Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== RDS: zerocopy support This is version 3 of the series, following up on review comments for http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?series=28530 Review comments addressed Patch 4 - fix fragile use of skb->cb[], do not set ee_code incorrectly. Patch 5: - remove needless bzero of skb->cb[], consolidate err cleanup A brief overview of this feature follows. This patch series provides support for MSG_ZERCOCOPY on a PF_RDS socket based on the APIs and infrastructure added by Commit f214f915 ("tcp: enable MSG_ZEROCOPY") For single threaded rds-stress testing using rds-tcp with the ixgbe driver using 1M message sizes (-a 1M -q 1M) preliminary results show that there is a significant reduction in latency: about 90 usec with zerocopy, compared with 200 usec without zerocopy. This patchset modifies the above for zerocopy in the following manner. - if the MSG_ZEROCOPY flag is specified with rds_sendmsg(), and, - if the SO_ZEROCOPY socket option has been set on the PF_RDS socket, application pages sent down with rds_sendmsg are pinned. The pinning uses the accounting infrastructure added by a91dbff5 ("sock: ulimit on MSG_ZEROCOPY pages"). The message is unpinned when all references to the message go down to 0, and the message is freed by rds_message_purge. A multithreaded application using this infrastructure must send down a unique 32 bit cookie as ancillary data with each sendmsg invocation. The format of this ancillary data is described in Patch 5 of the series. The cookie is passed up to the application on the sk_error_queue when the message is unpinned, indicating to the application that it is now safe to free/reuse the message buffer. The details of the completion notification are provided in Patch 4 of this series. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Sowmini Varadhan authored
If the MSG_ZEROCOPY flag is specified with rds_sendmsg(), and, if the SO_ZEROCOPY socket option has been set on the PF_RDS socket, application pages sent down with rds_sendmsg() are pinned. The pinning uses the accounting infrastructure added by Commit a91dbff5 ("sock: ulimit on MSG_ZEROCOPY pages") The payload bytes in the message may not be modified for the duration that the message has been pinned. A multi-threaded application using this infrastructure may thus need to be notified about send-completion so that it can free/reuse the buffers passed to rds_sendmsg(). Notification of send-completion will identify each message-buffer by a cookie that the application must specify as ancillary data to rds_sendmsg(). The ancillary data in this case has cmsg_level == SOL_RDS and cmsg_type == RDS_CMSG_ZCOPY_COOKIE. Signed-off-by:

RDS removes a datagram (rds_message) from the retransmit queue when an ACK is received. The ACK indicates that the receiver has queued the RDS datagram, so that the sender can safely forget the datagram. When all references to the rds_message are quiesced, rds_message_purge is called to release resources used by the rds_message If the datagram to be removed had pinned pages set up, add an entry to the rs->rs_znotify_queue so that the notifcation will be sent up via rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() when the rds_message is eventually freed by rds_message_purge. rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() attempts to batch the number of cookies sent with each notification to a max of SO_EE_ORIGIN_MAX_ZCOOKIES. This is achieved by checking the tail skb in the sk_error_queue: if this has room for one more cookie, the cookie from the current notification is added; else a new skb is added to the sk_error_queue. Every invocation of rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() will trigger a ->sk_error_report to notify the application. Signed-off-by:

allow the application to set SO_ZEROCOPY on the underlying sk of a PF_RDS socket Signed-off-by:

The existing model holds a reference from the rds_sock to the rds_message, but the rds_message does not itself hold a sock_put() on the rds_sock. Instead the m_rs field in the rds_message is assigned when the message is queued on the sock, and nulled when the message is dequeued from the sock. We want to be able to notify userspace when the rds_message is actually freed (from rds_message_purge(), after the refcounts to the rds_message go to 0). At the time that rds_message_purge() is called, the message is no longer on the rds_sock retransmit queue. Thus the explicit reference for the m_rs is needed to send a notification that will signal to userspace that it is now safe to free/reuse any pages that may have been pinned down for zerocopy. This patch manages the m_rs assignment in the rds_message with the necessary refcount book-keeping. Signed-off-by:

When tca_action_flush() calls the action walk() and gets an error, a successful call to nla_nest_start() is not followed by a call to nla_nest_cancel(). It's harmless, as the skb is freed in the error path - but it's worth to fix this unbalance. Signed-off-by:

Andrew Lunn says: ==================== net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Improve PTP access latency PTP needs to retrieve the hardware timestamps from the switch device in a low latency manor. However ethtool -S and bridge fdb show can hold the switch register access mutex for a long time. These patches changes the reading the statistics and the ATU so that the mutex is released and taken again between each statistic or ATU entry. The PTP code can then interleave its access to the hardware, keeping its latency low. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

The PTP code needs low latency access to the PTP hardware timestamps. Reading all the ATU entries in one go adds a lot of latency to the PTP code. So take and release the reg_lock mutex for each individual MAC address in the ATU, allowing the PTP thread jump in between. Signed-off-by:

Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: de-generealize topology server The topology server is partially based on a template that is much more generic than what we need. This results in a code that is unnecessarily hard to follow and keeping bug free. We now take the consequence of the fact that we only have one such server in TIPC, - with no prospects for introducing any more, and adapt the code to the specialized task is really is doing. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

We rename struct tipc_server to struct tipc_topsrv. This reflect its now specialized role as topology server. Accoringly, we change or add function prefixes to make it clearer which functionality those belong to. There are no functional changes in this commit. Acked-by:

We move the listener socket to struct tipc_server and give it its own work item. This makes it easier to follow the code, and entails some simplifications in the reception code in subscriber sockets. Acked-by:

In order to narrow the interface and dependencies between the topology server and the subscription/binding table functionality we move struct tipc_server inside the file server.c. This requires some code adaptations in other files, but those are mostly minor. The most important change is that we have to move the start/stop functions for the topology server to server.c, where they logically belong anyway. Acked-by:

Since we now have removed struct tipc_subscriber from the code, and only struct tipc_subscription remains, there is no longer need for long and awkward prefixes to distinguish between their pertaining functions. We now change all tipc_subscrp_* prefixes to tipc_sub_*. This is a purely cosmetic change. Acked-by:

After the previous changes it becomes logical to collapse the two-level creation of subscription instances into one. We do that here. We also rename the creation and deletion functions for more consistency. Acked-by:

Because of the requirement for total distribution transparency, users send subscriptions and receive topology events in their own host format. It is up to the topology server to determine this format and do the correct conversions to and from its own host format when needed. Until now, this has been handled in a rather non-transparent way inside the topology server and subscriber code, leading to unnecessary complexity when creating subscriptions and issuing events. We now improve this situation by adding two new macros, tipc_sub_read() and tipc_evt_write(). Both those functions calculate the need for conversion internally before performing their respective operations. Hence, all handling of such conversions become transparent to the rest of the code.

The message transmission and reception in the topology server is more generic than is currently necessary. By basing the funtionality on the fact that we only send items of type struct tipc_event and always receive items of struct tipc_subcr we can make several simplifications, and also get rid of some unnecessary dynamic memory allocations.

It is unnecessary to keep two structures, struct tipc_conn and struct tipc_subscriber, with a one-to-one relationship and still with different life cycles. The fact that the two often run in different contexts, and still may access each other via direct pointers constitutes an additional hazard, something we have experienced at several occasions, and still see happening. We have identified at least two remaining problems that are easier to fix if we simplify the topology server data structure somewhat. - When there is a race between a subscription up/down event and a timeout event, it is fully possible that the former might be delivered after the latter, leading to confusion for the receiver. - The function tipc_subcrp_timeout() is executing in interrupt context, while the following call chain is at least theoretically possible: tipc_subscrp_timeout() tipc_subscrp_send_event() tipc_conn_sendmsg() conn_put() tipc_conn_kref_release() sock_release(sock) I.e., we end up calling a function that might try to sleep in interrupt context. To eliminate this, we need to ensure that the tipc_conn structure and the socket, as well as the subscription instances, only are deleted in work queue context, i.e., after the timeout event really has been sent out. We now remove this unnecessary complexity, by merging data and functionality of the subscriber structure into struct tipc_conn and the associated file server.c. We thereafter add a spinlock and a new 'inactive' state to the subscription structure. Using those, both problems described above can be easily solved. Acked-by: -

Interaction between the functionality in server.c and subscr.c is done via function pointers installed in struct server. This makes the code harder to follow, and doesn't serve any obvious purpose. Here, we replace the function pointers with direct function calls. Acked-by:

The socket handling in the topology server is unnecessarily generic. It is prepared to handle both SOCK_RDM, SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM type sockets, as well as the only socket type which is really used, SOCK_SEQPACKET. We now remove this redundant code to make the code more readable. Acked-by:

This should be a general test architecture, and yet allow specific tests to be done. Introduce a plugin architecture. An individual test has 4 stages, setup/execute/verify/teardown. Each plugin gets a chance to run a function at each stage, plus one call before all the tests are called ("pre" suite) and one after all the tests are called ("post" suite). In addition, just before each command is executed, the plugin gets a chance to modify the command using the "adjust_command" hook. This makes the test suite quite flexible. Future patches will take some functionality out of the tdc.py script and place it in plugins. To use the plugins, place the implementation in the plugins directory and run tdc.py. It will notice the plugins and use them. Signed-off-by: -

Separate the functionality of the command line parameters into "selection" parameters, "action" parameters and other parameters. "Selection" parameters are for choosing which tests on which to act. "Action" parameters are for choosing what to do with the selected tests. "Other" parameters are for global effect (like "help" or "verbose"). With this commit, we add the ability to name a directory as another selection mechanism. We can accumulate a number of tests by directory, file, category, or even by test id, instead of being constrained to run all tests in one collection or just one test. Signed-off-by:
