Disabling TSO but leaving SG active results is a significant performance drop. Therefore disable also SG on RTL8168evl. This restores the original performance.

Josh Hunt authored
The current implementation of TCP MTU probing can considerably underestimate the MTU on lossy connections allowing the MSS to get down to 48. We have found that in almost all of these cases on our networks these paths can handle much larger MTUs meaning the connections are being artificially limited. Even though TCP MTU probing can raise the MSS back up we have seen this not to be the case causing connections to be "stuck" with an MSS of 48 when heavy loss is present. Prior to pushing out this change we could not keep TCP MTU probing enabled b/c of the above reasons. Now with a reasonble floor set we've had it enabled for the past 6 months. The new sysctl will still default to TCP_MIN_SND_MSS (48), but gives administrators the ability to control the floor of MSS probing.

Starting from commit d41a69f1 ("tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog") loopback flows got hurt, because for each skb sent, the socket receives an immediate ACK and sk_flush_backlog() causes extra work. Intent was to not let the backlog grow too much, but we went a bit too far. We can check the backlog every 16 skbs (about 1MB chunks) to increase TCP over loopback performance by about 15 % Note that the call to sk_flush_backlog() handles a single ACK, thanks to coalescing done on backlog, but cleans the 16 skbs found in rtx rb-tree.

Since node internal messages are passed directly to the socket, it is not possible to observe those messages via tcpdump or wireshark. We now remedy this by making it possible to clone such messages and send the clones to the loopback interface. The clones are dropped at reception and have no functional role except making the traffic visible. The feature is enabled if network taps are active for the loopback device. pcap filtering restrictions require the messages to be presented to the receiving side of the loopback device. v3 - Function dev_nit_active used to check for network taps. - Procedure netif_rx_ni used to send cloned messages to loopback device.

Edward Cree says: ==================== net: batched receive in GRO path This series listifies part of GRO processing, in a manner which allows those packets which are not GROed (i.e. for which dev_gro_receive returns GRO_NORMAL) to be passed on to the listified regular receive path. dev_gro_receive() itself is not listified, nor the per-protocol GRO callback, since GRO's need to hold packets on lists under napi->gro_hash makes keeping the packets on other lists awkward, and since the GRO control block state of held skbs can refer only to one 'new' skb at a time. Instead, when napi_frags_finish() handles a GRO_NORMAL result, stash the skb onto a list in the napi struct, which is received at the end of the napi poll or when its length exceeds the (new) sysctl net.core.gro_normal_batch. Performance figures with this series, collected on a back-to-back pair of Solarflare sfn8522-r2 NICs with 120-second NetPerf tests. In the stats, sample size n for old and new code is 6 runs each; p is from a Welch t-test. Tests were run both with GRO enabled and disabled, the latter simulating uncoalesceable packets (e.g. due to IP or TCP options). The receive side (which was the device under test) had the NetPerf process pinned to one CPU, and the device interrupts pinned to a second CPU. CPU utilisation figures (used in cases of line-rate performance) are summed across all CPUs. net.core.gro_normal_batch was left at its default value of 8. TCP 4 streams, GRO on: all results line rate (9.415Gbps) net-next: 210.3% cpu after #1: 181.5% cpu (-13.7%, p=0.031 vs net-next) after #3: 196.7% cpu (- 8.4%, p=0.136 vs net-next) TCP 4 streams, GRO off: net-next: 8.017 Gbps after #1: 7.785 Gbps (- 2.9%, p=0.385 vs net-next) after #3: 7.604 Gbps (- 5.1%, p=0.282 vs net-next. But note *) TCP 1 stream, GRO off: net-next: 6.553 Gbps after #1: 6.444 Gbps (- 1.7%, p=0.302 vs net-next) after #3: 6.790 Gbps (+ 3.6%, p=0.169 vs net-next) TCP 1 stream, GRO on, busy_read = 50: all results line rate net-next: 156.0% cpu after #1: 174.5% cpu (+11.9%, p=0.015 vs net-next) after #3: 165.0% cpu (+ 5.8%, p=0.147 vs net-next) TCP 1 stream, GRO off, busy_read = 50: net-next: 6.488 Gbps after #1: 6.625 Gbps (+ 2.1%, p=0.059 vs net-next) after #3: 7.351 Gbps (+13.3%, p=0.026 vs net-next) TCP_RR 100 streams, GRO off, 8000 byte payload net-next: 995.083 us after #1: 969.167 us (- 2.6%, p=0.204 vs net-next) after #3: 976.433 us (- 1.9%, p=0.254 vs net-next) TCP_RR 100 streams, GRO off, 8000 byte payload, busy_read = 50: net-next: 2.851 ms after #1: 2.871 ms (+ 0.7%, p=0.134 vs net-next) after #3: 2.937 ms (+ 3.0%, p<0.001 vs net-next) TCP_RR 100 streams, GRO off, 1 byte payload, busy_read = 50: net-next: 867.317 us after #1: 865.717 us (- 0.2%, p=0.334 vs net-next) after #3: 868.517 us (+ 0.1%, p=0.414 vs net-next) (*) These tests produced a mixture of line-rate and below-line-rate results, meaning that statistically speaking the results were 'censored' by the upper bound, and were thus not normally distributed, making a Welch t-test mathematically invalid. I therefore also calculated estimators according to [1], which gave the following: net-next: 8.133 Gbps after #1: 8.130 Gbps (- 0.0%, p=0.499 vs net-next) after #3: 7.680 Gbps (- 5.6%, p=0.285 vs net-next) (though my procedure for determining ν wasn't mathematically well-founded either, so take that p-value with a grain of salt). A further check came from dividing the bandwidth figure by the CPU usage for each test run, giving: net-next: 3.461 after #1: 3.198 (- 7.6%, p=0.145 vs net-next) after #3: 3.641 (+ 5.2%, p=0.280 vs net-next) The above results are fairly mixed, and in most cases not statistically significant. But I think we can roughly conclude that the series marginally improves non-GROable throughput, without hurting latency (except in the large-payload busy-polling case, which in any case yields horrid performance even on net-next (almost triple the latency without busy-poll). Also, drivers which, unlike sfc, pass UDP traffic to GRO would expect to see a benefit from gaining access to batching. Changed in v3: * gro_normal_batch sysctl now uses SYSCTL_ONE instead of &one * removed RFC tags (no comments after a week means no-one objects, right?) Changed in v2: * During busy poll, call gro_normal_list() to receive batched packets after each cycle of the napi busy loop. See comments in Patch #3 for complications of doing the same in busy_poll_stop(). [1]: Cohen 1959, doi: 10.1080/00401706.1959.10489859 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When GRO decides not to coalesce a packet, in napi_frags_finish(), instead of passing it to the stack immediately, place it on a list in the napi struct. Then, at flush time (napi_complete_done(), napi_poll(), or napi_busy_loop()), call netif_receive_skb_list_internal() on the list. We'd like to do that in napi_gro_flush(), but it's not called if !napi->gro_bitmask, so we have to do it in the callers instead. (There are a handful of drivers that call napi_gro_flush() themselves, but it's not clear why, or whether this will affect them.) Because a full 64 packets is an inefficiently large batch, also consume the list whenever it exceeds gro_normal_batch, a new net/core sysctl that defaults to 8.

We already scored points when handling the RX event, no-one else does this, and looking at the history it appears this was originally meant to only score on merges, not on GRO_NORMAL. Moreover, it gets in the way of changing GRO to not immediately pass GRO_NORMAL skbs to the stack. Performance testing with four TCP streams received on a single CPU (where throughput was line rate of 9.4Gbps in all tests) showed a 13.7% reduction in RX CPU usage (n=6, p=0.03).
