2016-11-07udp: do fwd memory scheduling on dequeuePaolo Abeni1-4/+3
A new argument is added to __skb_recv_datagram to provide an explicit skb destructor, invoked under the receive queue lock. The UDP protocol uses such argument to perform memory reclaiming on dequeue, so that the UDP protocol does not set anymore skb->desctructor. Instead explicit memory reclaiming is performed at close() time and when skbs are removed from the receive queue. The in kernel UDP protocol users now need to call a skb_recv_udp() variant instead of skb_recv_datagram() to properly perform memory accounting on dequeue. Overall, this allows acquiring only once the receive queue lock on dequeue. Tested using pktgen with random src port, 64 bytes packet, wire-speed on a 10G link as sender and udp_sink as the receiver, using an l4 tuple rxhash to stress the contention, and one or more udp_sink instances with reuseport. nr sinks vanilla patched 1 440 560 3 2150 2300 6 3650 3800 9 4450 4600 12 6250 6450 v1 -> v2: - do rmem and allocated memory scheduling under the receive lock - do bulk scheduling in first_packet_length() and in udp_destruct_sock() - avoid the typdef for the dequeue callback Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-10-13rxrpc: Fix checking of error from ip6_route_output()David Howells1-2/+2
ip6_route_output() doesn't return a negative error when it fails, rather the ->error field of the returned dst_entry struct needs to be checked. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Fixes: 75b54cb57ca3 ("rxrpc: Add IPv6 support") Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Fix the following checker warning: net/rxrpc/call_object.c:279 rxrpc_new_client_call() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR' where a value that's always zero is passed to ERR_PTR() so that it can be passed to a tracepoint in an auxiliary pointer field.

2016-10-06rxrpc: Don't request an ACK on the last DATA packet of a call's Tx phaseDavid Howells1-5/+6
Don't request an ACK on the last DATA packet of a call's Tx phase as for a client there will be a reply packet or some sort of ACK to shift phase. If the ACK is requested, OpenAFS sends a REQUESTED-ACK ACK with soft-ACKs in it and doesn't follow up with a hard-ACK. If we don't set the flag, OpenAFS will send a DELAY ACK that hard-ACKs the reply data, thereby allowing the call to terminate cleanly. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Need to produce an ACK for service op if op takes a long timeDavid Howells5-6/+28
We need to generate a DELAY ACK from the service end of an operation if we start doing the actual operation work and it takes longer than expected. This will hard-ACK the request data and allow the client to release its resources. To make this work: (1) We have to set the ack timer and propose an ACK when the call moves to the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_ACK_REQUEST and clear the pending ACK and cancel the timer when we start transmitting the reply (the first DATA packet of the reply implicitly ACKs the request phase). (2) It must be possible to set the timer when the caller is holding call->state_lock, so split the lock-getting part of the timer function out. (3) Add trace notes for the ACK we're requesting and the timer we clear. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Return negative error code to kernel serviceDavid Howells1-1/+1
In rxrpc_kernel_recv_data(), when we return the error number incurred by a failed call, we must negate it before returning it as it's stored as positive (that's what we have to pass back to userspace). Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Add missing notificationDavid Howells1-0/+1
The call's background processor work item needs to notify the socket when it completes a call so that recvmsg() or the AFS fs can deal with it. Without this, call expiry isn't handled. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Queue the call on expiryDavid Howells1-4/+6
When a call expires, it must be queued for the background processor to deal with otherwise a service call that is improperly terminated will just sit there awaiting an ACK and won't expire. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Partially handle OpenAFS's improper termination of callsDavid Howells1-0/+37
OpenAFS doesn't always correctly terminate client calls that it makes - this includes calls the OpenAFS servers make to the cache manager service. It should end the client call with either: (1) An ACK that has firstPacket set to one greater than the seq number of the reply DATA packet with the LAST_PACKET flag set (thereby hard-ACK'ing all packets). nAcks should be 0 and acks[] should be empty (ie. no soft-ACKs). (2) An ACKALL packet. OpenAFS, though, may send an ACK packet with firstPacket set to the last seq number or less and soft-ACKs listed for all packets up to and including the last DATA packet. The transmitter, however, is obliged to keep the call live and the soft-ACK'd DATA packets around until they're hard-ACK'd as the receiver is permitted to drop any merely soft-ACK'd packet and request retransmission by sending an ACK packet with a NACK in it. Further, OpenAFS will also terminate a client call by beginning the next client call on the same connection channel. This implicitly completes the previous call. This patch handles implicit ACK of a call on a channel by the reception of the first packet of the next call on that channel. If another call doesn't come along to implicitly ACK a call, then we have to time the call out. There are some bugs there that will be addressed in subsequent patches.

2016-10-06rxrpc: Fix loss of PING RESPONSE ACK production due to PING ACKsDavid Howells8-29/+82
Separate the output of PING ACKs from the output of other sorts of ACK so that if we receive a PING ACK and schedule transmission of a PING RESPONSE ACK, the response doesn't get cancelled by a PING ACK we happen to be scheduling transmission of at the same time. If a PING RESPONSE gets lost, the other side might just sit there waiting for it and refuse to proceed otherwise. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Fix warning by splitting rxrpc_send_call_packet()David Howells8-84/+102
Split rxrpc_send_data_packet() to separate ACK generation (which is more complicated) from ABORT generation. This simplifies the code a bit and fixes the following warning: In file included from ../net/rxrpc/output.c:20:0: net/rxrpc/output.c: In function 'rxrpc_send_call_packet': net/rxrpc/ar-internal.h:1187:27: error: 'top' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] net/rxrpc/output.c:103:24: note: 'top' was declared here net/rxrpc/output.c:225:25: error: 'hard_ack' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Only ping for lost reply in client callDavid Howells1-1/+2

2016-10-06rxrpc: Fix oops on incoming call to serviceless endpointDavid Howells1-1/+1

2016-10-06rxrpc: Accesses of rxrpc_local::service need to be RCU managedDavid Howells1-2/+2
struct rxrpc_local->service is marked __rcu - this means that accesses of it need to be managed using RCU wrappers. There are two such places in rxrpc_release_sock() where the value is checked and cleared. Fix this by using the appropriate wrappers. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-30rxrpc: Fix the call timer handlingDavid Howells2-13/+20
The call timer's concept of a call timeout (of which there are three) that is inactive is that it is the timeout has the same expiration time as the call expiration timeout (the expiration timer is never inactive). However, I'm not resetting the timeouts when they expire, leading to repeated processing of expired timeouts when other timeout events occur. Fix this by: (1) Move the timer expiry detection into rxrpc_set_timer() inside the locked section. This means that if a timeout is set that will expire immediately, we deal with it immediately. (2) If a timeout is at or before now then it has expired. When an expiry is detected, an event is raised, the timeout is automatically inactivated and the event processor is queued. (3) If a timeout is at or after the expiry timeout then it is inactive. Inactive timeouts do not contribute to the timer setting. (4) The call timer callback can now just call rxrpc_set_timer() to handle things. (5) The call processor work function now checks the event flags rather than checking the timeouts directly.

2016-09-30rxrpc: Reduce ssthresh to peer's receive windowDavid Howells1-0/+2

2016-09-30rxrpc: Switch to Congestion Avoidance mode at cwnd==ssthreshDavid Howells1-3/+3
Switch to Congestion Avoidance mode at cwnd == ssthresh rather than relying on cwnd getting incremented beyond ssthresh and the window size, the mode being shifted and then cwnd being corrected. We need to make sure we switch into CA mode so that we stop marking every packet for ACK. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-29rxrpc: Note serial number being ACK'd in the congestion management traceDavid Howells1-4/+4
Note the serial number of the packet being ACK'd in the congestion management trace rather than the serial number of the ACK packet. Whilst the serial number of the ACK packet is useful for matching ACK packet in the output of wireshark, the serial number that the ACK is in response to is of more use in working out how different trace lines relate.

2016-09-29rxrpc: Request more ACKs in slow-start modeDavid Howells1-0/+1

2016-09-29rxrpc: Reduce the rxrpc_local::services list to a pointerDavid Howells5-25/+18
Reduce the rxrpc_local::services list to just a pointer as we don't permit multiple service endpoints to bind to a single transport endpoints (this is excluded by rxrpc_lookup_local()). The reason we don't allow this is that if you send a request to an AFS filesystem service, it will try to talk back to your cache manager on the port you sent from (this is how file change notifications are handled). To prevent someone from stealing your CM callbacks, we don't let AF_RXRPC sockets share a UDP socket if at least one of them has a service bound. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-29rxrpc: When activating client conn channels, do state check inside lockDavid Howells1-11/+25
In rxrpc_activate_channels(), the connection cache state is checked outside of the lock, which means it can change whilst we're waking calls up, thereby changing whether or not we're allowed to wake calls up. Fix this by moving the check inside the locked region. The check to see if all the channels are currently busy can stay outside of the locked region. Whilst we're at it: (1) Split the locked section out into its own function so that we can call it from other places in a later patch. (2) Determine the mask of channels dependent on the state as we're going to add another state in a later patch that will restrict the number of simultaneous calls to 1 on a connection. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-29rxrpc: Make Tx loss-injection go through normal return and adjust tracingDavid Howells6-21/+15
In rxrpc_send_data_packet() make the loss-injection path return through the same code as the transmission path so that the RTT determination is initiated and any future timer shuffling will be done, despite the packet having been binned. Whilst we're at it: (1) Add to the tx_data tracepoint an indication of whether or not we're retransmitting a data packet. (2) When we're deciding whether or not to request an ACK, rather than checking if we're in fast-retransmit mode check instead if we're retransmitting. (3) Don't invoke the lose_skb tracepoint when losing a Tx packet as we're not altering the sk_buff refcount nor are we just seeing it after getting it off the Tx list. (4) The rxrpc_skb_tx_lost note is then no longer used so remove it. (5) rxrpc_lose_skb() no longer needs to deal with rxrpc_skb_tx_lost. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-29rxrpc: Fix exclusive client connectionsDavid Howells1-1/+1
Exclusive connections are currently reusable (which they shouldn't be) because rxrpc_alloc_client_connection() checks the exclusive flag in the rxrpc_connection struct before it's initialised from the function parameters. This means that the DONT_REUSE flag doesn't get set. Fix this by checking the function parameters for the exclusive flag. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Implement slow-startDavid Howells8-13/+294
Implement RxRPC slow-start, which is similar to RFC 5681 for TCP. A tracepoint is added to log the state of the congestion management algorithm and the decisions it makes. Notes: (1) Since we send fixed-size DATA packets (apart from the final packet in each phase), counters and calculations are in terms of packets rather than bytes. (2) The ACK packet carries the equivalent of TCP SACK. (3) The FLIGHT_SIZE calculation in RFC 5681 doesn't seem particularly suited to SACK of a small number of packets. It seems that, almost inevitably, by the time three 'duplicate' ACKs have been seen, we have narrowed the loss down to one or two missing packets, and the FLIGHT_SIZE calculation ends up as 2. (4) In rxrpc_resend(), if there was no data that apparently needed retransmission, we transmit a PING ACK to ask the peer to tell us what its Rx window state is.

2016-09-24rxrpc: Schedule an ACK if the reply to a client call appears overdueDavid Howells4-0/+13
If we've sent all the request data in a client call but haven't seen any sign of the reply data yet, schedule an ACK to be sent to the server to find out if the reply data got lost. If the server hasn't yet hard-ACK'd the request data, we send a PING ACK to demand a response to find out whether we need to retransmit. If the server says it has received all of the data, we send an IDLE ACK to tell the server that we haven't received anything in the receive phase as yet. To make this work, a non-immediate PING ACK must carry a delay. I've chosen the same as the IDLE ACK for the moment. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Generate a summary of the ACK state for later useDavid Howells2-11/+48
Generate a summary of the Tx buffer packet state when an ACK is received for use in a later patch that does congestion management. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Delay the resend timer to allow for nsec->jiffies conv errorDavid Howells1-2/+8
When determining the resend timer value, we have a value in nsec but the timer is in jiffies which may be a million or more times more coarse. nsecs_to_jiffies() rounds down - which means that the resend timeout expressed as jiffies is very likely earlier than the one expressed as nanoseconds from which it was derived. The problem is that rxrpc_resend() gets triggered by the timer, but can't then find anything to resend yet. It sets the timer again - but gets kicked off immediately again and again until the nanosecond-based expiry time is reached and we actually retransmit. Fix this by adding 1 to the jiffies-based resend_at value to counteract the rounding and make sure that the timer happens after the nanosecond-based expiry is passed. Alternatives would be to adjust the timestamp on the packets to align with the jiffie scale or to switch back to using jiffie-timestamps. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Reinitialise the call ACK and timer state for client reply phaseDavid Howells3-0/+11
Clear the ACK reason, ACK timer and resend timer when entering the client reply phase when the first DATA packet is received. New ACKs will be proposed once the data is queued. The resend timer is no longer relevant and we need to cancel ACKs scheduled to probe for a lost reply. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Include the last reply DATA serial number in the final ACKDavid Howells1-3/+3

2016-09-24rxrpc: Send an immediate ACK if we fill in a holeDavid Howells1-1/+9
Send an immediate ACK if we fill in a hole in the buffer left by an out-of-sequence packet. This may allow the congestion management in the peer to avoid a retransmission if packets got reordered on the wire. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Send an ACK after every few DATA packets we receiveDavid Howells4-9/+33
Send an ACK if we haven't sent one for the last two packets we've received. This keeps the other end apprised of where we've got to - which is important if they're doing slow-start. We do this in recvmsg so that we can dispatch a packet directly without the need to wake up the background thread. This should possibly be made configurable in future. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-23rxrpc: Add a tracepoint to log which packets will be retransmittedDavid Howells1-0/+2
Add a tracepoint to log in rxrpc_resend() which packets will be retransmitted. Note that if a positive ACK comes in whilst we have dropped the lock to retransmit another packet, the actual retransmission may not happen, though some of the effects will (such as altering the congestion management).

2016-09-23rxrpc: Add tracepoint for ACK proposalDavid Howells6-28/+73
Add a tracepoint to log proposed ACKs, including whether the proposal is used to update a pending ACK or is discarded in favour of an easlier, higher priority ACK. Whilst we're at it, get rid of the rxrpc_acks() function and access the name array directly. We do, however, need to validate the ACK reason number given to trace_rxrpc_rx_ack() to make sure we don't overrun the array. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2016-09-23rxrpc: Don't call the tx_ack tracepoint if don't generate an ACKDavid Howells1-15/+11
rxrpc_send_call_packet() is invoking the tx_ack tracepoint before it checks whether there's an ACK to transmit (another thread may jump in and transmit it). Fix this by only invoking the tracepoint if we get a valid ACK to transmit. Further, only allocate a serial number if we're going to actually transmit something. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-23rxrpc: Pass the last Tx packet marker in the annotation bufferDavid Howells4-45/+81
When the last packet of data to be transmitted on a call is queued, tx_top is set and then the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag is set. Unfortunately, this leaves a race in the ACK processing side of things because the flag affects the interpretation of tx_top and also allows us to start receiving reply data before we've finished transmitting. To fix this, make the following changes: (1) rxrpc_queue_packet() now sets a marker in the annotation buffer instead of setting the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag. (2) rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() detects the marker and sets the flag in the same context as the routines that use it. (3) rxrpc_end_tx_phase() is simplified to just shift the call state. The Tx window must have been rotated before calling to discard the last packet. (4) rxrpc_receiving_reply() is added to handle the arrival of the first DATA packet of a reply to a client call (which is an implicit ACK of the Tx phase). (5) The last part of rxrpc_input_ack() is reordered to perform Tx rotation, then soft-ACK application and then to end the phase if we've rotated the last packet. In the event of a terminal ACK, the soft-ACK application will be skipped as nAcks should be 0. (6) rxrpc_input_ackall() now has to rotate as well as ending the phase. In addition: (7) Alter the transmit tracepoint to log the rotation of the last packet. (8) Remove the no-longer relevant queue_reqack tracepoint note. The ACK-REQUESTED packet header flag is now set as needed when we actually transmit the packet and may vary by retransmission. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-23rxrpc: Fix call timerDavid Howells2-13/+16
Fix the call timer in the following ways: (1) If call->resend_at or call->ack_at are before or equal to the current time, then ignore that timeout. (2) If call->expire_at is before or equal to the current time, then don't set the timer at all (possibly we should queue the call). (3) Don't skip modifying the timer if timer_pending() is true. This indicates that the timer is working, not that it has expired and is running/waiting to run its expiry handler. Also call rxrpc_set_timer() to start the call timer going rather than calling add_timer(). Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-23rxrpc: Fix accidental cancellation of scheduled resend by ACK parserDavid Howells1-0/+2
When rxrpc_input_soft_acks() is parsing the soft-ACKs from an ACK packet, it updates the Tx packet annotations in the annotation buffer. If a soft-ACK is an ACK, then we overwrite unack'd, nak'd or to-be-retransmitted states and that is fine; but if the soft-ACK is an NACK, we overwrite the to-be-retransmitted with a nak - which isn't. Instead, we need to let any scheduled retransmission stand if the packet was NAK'd. Note that we don't reissue a resend if the annotation is in the to-be-retransmitted state because someone else must've scheduled the resend already. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-23rxrpc: Need to start the resend timer on initial transmissionDavid Howells3-1/+11

2016-09-23rxrpc: Don't send an ACK at the end of service call response transmissionDavid Howells1-2/+0
Don't send an IDLE ACK at the end of the transmission of the response to a service call. The service end resends DATA packets until the client sends an ACK that hard-acks all the send data. At that point, the call is complete. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-23rxrpc: Preset timestamp on Tx sk_buffsDavid Howells1-0/+5
Set the timestamp on sk_buffs holding packets to be transmitted before queueing them because the moment the packet is on the queue it can be seen by the retransmission algorithm - which may see a completely random timestamp. If the retransmission algorithm sees such a timestamp, it may retransmit the packet and, in future, tell the congestion management algorithm that the retransmit timer expired.
