2012-04-10tcp: fix tcp_rcv_rtt_update() use of an unscaled RTT sampleNeal Cardwell
Fix a code path in tcp_rcv_rtt_update() that was comparing scaled and unscaled RTT samples. The intent in the code was to only use the 'm' measurement if it was a new minimum. However, since 'm' had not yet been shifted left 3 bits but 'new_sample' had, this comparison would nearly always succeed, leading us to erroneously set our receive-side RTT estimate to the 'm' sample when that sample could be nearly 8x too high to use. The overall effect is to often cause the receive-side RTT estimate to be significantly too large (up to 40% too large for brief periods in my tests).

2012-04-10tcp: restore correct limitEric Dumazet
Commit c43b874d5d714f (tcp: properly initialize tcp memory limits) tried to fix a regression added in commits 4acb4190 & 3dc43e3, but still get it wrong. Result is machines with low amount of memory have too small tcp_rmem[2] value and slow tcp receives : Per socket limit being 1/1024 of memory instead of 1/128 in old kernels, so rcv window is capped to small values. Fix this to match comment and previous behavior.

2012-04-10netfilter: nf_ct_ipv4: packets with wrong ihl are invalidJozsef Kadlecsik
It was reported that the Linux kernel sometimes logs: klogd: [2629147.402413] kernel BUG at net / netfilter / nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 447! klogd: [1072212.887368] kernel BUG at net / netfilter / nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 392 ipv4_get_l4proto() in nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c and tcp_error() in nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c should catch malformed packets, so the errors at the indicated lines - TCP options parsing - should not happen. However, tcp_error() relies on the "dataoff" offset to the TCP header, calculated by ipv4_get_l4proto(). But ipv4_get_l4proto() does not check bogus ihl values in IPv4 packets, which then can slip through tcp_error() and get caught at the TCP options parsing routines. The patch fixes ipv4_get_l4proto() by invalidating packets with bogus ihl value. The patch closes netfilter bugzilla id 771.

2012-04-05tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() onceEric Dumazet
commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE. We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends stall. Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but with different semantic. For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage() Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

2012-04-03tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packetsEric Dumazet
vmsplice()/splice(pipe, socket) call do_tcp_sendpages() one page at a time, adding at most 4096 bytes to an skb. (assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096) The call to tcp_push() at the end of do_tcp_sendpages() forces an immediate xmit when pipe is not already filled, and tso_fragment() try to split these skb to MSS multiples. 4096 bytes are usually split in a skb with 2 MSS, and a remaining sub-mss skb (assuming MTU=1500) This makes slow start suboptimal because many small frames are sent to qdisc/driver layers instead of big ones (constrained by cwnd and packets in flight of course) In fact, applications using sendmsg() (adding an additional memory copy) instead of vmsplice()/splice()/sendfile() are a bit faster because of this anomaly, especially if serving small files in environments with large initial [c]wnd. Call tcp_push() only if MSG_MORE is not set in the flags parameter. This bit is automatically provided by splice() internals but for the last page, or on all pages if user specified SPLICE_F_MORE splice() flag. In some workloads, this can reduce number of sent logical packets by an order of magnitude, making zero-copy TCP actually faster than one-copy :) Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that.

2012-03-28net/ipv4: fix IPv4 multicast over network namespacesBenjamin LaHaise
When using multicast over a local bridge feeding a number of LXC guests using veth, the LXC guests are unable to get a response from other guests when pinging 224.0.0.1. Multicast packets did not appear to be getting delivered to the network namespaces of the guest hosts, and further inspection showed that the incoming route was pointing to the loopback device of the host, not the guest. This lead to the wrong network namespace being picked up by sockets (like ICMP). Fix this by using the correct network namespace when creating the inbound route entry.

2012-03-22bonding: remove entries for master_ip and vlan_ip and query devices insteadAndy Gospodarek
The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary, etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values. commit 917fbdb32f37e9a93b00bb12ee83532982982df3 Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com> Date: Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000 bonding: only use primary address for ARP That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from sending frames with an invalid source IP address. Unfortunately, it didn't always work as expected. When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of address. The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in the primary address and would still cause the device address to be overwritten. The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done. This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once. The inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that needed to be resolved. While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan devices in the bonding driver. I didn't like the duplication of the list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than grow, but liked the general idea. As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively. This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address. This code could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly what was needed. I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected. Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.

(modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible.

2012-03-19tcp: reduce out_of_order memory useEric Dumazet
With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes. Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in many cases. When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true latency killer and cpu cache blower. Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the tcp_collapse() thing later. Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due to low socket buffer" I had before.

2012-03-16arp: allow arp processing to honor per interface arp_accept sysctlNeil Horman
I found recently that the arp_process function which handles all of our received arp frames, is using IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL macro to check the state of the arp_process flag. This seems wrong, as it implies that either none or all of the network interfaces accept gratuitous arps. This patch corrects that, allowing per-interface arp_accept configuration to deviate from the all setting. Note this also brings us into line with the way the arp_filter setting is handled during arp_process execution. Tested this myself on my home network, and confirmed it works as expected.

2012-03-11tcp: fix syncookie regressionEric Dumazet
commit ea4fc0d619 (ipv4: Don't use rt->rt_{src,dst} in ip_queue_xmit()) added a serious regression on synflood handling. Simon Kirby discovered a successful connection was delayed by 20 seconds before being responsive. In my tests, I discovered that xmit frames were lost, and needed ~4 retransmits and a socket dst rebuild before being really sent. In case of syncookie initiated connection, we use a different path to initialize the socket dst, and inet->cork.fl.u.ip4 is left cleared. As ip_queue_xmit() now depends on inet flow being setup, fix this by copying the temp flowi4 we use in cookie_v4_check().

2012-03-06tcp: fix tcp_shift_skb_data() to not shift SACKed data below snd_unaNeal Cardwell
This commit fixes tcp_shift_skb_data() so that it does not shift SACKed data below snd_una. This fixes an issue whose symptoms exactly match reports showing tp->sacked_out going negative since 3.3.0-rc4 (see "WARNING: at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on netdev). Since 2008 (832d11c5cd076abc0aa1eaf7be96c81d1a59ce41) tcp_shift_skb_data() had been shifting SACKed ranges that were below snd_una. It checked that the *end* of the skb it was about to shift from was above snd_una, but did not check that the end of the actual shifted range was above snd_una; this commit adds that check. Shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una is problematic because for such ranges tcp_sacktag_one() short-circuits: it does not declare anything as SACKed and does not increase sacked_out. Before the fixes in commits cc9a672ee522d4805495b98680f4a3db5d0a0af9 and daef52bab1fd26e24e8e9578f8fb33ba1d0cb412, shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una happened to work because tcp_shifted_skb() was always (incorrectly) passing in to tcp_sacktag_one() an skb whose end_seq tcp_shift_skb_data() had already guaranteed was beyond snd_una. Hence tcp_sacktag_one() never short-circuited and always increased tp->sacked_out in this case. After those two fixes, my testing has verified that shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una could cause tp->sacked_out to go negative with the following sequence of events: (1) tcp_shift_skb_data() sees an skb whose end_seq is beyond snd_una, then shifts a prefix of that skb that is below snd_una (2) tcp_shifted_skb() increments the packet count of the already-SACKed prev sk_buff (3) tcp_sacktag_one() sees the end of the new SACKed range is below snd_una, so it short-circuits and doesn't increase tp->sacked_out (5) tcp_clean_rtx_queue() sees the SACKed skb has been ACKed, decrements tp->sacked_out by this "inflated" pcount that was missing a matching increase in tp->sacked_out, and hence tp->sacked_out underflows to a u32 like 0xFFFFFFFF, which casted to s32 is negative. (6) this leads to the warnings seen in the recent "WARNING: at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on the netdev list; e.g.: tcp_input.c:3418 WARN_ON((int)tp->sacked_out < 0); More generally, I think this bug can be tickled in some cases where two or more ACKs from the receiver are lost and then a DSACK arrives that is immediately above an existing SACKed skb in the write queue. This fix changes tcp_shift_skb_data() to abort this sequence at step (1) in the scenario above by noticing that the bytes are below snd_una and not shifting them.

2012-03-03tcp: don't fragment SACKed skbs in tcp_mark_head_lost()Neal Cardwell
In tcp_mark_head_lost() we should not attempt to fragment a SACKed skb to mark the first portion as lost. This is for two primary reasons: (1) tcp_shifted_skb() coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs. When doing this, it preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to reflect the real-world dynamics on the wire. But given that skbs can have remainders that do not align to MSS boundaries, this packet count preservation means that for SACKed skbs there is not necessarily a direct linear relationship between tcp_skb_pcount(skb) and skb->len. Thus tcp_mark_head_lost()'s previous attempts to fragment off and mark as lost a prefix of length (packets - oldcnt)*mss from SACKed skbs were leading to occasional failures of the WARN_ON(len > skb->len) in tcp_fragment() (which used to be a BUG_ON(); see the recent "crash in tcp_fragment" thread on netdev). (2) there is no real point in fragmenting off part of a SACKed skb and calling tcp_skb_mark_lost() on it, since tcp_skb_mark_lost() is a NOP for SACKed skbs.

2012-02-28tcp: fix false reordering signal in tcp_shifted_skbNeal Cardwell
When tcp_shifted_skb() shifts bytes from the skb that is currently pointed to by 'highest_sack' then the increment of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq implicitly advances tcp_highest_sack_seq(). This implicit advancement, combined with the recent fix to pass the correct SACKed range into tcp_sacktag_one(), caused tcp_sacktag_one() to think that the newly SACKed range was before the tcp_highest_sack_seq(), leading to a call to tcp_update_reordering() with a degree of reordering matching the size of the newly SACKed range (typically just 1 packet, which is a NOP, but potentially larger). This commit fixes this by simply calling tcp_sacktag_one() before the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq advancement that can advance our notion of the highest SACKed sequence. Correspondingly, we can simplify the code a little now that tcp_shifted_skb() should update the lost_cnt_hint in all cases where skb == tp->lost_skb_hint.

In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of GLIBC stop working. To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the mere presence of VFs on a network device.

static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.
