2012-10-08ipv4: introduce rt_uses_gatewayJulian Anastasov1-2/+2
Add new flag to remember when route is via gateway. We will use it to allow rt_gateway to contain address of directly connected host for the cases when DST_NOCACHE is used or when the NH exception caches per-destination route without DST_NOCACHE flag, i.e. when routes are not used for other destinations. By this way we force the neighbour resolving to work with the routed destination but we can use different address in the packet, feature needed for IPVS-DR where original packet for virtual IP is routed via route to real IP.

2012-09-24net: use a per task frag allocatorEric Dumazet1-42/+28
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.

2012-08-26ipv4: fix path MTU discovery with connection trackingPatrick McHardy1-1/+3
IPv4 conntrack defragments incoming packet at the PRE_ROUTING hook and (in case of forwarded packets) refragments them at POST_ROUTING independent of the IP_DF flag. Refragmentation uses the dst_mtu() of the local route without caring about the original fragment sizes, thereby breaking PMTUD. This patch fixes this by keeping track of the largest received fragment with IP_DF set and generates an ICMP fragmentation required error during refragmentation if that size exceeds the MTU.

2012-07-22Merge branch 'kill_rtcache'David S. Miller1-1/+1
The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks. The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing cache's design were considered. What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a product of the contents of the routing tables. The former of which is controllable by external entitites. Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10. The general flow of this patch series is that first the routing cache is removed. We build a completely new rtable entry every lookup request. Next we make some simplifications due to the fact that removing the routing cache causes several members of struct rtable to become no longer necessary. Then we need to make some amends such that we can legally cache pre-constructed routes in the FIB nexthops. Firstly, we need to invalidate routes which are hit with nexthop exceptions. Secondly we have to change the semantics of rt->rt_gateway such that zero means that the destination is on-link and non-zero otherwise. Now that the preparations are ready, we start caching precomputed routes in the FIB nexthops. Output and input routes need different kinds of care when determining if we can legally do such caching or not. The details are in the commit log messages for those changes. The patch series then winds down with some more struct rtable simplifications and other tidy ups that remove unnecessary overhead. On a SPARC-T3 output route lookups are ~876 cycles. Input route lookups are ~1169 cycles with rpfilter disabled, and about ~1468 cycles with rpfilter enabled. These measurements were taken with the kbench_mod test module in the net_test_tools GIT tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net_test_tools.git That GIT tree also includes a udpflood tester tool and stresses route lookups on packet output. For example, on the same SPARC-T3 system we can run: time ./udpflood -l 10000000 10.2.2.11 with routing cache: real 1m21.955s user 0m6.530s sys 1m15.390s without routing cache: real 1m31.678s user 0m6.520s sys 1m25.140s Performance undoubtedly can easily be improved further. For example fib_table_lookup() performs a lot of excessive computations with all the masking and shifting, some of it conditionalized to deal with edge cases. Also, Eric's no-ref optimization for input route lookups can be re-instated for the FIB nexthop caching code path. I would be really pleased if someone would work on that. In fact anyone suitable motivated can just fire up perf on the loading of the test net_test_tools benchmark kernel module. I spend much of my time going: bash# perf record insmod ./kbench_mod.ko dst=172.30.42.22 src=74.128.0.1 iif=2 bash# perf report Thanks to helpful feedback from Joe Perches, Eric Dumazet, Ben Hutchings, and others.

2012-07-19ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sockEric Dumazet1-18/+32
tcp_v4_send_reset() and tcp_v4_send_ack() use a single socket per network namespace. This leads to bad behavior on multiqueue NICS, because many cpus contend for the socket lock and once socket lock is acquired, extra false sharing on various socket fields slow down the operations. To better resist to attacks, we use a percpu socket. Each cpu can run without contention, using appropriate memory (local node) Additional features : 1) We also mirror the queue_mapping of the incoming skb, so that answers use the same queue if possible. 2) Setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE socket flag speedup sock_wfree() 3) We now limit the number of in-flight RST/ACK [1] packets per cpu, instead of per namespace, and we honor the sysctl_wmem_default limit dynamically. (Prior to this patch, sysctl_wmem_default value was copied at boot time, so any further change would not affect tcp_sock limit) [1] These packets are only generated when no socket was matched for the incoming packet.

ip_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path).

2011-04-28inet: add RCU protection to inet->optEric Dumazet1-23/+21
We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options), without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt. Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us. Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt). Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying. We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new ip_options_rcu structure.
