====================
Perf. optimizations for TCP Recv. Zerocopy

This patchset contains several optimizations for TCP Recv. Zerocopy.

Summarized:
1. It is possible that a read payload is not exactly page aligned -
that there may exist "straggler" bytes that we cannot map into the
caller's address space cleanly. For this, we allow the caller to
provide as argument a "hybrid copy buffer", turning
getsockopt(TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE) into a "hybrid" operation that allows
the caller to avoid a subsequent recvmsg() call to read the
stragglers.

2. Similarly, for "small" read payloads that are either below the size
of a page, or small enough that remapping pages is not a performance
win - we allow the user to short-circuit the remapping operations
entirely and simply copy into the buffer provided.

Some of the patches in the middle of this set are refactors to support
this "short-circuiting" optimization.

3. We allow the user to provide a hint that performing a page zap
operation (and the accompanying TLB shootdown) may not be necessary,
for the provided region that the kernel will attempt to map pages
into. This allows us to avoid this expensive operation while holding
the socket lock, which provides a significant performance advantage.

With all of these changes combined, "medium" sized receive traffic
(multiple tens to few hundreds of KB) see significant efficiency gains
when using TCP receive zerocopy instead of regular recvmsg(). For
example, with RPC-style traffic with 32KB messages, there is a roughly
15% efficiency improvement when using zerocopy. Without these changes,
there is a roughly 60-70% efficiency reduction with such messages when
employing zerocopy.

      net-zerocopy: Defer vm zap unless actually needed. · 94ab9eb9
      Arjun Roy authored 
      Zapping pages is required only if we are calling vm_insert_page into a
region where pages had previously been mapped. Receive zerocopy allows
reusing such regions, and hitherto called zap_page_range() before
calling vm_insert_page() in that range.

zap_page_range() can also be triggered from userspace with
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). If userspace is configured to call this before
reusing a segment, or if there was nothing mapped at this virtual
address to begin with, we can avoid calling zap_page_range() under the
socket lock. That said, if userspace does not do that, then we are
still responsible for calling zap_page_range().

This patch adds a flag that the user can use to hint to the kernel
that a zap is not required. If the flag is not set, or if an older
user application does not have a flags field at all, then the kernel
calls zap_page_range as before. Also, if the flag is set but a zap is
still required, the kernel performs that zap as necessary. Thus
incorrectly indicating that a zap can be avoided does not change the
correctness of operation. It also increases the batchsize for
vm_insert_pages and prefetches the page struct for the batch since
we're about to bump the refcount.

An alternative mechanism could be to not have a flag, assume by
default a zap is not needed, and fall back to zapping if needed.
However, this would harm performance for older applications for which
a zap is necessary, and thus we implement it with an explicit flag
so newer applications can opt in.

When using RPC-style traffic with medium sized (tens of KB) RPCs, this
change yields an efficency improvement of about 30% for QPS/CPU usage.

      net-zerocopy: Introduce short-circuit small reads. · f21a3c48
      Arjun Roy authored 
      Sometimes, we may call tcp receive zerocopy when inq is 0,
or inq < PAGE_SIZE, or inq is generally small enough that
it is cheaper to copy rather than remap pages.

In these cases, we may want to either return early (inq=0) or
attempt to use the provided copy buffer to simply copy
the received data.

This allows us to save both system call overhead and
the latency of acquiring mmap_sem in read mode for cases where
it would be useless to do so.

This patchset enables this behaviour by:
1. Returning quickly if inq is 0.
2. Attempting to perform a regular copy if a hybrid copybuffer is
   provided and it is large enough to absorb all available bytes.
3. Return quickly if no such buffer was provided and there are less
   than PAGE_SIZE bytes available.

For small RPC ping-pong workloads, normally we would have
1 getsockopt(), 1 recvmsg() and 1 sendmsg() call per RPC. With this
change, we remove the recvmsg() call entirely, reducing the syscall
overhead by about 33%. In testing with small (hundreds of bytes)
RPC traffic, this yields a syscall reduction of about 33% and
an efficiency gain of about 3-5% when defined as QPS/CPU Util.

      net-zerocopy: Refactor skb frag fast-forward op. · 7fba5309
      Arjun Roy authored 
      Refactor skb frag fast-forwarding for tcp receive zerocopy. This is
part of a patch set that introduces short-circuited hybrid copies
for small receive operations, which results in roughly 33% fewer
syscalls for small RPC scenarios.

skb_advance_to_frag(), given a skb and an offset into the skb,
iterates from the first frag for the skb until we're at the frag
specified by the offset. Assuming the offset provided refers to how
many bytes in the skb are already read, the returned frag points to
the next frag we may read from, while offset_frag is set to the number
of bytes from this frag that we have already read.

If frag is not null and offset_frag is equal to 0, then we may be able
to map this frag's page into the process address space with
vm_insert_page(). However, if offset_frag is not equal to 0, then we
cannot do so.

      Refactor tcp_recvmsg() by splitting it into locked and unlocked
portions. Callers already holding the socket lock and not using
ERRQUEUE/cmsg/busy polling can simply call tcp_recvmsg_locked().
This is in preparation for a short-circuit copy performed by
TCP receive zerocopy for small (< PAGE_SIZE, or otherwise requested
by the user) reads.

      net-zerocopy: Copy straggler unaligned data for TCP Rx. zerocopy. · 18fb76ed
      Arjun Roy authored 
      When TCP receive zerocopy does not successfully map the entire
requested space, it outputs a 'hint' that the caller should recvmsg().

Augment zerocopy to accept a user buffer that it tries to copy this
hint into - if it is possible to copy the entire hint, it will do so.
This elides a recvmsg() call for received traffic that isn't exactly
page-aligned in size.

This was tested with RPC-style traffic of arbitrary sizes. Normally,
each received message required at least one getsockopt() call, and one
recvmsg() call for the remaining unaligned data.

With this change, almost all of the recvmsg() calls are eliminated,
leading to a savings of about 25%-50% in number of system calls
for RPC-style workloads.
