This commit implements a new TCP congestion control algorithm: BBR
(Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT). A detailed description of BBR will be
published in ACM Queue, Vol. 14 No. 5, September-October 2016, as
"BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control".
BBR has significantly increased throughput and reduced latency for
connections on Google's internal backbone networks and google.com and
YouTube Web servers.
BBR requires only changes on the sender side, not in the network or
the receiver side. Thus it can be incrementally deployed on today's
Internet, or in datacenters.
The Internet has predominantly used loss-based congestion control
(largely Reno or CUBIC) since the 1980s, relying on packet loss as the
signal to slow down. While this worked well for many years, loss-based
congestion control is unfortunately out-dated in today's networks. On
today's Internet, loss-based congestion control causes the infamous
bufferbloat problem, often causing seconds of needless queuing delay,
since it fills the bloated buffers in many last-mile links. On today's
high-speed long-haul links using commodity switches with shallow
buffers, loss-based congestion control has abysmal throughput because
it over-reacts to losses caused by transient traffic bursts.
In 1981 Kleinrock and Gale showed that the optimal operating point for
a network maximizes delivered bandwidth while minimizing delay and
loss, not only for single connections but for the network as a
whole. Finding that optimal operating point has been elusive, since
any single network measurement is ambiguous: network measurements are
the result of both bandwidth and propagation delay, and those two
cannot be measured simultaneously.
While it is impossible to disambiguate any single bandwidth or RTT
measurement, a connection's behavior over time tells a clearer
story. BBR uses a measurement strategy designed to resolve this
ambiguity. It combines these measurements with a robust servo loop
using recent control systems advances to implement a distributed
congestion control algorithm that reacts to actual congestion, not
packet loss or transient queue delay, and is designed to converge with
high probability to a point near the optimal operating point.
In a nutshell, BBR creates an explicit model of the network pipe by
sequentially probing the bottleneck bandwidth and RTT. On the arrival
of each ACK, BBR derives the current delivery rate of the last round
trip, and feeds it through a windowed max-filter to estimate the
bottleneck bandwidth. Conversely it uses a windowed min-filter to
estimate the round trip propagation delay. The max-filtered bandwidth
and min-filtered RTT estimates form BBR's model of the network pipe.
Using its model, BBR sets control parameters to govern sending
behavior. The primary control is the pacing rate: BBR applies a gain
multiplier to transmit faster or slower than the observed bottleneck
bandwidth. The conventional congestion window (cwnd) is now the
secondary control; the cwnd is set to a small multiple of the
estimated BDP (bandwidth-delay product) in order to allow full
utilization and bandwidth probing while bounding the potential amount
of queue at the bottleneck.
When a BBR connection starts, it enters STARTUP mode and applies a
high gain to perform an exponential search to quickly probe the
bottleneck bandwidth (doubling its sending rate each round trip, like
slow start). However, instead of continuing until it fills up the
buffer (i.e. a loss), or until delay or ACK spacing reaches some
threshold (like Hystart), it uses its model of the pipe to estimate
when that pipe is full: it estimates the pipe is full when it notices
the estimated bandwidth has stopped growing. At that point it exits
STARTUP and enters DRAIN mode, where it reduces its pacing rate to
drain the queue it estimates it has created.
Then BBR enters steady state. In steady state, PROBE_BW mode cycles
between first pacing faster to probe for more bandwidth, then pacing
slower to drain any queue that created if no more bandwidth was
available, and then cruising at the estimated bandwidth to utilize the
pipe without creating excess queue. Occasionally, on an as-needed
basis, it sends significantly slower to probe for RTT (PROBE_RTT
mode).
BBR has been fully deployed on Google's wide-area backbone networks
and we're experimenting with BBR on Google.com and YouTube on a global
scale. Replacing CUBIC with BBR has resulted in significant
improvements in network latency and application (RPC, browser, and
video) metrics. For more details please refer to our upcoming ACM
Queue publication.
Example performance results, to illustrate the difference between BBR
and CUBIC:
Resilience to random loss (e.g. from shallow buffers):
Consider a netperf TCP_STREAM test lasting 30 secs on an emulated
path with a 10Gbps bottleneck, 100ms RTT, and 1% packet loss
rate. CUBIC gets 3.27 Mbps, and BBR gets 9150 Mbps (2798x higher).
Low latency with the bloated buffers common in today's last-mile links:
Consider a netperf TCP_STREAM test lasting 120 secs on an emulated
path with a 10Mbps bottleneck, 40ms RTT, and 1000-packet bottleneck
buffer. Both fully utilize the bottleneck bandwidth, but BBR
achieves this with a median RTT 25x lower (43 ms instead of 1.09
secs).
Our long-term goal is to improve the congestion control algorithms
used on the Internet. We are hopeful that BBR can help advance the
efforts toward this goal, and motivate the community to do further
research.
Test results, performance evaluations, feedback, and BBR-related
discussions are very welcome in the public e-mail list for BBR:

NOTE: BBR *must* be used with the fq qdisc ("man tc-fq") with pacing
enabled, since pacing is integral to the BBR design and
implementation. BBR without pacing would not function properly, and
may incur unnecessary high packet loss rates.

This commit introduces an optional new "omnipotent" hook,
cong_control(), for congestion control modules. The cong_control()
function is called at the end of processing an ACK (i.e., after
updating sequence numbers, the SACK scoreboard, and loss
detection). At that moment we have precise delivery rate information
the congestion control module can use to control the sending behavior
(using cwnd, TSO skb size, and pacing rate) in any CA state.
This function can also be used by a congestion control that prefers
not to use the default cwnd reduction approach (i.e., the PRR
algorithm) during CA_Recovery to control the cwnd and sending rate
during loss recovery.
We take advantage of the fact that recent changes defer the
retransmission or transmission of new data (e.g. by F-RTO) in recovery
until the new tcp_cong_control() function is run.
With this commit, we only run tcp_update_pacing_rate() if the
congestion control is not using this new API. New congestion controls
which use the new API do not want the TCP stack to run the default
pacing rate calculation and overwrite whatever pacing rate they have
chosen at initialization time.

Currently the TCP send buffer expands to twice cwnd, in order to allow
limited transmits in the CA_Recovery state. This assumes that cwnd
does not increase in the CA_Recovery.
For some congestion control algorithms, like the upcoming BBR module,
if the losses in recovery do not indicate congestion then we may
continue to raise cwnd multiplicatively in recovery. In such cases the
current multiplier will falsely limit the sending rate, much as if it
were limited by the application.
This commit adds an optional congestion control callback to use a
different multiplier to expand the TCP send buffer. For congestion
control modules that do not specificy this callback, TCP continues to
use the previous default of 2.

To allow congestion control modules to use the default TSO auto-sizing
algorithm as one of the ingredients in their own decision about TSO sizing:
1) Export tcp_tso_autosize() so that CC modules can use it.
2) Change tcp_tso_autosize() to allow callers to specify a minimum
number of segments per TSO skb, in case the congestion control
module has a different notion of the best floor for TSO skbs for
the connection right now. For very low-rate paths or policed
connections it can be appropriate to use smaller TSO skbs.

Add the tso_segs_goal() function in tcp_congestion_ops to allow the
congestion control module to specify the number of segments that
should be in a TSO skb sent by tcp_write_xmit() and
tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). The congestion control module can either
request a particular number of segments in TSO skb that we transmit,
or return 0 if it doesn't care.
This allows the upcoming BBR congestion control module to select small
TSO skb sizes if the module detects that the bottleneck bandwidth is
very low, or that the connection is policed to a low rate.

This commit export two new fields in struct tcp_info:
tcpi_delivery_rate: The most recent goodput, as measured by
tcp_rate_gen(). If the socket is limited by the sending
application (e.g., no data to send), it reports the highest
measurement instead of the most recent. The unit is bytes per
second (like other rate fields in tcp_info).
tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited: A boolean indicating if the goodput
was measured when the socket's throughput was limited by the
sending application.
This delivery rate information can be useful for applications that
want to know the current throughput the TCP connection is seeing,
e.g. adaptive bitrate video streaming. It can also be very useful for
debugging or troubleshooting.

This commit adds code to track whether the delivery rate represented
by each rate_sample was limited by the application.
Upon each transmit, we store in the is_app_limited field in the skb a
boolean bit indicating whether there is a known "bubble in the pipe":
a point in the rate sample interval where the sender was
application-limited, and did not transmit even though the cwnd and
pacing rate allowed it.
This logic marks the flow app-limited on a write if *all* of the
following are true:
1) There is less than 1 MSS of unsent data in the write queue
available to transmit.
2) There is no packet in the sender's queues (e.g. in fq or the NIC
tx queue).
3) The connection is not limited by cwnd.
4) There are no lost packets to retransmit.
The tcp_rate_check_app_limited() code in tcp_rate.c determines whether
the connection is application-limited at the moment. If the flow is
application-limited, it sets the tp->app_limited field. If the flow is
application-limited then that means there is effectively a "bubble" of
silence in the pipe now, and this silence will be reflected in a lower
bandwidth sample for any rate samples from now until we get an ACK
indicating this bubble has exited the pipe: specifically, until we get
an ACK for the next packet we transmit.
When we send every skb we record in scb->tx.is_app_limited whether the
resulting rate sample will be application-limited.
The code in tcp_rate_gen() checks to see when it is safe to mark all
known application-limited bubbles of silence as having exited the
pipe. It does this by checking to see when the delivered count moves
past the tp->app_limited marker. At this point it zeroes the
tp->app_limited marker, as all known bubbles are out of the pipe.
We make room for the tx.is_app_limited bit in the skb by borrowing a
bit from the in_flight field used by NV to record the number of bytes
in flight. The receive window in the TCP header is 16 bits, and the
max receive window scaling shift factor is 14 (RFC 1323). So the max
receive window offered by the TCP protocol is 2^(16+14) = 2^30. So we
only need 30 bits for the tx.in_flight used by NV.

This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a
per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control
modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in
this series.
Key state:
tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not)
delivered so far. This is an already-existing field.
tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated.
Algorithm:
A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis:
d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK
t1: the current time after processing the ACK
d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted
t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted
When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control
block in tcp_rate_skb_sent().
When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed
or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct
to reflect the latest (d0, t0).
Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing
(d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us.
One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then
tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is
starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case,
we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp.
At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was
transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to
phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery
rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are
times at which packets were marked delivered.
If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted
by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps
caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects
both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach
this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT
(duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the
associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth
overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation
from:
bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt
to the following:
bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt)
In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating
send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to
ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

Count the number of packets that a TCP connection marks lost.
Congestion control modules can use this loss rate information for more
intelligent decisions about how fast to send.
Specifically, this is used in TCP BBR policer detection. BBR uses a
high packet loss rate as one signal in its policer detection and
policer bandwidth estimation algorithm.
The BBR policer detection algorithm cannot simply track retransmits,
because a retransmit can be (and often is) an indicator of packets
lost long, long ago. This is particularly true in a long CA_Loss
period that repairs the initial massive losses when a policer kicks
in.

Revert to the tcp_skb_cb size check that tcp_init() had before commit
b4772ef879a8 ("net: use common macro for assering skb->cb[] available
size in protocol families"). As related commit 744d5a3e9fe2 ("net:
move skb->dropcount to skb->cb[]") explains, the
sock_skb_cb_check_size() mechanism was added to ensure that there is
space for dropcount, "for protocol families using it". But TCP is not
a protocol using dropcount, so tcp_init() doesn't need to provision
space for dropcount in the skb->cb[], and thus we can revert to the
older form of the tcp_skb_cb size check. Doing so allows TCP to use 4
more bytes of the skb->cb[] space.

This commit adds to the fq module a low_rate_threshold parameter to
insert a delay after all packets if the socket requests a pacing rate
below the threshold.
This helps achieve more precise control of the sending rate with
low-rate paths, especially policers. The basic issue is that if a
congestion control module detects a policer at a certain rate, it may
want fq to be able to shape to that policed rate. That way the sender
can avoid policer drops by having the packets arrive at the policer at
or just under the policed rate.
The default threshold of 550Kbps was chosen analytically so that for
policers or links at 500Kbps or 512Kbps fq would very likely invoke
this mechanism, even if the pacing rate was briefly slightly above the
available bandwidth. This value was then empirically validated with
two years of production testing on YouTube video servers.

This commit introduces a generic library to estimate either the min or
max value of a time-varying variable over a recent time window. This
is code originally from Kathleen Nichols. The current form of the code
is from Van Jacobson.
A single struct minmax_sample will track the estimated windowed-max
value of the series if you call minmax_running_max() or the estimated
windowed-min value of the series if you call minmax_running_min().
Nearly equivalent code is already in place for minimum RTT estimation
in the TCP stack. This commit extracts that code and generalizes it to
handle both min and max. Moving the code here reduces the footprint
and complexity of the TCP code base and makes the filter generally
available for other parts of the codebase, including an upcoming TCP
congestion control module.
This library works well for time series where the measurements are
smoothly increasing or decreasing.

The upcoming change "lib/win_minmax: windowed min or max estimator"
introduces a struct called minmax, which is then included in
include/linux/tcp.h in the upcoming change "tcp: use windowed min
filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation". This would create a
compilation error for tcp_cdg.c, which defines its own minmax
struct. To avoid this naming conflict (and potentially others in the

An address can be loaded in the ATU with multiple ports, for instance
when adding multiple ports to a Multicast group with "bridge mdb".
The current code doesn't allow that. Add an helper to get a single entry
from the ATU, then set or clear the requested port, before loading the
entry back in the ATU.
Note that the required _mv88e6xxx_atu_getnext function is defined below

This work implements direct packet access for helpers and direct packet
write in a similar fashion as already available for XDP types via commits
4acf6c0b84c9 ("bpf: enable direct packet data write for xdp progs") and
6841de8b0d03 ("bpf: allow helpers access the packet directly"), and as a
complementary feature to the already available direct packet read for tc
(cls/act) programs.
For enabling this, we need to introduce two helpers, bpf_skb_pull_data()
and bpf_csum_update(). The first is generally needed for both, read and
write, because they would otherwise only be limited to the current linear
skb head. Usually, when the data_end test fails, programs just bail out,
or, in the direct read case, use bpf_skb_load_bytes() as an alternative
to overcome this limitation. If such data sits in non-linear parts, we
can just pull them in once with the new helper, retest and eventually
access them.
At the same time, this also makes sure the skb is uncloned, which is, of
course, a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs to be an
invariant for the write part only, the verifier detects writes and adds
a prologue that is calling bpf_skb_pull_data() to effectively unclone the
skb from the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned. The heuristic
makes use of a similar trick that was done in 233577a22089 ("net: filter:
constify detection of pkt_type_offset"). This comes at zero cost for other
programs that do not use the direct write feature. Should a program use
this feature only sparsely and has read access for the most parts with,
for example, drop return codes, then such write action can be delegated
to a tail called program for mitigating this cost of potential uncloning
to a late point in time where it would have been paid similarly with the
bpf_skb_store_bytes() as well. Advantage of direct write is that the
writes are inlined whereas the helper cannot make any length assumptions
and thus needs to generate a call to memcpy() also for small sizes, as well
as cost of helper call itself with sanity checks are avoided. Plus, when
direct read is already used, we don't need to cache or perform rechecks
on the data boundaries (due to verifier invalidating previous checks for
helpers that change skb->data), so more complex programs using rewrites
can benefit from switching to direct read plus write.
For direct packet access to helpers, we save the otherwise needed copy into
a temp struct sitting on stack memory when use-case allows. Both facilities
are enabled via may_access_direct_pkt_data() in verifier. For now, we limit
this to map helpers and csum_diff, and can successively enable other helpers
where we find it makes sense. Helpers that definitely cannot be allowed for
this are those part of bpf_helper_changes_skb_data() since they can change
underlying data, and those that write into memory as this could happen for
packet typed args when still cloned. bpf_csum_update() helper accommodates
for the fact that we need to fixup checksum_complete when using direct write
instead of bpf_skb_store_bytes(), meaning the programs can use available
helpers like bpf_csum_diff(), and implement csum_add(), csum_sub(),
csum_block_add(), csum_block_sub() equivalents in eBPF together with the
new helper. A usage example will be provided for iproute2's examples/bpf/
directory.

Current contract for the following two helper argument types is:
* ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE: passed argument pair must be (ptr, >0).
* ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE_OR_ZERO: passed argument pair can be either
(NULL, 0) or (ptr, >0).
With 6841de8b0d03 ("bpf: allow helpers access the packet directly"), we can
pass also raw packet data to helpers, so depending on the argument type
being PTR_TO_PACKET, we now either assert memory via check_packet_access()
or check_stack_boundary(). As a result, the tests in check_packet_access()
currently allow more than intended with regards to reg->imm.
Back in 969bf05eb3ce ("bpf: direct packet access"), check_packet_access()
was fine to ignore size argument since in check_mem_access() size was
bpf_size_to_bytes() derived and prior to the call to check_packet_access()
guaranteed to be larger than zero.
However, for the above two argument types, it currently means, we can have
a <= 0 size and thus breaking current guarantees for helpers. Enforce a
check for size <= 0 and bail out if so.
check_stack_boundary() doesn't have such an issue since it already tests
for access_size <= 0 and bails out, resp. access_size == 0 in case of NULL
pointer passed when allowed.

The change missed an opportunity for recycling the RX page, instead of

rhashtable: rhashtable with duplicate objects
v3 fixes a bug in the remove path that causes the element count
to decrease when it shouldn't, leading to a gigantic hash table
when it underflows.
v2 contains a reworked insertion slowpath to ensure that the
spinlock for the table we're inserting into is taken.
This series contains two patches. The first adds the rhlist
interface and the second converts mac80211 to use it. If this
works out I'll then proceed to convert the other insecure_elasticity
users over to this.
I've tested the rhlist code with test_rhashtable but I haven't

mac80211 currently uses rhashtable with insecure_elasticity set
to true. The latter is because of duplicate objects. What's
more, mac80211 walks the rhashtable chains by hand which is broken
as rhashtable may contain multiple tables due to resizing or
rehashing.
This patch fixes it by converting it to the newly added rhltable
interface which is designed for use with duplicate objects.
With rhltable a lookup returns a list of objects instead of a
single one. This is then fed into the existing for_each_sta_info
macro.
This patch also deletes the sta_addr_hash function since rhashtable
defaults to jhash.

The insecure_elasticity setting is an ugly wart brought out by
users who need to insert duplicate objects (that is, distinct
objects with identical keys) into the same table.
In fact, those users have a much bigger problem. Once those
duplicate objects are inserted, they don't have an interface to
find them (unless you count the walker interface which walks
over the entire table).
Some users have resorted to doing a manual walk over the hash
table which is of course broken because they don't handle the
potential existence of multiple hash tables. The result is that
they will break sporadically when they encounter a hash table
resize/rehash.
This patch provides a way out for those users, at the expense
of an extra pointer per object. Essentially each object is now
a list of objects carrying the same key. The hash table will
only see the lists so nothing changes as far as rhashtable is
concerned.
To use this new interface, you need to insert a struct rhlist_head
into your objects instead of struct rhash_head. While the hash
table is unchanged, for type-safety you'll need to use struct
rhltable instead of struct rhashtable. All the existing interfaces
have been duplicated for rhlist, including the hash table walker.
One missing feature is nulls marking because AFAIK the only potential
user of it does not need duplicate objects. Should anyone need
this it shouldn't be too hard to add.

Small packet loss is reported on complex multi host network configurations
including tunnels, NAT, ... My investigation led me to the following check
in netback which drops packets:
if (unlikely(txreq.size < ETH_HLEN)) {
netdev_err(queue->vif->dev,
"Bad packet size: %d\n", txreq.size);
xenvif_tx_err(queue, &txreq, extra_count, idx);
break;
}
But this check itself is legitimate. SKBs consist of a linear part (which
has to have the ethernet header) and (optionally) a number of frags.
Netfront transmits the head of the linear part up to the page boundary
as the first request and all the rest becomes frags so when we're
reconstructing the SKB in netback we can't distinguish between original
frags and the 'tail' of the linear part. The first SKB needs to be at
least ETH_HLEN size. So in case we have an SKB with its linear part
starting too close to the page boundary the packet is lost.
I see two ways to fix the issue:
- Change the 'wire' protocol between netfront and netback to start keeping
the original SKB structure. We'll have to add a flag indicating the fact
that the particular request is a part of the original linear part and not
a frag. We'll need to know the length of the linear part to pre-allocate
memory.
- Avoid transmitting SKBs with linear parts starting too close to the page
boundary. That seems preferable short-term and shouldn't bring
significant performance degradation as such packets are rare. That's what
this patch is trying to achieve with skb_copy().

Sample use case of how this is encoded:
user space via tuntap (or a connected VM/Machine/container)
encodes the tcindex TLV.
Sample use case of decoding:
IFE action decodes it and the skb->tc_index is then used to classify.
So something like this for encoded ICMP packets:
.. first decode then reclassify... skb->tcindex will be set
sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 2 protocol 0xbeef \
u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \
action ife decode reclassify
...next match the decode icmp packet...
sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 4 protocol ip \
u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:1 \
action continue
... last classify it using the tcindex classifier and do someaction..
