2017-11-04tcp_nv: use do_div() instead of expensive div64_u64()Konstantin Khlebnikov1-3/+4
Average RTT is 32-bit thus full 64-bit division is redundant. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Suggested-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-11-02tcp_nv: fix division by zero in tcpnv_acked()Konstantin Khlebnikov1-1/+1
Average RTT could become zero. This happened in real life at least twice. This patch treats zero as 1us. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Acked-by: Lawrence Brakmo <Brakmo@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-10-22bpf: Add BPF_SOCKET_OPS_BASE_RTT support to tcp_nvLawrence Brakmo1-2/+38
TCP_NV will try to get the base RTT from a socket_ops BPF program if one is loaded. NV will then use the base RTT to bound its min RTT (its notion of the base RTT). It uses the base RTT as an upper bound and 80% of the base RTT as its lower bound. In other words, NV will consider filtered RTTs larger than base RTT as a sign of congestion. As a result, there is no minRTT inflation when there is a lot of congestion. For example, in a DC where the RTTs are less than 40us when there is no congestion, a base RTT value of 80us improves the performance of NV. The difference between the uncongested RTT and the base RTT provided represents how much queueing we are willing to have (in practice it can be higher). NV has been tunned to reduce congestion when there are many flows at the cost of one flow not achieving full bandwith utilization. When a reasonable base RTT is provided, one NV flow can now fully utilize the full bandwidth. In addition, the performance is also improved when there are many flows. In the following examples the NV results are using a kernel with this patch set (i.e. both NV results are using the new nv_loss_dec_factor). With one host sending to another host and only one flow the goodputs are: Cubic: 9.3 Gbps, NV: 5.5 Gbps, NV (baseRTT=80us): 9.2 Gbps With 2 hosts sending to one host (1 flow per host, the goodput per flow is: Cubic: 4.6 Gbps, NV: 4.5 Gbps, NV (baseRTT=80us)L 4.6 Gbps But the RTTs seen by a ping process in the sender is: Cubic: 3.3ms NV: 97us, NV (baseRTT=80us): 146us With a lot of flows things look even better for NV with baseRTT. Here we have 3 hosts sending to one host. Each sending host has 6 flows: 1 stream, 4x1MB RPC, 1x10KB RPC. Cubic, NV and NV with baseRTT all fully utilize the full available bandwidth. However, the distribution of bandwidth among the flows is very different. For the 10KB RPC flow: Cubic: 27Mbps, NV: 111Mbps, NV (baseRTT=80us): 222Mbps The 99% latencies for the 10KB flows are: Cubic: 26ms, NV: 1ms, NV (baseRTT=80us): 500us The RTT seen by a ping process at the senders: Cubic: 3.2ms NV: 720us, NV (baseRTT=80us): 330us Signed-off-by: Lawrence Brakmo <brakmo@fb.com> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-08-06tcp: consolidate congestion control undo functionsYuchung Cheng1-12/+1
Most TCP congestion controls are using identical logic to undo cwnd except BBR. This patch consolidates these similar functions to the one used currently by Reno and others.

2017-05-21tcpnv: do not export local functionstephen hemminger1-3/+2
The TCP New Vegas congestion control was exporting an internal function tcpnv_get_info which is not used by any other in tree kernel code. Make it static. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-06-10tcp: add NV congestion controlLawrence Brakmo1-0/+476
TCP-NV (New Vegas) is a major update to TCP-Vegas. An earlier version of NV was presented at 2010's LPC. It is a delayed based congestion avoidance for the data center. This version has been tested within a 10G rack where the HW RTTs are 20-50us and with 1 to 400 flows. A description of TCP-NV, including implementation details as well as experimental results, can be found at: http://www.brakmo.org/networking/tcp-nv/TCPNV.html Signed-off-by: Lawrence Brakmo <brakmo@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
