On hosts with a lot of cores, RPC workloads suffer from heavy contention on slab spinlocks. 20.69% [kernel] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath 5.64% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock 3.83% [kernel] [k] syscall_return_via_sysret 3.48% [kernel] [k] __entry_text_start 1.76% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 1.64% [kernel] [k] __fget For each sendmsg(), we allocate one skb, and free it at the time ACK packet comes. In many cases, ACK packets are handled by another cpus, and this unfortunately incurs heavy costs for slab layer. This patch uses an extra pointer in socket structure, so that we try to reuse the same skb and avoid these expensive costs. We cache at most one skb per socket so this should be safe as far as memory pressure is concerned. Signed-off-by:Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by:

Paolo Abeni says: ==================== net: dev: BYPASS for lockless qdisc This patch series is aimed at improving xmit performances of lockless qdisc in the uncontended scenario. After the lockless refactor pfifo_fast can't leverage the BYPASS optimization. Due to retpolines the overhead for the avoidables enqueue and dequeue operations has increased and we see measurable regressions. The first patch introduces the BYPASS code path for lockless qdisc, and the second one optimizes such path further. Overall this avoids up to 3 indirect calls per xmit packet. Detailed performance figures are reported in the 2nd patch. v2 -> v3: - qdisc_is_empty() has a const argument (Eric) v1 -> v2: - use really an 'empty' flag instead of 'not_empty', as suggested by Eric ==================== Signed-off-by: -

With commit c5ad119f ("net: sched: pfifo_fast use skb_array") pfifo_fast no longer benefit from the TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS optimization. Due to retpolines the cost of the enqueue()/dequeue() pair has become relevant and we observe measurable regression for the uncontended scenario when the packet-rate is below line rate. After commit 46b1c18f ("net: sched: put back q.qlen into a single location") we can check for empty qdisc with a reasonably fast operation even for nolock qdiscs. This change extends TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS support to nolock qdisc. The new chunk of code mirrors closely the existing one for traditional qdisc, leveraging a newly introduced helper to read atomically the qdisc length. Tested with pktgen in queue xmit mode, with pfifo_fast, a MQ device, and MQ root qdisc: threads vanilla patched kpps kpps 1 2465 2889 2 4304 5188 4 7898 9589 Same as above, but with a single queue device: threads vanilla patched kpps kpps 1 2556 2827 2 2900 2900 4 5000 5000 8 4700 4700 No mesaurable changes in the contended scenarios, and more 10% improvement in the uncontended ones. v1 -> v2: - rebased after flag name change Signed-off-by:

The queue is marked not empty after acquiring the seqlock, and it's up to the NOLOCK qdisc clearing such flag on dequeue. Since the empty status lays on the same cache-line of the seqlock, it's always hot on cache during the updates. This makes the empty flag update a little bit loosy. Given the lack of synchronization between enqueue and dequeue, this is unavoidable. v2 -> v3: - qdisc_is_empty() has a const argument (Eric) v1 -> v2: - use really an 'empty' flag instead of 'not_empty', as suggested by Eric Signed-off-by:

Since maxattr is common, the policy can't really differ sanely, so make it common as well. The only user that did in fact manage to make a non-common policy is taskstats, which has to be really careful about it (since it's still using a common maxattr!). This is no longer supported, but we can fake it using pre_doit. This reduces the size of e.g. nl80211.o (which has lots of commands): text data bss dec hex filename 398745 14323 2240 415308 6564c net/wireless/nl80211.o (before) 397913 14331 2240 414484 65314 net/wireless/nl80211.o (after) -------------------------------- -832 +8 0 -824 Which is obviously just 8 bytes for each command, and an added 8 bytes for the new policy pointer. I'm not sure why the ops list is counted as .text though. Most of the code transformations were done using the following spatch: @ops@ identifier OPS; expression POLICY; @@ struct genl_ops OPS[] = { ..., { - .policy = POLICY, }, ... }; @@ identifier ops.OPS; expression ops.POLICY; identifier fam; expression M; @@ struct genl_family fam = { .ops = OPS, .maxattr = M, + .policy = POLICY, ... }; This also gets rid of devlink_nl_cmd_region_read_dumpit() accessing the cb->data as ops, which we want to change in a later genl patch.

Vlad Buslov says: ==================== Refactor flower classifier to remove dependency on rtnl lock Currently, all netlink protocol handlers for updating rules, actions and qdiscs are protected with single global rtnl lock which removes any possibility for parallelism. This patch set is a third step to remove rtnl lock dependency from TC rules update path. Recently, new rtnl registration flag RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_UNLOCKED was added. TC rule update handlers (RTM_NEWTFILTER, RTM_DELTFILTER, etc.) are already registered with this flag and only take rtnl lock when qdisc or classifier requires it. Classifiers can indicate that their ops callbacks don't require caller to hold rtnl lock by setting the TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED flag. The goal of this change is to refactor flower classifier to support unlocked execution and register it with unlocked flag. This patch set implements following changes to make flower classifier concurrency-safe: - Implement reference counting for individual filters. Change fl_get to take reference to filter. Implement tp->ops->put callback that was introduced in cls API patch set to release reference to flower filter. - Use tp->lock spinlock to protect internal classifier data structures from concurrent modification. - Handle concurrent tcf proto deletion by returning EAGAIN, which will cause cls API to retry and create new proto instance or return error to the user (depending on message type). - Handle concurrent insertion of filter with same priority and handle by returning EAGAIN, which will cause cls API to lookup filter again and process it accordingly to netlink message flags. - Extend flower mask with reference counting and protect masks list with masks_lock spinlock. - Prevent concurrent mask insertion by inserting temporary value to masks hash table. This is necessary because mask initialization is a sleeping operation and cannot be done while holding tp->lock. Both chain level and classifier level conflicts are resolved by returning -EAGAIN to cls API that results restart of whole operation. This retry mechanism is a result of fine-grained locking approach used in this and previous changes in series and is necessary to allow concurrent updates on same chain instance. Alternative approach would be to lock the whole chain while updating filters on any of child tp's, adding and removing classifier instances from the chain. However, since most CPU-intensive parts of filter update code are specifically in classifier code and its dependencies (extensions and hw offloads), such approach would negate most of the gains introduced by this change and previous changes in the series when updating same chain instance. Tcf hw offloads API is not changed by this patch set and still requires caller to hold rtnl lock. Refactored flower classifier tracks rtnl lock state by means of 'rtnl_held' flag provided by cls API and obtains the lock before calling hw offloads. Following patch set will lift this restriction and refactor cls hw offloads API to support unlocked execution. With these changes flower classifier is safely registered with TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED flag in last patch. Changes from V2 to V3: - Rebase on latest net-next Changes from V1 to V2: - Extend cover letter with explanation about retry mechanism. - Rebase on current net-next. - Patch 1: - Use rcu_dereference_raw() for tp->root dereference. - Update comment in fl_head_dereference(). - Patch 2: - Remove redundant check in fl_change error handling code. - Add empty line between error check and new handle assignment. - Patch 3: - Refactor loop in fl_get_next_filter() to improve readability. - Patch 4: - Refactor __fl_delete() to improve readability. - Patch 6: - Fix comment in fl_check_assign_mask(). - Patch 9: - Extend commit message. - Fix error code in comment. - Patch 11: - Fix fl_hw_replace_filter() to always release rtnl lock in error handlers. - Patch 12: - Don't take rtnl lock before calling __fl_destroy_filter() in workqueue context. - Extend commit message with explanation why flower still takes rtnl lock before calling hardware offloads API.

Set TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED for flower classifier to indicate that its ops callbacks don't require caller to hold rtnl lock. Don't take rtnl lock in fl_destroy_filter_work() that is executed on workqueue instead of being called by cls API and is not affected by setting TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED. Rtnl mutex is still manually taken by flower classifier before calling hardware offloads API that has not been updated for unlocked execution. Signed-off-by:

Without rtnl lock protection tcf proto can be deleted concurrently. Check tcf proto 'deleting' flag after taking tcf spinlock to verify that no concurrent deletion is in progress. Return EAGAIN error if concurrent deletion detected, which will cause caller to retry and possibly create new instance of tcf proto. Retry mechanism is a result of fine-grained locking approach used in this and previous changes in series and is necessary to allow concurrent updates on same chain instance.

Extend flower filters with reference counting in order to remove dependency on rtnl lock in flower ops and allow to modify filters concurrently. Reference to flower filter can be taken/released concurrently as soon as it is marked as 'unlocked' by last patch in this series. Use atomic reference counter type to make concurrent modifications safe. Always take reference to flower filter while working with it: - Modify fl_get() to take reference to filter. - Implement tp->put() callback as fl_put() function to allow cls API to release reference taken by fl_get(). - Modify fl_change() to assume that caller holds reference to fold and take reference to fnew. - Take reference to filter while using it in fl_walk(). Implement helper functions to get/put filter reference counter. Signed-off-by:

As a preparation for using classifier spinlock instead of relying on external rtnl lock, rearrange code in fl_change. The goal is to group the code which changes classifier state in single block in order to allow following commits in this set to protect it from parallel modification with tp->lock. Data structures that require tp->lock protection are mask hashtable and filters list, and classifier handle_idr. fl_hw_replace_filter() is a sleeping function and cannot be called while holding a spinlock. In order to execute all sequence of changes to shared classifier data structures atomically, call fl_hw_replace_filter() before modifying them. Signed-off-by:

Flower classifier only changes root pointer during init and destroy. Cls API implements reference counting for tcf_proto, so there is no danger of concurrent access to tp when it is being destroyed, even without protection provided by rtnl lock.

rhashtable_try_insert() currently holds a lock on the bucket in the first table, while also locking buckets in subsequent tables. This is unnecessary and looks like a hold-over from some earlier version of the implementation. As insert and remove always lock a bucket in each table in turn, and as insert only inserts in the final table, there cannot be any races that are not covered by simply locking a bucket in each table in turn. When an insert call reaches that last table it can be sure that there is no matchinf entry in any other table as it has searched them all, and insertion never happens anywhere but in the last table. The fact that code tests for the existence of future_tbl while holding a lock on the relevant bucket ensures that two threads inserting the same key will make compatible decisions about which is the "last" table. This simplifies the code and allows the ->rehash field to be discarded. We still need a way to ensure that a dead bucket_table is never re-linked by rhashtable_walk_stop(). This can be achieved by calling call_rcu() inside the locked region, and checking with rcu_head_after_call_rcu() in rhashtable_walk_stop() to see if the bucket table is empty and dead. Acked-by:

fib_trie implementation calls synchronize_rcu when a certain amount of pages are dirty from freed entries. The number of pages was determined experimentally in 2009 (commit c3059477). At the current setting, synchronize_rcu is called often -- 51 times in a second in one test with an average of an 8 msec delay adding a fib entry. The total impact is a lot of slow down modifying the fib. This is seen in the output of 'time' - the difference between real time and sys+user. For example, using 720,022 single path routes and 'ip -batch'[1]: $ time ./ip -batch ipv4/routes-1-hops real 0m14.214s user 0m2.513s sys 0m6.783s So roughly 35% of the actual time to install the routes is from the ip command getting scheduled out, most notably due to synchronize_rcu (this is observed using 'perf sched timehist'). This patch makes the amount of dirty memory configurable between 64k where the synchronize_rcu is called often (small, low end systems that are memory sensitive) to 64M where synchronize_rcu is called rarely during a large FIB change (for high end systems with lots of memory). The default is 512kB which corresponds to the current setting of 128 pages with a 4kB page size. As an example, at 16MB the worst interval shows 4 calls to synchronize_rcu in a second blocking for up to 30 msec in a single instance, and a total of almost 100 msec across the 4 calls in the second. The trade off is allowing FIB entries to consume more memory in a given time window but but with much better fib insertion rates (~30% increase in prefixes/sec). With this patch and net.ipv4.fib_sync_mem set to 16MB, the same batch file runs in: $ time ./ip -batch ipv4/routes-1-hops real 0m9.692s user 0m2.491s sys 0m6.769s So the dead time is reduced to about 1/2 second or <5% of the real time. [1] 'ip' modified to not request ACK messages which improves route insertion times by about 20% Signed-off-by:

SIOCGSKNS returns net ns of socket, so it is not suitable for obtaining net ns of device. We may have two tun devices with the same names in two net ns, and in this case it's not possible to determ, which of them fd refers to (TUNGETIFF will return the same name).
