udp: add batching to udp_rmem_release()

2016-12-10T03:12:21+00:00

If udp_recvmsg() constantly releases sk_rmem_alloc
for every read packet, it gives opportunity for
producers to immediately grab spinlocks and desperatly
try adding another packet, causing false sharing.

We can add a simple heuristic to give the signal
by batches of ~25 % of the queue capacity.

This patch considerably increases performance under
flood by about 50 %, since the thread draining the queue
is no longer slowed by false sharing.

udp: Add GRO functions to UDP socket

2016-04-07T20:53:29+00:00

This patch adds GRO functions (gro_receive and gro_complete) to UDP
sockets. udp_gro_receive is changed to perform socket lookup on a
packet. If a socket is found the related GRO functions are called.

This features obsoletes using UDP offload infrastructure for GRO
(udp_offload). This has the advantage of not being limited to provide
offload on a per port basis, GRO is now applied to whatever individual
UDP sockets are bound to.  This also allows the possbility of
"application defined GRO"-- that is we can attach something like
a BPF program to a UDP socket to perfrom GRO on an application
layer protocol.

udp: no longer use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU

2016-04-05T02:11:19+00:00

Tom Herbert would like not touching UDP socket refcnt for encapsulated
traffic. For this to happen, we need to use normal RCU rules, with a grace
period before freeing a socket. UDP sockets are not short lived in the
high usage case, so the added cost of call_rcu() should not be a concern.

This actually removes a lot of complexity in UDP stack.

Multicast receives no longer need to hold a bucket spinlock.

Note that ip early demux still needs to take a reference on the socket.

Same remark for functions used by xt_socket and xt_PROXY netfilter modules,
but this might be changed later.

Performance for a single UDP socket receiving flood traffic from
many RX queues/cpus.

Simple udp_rx using simple recvfrom() loop :
438 kpps instead of 374 kpps : 17 % increase of the peak rate.

v2: Addressed Willem de Bruijn feedback in multicast handling
 - keep early demux break in __udp4_lib_demux_lookup()

ip: Move checksum convert defines to inet

2015-01-06T03:44:46+00:00

Move convert_csum from udp_sock to inet_sock. This allows the
possibility that we can use convert checksum for different types
of sockets and also allows convert checksum to be enabled from
inet layer (what we'll want to do when enabling IP_CHECKSUM cmsg).

udp: Add support for doing checksum unnecessary conversion

2014-09-02T04:36:28+00:00

Add support for doing CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
conversion in UDP tunneling path.

In the normal UDP path, we call skb_checksum_try_convert after locating
the UDP socket. The check is that checksum conversion is enabled for
the socket (new flag in UDP socket) and that checksum field is
non-zero.

In the UDP GRO path, we call skb_gro_checksum_try_convert after
checksum is validated and checksum field is non-zero. Since this is
already in GRO we assume that checksum conversion is always wanted.

net: Make enabling of zero UDP6 csums more restrictive

2014-05-23T20:28:53+00:00

RFC 6935 permits zero checksums to be used in IPv6 however this is
recommended only for certain tunnel protocols, it does not make
checksums completely optional like they are in IPv4.

This patch restricts the use of IPv6 zero checksums that was previously
intoduced. no_check6_tx and no_check6_rx have been added to control
the use of checksums in UDP6 RX and TX path. The normal
sk_no_check_{rx,tx} settings are not used (this avoids ambiguity when
dealing with a dual stack socket).

A helper function has been added (udp_set_no_check6) which can be
called by tunnel impelmentations to all zero checksums (send on the
socket, and accept them as valid).

udp: add encap_destroy callback

2013-03-20T16:10:38+00:00

Users of udp encapsulation currently have an encap_rcv callback which they can
use to hook into the udp receive path.

In situations where a encapsulation user allocates resources associated with a
udp encap socket, it may be convenient to be able to also hook the proto
.destroy operation.  For example, if an encap user holds a reference to the
udp socket, the destroy hook might be used to relinquish this reference.

This patch adds a socket destroy hook into udp, which is set and enabled
in the same way as the existing encap_rcv hook.

net: Add support for hardware-offloaded encapsulation

2012-12-09T05:20:28+00:00

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.
