net: optimize INET input path further

2010-12-10T04:05:58+00:00

Followup of commit b178bb3dfc30 (net: reorder struct sock fields)

Optimize INET input path a bit further, by :

1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock.

This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and
64 bytes cache line size).

2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk

(same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node)

This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont
increase size of inet and timewait socks.
inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields.

Before patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274

After patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4

compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored
item, instead of two.

net: suppress RCU lockdep false positive in twsk_net()

2010-04-27T19:39:01+00:00

Calls to twsk_net() are in some cases protected by reference counting
as an alternative to RCU protection.  Cases covered by reference counts
include __inet_twsk_kill(), inet_twsk_free(), inet_twdr_do_twkill_work(),
inet_twdr_twcal_tick(), and tcp_timewait_state_process().  RCU is used
by inet_twsk_purge().  Locking is used by established_get_first()
and established_get_next().  Finally, __inet_twsk_hashdance() is an
initialization case.

It appears to be non-trivial to locate the appropriate locks and
reference counts from within twsk_net(), so used rcu_dereference_raw().

tcp: Fix a connect() race with timewait sockets

2009-12-09T04:17:51+00:00

When we find a timewait connection in __inet_hash_connect() and reuse
it for a new connection request, we have a race window, releasing bind
list lock and reacquiring it in __inet_twsk_kill() to remove timewait
socket from list.

Another thread might find the timewait socket we already chose, leading to
list corruption and crashes.

Fix is to remove timewait socket from bind list before releasing the bind lock.

Note: This problem happens if sysctl_tcp_tw_reuse is set.

tcp: connect() race with timewait reuse

2009-12-04T00:17:43+00:00

Its currently possible that several threads issuing a connect() find
the same timewait socket and try to reuse it, leading to list
corruptions.

Condition for bug is that these threads bound their socket on same
address/port of to-be-find timewait socket, and connected to same
target. (SO_REUSEADDR needed)

To fix this problem, we could unhash timewait socket while holding
ehash lock, to make sure lookups/changes will be serialized. Only
first thread finds the timewait socket, other ones find the
established socket and return an EADDRNOTAVAIL error.

This second version takes into account Evgeniy's review and makes sure
inet_twsk_put() is called outside of locked sections.

net: Batch inet_twsk_purge

2009-12-03T20:23:47+00:00

This function walks the whole hashtable so there is no point in
passing it a network namespace.  Instead I purge all timewait
sockets from dead network namespaces that I find.  If the namespace
is one of the once I am trying to purge I am guaranteed no new timewait
sockets can be formed so this will get them all.  If the namespace
is one I am not acting for it might form a few more but I will
call inet_twsk_purge again and  shortly to get rid of them.  In
any even if the network namespace is dead timewait sockets are
useless.

Move the calls of inet_twsk_purge into batch_exit routines so
that if I am killing a bunch of namespaces at once I will just
call inet_twsk_purge once and save a lot of redundant unnecessary
work.

My simple 4k network namespace exit test the cleanup time dropped from
roughly 8.2s to 1.6s.  While the time spent running inet_twsk_purge fell
to about 2ms.  1ms for ipv4 and 1ms for ipv6.

net: Fix struct inet_timewait_sock bitfield annotation

2009-10-20T08:13:26+00:00

commit 9e337b0f (net: annotate inet_timewait_sock bitfields)
added 4/8 bytes in struct inet_timewait_sock.

Fix this by declaring tw_ipv6_offset in the 'flags' bitfield
The 14 bits hole is named tw_pad to make it cleary apparent.

inet: rename some inet_sock fields

2009-10-19T01:52:53+00:00

In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones
for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch.

Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first
read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt
to a separate cache line (only written by rx path)

This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr,
sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these
fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes.

net: annotate inet_timewait_sock bitfields

2009-06-15T13:49:32+00:00

The use of bitfields here would lead to false positive warnings with
kmemcheck. Silence them.

(Additionally, one erroneous comment related to the bitfield was also
fixed.)

net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls

2008-11-17T03:40:17+00:00

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)
