As this function can be called more than half a million times for 10GbE, it's important to optimise it as much as we can. This patch does some obvious changes to use 2-byte and 4-byte operations instead of byte-oriented ones where possible. Bit ops are also used to replace logical ops to reduce branching.

2009-01-29gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packetsHerbert Xu
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best. The fraginfo interface turned out to be suboptimal. The problem was quite obvious. For every packet, we have to copy the headers from the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge. LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers from the frags structure. This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without having to copy it. Because all drivers that use frags place the headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-26tcp: Fix length tcp_splice_data_recv passes to skb_splice_bits.Dimitris Michailidis
tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it gets from tcp_read_sock, which specifies the amount of data in the skb, and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still wants. Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes. Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data. In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than skb->len - offset. By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len. Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point) resulting in duplicated data and corruption. Fix by passing min(rd_desc->count, len) to skb_splice_bits. Signed-off-by: Dimitris Michailidis <dm@chelsio.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-26udp: optimize bind(0) if many ports are in useEric Dumazet
commit 9088c5609584684149f3fb5b065aa7f18dcb03ff (udp: Improve port randomization) introduced a regression for UDP bind() syscall to null port (getting a random port) in case lot of ports are already in use. This is because we do about 28000 scans of very long chains (220 sockets per chain), with many spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() calls. Fix this using a bitmap (64 bytes for current value of UDP_HTABLE_SIZE) so that we scan chains at most once.

This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the network namespace where needed in IPv4 multicast routing code. This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or mfc_caches depending on the routines' contexts. Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current netns: * vif_add/vif_delete * ipmr_new_tunnel * mroute_clean_tables * ipmr_cache_find * ipmr_cache_report * ipmr_cache_unresolved * ipmr_mfc_add/ipmr_mfc_delete * ipmr_get_route * rt_fill_info (in route.c) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Preliminary work to make IPv4 multicast routing netns-aware. Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: move it into struct netns_ipv4. This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine ipmr_cache_unresolved). Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in struct mfc_cache. Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration. In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.

2009-01-21inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0) time.Evgeniy Polyakov
With simple extension to the binding mechanism, which allows to bind more than 64k sockets (or smaller amount, depending on sysctl parameters), we have to traverse the whole bind hash table to find out empty bucket. And while it is not a problem for example for 32k connections, bind() completion time grows exponentially (since after each successful binding we have to traverse one bucket more to find empty one) even if we start each time from random offset inside the hash table. So, when hash table is full, and we want to add another socket, we have to traverse the whole table no matter what, so effectivelly this will be the worst case performance and it will be constant. Attached picture shows bind() time depending on number of already bound sockets. Green area corresponds to the usual binding to zero port process, which turns on kernel port selection as described above. Red area is the bind process, when number of reuse-bound sockets is not limited by 64k (or sysctl parameters). The same exponential growth (hidden by the green area) before number of ports reaches sysctl limit. At this time bind hash table has exactly one reuse-enbaled socket in a bucket, but it is possible that they have different addresses. Actually kernel selects the first port to try randomly, so at the beginning bind will take roughly constant time, but with time number of port to check after random start will increase. And that will have exponential growth, but because of above random selection, not every next port selection will necessary take longer time than previous. So we have to consider the area below in the graph (if you could zoom it, you could find, that there are many different times placed there), so area can hide another. Blue area corresponds to the port selection optimization. This is rather simple design approach: hashtable now maintains (unprecise and racely updated) number of currently bound sockets, and when number of such sockets becomes greater than predefined value (I use maximum port range defined by sysctls), we stop traversing the whole bind hash table and just stop at first matching bucket after random start. Above limit roughly corresponds to the case, when bind hash table is full and we turned on mechanism of allowing to bind more reuse-enabled sockets, so it does not change behaviour of other sockets.

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.

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.
