Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches. A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing. lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# perf stat -e context-switches ./netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t omni -l 20 -c -i10,3 OMNI Send TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : +/-2.500% @ 99% conf.

For BE3 VFs, the permanent MAC is added by its PF. The VF can retrieve its pmac_id only via the IFACE_CREATE cmd. This is not true for Lancer and SH-R VFs which get the pmac_id by issuing a ADD_IFACE_MAC cmd. So, use this hack only for BE3 VFs.

Until now, bond_resend_igmp_join_requests() looks for vlans attached to bonding device, bridge where bonding act as port manually. It does not care of other scenarios, like stacked bonds or team device above.

Add support to replace an existing entry found in the vxlan fdb database. The entry in question is identified by its unicast mac address and the destination information is changed. If the entry is not found, it is added in the forwarding database. This is similar to changing an entry in the neighbour table. Multicast mac addresses can not be changed with the replace option. This is useful for virtual machine migration when the destination of a target virtual machine changes. The replace feature can be used instead of delete followed by add.

If RTT is not available because Karn's check has failed or no new packet is acked, use the RTT measured from SACK to estimate the RTO. The sender can continue to estimate the RTO during loss recovery or reordering event upon receiving non-partial ACKs. This also changes when the RTO is re-armed. Previously it is only re-armed when some data is cummulatively acknowledged (i.e., SND.UNA advances), but now it is re-armed whenever RTT estimator is updated. This feature is particularly useful to reduce spurious timeout for buffer bloat including cellular carriers [1], and RTT estimation on reordering events.

Take RTT sample if an ACK selectively acks some sequences that have never been retransmitted. The Karn's algorithm does not apply even if that ACK (s)acks other retransmitted sequences, because it must been generated by an original but perhaps out-of-order packet. There is no ambiguity. In case when multiple blocks are newly sacked because of ACK losses the earliest block is used to measure RTT, similar to cummulative ACKs. Such RTT samples allow the sender to estimate the RTO during loss recovery and packet reordering events. It is still useful even with TCP timestamps. That's because during these events the SND.UNA may not advance preventing RTT samples from TS ECR (thus the FLAG_ACKED check before calling tcp_ack_update_rtt()). Therefore this new RTT source is complementary to existing ACK and TS RTT mechanisms. This patch does not update the RTO. It is done in the next patch.

Prefer packet timings to TS-ecr for RTT measurements when both sources are available. That's because broken middle-boxes and remote peer can return packets with corrupted TS ECR fields. Similarly most congestion controls that require RTT signals favor timing-based sources as well. Also check for bad TS ECR values to avoid RTT blow-ups. It has happened on production Web servers.
