* net: Convert TCP/DCCP listening hash tables to use RCUEric Dumazet2008-11-241-35/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the last step to be able to perform full RCU lookups in __inet_lookup() : After established/timewait tables, we add RCU lookups to listening hash table. The only trick here is that a socket of a given type (TCP ipv4, TCP ipv6, ...) can now flight between two different tables (established and listening) during a RCU grace period, so we must use different 'nulls' end-of-chain values for two tables. We define a large value : #define LISTENING_NULLS_BASE (1U << 29) So that slots in listening table are guaranteed to have different end-of-chain values than slots in established table. A reader can still detect it finished its lookup in the right chain. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nullsEric Dumazet2008-11-172-23/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure : - sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the price of call_rcu() at freeing time. - hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers. This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established and timewait sockets. Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case. __inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock) Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU (bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds are supported. - Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event. Default is 1. - Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions: ndisc_build_skb() ndisc_send_skb() These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order. - Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond support to 3.4.0. On failover, this new code will generate one packet: - An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch learn that the address has moved to the new slave. Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

| * ipv6: fix run pending DAD when interface becomes readyBenjamin Thery2008-11-051-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With some net devices types, an IPv6 address configured while the interface was down can stay 'tentative' forever, even after the interface is set up. In some case, pending IPv6 DADs are not executed when the device becomes ready. I observed this while doing some tests with kvm. If I assign an IPv6 address to my interface eth0 (kvm driver rtl8139) when it is still down then the address is flagged tentative (IFA_F_TENTATIVE). Then, I set eth0 up, and to my surprise, the address stays 'tentative', no DAD is executed and the address can't be pinged. I also observed the same behaviour, without kvm, with virtual interfaces types macvlan and veth. Some easy steps to reproduce the issue with macvlan: 1. ip link add link eth0 type macvlan 2. ip -6 addr add 2003::ab32/64 dev macvlan0 3. ip addr show dev macvlan0 ... inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative ... 4. ip link set macvlan0 up 5. ip addr show dev macvlan0 ... inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative ... Address is still tentative I think there's a bug in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, addrconf_notify(): addrconf_dad_run() is not always run when the interface is flagged IF_READY. Currently it is only run when receiving NETDEV_CHANGE event. Looks like some (virtual) devices doesn't send this event when becoming up. For both NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_CHANGE events, when the interface becomes ready, run_pending should be set to 1. Patch below. 'run_pending = 1' could be moved below the if/else block but it makes the code less readable. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

If the SA will carry traffic for specified protocols, the selector set for the SA MUST specify the port fields (or ICMP type/code or Mobility Header type) as ANY. An SA defined in this fashion will carry all traffic including initial and non-initial fragments for the indicated Local/Remote addresses and specified Next Layer protocol(s)."

* | udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.Eric Dumazet2008-10-292-7/+25

Note: Multicasts and broadcasts still will need to take a lock, because doing a full lockless lookup in this case is difficult. 2) No expensive operations in the socket bind/unhash phases : - No expensive synchronize_rcu() calls. - No added rcu_head in socket structure, increasing memory needs, but more important, forcing us to use call_rcu() calls, that have the bad property of making sockets structure cold. (rcu grace period between socket freeing and its potential reuse make this socket being cold in CPU cache). David did a previous patch using call_rcu() and noticed a 20% impact on TCP connection rates. Quoting Cristopher Lameter : "Right. That results in cacheline cooldown. You'd want to recycle the object as they are cache hot on a per cpu basis. That is screwed up by the delayed regular rcu processing. We have seen multiple regressions due to cacheline cooldown. The only choice in cacheline hot sensitive areas is to deal with the complexity that comes with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU or give up on RCU." - Because udp sockets are allocated from dedicated kmem_cache, use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU can help here. Theory of operation : --------------------- As the lookup is lockfree (using rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()), special attention must be taken by readers and writers. Use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is tricky too, because a socket can be freed, reused, inserted in a different chain or in worst case in the same chain while readers could do lookups in the same time. In order to avoid loops, a reader must check each socket found in a chain really belongs to the chain the reader was traversing. If it finds a mismatch, lookup must start again at the begining. This *restart* loop is the reason we had to use rdlock for the multicast case, because we dont want to send same message several times to the same socket. We use RCU only for fast path. Thus, /proc/net/udp still takes spinlocks. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | udp: introduce struct udp_table and multiple spinlocksEric Dumazet2008-10-293-56/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UDP sockets are hashed in a 128 slots hash table. This hash table is protected by *one* rwlock. This rwlock is readlocked each time an incoming UDP message is handled. This rwlock is writelocked each time a socket must be inserted in hash table (bind time), or deleted from this table (close time) This is not scalable on SMP machines : 1) Even in read mode, lock() and unlock() are atomic operations and must dirty a contended cache line, shared by all cpus. 2) A writer might be starved if many readers are 'in flight'. This can happen on a machine with some NIC receiving many UDP messages. User process can be delayed a long time at socket creation/dismantle time. This patch prepares RCU migration, by introducing 'struct udp_table and struct udp_hslot', and using one spinlock per chain, to reduce contention on central rwlock. Introducing one spinlock per chain reduces latencies, for port randomization on heavily loaded UDP servers. This also speedup bindings to specific ports. udp_lib_unhash() was uninlined, becoming to big.
