2016-05-03tipc: redesign connection-level flow controlJon Paul Maloy1-5/+12
There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we can never permit the receive buffer to overflow. Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message. A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches 512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a sender socket is blocked this way. A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do much better. This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is 1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which is the value we are now using. This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance. In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

2015-07-26tipc: clean up socket layer message receptionJon Paul Maloy1-1/+1
When a message is received in a socket, one of the call chains tipc_sk_rcv()->tipc_sk_enqueue()->filter_rcv()(->tipc_sk_proto_rcv()) or tipc_sk_backlog_rcv()->filter_rcv()(->tipc_sk_proto_rcv()) are followed. At each of these levels we may encounter situations where the message may need to be rejected, or a new message produced for transfer back to the sender. Despite recent improvements, the current code for doing this is perceived as awkward and hard to follow. Leveraging the two previous commits in this series, we now introduce a more uniform handling of such situations. We let each of the functions in the chain itself produce/reverse the message to be returned to the sender, but also perform the actual forwarding. This simplifies the necessary logics within each function. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-03-17tipc: fix netns refcnt leakYing Xue1-4/+0
When the TIPC module is loaded, we launch a topology server in kernel space, which in its turn is creating TIPC sockets for communication with topology server users. Because both the socket's creator and provider reside in the same module, it is necessary that the TIPC module's reference count remains zero after the server is started and the socket created; otherwise it becomes impossible to perform "rmmod" even on an idle module. Currently, we achieve this by defining a separate "tipc_proto_kern" protocol struct, that is used only for kernel space socket allocations. This structure has the "owner" field set to NULL, which restricts the module reference count from being be bumped when sk_alloc() for local sockets is called. Furthermore, we have defined three kernel-specific functions, tipc_sock_create_local(), tipc_sock_release_local() and tipc_sock_accept_local(), to avoid the module counter being modified when module local sockets are created or deleted. This has worked well until we introduced name space support. However, after name space support was introduced, we have observed that a reference count leak occurs, because the netns counter is not decremented in tipc_sock_delete_local(). This commit remedies this problem. But instead of just modifying tipc_sock_delete_local(), we eliminate the whole parallel socket handling infrastructure, and start using the regular sk_create_kern(), kernel_accept() and sk_release_kernel() calls. Since those functions manipulate the module counter, we must now compensate for that by explicitly decrementing the counter after module local sockets are created, and increment it just before calling sk_release_kernel().

2015-02-05tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast receptionJon Paul Maloy1-2/+2
In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during unicast message reception. Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps. First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful, the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the one of the input queue. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-02-05tipc: simplify socket multicast receptionJon Paul Maloy1-1/+1
The structure 'tipc_port_list' is used to collect port numbers representing multicast destination socket on a receiving node. The list is not based on a standard linked list, and is in reality optimized for the uncommon case that there are more than one multicast destinations per node. This makes the list handling unecessarily complex, and as a consequence, even the socket multicast reception becomes more complex. In this commit, we replace 'tipc_port_list' with a new 'struct tipc_plist', which is based on a standard list. We give the new list stack (push/pop) semantics, someting that simplifies the implementation of the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv().

2015-02-05tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message receptionJon Paul Maloy1-1/+1
TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer, before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible, and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates the sequentiality guarantee. We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure. Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks. This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable performance degradation. A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that will enable future simplifications of those functions.

Now tipc socket table is statically allocated as a global variable. Through it, we can look up one socket instance with port ID, insert a new socket instance to the table, and delete a socket from the table. But when tipc supports net namespace, each namespace must own its specific socket table. So the global variable of socket table must be redefined in tipc_net structure. As a concequence, a new socket table will be allocated when a new namespace is created, and a socket table will be deallocated when namespace is destroyed.

2015-01-12tipc: make tipc node table aware of net namespaceYing Xue1-2/+2
Global variables associated with node table are below: - node table list (node_htable) - node hash table list (tipc_node_list) - node table lock (node_list_lock) - node number counter (tipc_num_nodes) - node link number counter (tipc_num_links) To make node table support namespace, above global variables must be moved to tipc_net structure in order to keep secret for different namespaces. As a consequence, these variables are allocated and initialized when namespace is created, and deallocated when namespace is destroyed. After the change, functions associated with these variables have to utilize a namespace pointer to access them. So adding namespace pointer as a parameter of these functions is the major change made in the commit.

2015-01-08tipc: convert tipc reference table to use generic rhashtableYing Xue1-2/+2
As tipc reference table is statically allocated, its memory size requested on stack initialization stage is quite big even if the maximum port number is just restricted to 8191 currently, however, the number already becomes insufficient in practice. But if the maximum ports is allowed to its theory value - 2^32, its consumed memory size will reach a ridiculously unacceptable value. Apart from this, heavy tipc users spend a considerable amount of time in tipc_sk_get() due to the read-lock on ref_table_lock. If tipc reference table is converted with generic rhashtable, above mentioned both disadvantages would be resolved respectively: making use of the new resizable hash table can avoid locking on the lookup; smaller memory size is required at initial stage, for example, 256 hash bucket slots are requested at the beginning phase instead of allocating the entire 8191 slots in old mode. The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size of 1M, and it will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%, but the minimum table size is allowed down to 256. Also converts ref_table_lock to a separate mutex to protect hash table mutations on write side. Lastly defers the release of the socket reference using call_rcu() to allow using an RCU read-side protected call to rhashtable_lookup().

Instead of the linked list, we use the port registry to scan across the sockets.

2014-08-23tipc: use pseudo message to wake up sockets after link congestionJon Paul Maloy1-6/+1
The current link implementation keeps a linked list of blocked ports/ sockets that is populated when there is link congestion. The purpose of this is to let the link know which users to wake up when the congestion abates. This adds unnecessary complexity to the data structure and the code, since it forces us to involve the link each time we want to delete a socket. It also forces us to grab the spinlock port_lock within the scope of node_lock. We want to get rid of this direct dependence, as well as the deadlock hazard resulting from the usage of port_lock. In this commit, we instead let the link keep list of a "wakeup" pseudo messages for use in such situations. Those messages are sent to the pending sockets via the ordinary message reception path, and wake up the socket's owner when they are received. This enables us to get rid of the 'waiting_ports' linked lists in struct tipc_port that manifest this direct reference. As a consequence, we can eliminate another BH entry into the socket, and hence the need to grab port_lock. This is a further step in our effort to remove port_lock altogether.

There is no longer any risk for races between acknowledge messages arriving in BH and data message sending running in user context. So we merge this into one counter, 'sent_unacked', which is incremented at sending and subtracted from at acknowledge reception. - We don't need to set the 'congested' field in tipc_port to true before we sent the message, and clear it when sending is successful. (As a matter of fact, it was never necessary; the field was set in link_schedule_port() before any wakeup could arrive anyway.) - We keep the conditions for link congestion and connection connection congestion separated. There would otherwise be a risk that an arriving acknowledge message may wake up a user sleeping because of link congestion. - We can simplify reception of acknowledge messages. We also make some cosmetic/structural changes: - We rename the 'congested' field to the more correct 'link_cong´. - We rename 'conn_unacked' to 'rcv_unacked' - We move the above mentioned fields from struct tipc_port to struct tipc_sock.

We make one small protocol change here, allowed according to the spec.

This behavior is unnecessary, and might even be a security risk, so instead we now choose to only ignore the message. The consequnce for the sender is that he will need longer time to discover his mistake (until the next timeout), but this is an extreme corner case, and may happen anyway under other circumstances, so we deem this change acceptable.

2014-05-14tipc: compensate for double accounting in socket rcv bufferJon Paul Maloy1-0/+2
The function net/core/sock.c::__release_sock() runs a tight loop to move buffers from the socket backlog queue to the receive queue. As a security measure, sk_backlog.len of the receiving socket is not set to zero until after the loop is finished, i.e., until the whole backlog queue has been transferred to the receive queue. During this transfer, the data that has already been moved is counted both in the backlog queue and the receive queue, hence giving an incorrect picture of the available queue space for new arriving buffers. This leads to unnecessary rejection of buffers by sk_add_backlog(), which in TIPC leads to unnecessarily broken connections. In this commit, we compensate for this double accounting by adding a counter that keeps track of it. The function socket.c::backlog_rcv() receives buffers one by one from __release_sock(), and adds them to the socket receive queue. If the transfer is successful, it increases a new atomic counter 'tipc_sock::dupl_rcvcnt' with 'truesize' of the transferred buffer. If a new buffer arrives during this transfer and finds the socket busy (owned), we attempt to add it to the backlog. However, when sk_add_backlog() is called, we adjust the 'limit' parameter with the value of the new counter, so that the risk of inadvertent rejection is eliminated. It should be noted that this change does not invalidate the original purpose of zeroing 'sk_backlog.len' after the full transfer. We set an upper limit for dupl_rcvcnt, so that if a 'wild' sender (i.e., one that doesn't respect the send window) keeps pumping in buffers to sk_add_backlog(), he will eventually reach an upper limit, (2 x TIPC_CONN_OVERLOAD_LIMIT). After that, no messages can be added to the backlog, and the connection will be broken. Ordinary, well- behaved senders will never reach this buffer limit at all.
