Andrey Vagin 9d186cac7f tcp: don't use timestamp from repaired skb-s to calculate RTT (v2)
We don't know right timestamp for repaired skb-s. Wrong RTT estimations
isn't good, because some congestion modules heavily depends on it.

This patch adds the TCPCB_REPAIRED flag, which is included in
TCPCB_RETRANS.

Thanks to Eric for the advice how to fix this issue.

This patch fixes the warning:

Willem de Bruijn f066e2b091 net-timestamp: cumulative tcp timestamping fixes
A set of small fixes pointed out just after the merge:
- make tcp_tx_timestamp static
- make tcp_gso_tstamp static
- use before() to compare TCP seqno, instead of cast to u64
- add tstamp to tx_flags in GSO, instead of overwrite tx_flags
- record skb_shinfo(skb)->tskey for all timestamps, also HW.
- optimization in tcp_tx_timestamp:
  call sock_tx_timestamp only if a tstamp option is set.

Willem de Bruijn 4ed2d765df net-timestamp: TCP timestamping
TCP timestamping extends SO_TIMESTAMPING to bytestreams.

Bytestreams do not have a 1:1 relationship between send() buffers and
network packets. The feature interprets a send call on a bytestream as
a request for a timestamp for the last byte in that send() buffer.

The choice corresponds to a request for a timestamp when all bytes in
the buffer have been sent. That assumption depends on in-order kernel
transmission. This is the common case. That said, it is possible to
construct a traffic shaping tree that would result in reordering.
The guarantee is strong, then, but not ironclad.

This implementation supports send and sendpages (splice). GSO replaces
one large packet with multiple smaller packets. This patch also copies
the option into the correct smaller packet.

This patch does not yet support timestamping on data in an initial TCP
Fast Open SYN, because that takes a very different data path.

If ID generation in ee_data is enabled, bytestream timestamps return a
byte offset, instead of the packet counter for datagrams.

The implementation supports a single timestamp per packet. It silenty
replaces requests for previous timestamps. To avoid missing tstamps,
flush the tcp queue by disabling Nagle, cork and autocork. Missing
tstamps can be detected by offset when the ee_data ID is enabled.

Implementation details:

- On GSO, the timestamping code can be included in the main loop. I
moved it into its own loop to reduce the impact on the common case
to a single branch.

- To avoid leaking the absolute seqno to userspace, the offset
returned in ee_data must always be relative. It is an offset between
an skb and sk field. The first is always set (also for GSO & ACK).
The second must also never be uninitialized. Only allow the ID
option on sockets in the ESTABLISHED state, for which the seqno
is available. Never reset it to zero (instead, move it to the
current seqno when reenabling the option).

Christoph Paasch 5924f17a8a tcp: Fix divide by zero when pushing during tcp-repair
When in repair-mode and TCP_RECV_QUEUE is set, we end up calling
tcp_push with mss_now being 0. If data is in the send-queue and
tcp_set_skb_tso_segs gets called, we crash because it will divide by
mss_now:

This can easily be reproduced with the following packetdrill-script (the
"magic" with netem, sk_pacing and limit_output_bytes is done to prevent
the kernel from pushing all segments, because hitting the limit without
doing this is not so easy with packetdrill):

0   socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+0  setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0

+0  bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
+0  listen(3, 1) = 0

+0  < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1460>
+0  > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460>
+0.1  < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 65000

+0  accept(3, ..., ...) = 4

// This forces that not all segments of the snd-queue will be pushed
+0 `tc qdisc add dev tun0 root netem delay 10ms`
+0 `sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes=2`
+0 setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, 47, [2], 4) = 0

+0 write(4,...,10000) = 10000
+0 write(4,...,10000) = 10000

// Set tcp-repair stuff, particularly TCP_RECV_QUEUE
+0 setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, 19, [1], 4) = 0
+0 setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, 20, [1], 4) = 0

// This now will make the write push the remaining segments
+0 setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, 47, [20000], 4) = 0
+0 `sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes=130000`

// Now we will crash
+0 write(4,...,1000) = 1000

This happens since ec34232575 (tcp: fix retransmission in repair
mode). Prior to that, the call to tcp_push was prevented by a check for
tp->repair.

The patch fixes it, by adding the new goto-label out_nopush. When exiting
tcp_sendmsg and a push is not required, which is the case for tp->repair,
we go to this label.

When repairing and calling send() with TCP_RECV_QUEUE, the data is
actually put in the receive-queue. So, no push is required because no
data has been added to the send-queue.

Eric Dumazet 740b0f1841 tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution
Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT
estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days.

FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control
and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in
tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt'

TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility :
tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution,
so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed
to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.

In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link)

This patch fixes two bugs in fastopen :

1) The tcp_sendmsg(...,  @size) argument was ignored.

   Code was relying on user not fooling the kernel with iovec mismatches

2) When MTU is about 64KB, tcp_send_syn_data() attempts order-5
allocations, which are likely to fail when memory gets fragmented.

Eric Dumazet 996b175e39 tcp: out_of_order_queue do not use its lock
TCP out_of_order_queue lock is not used, as queue manipulation
happens with socket lock held and we therefore use the lockless
skb queue routines (as __skb_queue_head())

We can use __skb_queue_head_init() instead of skb_queue_head_init()
to make this more consistent.

Eric Dumazet a181ceb501 tcp: autocork should not hold first packet in write queue
Willem noticed a TCP_RR regression caused by TCP autocorking
on a Mellanox test bed. MLX4_EN_TX_COAL_TIME is 16 us, which can be
right above RTT between hosts.

We can receive a ACK for a packet still in NIC TX ring buffer or in a
softnet completion queue.

Fix this by always pushing the skb if it is at the head of write queue.

Also, as TX completion is lockless, it's safer to perform sk_wmem_alloc
test after setting TSQ_THROTTLED.

Eric Dumazet f54b311142 tcp: auto corking
With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP
pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help
applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets.

Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is
under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes)

If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or
NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push
will be delayed up to TX completion time.

This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes
in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls.

The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics
of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow
is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring.

Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of
autocorking being triggered.

Add a new sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking) to control
this feature and default it to 1 (enabled)

Add a new SNMP counter : nstat -a | grep TcpExtTCPAutoCorking
This counter is incremented every time we detected skb was under used
and its flush was deferred.

Tested:

Interesting effects when using line buffered commands under ssh.

Excellent performance results in term of cpu usage and total throughput.

Eric Dumazet 98e09386c0 tcp: tsq: restore minimal amount of queueing
After commit c9eeec26e3 ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several
users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi
adapters.

802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective.

This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit()
so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes.

It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored
in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway.

Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq),
can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from
128KB to 8KB.

This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver
authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set
to a minimum of 4KB.

Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible,
but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and
too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

Eric Dumazet 05dbc7b594 tcp/dccp: remove twchain
TCP listener refactoring, part 3 :

Our goal is to hash SYN_RECV sockets into main ehash for fast lookup,
and parallel SYN processing.

Current inet_ehash_bucket contains two chains, one for ESTABLISH (and
friend states) sockets, another for TIME_WAIT sockets only.

As the hash table is sized to get at most one socket per bucket, it
makes little sense to have separate twchain, as it makes the lookup
slightly more complicated, and doubles hash table memory usage.

If we make sure all socket types have the lookup keys at the same
offsets, we can use a generic and faster lookup. It turns out TIME_WAIT
and ESTABLISHED sockets already have common lookup fields for IPv4.

[ INET_TW_MATCH() is no longer needed ]

I'll provide a follow-up to factorize IPv6 lookup as well, to remove
INET6_TW_MATCH()

This way, SYN_RECV pseudo sockets will be supported the same.

A new sock_gen_put() helper is added, doing either a sock_put() or
inet_twsk_put() [ and will support SYN_RECV later ].

Note this helper should only be called in real slow path, when rcu
lookup found a socket that was moved to another identity (freed/reused
immediately), but could eventually be used in other contexts, like
sock_edemux()

Eric Dumazet 95bd09eb27 tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing
After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs

Eric Dumazet c9bee3b7fd tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option
Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of
unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory.

TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning
might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little
performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted :

Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not
necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room
for the application to queue more bytes)

For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give
applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time
(or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg())

This patch adds two ways to set the limit :

1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT

2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets
not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value)
Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect.

This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT
only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat

Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls
when using non blocking sockets,
and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets.

Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is
defined as :
 Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until
 the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol)

Tested:

netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP

With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory
used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458)

Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage
of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount
of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing.

David Majnemer c3f1dbaf6e net: Update RFS target at poll for tcp/udp
The current state of affairs is that read()/write() will setup
RFS (Receive Flow Steering) for internet protocol sockets while
poll()/epoll() does not.

When poll() gets called with a TCP or UDP socket, we should update
the flow target.

This permits to RFS (if enabled) to select the appropriate CPU for
following incoming packets.

Note: Only connected UDP sockets can benefit from RFS.

Simon Horman 0d89d2035f MPLS: Add limited GSO support
In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.

The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.

SKB Usage:

When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:

* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
  skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.

* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.

* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
  end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.

I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code.  The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.

Features:

I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols.  Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here.  I am more than happy to change my implementation.

This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.

A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload.  Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.

Alternate Implementation:

One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().

I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.

MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

Eric Dumazet 71cea17ed3 tcp: md5: remove spinlock usage in fast path
TCP md5 code uses per cpu variables but protects access to them with
a shared spinlock, which is a contention point.

[ tcp_md5sig_pool_lock is locked twice per incoming packet ]

Makes things much simpler, by allocating crypto structures once, first
time a socket needs md5 keys, and not deallocating them as they are
really small.

Next step would be to allow crypto allocations being done in a NUMA
aware way.

Eric Dumazet 6ff50cd555 tcp: gso: do not generate out of order packets
GSO TCP handler has following issues :

1) ooo_okay from original GSO packet is duplicated to all segments
2) segments (but the last one) are orphaned, so transmit path can not
get transmit queue number from the socket. This happens if GSO
segmentation is done before stacked device for example.

Result is we can send packets from a given TCP flow to different TX
queues (if using multiqueue NICS). This generates OOO problems and
spurious SACK & retransmits.

Fix this by keeping socket pointer set for all segments.

This means that every segment must also have a destructor, and the
original gso skb truesize must be split on all segments, to keep
precise sk->sk_wmem_alloc accounting.

Eric Dumazet d6a4a10411 tcp: GSO should be TSQ friendly
I noticed that TSQ (TCP Small queues) was less effective when TSO is
turned off, and GSO is on. If BQL is not enabled, TSQ has then no
effect.

It turns out the GSO engine frees the original gso_skb at the time the
fragments are generated and queued to the NIC.

We should instead call the tcp_wfree() destructor for the last fragment,
to keep the flow control as intended in TSQ. This effectively limits
the number of queued packets on qdisc + NIC layers.

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056

commit a21d45726a (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx

what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one.

It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22d (tcp: fix retransmit of

Crash occurs because skb_split() is not aware of the 'avail_size'

Pravin B Shelar c9af6db4c1 net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation.
Patch cef401de7b (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.

Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.

tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.
