2014-11-25crypto: algif - add and use sock_kzfree_s() instead of memzero_explicit()Daniel Borkmann
Commit e1bd95bf7c25 ("crypto: algif - zeroize IV buffer") and 2a6af25befd0 ("crypto: algif - zeroize message digest buffer") added memzero_explicit() calls on buffers that are later on passed back to sock_kfree_s(). This is a discussed follow-up that, instead, extends the sock API and adds sock_kzfree_s(), which internally uses kzfree() instead of kfree() for passing the buffers back to slab. Having sock_kzfree_s() allows to keep the changes more minimal by just having a drop-in replacement instead of adding memzero_explicit() calls everywhere before sock_kfree_s(). In kzfree(), the compiler is not allowed to optimize the memset() away and thus there's no need for memzero_explicit(). Both, sock_kfree_s() and sock_kzfree_s() are wrappers for __sock_kfree_s() and call into kfree() resp. kzfree(); here, __sock_kfree_s() needs to be explicitly inlined as we want the compiler to optimize the call and condition away and thus it produces e.g. on x86_64 the _same_ assembler output for sock_kfree_s() before and after, and thus also allows for avoiding code duplication.

2014-11-16net: provide a per host RSS key generic infrastructureEric Dumazet
RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes RSS key. Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two. This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing. netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key, even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later. A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues. Tested: myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key 11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41:36:40:74:b6:15:ca:27:44:aa:b3:4d:72 myhost:~# ethtool -x eth0 RX flow hash indirection table for eth0 with 8 RX ring(s): 0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 RSS hash key: 11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-11-13net: generic dev_disable_lro() stacked device handlingMichal Kubeček
Large receive offloading is known to cause problems if received packets are passed to other host. Therefore the kernel disables it by calling dev_disable_lro() whenever a network device is enslaved in a bridge or forwarding is enabled for it (or globally). For virtual devices we need to disable LRO on the underlying physical device (which is actually receiving the packets). Current dev_disable_lro() code handles this propagation for a vlan (including 802.1ad nested vlan), macvlan or a vlan on top of a macvlan. It doesn't handle other stacked devices and their combinations, in particular propagation from a bond to its slaves which often causes problems in virtualization setups. As we now have generic data structures describing the upper-lower device relationship, dev_disable_lro() can be generalized to disable LRO also for all lower devices (if any) once it is disabled for the device itself. For bonding and teaming devices, it is necessary to disable LRO not only on current slaves at the moment when dev_disable_lro() is called but also on any slave (port) added later. v2: use lower device links for all devices (including vlan and macvlan) Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled. Even so, these messages are now _not_ emitted by default. This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl "/proc/sys/net/core/warnings". For backward compatibility, the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function. The extern declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c Miscellanea: o Update the sysctl documentation o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt o Coalesce format fragments o Realign arguments Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-11-11net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPUEric Dumazet
Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple queues. Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool. Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed. We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet is enough to solve the problem. After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around processes, applications can use : int cpu; socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu); getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len); And use this information to put the socket into the right silo for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

2014-11-10net: gro: add a per device gro flush timerEric Dumazet
Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard. Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal latencies. To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use : ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44 But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to 50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when a packet with TCP Push flag is received. Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every incoming packet. This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do, based on traffic pattern. Packets with Push flag wont be delayed. Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep receiving data. This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond. To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

2014-11-03net: less interrupt masking in NAPIEric Dumazet
net_rx_action() can mask irqs a single time to transfert sd->poll_list into a private list, for a very short duration. Then, napi_complete() can avoid masking irqs again, and net_rx_action() only needs to mask irq again in slow path. This patch removes 2 couples of irq mask/unmask per typical NAPI run, more if multiple napi were triggered. Note this also allows to give control back to caller (do_softirq()) more often, so that other softirq handlers can be called a bit earlier, or ksoftirqd can be wakeup earlier under pressure. This was developed while testing an alternative to RX interrupt mitigation to reduce latencies while keeping or improving GRO aggregation on fast NIC. Idea is to test napi->gro_list at the end of a napi->poll() and reschedule one NAPI poll, but after servicing a full round of softirqs (timers, TX, rcu, ...). This will be allowed only if softirq is currently serviced by idle task or ksoftirqd, and resched not needed.

Here are some numbers with 30 000 dummy interfaces configured: Before the patch: $ time rmmod dummy real 2m0.118s user 0m0.000s sys 1m50.048s After the patch: $ time rmmod dummy real 1m9.970s user 0m0.000s sys 0m47.976s Suggested-by: Thierry Herbelot <thierry.herbelot@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-10-29net: introduce napi_schedule_irqoff()Eric Dumazet
napi_schedule() can be called from any context and has to mask hard irqs. Add a variant that can only be called from hard interrupts handlers or when irqs are already masked. Many NIC drivers can use it from their hard IRQ handler instead of generic variant. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
