      rhashtable: Supports for nulls marker · f89bd6f8
      Thomas Graf authored 
      In order to allow for wider usage of rhashtable, use a special nulls
marker to terminate each chain. The reason for not using the existing
nulls_list is that the prev pointer usage would not be valid as entries
can be linked in two different buckets at the same time.

The 4 nulls base bits can be set through the rhashtable_params structure
like this:

struct rhashtable_params params = {
        [...]
        .nulls_base = (1U << RHT_BASE_SHIFT),
};

This reduces the hash length from 32 bits to 27 bits.

      rhashtable: Per bucket locks & deferred expansion/shrinking · 97defe1e
      Thomas Graf authored 
      Introduces an array of spinlocks to protect bucket mutations. The number
of spinlocks per CPU is configurable and selected based on the hash of
the bucket. This allows for parallel insertions and removals of entries
which do not share a lock.

The patch also defers expansion and shrinking to a worker queue which
allows insertion and removal from atomic context. Insertions and
deletions may occur in parallel to it and are only held up briefly
while the particular bucket is linked or unzipped.

Mutations of the bucket table pointer is protected by a new mutex, read
access is RCU protected.

In the event of an expansion or shrinking, the new bucket table allocated
is exposed as a so called future table as soon as the resize process
starts.  Lookups, deletions, and insertions will briefly use both tables.
The future table becomes the main table after an RCU grace period and
initial linking of the old to the new table was performed. Optimization
of the chains to make use of the new number of buckets follows only the
new table is in use.

The side effect of this is that during that RCU grace period, a bucket
traversal using any rht_for_each() variant on the main table will not see
any insertions performed during the RCU grace period which would at that
point land in the future table. The lookup will see them as it searches
both tables if needed.

Having multiple insertions and removals occur in parallel requires nelems
to become an atomic counter.

      nft_hash: Remove rhashtable_remove_pprev() · 897362e4
      Thomas Graf authored 
      The removal function of nft_hash currently stores a reference to the
previous element during lookup which is used to optimize removal later
on. This was possible because a lock is held throughout calling
rhashtable_lookup() and rhashtable_remove().

With the introdution of deferred table resizing in parallel to lookups
and insertions, the nftables lock will no longer synchronize all
table mutations and the stored pprev may become invalid.

Removing this optimization makes removal slightly more expensive on
average but allows taking the resize cost out of the insert and
remove path.

      rhashtable: Factor out bucket_tail() function · b8e1943e
      Thomas Graf authored 
      Subsequent patches will require access to the bucket tail. Access
to the tail is relatively cheap as the automatic resizing of the
table should keep the number of entries per bucket to no more
than 0.75 on average.

      rhashtable: Convert bucket iterators to take table and index · 88d6ed15
      Thomas Graf authored 
      This patch is in preparation to introduce per bucket spinlocks. It
extends all iterator macros to take the bucket table and bucket
index. It also introduces a new rht_dereference_bucket() to
handle protected accesses to buckets.

It introduces a barrier() to the RCU iterators to the prevent
the compiler from caching the first element.

The lockdep verifier is introduced as stub which always succeeds
and properly implement in the next patch when the locks are
introduced.

      Merge branch 'fib_trie-next' · e495f78d

====================
fib_trie: Reduce time spent in fib_table_lookup by 35 to 75%

These patches are meant to address several performance issues I have seen
in the fib_trie implementation, and fib_table_lookup specifically.  With
these changes in place I have seen a reduction of up to 35 to 75% for the
total time spent in fib_table_lookup depending on the type of search being
performed.

On a VM running in my Corei7-4930K system with a trie of maximum depth of 7
this resulted in a reduction of over 370ns per packet in the total time to
process packets received from an ixgbe interface and route them to a dummy
interface.  This represents a failed lookup in the local trie followed by
a successful search in the main trie.

				Baseline	Refactor
  ixgbe->dummy routing		1.20Mpps	2.21Mpps
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  processing time per packet		835ns		453ns
  fib_table_lookup		50.1%	418ns	25.0%	113ns
  check_leaf.isra.9		 7.9%	 66ns	   --	 --
  ixgbe_clean_rx_irq		 5.3%	 44ns	 9.8%	 44ns
  ip_route_input_noref		 2.9%	 25ns	 4.6%	 21ns
  pvclock_clocksource_read	 2.6%	 21ns	 4.6%	 21ns
  ip_rcv			 2.6%	 22ns	 4.0%	 18ns

In the simple case of receiving a frame and dropping it before it can reach
the socket layer I saw a reduction of 40ns per packet.  This represents a
trip through the local trie with the correct leaf found with no need for
any backtracing.

				Baseline	Refactor
  ixgbe->local receive		2.65Mpps	2.96Mpps
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  processing time per packet		377ns		337ns
  fib_table_lookup		25.1%	 95ns	25.8%	 87ns
  ixgbe_clean_rx_irq		 8.7%	 33ns	 9.0%	 30ns
  check_leaf.isra.9		 7.2%	 27ns	   --	 --
  ip_rcv			 5.7%	 21ns	 6.5%	 22ns

These changes have resulted in several functions being inlined such as
check_leaf and fib_find_node, but due to the code simplification the
overall size of the code has been reduced.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  16932	    376	     16	  17324	   43ac	net/ipv4/fib_trie.o - before
  15259	    376	      8	  15643	   3d1b	net/ipv4/fib_trie.o - after

Changes since RFC:
  Replaced this_cpu_ptr with correct call to this_cpu_inc in patch 1
  Changed test for leaf_info mismatch to (key ^ n->key) & li->mask_plen in patch 10

      fib_trie: Add tracking value for suffix length · 5405afd1
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      This change adds a tracking value for the maximum suffix length of all
prefixes stored in any given tnode.  With this value we can determine if we
need to backtrace or not based on if the suffix is greater than the pos
value.

By doing this we can reduce the CPU overhead for lookups in the local table
as many of the prefixes there are 32b long and have a suffix length of 0
meaning we can immediately backtrace to the root node without needing to
test any of the nodes between it and where we ended up.
