BBR congestion control depends on pacing, and pacing is currently handled by sch_fq packet scheduler for performance reasons, and also because implemening pacing with FQ was convenient to truly avoid bursts. However there are many cases where this packet scheduler constraint is not practical. - Many linux hosts are not focusing on handling thousands of TCP flows in the most efficient way. - Some routers use fq_codel or other AQM, but still would like to use BBR for the few TCP flows they initiate/terminate. This patch implements an automatic fallback to internal pacing. Pacing is requested either by BBR or use of SO_MAX_PACING_RATE option. If sch_fq happens to be in the egress path, pacing is delegated to the qdisc, otherwise pacing is done by TCP itself. One advantage of pacing from TCP stack is to get more precise rtt estimations, and less work done from TX completion, since TCP Small queue limits are not generally hit. Setups with single TX queue but many cpus might even benefit from this. Note that unlike sch_fq, we do not take into account header sizes. Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for no practical differences in behavior. Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to ~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.

Paolo Abeni says: ==================== udp: scalability improvements This patch series implement an idea suggested by Eric Dumazet to reduce the contention of the udp sk_receive_queue lock when the socket is under flood. An ancillary queue is added to the udp socket, and the socket always tries first to read packets from such queue. If it's empty, we splice the content from sk_receive_queue into the ancillary queue. The first patch introduces some helpers to keep the udp code small, and the following two implement the ancillary queue strategy. The code is split to hopefully help the reviewing process. The measured overall gain under udp flood is up to the 30% depending on the numa layout and the number of ingress queue used by the relevant nic. The performance numbers have been gathered using pktgen as sender, with 64 bytes packets, random src port on a host b2b connected via a 10Gbs link with the dut. The receiver used the udp_sink program by Jesper [1] and an h/w l4 rx hash on the ingress nic, so that the number of ingress nic rx queues hit by the udp traffic could be controlled via ethtool -L. The udp_sink program was bound to the first idle cpu, to get more stable numbers. On a single numa node receiver: nic rx queues vanilla patched kernel 1 1820 kpps 1900 kpps 2 1950 kpps 2500 kpps 16 1670 kpps 2120 kpps When using a single nic rx queue, busy polling was also enabled, elsewhere, in the above scenario, the bh processing becomes the bottle-neck and this produces large artifacts in the measured performances (e.g. improving the udp sink run time, decreases the overall tput, since more action from the scheduler comes into play). [1] https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/blob/master/src/udp_sink.c v1 -> v2: Patches 1/3 and 2/3 are unchanged, in patch 3/3 the rx_queue_lock_held param of udp_rmem_release() is now a bool. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Paolo Abeni authored
under udp flood the sk_receive_queue spinlock is heavily contended. This patch try to reduce the contention on such lock adding a second receive queue to the udp sockets; recvmsg() looks first in such queue and, only if empty, tries to fetch the data from sk_receive_queue. The latter is spliced into the newly added queue every time the receive path has to acquire the sk_receive_queue lock. The accounting of forward allocated memory is still protected with the sk_receive_queue lock, so udp_rmem_release() needs to acquire both locks when the forward deficit is flushed. On specific scenarios we can end up acquiring and releasing the sk_receive_queue lock multiple times; that will be covered by the next patch Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Jakub Kicinski authored
Since XDP TX ring holds "spare" RX buffers anyway, we don't have to rush the completion. We can wait until ring fills up completely before trying to reclaim buffers. If RX poll has ended an no buffer has been queued for XDP TX we have no guarantee we will see another interrupt, so run the reclaim there as well, to make sure TX statistics won't become stale. This should help us reclaim more buffers per single queue controller register read. Note that the XDP completion is very trivial, it only adds up the sizes of transmitted frames for statistics so the latency spike should be acceptable. In case user sets the ring sizes to something crazy, limit the completion to 2k entries. The check if the ring is empty at the beginning of xdp_complete() is no longer needed - the callers will perform it.

ABI version 4 introduced metadata chaining. Using the ABI version to signal metadata chaining precludes firmware that advertises new capabilities which rely on prepended metadata from working on older kernels. Capability bits are thus better suited to signalling the chained metadata format. A new version of the RSS capability is introduced to distinguish between the differing metadata formats for ABI versions other than 4.

The l4_offset field referred to by NFD is confusingly named. It is not the offset of the L4 transport header, but rather the L4 payload.

When running LDom binding/unbinding test, kernel may panic in ldmvsw_open(). It is more likely that because we're removing the ldc connection before unregistering the netdev in vsw_port_remove(), we set up a window of time where one process could be removing the device while another trying to UP the device. This also sometimes causes vio handshake error due to opening a device without closing it completely. We should unregister the netdev before we disable the "hardware".

Every address gets added with TENTATIVE flag even for the addresses with IFA_F_NODAD flag and dad-work is scheduled for them. During this DAD process we realize it's an address with NODAD and complete the process without sending any probe. However the TENTATIVE flags stays on the address for sometime enough to cause misinterpretation when we receive a NS. While processing NS, if the address has TENTATIVE flag, we mark it DADFAILED and endup with an address that was originally configured as NODAD with DADFAILED. We can't avoid scheduling dad_work for addresses with NODAD but we can avoid adding TENTATIVE flag to avoid this racy situation.
