While investigating performance problems on small RPC workloads, I noticed linux TCP stack was always splitting the last TSO skb into two parts (skbs). One being a multiple of MSS, and a small one with the Push flag. This split is done even if TCP_NODELAY is set, or if no small packet is in flight. Example with request/response of 4K/4K IP A > B: . ack 68432 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 65537:68433(2896) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 68433:69633(1200) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP B > A: . ack 68433 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: . 69632:72528(2896) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: P 72528:73728(1200) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP A > B: . ack 72528 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 69633:72529(2896) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 72529:73729(1200) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> We can avoid this split by including the Nagle tests at the right place. Note : If some NIC had trouble sending TSO packets with a partial last segment, we would have hit the problem in GRO/forwarding workload already. tcp_minshall_update() is moved to tcp_output.c and is updated as we might feed a TSO packet with a partial last segment. This patch tremendously improves performance, as the traffic now looks like : IP A > B: . ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP A > B: P 94209:98305(4096) ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP B > A: . ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP B > A: P 98304:102400(4096) ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP A > B: . ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP A > B: P 98305:102401(4096) ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP B > A: . ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP B > A: P 102400:106496(4096) ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP A > B: . ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP A > B: P 102401:106497(4096) ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP B > A: . ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> IP B > A: P 106496:110592(4096) ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> Before : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280774 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 205719.049006 task-clock # 9.278 CPUs utilized 8,449,968 context-switches # 0.041 M/sec 1,935,997 CPU-migrations # 0.009 M/sec 160,541 page-faults # 0.780 K/sec 548,478,722,290 cycles # 2.666 GHz [83.20%] 455,240,670,857 stalled-cycles-frontend # 83.00% frontend cycles idle [83.48%] 272,881,454,275 stalled-cycles-backend # 49.75% backend cycles idle [66.73%] 166,091,460,030 instructions # 0.30 insns per cycle # 2.74 stalled cycles per insn [83.39%] 29,150,229,399 branches # 141.699 M/sec [83.30%] 1,943,814,026 branch-misses # 6.67% of all branches [83.32%] 22.173517844 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 16851063 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23878580777 0.0 After patch : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280877 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 107496.071918 task-clock # 4.847 CPUs utilized 5,635,458 context-switches # 0.052 M/sec 1,374,707 CPU-migrations # 0.013 M/sec 160,920 page-faults # 0.001 M/sec 281,500,010,924 cycles # 2.619 GHz [83.28%] 228,865,069,307 stalled-cycles-frontend # 81.30% frontend cycles idle [83.38%] 142,462,742,658 stalled-cycles-backend # 50.61% backend cycles idle [66.81%] 95,227,712,566 instructions # 0.34 insns per cycle # 2.40 stalled cycles per insn [83.43%] 16,209,868,171 branches # 150.795 M/sec [83.20%] 874,252,952 branch-misses # 5.39% of all branches [83.37%] 22.175821286 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 11239428 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23595191035 0.0 Indeed, the occupancy of tx skbs (IpExtOutOctets/IpOutRequests) is higher : 2099 instead of 1417, thus helping GRO to be more efficient when using FQ packet scheduler.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of updates for the 3.14 stream... For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "This is the first batch of patches intended for 3.14. There is nothing big here. Most of the code are refactors, clean up, small fixes, plus some new device id support." And... "More patches to 3.14. Here we have the support for Low Energy Connection Oriented Channels (LE CoC). Basically, as the name says, this adds supports for connection oriented channels in the same way we already have them for BR/EDR connections so profiles/protocols that work on top of BR/EDR can now work on LE plus a plenty of new possibilities for LE." For the ath10k bits, Kalle says: "Janusz and Marek implemented DFS support to ath10k, but the code is not enabled yet due to missing cfg80211/mac80211 patches (it will be enabled in the next pull request). Michal did some device reset fixes and made it possible for ath10k to share an interrupt with another device. And lots of smaller fixes from different people." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I have here a big rework of the rate control by Eyal. This is obviously the biggest part of this batch. I also have enhancement of protection flags by Avri and a few bits for WoWLAN by Eliad and Luca. Johannes cleans up the debugfs plus a few fixes. I provided a few things for Bluetooth coexistence. Besides this we have an implementation for low priority scan." Along with all that, there are big batches of updates to mwifiex and ath9k, Jeff Kirsher's FSF address fix patches, and a handful of other bits here and there.

Sebastian Hesselbarth says: ==================== net: phy: Ethernet PHY powerdown optimization This is v2 of the ethernet PHY power optimization patches to reduce power consumption of network PHYs with link that are either unused or the corresponding netdev is down. Compared to the last version, this patch set drops a patch to disable unused PHYs after late initcall, as it is not compatible with a modular mdio bus [1]. I'll investigate different ways to have a modular mdio bus driver get notified when driver loading is done. Again, a branch with v2 applied to v3.13-rc2 can also be found at https://github.com/shesselba/linux-dove.git topic/ethphy-power-v2 [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg293028.html ==================== Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e only (again). Jesse provides a fix for when tx_rings structure is NULL and we do not want to panic. Then refactors the flow control set up and disables L2 flow control by default. Provides some trivial fixes as well as prevent compiler warnings. Then to align to similar behaviour in ixgbe, use the total number of CPUs in the system to suggest the number of transmit and receive queue pairs. Shannon provides a i40e ethtool fix to get some more reasonable information reports back out to the ethtool. In addition, fixes PF reset after offline test, where it reorders the test to put the register test last as it is the only one that needs a reset, and we wait to trigger the reset until after we clear the testing bit. Lastly provides basic support for handling suspend and resume for now, later on Wake-On-LAN support will be added. Anjali provides changes to tell the stack about our actual number of queues in order for RFS/RPS/XFS to work correctly. Then provides several patches to implement dynamically changing the queue count for the main VSI. Adds basic support for get/set channels for RSS so that the number of receive and transmit queue pair can be changed via ethtool. Cleans up the use of rtnl_lock in the reset patch since it runs from a work time. Neerav Parikh cleans up the VF interface to remove FCoE code as this feature will not be supported on VF interfaces. v2: - submitted patch 1 to net (since it was a fix needed for net), so dropped from this series (this patch will get added to net-next when Dave syncs his trees) - Dropped patches 4 & 11 from previous submission because of feedback received from Ben Hutchings and Sergei Shtylyov. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Francesco Fusco says: ==================== ovs: introduce arch-specific fast hashing improvements From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> We are introducing a fast hash function (see patch1) that can be used in the context of OpenVSwitch to reduce the hashing footprint (patch2). For details, please see individual patches! v1->v2: - Make hash generic and place it under lib ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Francesco Fusco authored
Currently OVS uses jhash2() for calculating flow hashes in its internal flow_hash() function. The performance of the flow_hash() function is critical, as the input data can be hundreds of bytes long. OVS is largely deployed in x86_64 based datacenters. Therefore, we argue that the performance critical fast path of OVS should exploit underlying CPU features in order to reduce the per packet processing costs. We replace jhash2 with the hash implementation provided by the kernel hash lib, which exploits the crc32l instruction to achieve high performance Our patch greatly reduces the hash footprint from ~200 cycles of jhash2() to around ~90 cycles in case of ovs_flow_hash_crc() (measured with rdtsc over maximum length flow keys on an i7 Intel CPU). Additionally, we wrote a microbenchmark to stress the flow table performance. The benchmark inserts random flows into the flow hash and then performs lookups. Our hash deployed on a CRC32 capable CPU reduces the lookup for 1000 flows, 100 masks from ~10,100us to ~6,700us, for example. Thus, simply use the newly introduced arch_fast_hash2() as a drop-in replacement. Signed-off-by:

Francesco Fusco authored
We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to jhash() for the generic case. On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor. Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well in follow-up work. Signed-off-by:

Any user-initiated path which eventually calls reset needs to hold the rtnl_lock, so add functionality to do that. Be careful not to use the safe reset when cleaning up from the diagnostic tests, which avoids rtnl_lock recursion from ethtool. Protect the reset_task with rtnl_lock, since it runs from a work item.

The current driver default sets the number of transmit/receive queue pairs based on the current node's CPU count. A better method is to use the total number of CPUs in the system to suggest the number of queue pairs, which aligns better with the behavior of ixgbe, and also with the expectations of the kernel XPS and other subsystems in the stack.
