In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.
The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.
SKB Usage:
When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:
* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.
* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.
* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.
I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.
Features:
I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.
This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.
A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.
Alternate Implementation:
One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().
I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.
MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code
to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary.
nf_reset() is used in the following cases:
- when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to
release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while
the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point.
- when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue
tracing these packets after IPsec processing.
- when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on
that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not
used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should
be traced after that, however we've always done that.
- when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the
packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases
where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the
original patch intended to fix.
Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to
fix this properly.

Hi.
I'm trying to send big chunks of memory from application address space via
TCP socket using vmsplice + splice like this
mem = mmap(128Mb);
vmsplice(pipe[1], mem); /* splice memory into pipe */
splice(pipe[0], tcp_socket); /* send it into network */
When I'm lucky and a huge page splices into the pipe and then into the socket
_and_ client and server ends of the TCP connection are on the same host,
communicating via lo, the whole connection gets stuck! The sending queue
becomes full and app stops writing/splicing more into it, but the receiving
queue remains empty, and that's why.
The __skb_fill_page_desc observes a tail page of a huge page and erroneously
propagates its page->pfmemalloc value onto socket (the pfmemalloc on tail pages
contain garbage). Then this skb->pfmemalloc leaks through lo and due to the
tcp_v4_rcv
sk_filter
if (skb->pfmemalloc && !sock_flag(sk, SOCK_MEMALLOC)) /* true */
return -ENOMEM
goto release_and_discard;
no packets reach the socket. Even TCP re-transmits are dropped by this, as skb
cloning clones the pfmemalloc flag as well.
That said, here's the proper page->pfmemalloc propagation onto socket: we
must check the huge-page's head page only, other pages' pfmemalloc and mapping
values do not contain what is expected in this place. However, I'm not sure
whether this fix is _complete_, since pfmemalloc propagation via lo also
oesn't look great.
Both, bit propagation from page to skb and this check in sk_filter, were
introduced by c48a11c7 (netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb), in v3.5 so

This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx
checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE).
For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits
in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the
skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will
use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware.
For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the
skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up
to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol
driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the
protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

Network device drivers can communicate a Toeplitz hash in skb->rxhash,
but devices differ in their hashing capabilities. All compute a 5-tuple
hash for TCP over IPv4, but for other connection-oriented protocols,
they may compute only a 3-tuple. This breaks RPS load balancing, e.g.,
for TCP over IPv6 flows. Additionally, for GRE and other tunnels,
the kernel computes a 5-tuple hash over the inner packet if possible,
but devices do not.
This patch recomputes the rxhash in software in all cases where it
cannot be certain that a 5-tuple was computed. Device drivers can avoid
recomputation by setting the skb->l4_rxhash flag.
Recomputing adds cycles to each packet when RPS is enabled or the
packet arrives over a tunnel. A comparison of 200x TCP_STREAM between
two servers running unmodified netnext with rxhash computation
in hardware vs software (using ethtool -K eth0 rxhash [on|off]) shows
how much time is spent in __skb_get_rxhash in this worst case:
0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.05% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
With 200x TCP_RR it increases to
0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
I considered having the patch explicitly skips recomputation when it knows
that it will not improve the hash (TCP over IPv4), but that conditional
complicates code without saving many cycles in practice, because it has
to take place after flow dissector.

Over time, skb recycling infrastructure got litle interest and

the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb.
This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments
to the skb.
It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take
an skb. If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is
automatically copied. If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it
should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to
ensure the flag is copied properly.
Failure to do so is not critical. The resulting driver may perform slower
if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result
in failure.

Orphaning skb in dev_hard_start_xmit() makes bonding behavior
unfriendly for applications sending big UDP bursts : Once packets
pass the bonding device and come to real device, they might hit a full
qdisc and be dropped. Without orphaning, the sender is automatically
throttled because sk->sk_wmemalloc reaches sk->sk_sndbuf (assuming
sk_sndbuf is not too big)
We could try to defer the orphaning adding another test in
dev_hard_start_xmit(), but all this seems of little gain,
now that BQL tends to make packets more likely to be parked
in Qdisc queues instead of NIC TX ring, in cases where performance
matters.

At the beginning of __skb_cow, headroom gets set to a minimum of

This was showing up frequently in my tests on VLAN tx, where

Locally generated packets should have enough headroom, and for forward

skb_try_coalesce() can be used in IPv4 defrag and IPv6 reassembly,
to build optimized skbs (less sk_buff, and possibly less 'headers')
skb_try_coalesce() is zero copy, unless the copy can fit in destination
header (its a rare case)
kfree_skb_partial() is also moved to net/core/skbuff.c and exported,
because IPv6 will need it in patch (ipv6: use skb coalescing in
reassembly).

Fix two issues introduced in commit a1c7fff7e1
( net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb() )
- Must be IRQ safe (non NAPI drivers can use it)
- Must not leak the frag if build_skb() fails to allocate sk_buff
This patch introduces netdev_alloc_frag() for drivers willing to
use build_skb() instead of __netdev_alloc_skb() variants.
Factorize code so that :
__dev_alloc_skb() is a wrapper around __netdev_alloc_skb(), and
dev_alloc_skb() a wrapper around netdev_alloc_skb()
Use __GFP_COLD flag.
Almost all network drivers now benefit from skb->head_frag
infrastructure.

With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me
we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer -
skb->head. Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make
more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way
we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the
optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page
fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.
We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself
This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb
(one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory.
This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a
single sk_buff is fetched.
This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but
has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if
needed.
We have three spots were it hurts :
1) GRO aggregation
When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the
frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff
around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network
stack aren't enabling full GRO power.
2) splice(socket -> pipe).
We must copy the linear part to a page fragment.
This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim)
3) TCP coalescing.
Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments
into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory,
and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing
doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be
too slow)
Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility
of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag,
skb->head_frag to carry this information.
build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing
to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero
value, set to the fragment size.
Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself,
we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various
fallbacks we have.
This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the
current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb
truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes
bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear
part, no need to copy data.

Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its
wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non
SG capable hardware.
After investigation, it turns out TCP uses sk_stream_alloc_skb() and
used as a convention skb_tailroom(skb) to know how many bytes of data
payload could be put in this skb (for non SG capable devices)
Note : these skb used kmalloc-4096 (MTU=1500 + MAX_HEADER +
sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) being above 2048)
Later, mac80211 layer need to add some bytes at the tail of skb
(IEEE80211_ENCRYPT_TAILROOM = 18 bytes) and since no more tailroom is
available has to call pskb_expand_head() and request order-1
allocations.
This patch changes sk_stream_alloc_skb() so that only
sk->sk_prot->max_header bytes of headroom are reserved, and use a new
skb field, avail_size to hold the data payload limit.
This way, order-0 allocations done by TCP stack can leave more than 2 KB
of tailroom and no more allocation is performed in mac80211 layer (or
any layer needing some tailroom)
avail_size is unioned with mark/dropcount, since mark will be set later
in IP stack for output packets. Therefore, skb size is unchanged.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

--
The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
the one <linux/bug.h> file. Due to historical reasons, we have
some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As
a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
CC lib/string.o
lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
$
$ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
#include <linux/bug.h>
$
We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
implicit presence of BUG code.
2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
the problem areas in advance.

that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just

We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a
malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen
only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp
builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp
trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay

One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea
to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX
completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack.
In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring.
This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache
lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC.
By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process
it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot
of things happened between the allocation and final use.
So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to
populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to
attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb,
initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network
stack.
build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the
data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call
skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the
Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some
drivers might add a hardware provided alignment)
Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior
kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting
incoming frame.
data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 +
SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)),
GFP_ATOMIC);
...
skb = build_skb(data);
if (!skb) {
recycle_data(data);
} else {
skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN);
...
}

The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires
knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer.
Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even
transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but
injecting it with radiotap and getting the status
out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather
complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and
doesn't work with all hardware.
To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX
status option for data frame transmissions.
This works similar to the existing TX timestamping
in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's
error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has
an int indicating ACK status (0/1).
Since it is possible that at some point we will
want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a
single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not
doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING
to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more
than just the timestamp; keep the old constant
as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs
don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard
to split them up in a way that makes it possible.

the functions that add the control messages.

The pair of functions,
* skb_clone_tx_timestamp()
* skb_complete_tx_timestamp()
were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first
function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies
PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device
driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a
later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the
socket's error queue.
As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from
disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver
awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference
on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments
regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the
rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release
the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too.
These functions first appeared in v2.6.36.

skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.
Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.
This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.
At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.
Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.
Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a

As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header

Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet

Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch

commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.
skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.
In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.
Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and
outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible
time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are
deferred for later delivery by the driver.

In old kernels, NET_SKB_PAD was defined to 16.
Then commit d6301d3dd1 (net: Increase default NET_SKB_PAD to 32), and
commit 18e8c134f4 (net: Increase NET_SKB_PAD to 64 bytes) increased it
to 64.
While first patch was governed by network stack needs, second was more
driven by performance issues on current hardware. Real intent was to
align data on a cache line boundary.
So use max(32, L1_CACHE_BYTES) instead of 64, to be more generic.

Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will
drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and
is not one of the special pkts tested for in
skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then
the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan.
For example,
vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx
will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any
packet handlers at all. However,
bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx
and
bond0 -> ethx
will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev,
because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a
slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only
delivers them to exact matches.
This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging
skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the
skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add
logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it
is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This
makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers
a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves.
Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be
delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others
be dropped out right in the vlan path.
I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes
and load balancing modes.

# vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx

- 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port)
- RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0

- SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload)

Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead
of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves.

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.
Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.
This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.
Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.
The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).
Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.
e1000e on 8 core Intel
Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU
forcedeth on 16 core AMD
Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU
bnx2x on 16 core AMD
Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is
implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not

corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the

This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status

Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
successfully by me.
Notes:
1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.
2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed
to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce
the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary
overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and
this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption
is used.
Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue
again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also
fixes a problem where frames for that particular station
could be reordered when some were still on the software
queues and older ones are re-injected into the software
queue after them.

The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1
byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info
struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that
information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp.
union is used for the additional information so that it can be
stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info.
Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field
depending on the context, optional additional structures) this
is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself.
TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver
doesn't support hardware time stamping.
The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around
ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing
network device drivers which don't support hardware time
stamping and know nothing about it:
- they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified
- the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk
alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan()
Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe.
The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software
TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not
with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series
was tested with).

Several devices need to insert some "pre headers" in front of the
main packet data when they transmit a packet.
Currently we allocate only 16 bytes of pad room and this ends up not
being enough for some types of hardware (NIU, usb-net, s390 qeth,
etc.)
So increase this to 32.
Note that drivers still need to check in their transmit routine
whether enough headroom exists, and if not use skb_realloc_headroom().

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.

The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX
pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by
the hardware.
If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select
the outgoing TX queue.
This helps get more consistent load balancing on router
and firewall loads.

This patch adds the helper skb_gro_receive to merge packets for
GRO. The current method is to allocate a new header skb and then
chain the original packets to its frag_list. This is done to
make it easier to integrate into the existing GSO framework.
In future as GSO is moved into the drivers, we can undo this and
simply chain the original packets together.

During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by
the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks.
Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done
when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split
state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by
combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if
that's SACKed as well.
This approach has a number of benefits:
1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT
2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything
which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas)
3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts
of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with
some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all
around).
4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single
put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls
In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt
to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs
that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles
hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start
overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also
a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs
advance one hole at a time in the most typical case.
TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy
when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future
work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since
this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal
cases).
I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking
timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on
realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the
timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are
basically either:
1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway
2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp
of the last segment there is just skewing things more off
than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of
the holes (besides some substle issues that would make
determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway,
it has nothing to do with this change then.
I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop,
some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the
walking at that skb but again). In general, they either
shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference
in practice.
In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale
regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over
the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much
less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the
big recovery clearing cumulative ack.
Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also
without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that
we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because
DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to
sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets
avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict.
TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer
passing to struct sacktag_state... :-)
My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't
be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting
tx reclaim)...
[The rest is considering future work instead since I got
repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added
pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that
into another, later patch]
...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage:
5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs
are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole
is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space
...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose
the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long),
otherwise we'll have to alloc some.
With clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat
worse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs:

The previous move of the the UDP inDatagrams counter caused each
peek of the same packet to be counted separately. This may be
undesirable.
This patch fixes this by adding a bit to sk_buff to record whether
this packet has already been seen through skb_recv_datagram. We
then only increment the counter when the packet is seen for the
first time.
The only dodgy part is the fact that skb_recv_datagram doesn't have
a good way of returning this new bit of information. So I've added
a new function __skb_recv_datagram that does return this and made
skb_recv_datagram a wrapper around it.
The plan is to eventually replace all uses of skb_recv_datagram with
this new function at which time it can be renamed its proper name.

The calculation in SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD is incorrect in that it can cause
an overflow across a page boundary which is what it's meant to prevent.
In particular, the header length (X) should not be lumped together with
skb_shared_info. The latter needs to be aligned properly while the header
has no choice but to sit in front of wherever the payload is.
Therefore the correct calculation is to take away the aligned size of
skb_shared_info, and then subtract the header length. The resulting
quantity L satisfies the following inequality:
SKB_DATA_ALIGN(L + X) + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) <= PAGE_SIZE
This is the quantity used by alloc_skb to do the actual allocation.

Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.
The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.
I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.

The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.
This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.
This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.
No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.
For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

(where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror
ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code).
I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers
last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit. In any case,
I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe.
Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE. This should
be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path
first.
So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving
ip_summed (mostly) on forwarded packets.

The destructor per conntrack is unnecessary, then this replaces it with
system wide destructor.

Now to convert the last one, skb->data, that will allow many simplifications
and removal of some of the offset helpers.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)
Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.
