flowcache: Increase threshold for refusing new allocations

2016-11-23T05:37:09+00:00

The threshold for OOM protection is too small for systems with large
number of CPUs. Applications report ENOBUFs on connect() every 10
minutes.

The problem is that the variable net->xfrm.flow_cache_gc_count is a
global counter while the variable fc->high_watermark is a per-CPU
constant. Take the number of CPUs into account as well.

flowcache: Avoid OOM condition under preasure

2016-03-17T09:28:42+00:00

We can hit an OOM condition if we are under presure because
we can not free the entries in gc_list fast enough. So add
a counter for the not yet freed entries in the gc_list and
refuse new allocations if the value is too high.

flowcache: Fix kernel panic in flow_cache_flush_task

2015-02-05T22:38:53+00:00

flow_cache_flush_task references a structure member flow_cache_gc_work
where it should reference flow_cache_flush_task instead.

Kernel panic occurs on kernels using IPsec during XFRM garbage
collection. The garbage collection interval can be shortened using the
following sysctl settings:

net.ipv4.xfrm4_gc_thresh=4
net.ipv6.xfrm6_gc_thresh=4

With the default settings, our productions servers crash approximately
once a week. With the settings above, they crash immediately.

Merge tag 'cpu-hotplug-3.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

2014-04-07T21:55:46+00:00

Pull CPU hotplug notifiers registration fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat
  (with a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple
  subsystems that use CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to
  register them that will not lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline
  operations as described in the changelog of commit 93ae4f978ca7f ("CPU
  hotplug: Provide lockless versions of callback registration
  functions").

  The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document
  it and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers
  and converts them to using the new method"

net/core/flow.c: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration

2014-03-20T12:43:48+00:00

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the code in net/core/flow.c by using this latter form of callback
registration.

flowcache: Fix resource leaks on namespace exit.

2014-03-12T19:31:18+00:00

We leak an active timer, the hotcpu notifier and all allocated
resources when we exit a namespace. Fix this by introducing a
flow_cache_fini() function where we release the resources before
we exit.

flowcache: restore a single flow_cache kmem_cache

2014-03-11T01:45:11+00:00

It is not legal to create multiple kmem_cache having the same name.

flowcache can use a single kmem_cache, no need for a per netns
one.

flowcache: Make flow cache name space aware

2014-02-12T06:02:11+00:00

Inserting a entry into flowcache, or flushing flowcache should be based
on per net scope. The reason to do so is flushing operation from fat
netns crammed with flow entries will also making the slim netns with only
a few flow cache entries go away in original implementation.

Since flowcache is tightly coupled with IPsec, so it would be easier to
put flow cache global parameters into xfrm namespace part. And one last
thing needs to do is bumping flow cache genid, and flush flow cache should
also be made in per net style.

net: delete __cpuinit usage from all net files

2013-07-14T23:36:58+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the net/* uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.
