* tcp: out_of_order_queue do not use its lockEric Dumazet2014-01-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | TCP out_of_order_queue lock is not used, as queue manipulation happens with socket lock held and we therefore use the lockless skb queue routines (as __skb_queue_head()) We can use __skb_queue_head_init() instead of skb_queue_head_init() to make this more consistent.

* ipv6: make lookups simpler and fasterEric Dumazet2013-10-091-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP listener refactoring, part 4 : To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct sock_common Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV. Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall). inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4, we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6, it's not doable easily. inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr at the same offset. We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic macro. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* tcp: md5: remove spinlock usage in fast pathEric Dumazet2013-05-201-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP md5 code uses per cpu variables but protects access to them with a shared spinlock, which is a contention point. [ tcp_md5sig_pool_lock is locked twice per incoming packet ] Makes things much simpler, by allocating crypto structures once, first time a socket needs md5 keys, and not deallocating them as they are really small. Next step would be to allow crypto allocations being done in a NUMA aware way. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tcp: reset timer after any SYNACK retransmitYuchung Cheng2013-04-291-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux immediately returns SYNACK on (spurious) SYN retransmits, but keeps the SYNACK timer running independently. Thus the timer may fire right after the SYNACK retransmit and causes a SYN-SYNACK cross-fire burst. Adopt the fast retransmit/recovery idea in established state by re-arming the SYNACK timer after the fast (SYNACK) retransmit. The timer may fire late up to 500ms due to the current SYNACK timer wheel, but it's OK to be conservative when network is congested. Eric's new listener design should address this issue.

* tcp: refactor F-RTOYuchung Cheng2013-03-211-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682). This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has many experimental features. It takes a separate code path from the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos. While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control, the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places (e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()). The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing path. F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules. It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send independently. F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based detection. The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is left for the new implementation. Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

* tcp: TLP loss detection.Nandita Dukkipati2013-03-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the second of the TLP patch series; it augments the basic TLP algorithm with a loss detection scheme. This patch implements a mechanism for loss detection when a Tail loss probe retransmission plugs a hole thereby masking packet loss from the sender. The loss detection algorithm relies on counting TLP dupacks as outlined in Sec. 3 of: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01 The basic idea is: Sender keeps track of TLP "episode" upon retransmission of a TLP packet. An episode ends when the sender receives an ACK above the SND.NXT (tracked by tlp_high_seq) at the time of the episode. We want to make sure that before the episode ends the sender receives a "TLP dupack", indicating that the TLP retransmission was unnecessary, so there was no loss/hole that needed plugging. If the sender gets no TLP dupack before the end of the episode, then it reduces ssthresh and the congestion window, because the TLP packet arriving at the receiver probably plugged a hole.

* tcp: send packets with a socket timestampAndrey Vagin2013-02-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A socket timestamp is a sum of the global tcp_time_stamp and a per-socket offset. A socket offset is added in places where externally visible tcp timestamp option is parsed/initialized. Connections in the SYN_RECV state are not supported, global tcp_time_stamp is used for them, because repair mode doesn't support this state. In a future it can be implemented by the similar way as for TIME_WAIT sockets. Cc: "David S.

* tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offsetAndrey Vagin2013-02-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This functionality is used for restoring tcp sockets. A tcp timestamp depends on how long a system has been running, so it's differ for each host. The solution is to set a per-socket offset. A per-socket offset for a TIME_WAIT socket is inherited from a proper tcp socket. tcp_request_sock doesn't have a timestamp offset, because the repair mode for them are not implemented. Cc: "David S.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility, we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers while no SYNACK is sent. SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost) TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary retransmits. Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields : num_retrans : number of retransmit num_timeout : number of timeouts num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout, regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to compute the exponential timeout. Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded. Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN. Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits. Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

* tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - note timestamps and retransmits for SYNACK RTTNeal Cardwell2012-09-221-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when using TCP Fast Open a server would return from tcp_check_req() before updating snt_synack based on TCP timestamp echo replies and whether or not we've retransmitted the SYNACK. The result was that (a) for TFO connections using timestamps we used an incorrect baseline SYNACK send time (tcp_time_stamp of SYNACK send instead of rcv_tsecr), and (b) for TFO connections that do not have TCP timestamps but retransmit the SYNACK we took a SYNACK RTT sample when we should not take a sample. This fix merely moves the snt_synack update logic a bit earlier in the function, so that connections using TCP Fast Open will properly do these updates when the ACK for the SYNACK arrives. Moving this snt_synack update logic means that with TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT enabled we do a few instructions of wasted work on each bare ACK, but that seems OK.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support for TFO listeners. This includes - 1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled 2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS finishes 3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg() if it's a TFO socket 4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS finishes 5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option 6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well as request_sock 7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option 8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until the 3WHS is completed. The patch also contains an important function "reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child socket.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues) TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc & device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat problem. sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit, allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a given time. TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use. As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets. This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the already queued skbs. Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive, using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO. Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering per bulk sender : < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO) < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms) I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes. As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one tasklest per cpu for performance reasons. If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag. This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(), to eventually send new segments. [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time, but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler. These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will have no effect.

* ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.David S. Miller2012-06-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes. One for the route and one for the socket. But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local sockets. Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections. If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified. This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since the keys will not change. Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input route to use later. Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete and dst->ops->check(). Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have the socket locked.

First of all, if the socket doesn't have a usable cached route, there is no sense in trying to optimize timewait recycling. Likewise for the case where we have IP options, such as SRR enabled, that make the IP header destination address (and thus the destination address of the route key) differ from that of the connection's destination address. Just return a NULL peer in these cases, and thus we're also able to get rid of the clumsy inetpeer release logic. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* tcp: early retransmitYuchung Cheng2012-05-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP. It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout. While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection after the first reordering event. A large scale web server experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”, IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if people think it's a good idea. ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans: 0: Disables ER 1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4. 2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay entering fast recovery by RTT/4. Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The transparent socket option setting was not copied to the time wait socket when an inet socket was being replaced by a time wait socket. This broke the --transparent option of the socket match and may have caused that FIN packets belonging to sockets in FIN_WAIT2 or TIME_WAIT state were being dropped by the packet filter.

* tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open sideJerry Chu2011-06-091-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on. It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase. The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

| * include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
