net: align sk_refcnt on 128 bytes boundary

2015-10-13T02:28:22+00:00

sk->sk_refcnt is dirtied for every TCP/UDP incoming packet.
This is a performance issue if multiple cpus hit a common socket,
or multiple sockets are chained due to SO_REUSEPORT.

By moving sk_refcnt 8 bytes further, first 128 bytes of sockets
are mostly read. As they contain the lookup keys, this has
a considerable performance impact, as cpus can cache them.

These 8 bytes are not wasted, we use them as a place holder
for various fields, depending on the socket type.

Tested:
 SYN flood hitting a 16 RX queues NIC.
 TCP listener using 16 sockets and SO_REUSEPORT
 and SO_INCOMING_CPU for proper siloing.

 Could process 6.0 Mpps SYN instead of 4.2 Mpps

 Kernel profile looked like :

tcp/dccp: fix timewait races in timer handling

2015-09-21T23:32:29+00:00

When creating a timewait socket, we need to arm the timer before
allowing other cpus to find it. The signal allowing cpus to find
the socket is setting tw_refcnt to non zero value.

As we set tw_refcnt in __inet_twsk_hashdance(), we therefore need to
call inet_twsk_schedule() first.

This also means we need to remove tw_refcnt changes from
inet_twsk_schedule() and let the caller handle it.

Note that because we use mod_timer_pinned(), we have the guarantee
the timer wont expire before we set tw_refcnt as we run in BH context.

To make things more readable I introduced inet_twsk_reschedule() helper.

When rearming the timer, we can use mod_timer_pending() to make sure
we do not rearm a canceled timer.

Note: This bug can possibly trigger if packets of a flow can hit
multiple cpus. This does not normally happen, unless flow steering
is broken somehow. This explains this bug was spotted ~5 months after
its introduction.

A similar fix is needed for SYN_RECV sockets in reqsk_queue_hash_req(),
but will be provided in a separate patch for proper tracking.

inet: inet_twsk_deschedule factorization

2015-07-09T22:12:20+00:00

inet_twsk_deschedule() calls are followed by inet_twsk_put().

Only particular case is in inet_twsk_purge() but there is no point
to defer the inet_twsk_put() after re-enabling BH.

Lets rename inet_twsk_deschedule() to inet_twsk_deschedule_put()
and move the inet_twsk_put() inside.

inet: simplify timewait refcounting

2015-07-09T22:12:20+00:00

timewait sockets have a complex refcounting logic.
Once we realize it should be similar to established and
syn_recv sockets, we can use sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu()
and remove inet_twsk_unhash()

In particular, deferred inet_twsk_put() added in commit
13475a30b66cd ("tcp: connect() race with timewait reuse")
looks unecessary : When removing a timewait socket from
ehash or bhash, caller must own a reference on the socket
anyway.

tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer

2015-04-13T20:40:05+00:00

Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when
memory was expensive and machines had a single processor.

This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies
(Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.)

We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread
timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior.

Tested:

On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1
on the target (lpaa24)

Before patch :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
419594

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
437171

While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies.

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2

After patch :

About 90% increase of throughput :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
810442

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
800992

And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even
if network utilization is 90% higher :

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.064/0.360/0.042 ms

net: add real socket cookies

2015-03-12T01:55:28+00:00

A long standing problem in netlink socket dumps is the use
of kernel socket addresses as cookies.

1) It is a security concern.

2) Sockets can be reused quite quickly, so there is
   no guarantee a cookie is used once and identify
   a flow.

3) request sock, establish sock, and timewait socks
   for a given flow have different cookies.

Part of our effort to bring better TCP statistics requires
to switch to a different allocator.

In this patch, I chose to use a per network namespace 64bit generator,
and to use it only in the case a socket needs to be dumped to netlink.
(This might be refined later if needed)

Note that I tried to carry cookies from request sock, to establish sock,
then timewait sockets.

inet: move ipv6only in sock_common

2014-07-02T06:46:21+00:00

When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we
have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of
extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information.

This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also
used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score()

This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used.

Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at
no extra cost in lookups.

ipv6: tcp: fix flowlabel value in ACK messages send from TIME_WAIT

This patch is following the commit b903d324bee262 (ipv6: tcp: fix TCLASS
value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT).

For the same reason than tclass, we have to store the flow label in the
inet_timewait_sock to provide consistency of flow label on the last ACK.
