

gro: fix different skb headrooms Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak). We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom. 1) fix skb_segment() skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev() 2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak. Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line needs: NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 Many thanks to Plamen Petrov, testing many debugging patches !

GRO: fix merging a paged skb after non-paged skbs Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[]. Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb: ->data_len is not decreased at all. ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag. Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return -EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall. In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver decides to switch from the former to the latter. Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat: - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero - on machine1: echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use skbs echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use pages - See that nc has quit suddenly.

gro: Add page frag support This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags) in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list. It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's lro_receive_frags interface. The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed there. The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation. If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

[NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls. This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256 [CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry. The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end(). After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is what all of the callers would end up doing anyways. I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec(). Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to __sg_mark_end() as well. Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is what led to these bugs in the first place. The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable() and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h Signed-off-by: David S.

net: convert BUG_TRAP to generic WARN_ON Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future. I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls. This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256 [CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry. The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end(). After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is what all of the callers would end up doing anyways. I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec(). Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to __sg_mark_end() as well. Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is what led to these bugs in the first place. The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable() and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[SG] Get rid of __sg_mark_end() sg_mark_end() overwrites the page_link information, but all users want __sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most natural way to use the sg list, since you'll fill it in and then mark the end point. So change sg_mark_end() to only set the termination bit. Add a sg_magic debug check as well, and clear a chain pointer if it is set. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

net: infrastructure for hardware time stamping The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1 byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp. union is used for the additional information so that it can be stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info. Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field depending on the context, optional additional structures) this is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself. TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver doesn't support hardware time stamping. The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing network device drivers which don't support hardware time stamping and know nothing about it: - they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified - the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan() Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe. The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series was tested with).

net: simplify flags for tx timestamping This patch removes the abstraction introduced by the union skb_shared_tx in the shared skb data. The access of the different union elements at several places led to some confusion about accessing the shared tx_flags e.g. in skb_orphan_try(). http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=128084897415886&w=2 Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: add wireless TX status socket option The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer. Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but injecting it with radiotap and getting the status out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and doesn't work with all hardware. To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX status option for data frame transmissions. This works similar to the existing TX timestamping in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has an int indicating ACK status (0/1). Since it is possible that at some point we will want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more than just the timestamp; keep the old constant as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard to split them up in a way that makes it possible.
