2014-10-17ipv6: introduce tcp_v6_iif()Eric Dumazet1-0/+9
Commit 971f10eca186 ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses") added a regression for SO_BINDTODEVICE on IPv6. This is because we still use inet6_iif() which expects that IP6 control block is still at the beginning of skb->cb[] This patch adds tcp_v6_iif() helper and uses it where necessary. Because __inet6_lookup_skb() is used by TCP and DCCP, we add an iif parameter to it.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.

2014-09-29net: tcp: more detailed ACK events and events for CE marked packetsFlorian Westphal1-1/+8
DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) determines cwnd growth based on ECN information and ACK properties, e.g. ACK that updates window is treated differently than DUPACK. Also DCTCP needs information whether ACK was delayed ACK. Furthermore, DCTCP also implements a CE state machine that keeps track of CE markings of incoming packets. Therefore, extend the congestion control framework to provide these event types, so that DCTCP can be properly implemented as a normal congestion algorithm module outside of the core stack.

The congestion control ops "cwnd_event" currently supports CA_EVENT_FAST_ACK and CA_EVENT_SLOW_ACK events (among others). Both FAST and SLOW_ACK are only used by Westwood congestion control algorithm. This removes both flags from cwnd_event and adds a new in_ack_event callback for this. The goal is to be able to provide more detailed information about ACKs, such as whether ECE flag was set, or whether the ACK resulted in a window update. It is required for DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control algorithm as it makes a different choice depending on ECE being set or not. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann and Glenn Judd.

2014-09-29net: tcp: add flag for ca to indicate that ECN is requiredDaniel Borkmann1-17/+44
This patch adds a flag to TCP congestion algorithms that allows for requesting to mark IPv4/IPv6 sockets with transport as ECN capable, that is, ECT(0), when required by a congestion algorithm. It is currently used and needed in DataCenter TCP (DCTCP), as it requires both peers to assert ECT on all IP packets sent - it uses ECN feedback (i.e. CE, Congestion Encountered information) from switches inside the data center to derive feedback to the end hosts. Therefore, simply add a new flag to icsk_ca_ops. Note that DCTCP's algorithm/behaviour slightly diverges from RFC3168, therefore this is only (!) enabled iff the assigned congestion control ops module has requested this. By that, we can tightly couple this logic really only to the provided congestion control ops. Joint work with Florian Westphal and Glenn Judd.

2014-09-29net: tcp: assign tcp cong_ops when tcp sk is createdFlorian Westphal1-1/+1
Split assignment and initialization from one into two functions. This is required by followup patches that add Datacenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control algorithm - we need to be able to determine if the connection is moderated by DCTCP before the 3WHS has finished. As we walk the available congestion control list during the assignment, we are always guaranteed to have Reno present as it's fixed compiled-in. Therefore, since we're doing the early assignment, we don't have a real use for the Reno alias tcp_init_congestion_ops anymore and can thus remove it. Actual usage of the congestion control operations are being made after the 3WHS has finished, in some cases however we can access get_info() via diag if implemented, therefore we need to zero out the private area for those modules.

2014-09-28tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() locationEric Dumazet1-2/+21
Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in a write or receive queue when doing the various walks. After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done. Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs 3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb) This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in write queue. This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible. This also speeds up all sack processing in general. This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty shinfo. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-09-28tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line missesEric Dumazet1-6/+6
TCP maintains lists of skb in write queue, and in receive queues (in order and out of order queues) Scanning these lists both in input and output path usually requires access to skb->next, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq These fields are currently in two different cache lines, meaning we waste lot of memory bandwidth when these queues are big and flows have either packet drops or packet reorders. We can move TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at the end of TCP_SKB_CB, because this header is not used in fast path. This allows TCP to search much faster in the skb lists. Even with regular flows, we save one cache line miss in fast path. Thanks to Christoph Paasch for noticing we need to cleanup skb->cb[] (IPCB/IP6CB) before entering IP stack in tx path, and that I forgot IPCB use in tcp_v4_hnd_req() and tcp_v4_save_options().

2014-08-14tcp: don't allow syn packets without timestamps to pass tcp_tw_recycle logicHannes Frederic Sowa1-1/+1
tcp_tw_recycle heavily relies on tcp timestamps to build a per-host ordering of incoming connections and teardowns without the need to hold state on a specific quadruple for TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN, but only for the last measured RTO. To do so, we keep the last seen timestamp in a per-host indexed data structure and verify if the incoming timestamp in a connection request is strictly greater than the saved one during last connection teardown. Thus we can verify later on that no old data packets will be accepted by the new connection. During moving a socket to time-wait state we already verify if timestamps where seen on a connection. Only if that was the case we let the time-wait socket expire after the RTO, otherwise normal TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN will be used. But we don't verify this on incoming SYN packets. If a connection teardown was less than TCP_PAWS_MSL seconds in the past we cannot guarantee to not accept data packets from an old connection if no timestamps are present. We should drop this SYN packet. This patch closes this loophole. Please note, this patch does not make tcp_tw_recycle in any way more usable but only adds another safety check: Sporadic drops of SYN packets because of reordering in the network or in the socket backlog queues can happen. Users behing NAT trying to connect to a tcp_tw_recycle enabled server can get caught in blackholes and their connection requests may regullary get dropped because hosts behind an address translator don't have synchronized tcp timestamp clocks. tcp_tw_recycle cannot work if peers don't have tcp timestamps enabled. In general, use of tcp_tw_recycle is disadvised.

2014-08-05tcp: reduce spurious retransmits due to transient SACK renegingNeal Cardwell1-1/+1
This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay. When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April 2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014, where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box. Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit (potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the sender. To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard and enter CA_Loss. A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at 56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested paths, we wait for at least RTT/2. We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging: (1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms (2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2 In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by 75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

Always store in snt_synack the time at which the server received the first client SYN and attempted to send the first SYNACK. Recent commit aa27fc501 ("tcp: tcp_v[46]_conn_request: fix snt_synack initialization") resolved an inconsistency between IPv4 and IPv6 in the initialization of snt_synack. This commit brings back the idea from 843f4a55e (tcp: use tcp_v4_send_synack on first SYN-ACK), which was going for the original behavior of snt_synack from the commit where it was added in 9ad7c049f0f79 ("tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open side") in v3.1. In addition to being simpler (and probably a tiny bit faster), unconditionally storing the time of the first SYNACK attempt has been useful because it allows calculating a performance metric quantifying how long it took to establish a passive TCP connection.

2014-05-22tcp: make cwnd-limited checks measurement-based, and gentlerNeal Cardwell1-3/+8
Experience with the recent e114a710aa50 ("tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion control") has shown that there are common cases where that commit can cause cwnd to be much larger than necessary. This leads to TSO autosizing cooking skbs that are too large, among other things. The main problems seemed to be: (1) That commit attempted to predict the future behavior of the connection by looking at the write queue (if TSO or TSQ limit sending). That prediction sometimes overestimated future outstanding packets. (2) That commit always allowed cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding packets (even in congestion avoidance, where this is not needed). This commit improves both of these, by: (1) Switching to a measurement-based approach where we explicitly track the largest number of packets in flight during the past window ("max_packets_out"), and remember whether we were cwnd-limited at the moment we finished sending that flight. (2) Only allowing cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding packets ("max_packets_out") in slow start. In congestion avoidance mode we now only allow cwnd to grow if it was fully utilized.

2014-05-13tcp: use tcp_v4_send_synack on first SYN-ACKYuchung Cheng1-7/+7
To avoid large code duplication in IPv6, we need to first simplify the complicate SYN-ACK sending code in tcp_v4_conn_request(). To use tcp_v4(6)_send_synack() to send all SYN-ACKs, we need to initialize the mini socket's receive window before trying to create the child socket and/or building the SYN-ACK packet. So we move that initialization from tcp_make_synack() to tcp_v4_conn_request() as a new function tcp_openreq_init_req_rwin(). After this refactoring the SYN-ACK sending code is simpler and easier to implement Fast Open for IPv6.

2014-05-02tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion controlEric Dumazet1-1/+21
Yuchung discovered tcp_is_cwnd_limited() was returning false in slow start phase even if the application filled the socket write queue. All congestion modules take into account tcp_is_cwnd_limited() before increasing cwnd, so this behavior limits slow start from probing the bandwidth at full speed. The problem is that even if write queue is full (aka we are _not_ application limited), cwnd can be under utilized if TSO should auto defer or TCP Small queues decided to hold packets. So the in_flight can be kept to smaller value, and we can get to the point tcp_is_cwnd_limited() returns false. With TCP Small Queues and FQ/pacing, this issue is more visible. We fix this by having tcp_cwnd_validate(), which is supposed to track such things, take into account unsent_segs, the number of segs that we are not sending at the moment due to TSO or TSQ, but intend to send real soon. Then when we are cwnd-limited, remember this fact while we are processing the window of ACKs that comes back. For example, suppose we have a brand new connection with cwnd=10; we are in slow start, and we send a flight of 9 packets. By the time we have received ACKs for all 9 packets we want our cwnd to be 18. We implement this by setting tp->lsnd_pending to 9, and considering ourselves to be cwnd-limited while cwnd is less than twice tp->lsnd_pending (2*9 -> 18). This makes tcp_is_cwnd_limited() more understandable, by removing the GSO/TSO kludge, that tried to work around the issue. Note the in_flight parameter can be removed in a followup cleanup patch.

2014-02-26tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolutionEric Dumazet1-3/+7
Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days. FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt' TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility : tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution, so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.
