      net: relax expensive skb_unclone() in iptunnel_handle_offloads() · 9580bf2e
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      Locally generated TCP GSO packets having to go through a GRE/SIT/IPIP
      tunnel have to go through an expensive skb_unclone()
      
      Reallocating skb->head is a lot of work.
      
      Test should really check if a 'real clone' of the packet was done.
      
      TCP does not care if the original gso_type is changed while the packet
      travels in the stack.
      
      This adds skb_header_unclone() which is a variant of skb_clone()
      using skb_header_cloned() check instead of skb_cloned().
      
      This variant can probably be used from other points.

      ====================
      bridge: per-vlan stats
      
      This set adds support for bridge per-vlan statistics.
      In order to be able to dump statistics for many vlans we need a way to
      continue dumping after reaching maximum size, thus patches 01 and 02 extend
      the new stats API with a per-device extended link stats attribute and
      callback which can save its local state and continue where it left off
      afterwards. I considered using the already existing "fill_xstats" callback
      but it gets confusing since we need to separate the linkinfo dump from the
      new stats api dump and adding a flag/argument to do that just looks messy.
      I don't think the rtnl_link_ops size is an issue, so adding these seemed
      like the cleaner approach.
      
      Patches 03 and 04 add the stats support and netlink dump support
      respectively. The stats accounting is controlled via a bridge option which
      is default off, thus the performance impact is kept minimal.
      I've tested this set with both old and modified iproute2, kmemleak on and
      some traffic stress tests while adding/removing vlans and ports.
      
      v3:
       - drop the RCU pvid patch and remove one pointer fetch as requested
       - make stats accounting optional with default to off, the option is in the
         same cache line as vlan_proto and vlan_enabled, so it is already fetched
         before the fast path check thus the performance impact is minimal, this
         also allows us to avoid one vlan lookup and return early when using pvid
       - rebased and retested
      
      v2:
       - Improve the error checking, rename lidx to prividx and save the current
         idx user instead of restricting it to one in patch 01
       - squash patch 02 into 01 and remove the restriction
       - add callback descriptions, improve the size calculation and change the
         xstats message structure to have an embedding level per rtnl link type
         so we can avoid one call to get the link type (and thus filter on it)
         and also each link type can now have any number of private attributes
         inside
       - fix a problem where the vlan stats are not dumped if the bridge has 0
         vlans on it but has vlans on the ports, add bridge link type private
         attributes and also add paddings for future extensions to avoid at least
         a few netlink attributes and improve struct alignment
       - drop the is_skb_forwardable argument constifying patch as it's not
         needed anymore, but it's a nice cleanup which I'll send separately

      bridge: vlan: learn to count · 6dada9b1
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      
      
      Add support for per-VLAN Tx/Rx statistics. Every global vlan context gets
      allocated a per-cpu stats which is then set in each per-port vlan context
      for quick access. The br_allowed_ingress() common function is used to
      account for Rx packets and the br_handle_vlan() common function is used
      to account for Tx packets. Stats accounting is performed only if the
      bridge-wide vlan_stats_enabled option is set either via sysfs or netlink.
      A struct hole between vlan_enabled and vlan_proto is used for the new
      option so it is in the same cache line. Currently it is binary (on/off)
      but it is intentionally restricted to exactly 0 and 1 since other values
      will be used in the future for different purposes (e.g. per-port stats).

      net: rtnetlink: add linkxstats callbacks and attribute · 97a47fac
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      
      
      Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics
      which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new
      rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute.
      Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to
      be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan
      stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks).
      Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type
      attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes
      and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

      net: Cleanup IPv6 ip tunnels
      
      The IPv6 tunnel code is very different from IPv4 code. There is a lot
      of redundancy with the IPv4 code, particularly in the GRE tunneling.
      
      This patch set cleans up the tunnel code to make the IPv6 code look
      more like the IPv4 code and use common functions between the two
      stacks where possible.
      
      This work should make it easier to maintain and extend the IPv6 ip
      tunnels.
      
      Items in this patch set:
        - Cleanup IPv6 tunnel receive path (ip6_tnl_rcv). Includes using
          gro_cells and exporting ip6_tnl_rcv so the ip6_gre can call it
        - Move GRE functions to common header file (tx functions) or
          gre_demux.c (rx functions like gre_parse_header)
        - Call common GRE functions from IPv6 GRE
        - Create ip6_tnl_xmit (to be like ip_tunnel_xmit)
      
      Tested:
        Ran super_netperf tests for TCP_RR and TCP_STREAM for:
          - IPv4 over gre, gretap, gre6, gre6tap
          - IPv6 over gre, gretap, gre6, gre6tap
          - ipip
          - ip6ip6
          - ipip/gue
          - IPv6 over gre/gue
          - IPv4 over gre/gue

      ====================
      net: make TCP preemptible
      
      Most of TCP stack assumed it was running from BH handler.
      
      This is great for most things, as TCP behavior is very sensitive
      to scheduling artifacts.
      
      However, the prequeue and backlog processing are problematic,
      as they need to be flushed with BH being blocked.
      
      To cope with modern needs, TCP sockets have big sk_rcvbuf values,
      in the order of 16 MB, and soon 32 MB.
      This means that backlog can hold thousands of packets, and things
      like TCP coalescing or collapsing on this amount of packets can
      lead to insane latency spikes, since BH are blocked for too long.
      
      It is time to make UDP/TCP stacks preemptible.
      
      Note that fast path still runs from BH handler.
      
      v2: Added "tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog"

      tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog · d41a69f1
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      Large sendmsg()/write() hold socket lock for the duration of the call,
      unless sk->sk_sndbuf limit is hit. This is bad because incoming packets
      are parked into socket backlog for a long time.
      Critical decisions like fast retransmit might be delayed.
      Receivers have to maintain a big out of order queue with additional cpu
      overhead, and also possible stalls in TX once windows are full.
      
      Bidirectional flows are particularly hurt since the backlog can become
      quite big if the copy from user space triggers IO (page faults)
      
      Some applications learnt to use sendmsg() (or sendmmsg()) with small
      chunks to avoid this issue.
      
      Kernel should know better, right ?
      
      Add a generic sk_flush_backlog() helper and use it right
      before a new skb is allocated. Typically we put 64KB of payload
      per skb (unless MSG_EOR is requested) and checking socket backlog
      every 64KB gives good results.
      
      As a matter of fact, tests with TSO/GSO disabled give very nice
      results, as we manage to keep a small write queue and smaller
      perceived rtt.
      
      Note that sk_flush_backlog() maintains socket ownership,
      so is not equivalent to a {release_sock(sk); lock_sock(sk);},
      to ensure implicit atomicity rules that sendmsg() was
      giving to (possibly buggy) applications.
      
      In this simple implementation, I chose to not call tcp_release_cb(),
      but we might consider this later.

      Socket backlog processing is a major latency source.
      
      With current TCP socket sk_rcvbuf limits, I have sampled __release_sock()
      holding cpu for more than 5 ms, and packets being dropped by the NIC
      once ring buffer is filled.
      
      All users are now ready to be called from process context,
      we can unblock BH and let interrupts be serviced faster.
      
      cond_resched_softirq() could be removed, as it has no more user.
