2009-01-14gso: Ensure that the packet is long enoughHerbert Xu

2009-01-13tcp: splice as many packets as possible at onceWilly Tarreau
As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not optimal. It processes at most one segment per call. This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO. Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less often. With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return 16*1460 = 23360 bytes.

2009-01-06dmaengine: up-level reference counting to the module levelDan Williams
Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module removal. Why?, beyond reducing complication: 1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line bouncing effects. 2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or dma-slave) 3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

2008-12-25tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxtHerbert Xu
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode.

In addition, the ID must form an arithmetic sequence with a difference of one. The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this whether GSO is in use or not. In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate skb's tail).

2008-12-09tcp: tcp_vegas cong avoid fix Doug Leith
This patch addresses a book-keeping issue in tcp_vegas.c. At present tcp_vegas does separate book-keeping of cwnd based on packet sequence numbers. A mismatch can develop between this book-keeping and tp->snd_cwnd due, for example, to delayed acks acking multiple packets. When vegas transitions to reno operation (e.g. following loss), then this mismatch leads to incorrect behaviour (akin to a cwnd backoff). This seems mostly to affect operation at low cwnds where delayed acking can lead to a significant fraction of cwnd being covered by a single ack, leading to the book-keeping mismatch. This patch modifies the congestion avoidance update to avoid the need for separate book-keeping while leaving vegas congestion avoidance functionally unchanged. A secondary advantage of this modification is that the use of fixed-point (via V_PARAM_SHIFT) and 64 bit arithmetic is no longer necessary, simplifying the code. Some example test measurements with the patched code (confirming no functional change in the congestion avoidance algorithm) can be seen at: http://www.hamilton.ie/doug/vegaspatch/ Signed-off-by: Doug Leith <doug.leith@nuim.ie> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves ssthresh untouched.

One example where this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

2008-12-03net: /proc/net/ip_mr_cache, display Iif as a signed shortBenjamin Thery
Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache. Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue: 'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer. In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define: #define ALL_VIFS ((vifi_t)(-1)) That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2 thought a -1 should be expected. I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally? I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It is a resolved cache entry, 10 packets used it... The second line represents an unresolved entry, and the columns Pkts(4th), Bytes(5th) and Wrong(6th) just show garbage. In struct mfc_cache, there's an union to store data for resolved and unresolved cases. And what ipmr_mfc_seq_show() is printing in these columns for the unresolved entries is some bytes from mfc_cache.mfc_un.res. Bad. (eg. In our case -559067475 is in fact 0xdead4ead which is the spinlock magic from mfc_cache.mfc_un.unres.unresolved.lock.magic). This patch replaces the garbage data written in these columns for the unresolved entries by '0' (zeros) which is more correct. This change doesn't break the ABI. Also, mfc->mfc_un.res.pkt, mfc->mfc_un.res.bytes, mfc->mfc_un.res.wrong_if are unsigned long. It applies on top of net-next-2.6. The patch for net-2.6 is slightly different because of the NIP6_FMT to %pI6 conversion that was made in the seq_printf.

Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could be that something was changed down the road, or it might have been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from ~64k before the urg point. The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

2008-12-01net: percpu_counter_inc() should not be called in BH-disabled sectionEric Dumazet
Based upon a lockdep report by Alexey Dobriyan. I checked all per_cpu_counter_xxx() usages in network tree, and I think all call sites are BH enabled except one in inet_csk_listen_stop(). commit dd24c00191d5e4a1ae896aafe33c6b8095ab4bd1 (net: Use a percpu_counter for orphan_count) replaced atomic_t orphan_count to a percpu_counter. atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() can be called from any context, while percpu_counter_xxx() should be called from a consistent state. For orphan_count, this context can be the BH-enabled one. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-11-25net: Use a percpu_counter for orphan_countEric Dumazet
Instead of using one atomic_t per protocol, use a percpu_counter for "orphan_count", to reduce cache line contention on heavy duty network servers. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
