Now lookups go directly into the FIB trie and use prebuilt routes cached there. No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance, no matter what the pattern of traffic we service. This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who have helped along the way. I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to fix things :-) The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description of the motivations and implementation issues. 2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on input. 3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao Feng. 5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from Yuval Mintz. 6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver, from Jiri Pirko. 9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with embedded gotos. 10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels, this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments, from Alexander Duyck. 12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from Eric Dumazet. 13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up fastopen data. 14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1870 commits) genetlink: define lockdep_genl_is_held() when CONFIG_LOCKDEP r8169: revert "add byte queue limit support". ipv4: Change rt->rt_iif encoding. net: Make skb->skb_iif always track skb->dev ipv4: Prepare for change of rt->rt_iif encoding. ipv4: Remove all RTCF_DIRECTSRC handliing. ipv4: Really ignore ICMP address requests/replies. decnet: Don't set RTCF_DIRECTSRC. net/ipv4/ip_vti.c: Fix __rcu warnings detected by sparse. ipv4: Remove redundant assignment rds: set correct msg_namelen openvswitch: potential NULL deref in sample() tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications bnx2x: Add new 57840 device IDs tcp: avoid oops in tcp_metrics and reset tcpm_stamp niu: Change niu_rbr_fill() to use unlikely() to check niu_rbr_add_page() return value niu: Fix to check for dma mapping errors. net: Fix references to out-of-scope variables in put_cmsg_compat() net: ethernet: davinci_emac: add pm_runtime support net: ethernet: davinci_emac: Remove unnecessary #include ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On input packet processing, rt->rt_iif will be zero if we should use skb->dev->ifindex. Since we access rt->rt_iif consistently via inet_iif(), that is the only spot whose interpretation have to adjust. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * ipv4: Prepare for change of rt->rt_iif encoding.David S. Miller2012-07-2310-27/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of cached RX dst in inet sock. rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively. When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will be set to zero. This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4 specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6 input paths yet. Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check callback. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There are also a number of cases wher recvfrom() can return an entirely bogus address. Anything in rds_recvmsg() that returns a non-negative value but does not go through the "sin = (struct sockaddr_in *)msg->msg_name;" code path at the end of the while(1) loop will return up to 128 bytes of kernel memory to userspace. And I write two test programs to reproduce this bug, you will see that in rds_server, fromAddr will be overwritten and the following sock_fd will be destroyed. Yes, it is the programmer's fault to set msg_namelen incorrectly, but it is better to make the kernel copy the real length of address to user space in such case. How to run the test programs ?

| * tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indicationsEric Dumazet2012-07-235-21/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit) One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu)); We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e6 (ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag). Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp sessions paid a too big latency increase price. This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay is added in TCP transmits.

The silicon default value is still the currently supported 57840 device ID (0x168d), and since a user can damage the nvram (e.g., 'ethtool -E') the driver will still support this device ID to allow the user to amend the nvram back into a supported configuration.

The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing cache's design were considered. What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a product of the contents of the routing tables. The former of which is controllable by external entitites. Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10. The general flow of this patch series is that first the routing cache is removed. We build a completely new rtable entry every lookup request. Next we make some simplifications due to the fact that removing the routing cache causes several members of struct rtable to become no longer necessary. Then we need to make some amends such that we can legally cache pre-constructed routes in the FIB nexthops. Firstly, we need to invalidate routes which are hit with nexthop exceptions. Secondly we have to change the semantics of rt->rt_gateway such that zero means that the destination is on-link and non-zero otherwise. Now that the preparations are ready, we start caching precomputed routes in the FIB nexthops. Output and input routes need different kinds of care when determining if we can legally do such caching or not. The details are in the commit log messages for those changes. The patch series then winds down with some more struct rtable simplifications and other tidy ups that remove unnecessary overhead. On a SPARC-T3 output route lookups are ~876 cycles. Input route lookups are ~1169 cycles with rpfilter disabled, and about ~1468 cycles with rpfilter enabled. These measurements were taken with the kbench_mod test module in the net_test_tools GIT tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net_test_tools.git That GIT tree also includes a udpflood tester tool and stresses route lookups on packet output. For example, on the same SPARC-T3 system we can run: time ./udpflood -l 10000000 10.2.2.11 with routing cache: real 1m21.955s user 0m6.530s sys 1m15.390s without routing cache: real 1m31.678s user 0m6.520s sys 1m25.140s Performance undoubtedly can easily be improved further. For example fib_table_lookup() performs a lot of excessive computations with all the masking and shifting, some of it conditionalized to deal with edge cases. Also, Eric's no-ref optimization for input route lookups can be re-instated for the FIB nexthop caching code path. I would be really pleased if someone would work on that. In fact anyone suitable motivated can just fire up perf on the loading of the test net_test_tools benchmark kernel module. I spend much of my time going: bash# perf record insmod ./kbench_mod.ko dst=172.30.42.22 src=74.128.0.1 iif=2 bash# perf report Thanks to helpful feedback from Joe Perches, Eric Dumazet, Ben Hutchings, and others.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's not really needed. We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info local metrics. However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their private metrics (if any). We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables. Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these metric values would occur. Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Caching input routes is slightly simpler than output routes, since we don't need to be concerned with nexthop exceptions. (locally destined, and routed packets, never trigger PMTU events or redirects that will be processed by us). However, we have to elide caching for the DIRECTSRC and non-zero itag cases.

| | * ipv4: Cache output routes in fib_info nexthops.David S. Miller2012-07-203-43/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have an output route that lacks nexthop exceptions, we can cache it in the FIB info nexthop. Such routes will have DST_HOST cleared because such routes refer to a family of destinations, rather than just one. The sequence of the handling of exceptions during route lookup is adjusted to make the logic work properly. Before we allocate the route, we lookup the exception. Then we know if we will cache this route or not, and therefore whether DST_HOST should be set on the allocated route. Then we use DST_HOST to key off whether we should store the resulting route, during rt_set_nexthop(), in the FIB nexthop cache. With help from Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to allow prefixed routes, we have to adjust how rt_gateway is set and interpreted. The new interpretation is: 1) rt_gateway == 0, destination is on-link, nexthop is iph->daddr 2) rt_gateway != 0, destination requires a nexthop gateway Abstract the fetching of the proper nexthop value using a new inline helper, rt_nexthop(), as suggested by Joe Perches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks. The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing cache's design were considered. What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a product of the contents of the routing tables. The former of which is controllable by external entitites. Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10. Signed-off-by: David S.

This allows sockets that may be used by a kernel worker thread to be managed. For example in the iscsi case today a user can put iscsid in a netprio cgroup and control traffic will be sent with the correct sk_cgrp_prioidx value set but as soon as data is sent the kernel worker thread isssues a send and sk_cgrp_prioidx is updated with the kernel worker threads value which is the default case. It seems more correct to only update the field when the user explicitly sets it via control group infrastructure. This allows the users to manage sockets that may be used with other threads.
