Add support for adaptive TX moderation. This greatly reduces TX interrupt rate and increases bandwidth, mostly for TCP bandwidth over ARM architecture (below). There is a slight single stream TCP with very large message sizes degradation (x86). In this case if there's any moderation on transmitted packets the bandwidth would reduce due to hitting TCP output limit. Since this is a synthetic case, this is still worth doing. Performance improvement (ConnectX-4Lx 40GbE, ARM) TCP 64B bandwidth with 1-50 streams increased 6-35%. TCP 64B bandwidth with 100-500 streams increased 20-70%. Performance improvement (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) Bandwidth: increased up to 40% (1024B with 10s of streams). Interrupt rate: reduced up to 50% (1024B with 1000s of streams). Performance degradation (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) Bandwidth: up to 10% decrease single stream TCP (1MB message size from 51Gb/s to 47Gb/s).

Interrupt moderation for TX traffic requires different profiles than RX interrupt moderation. The main goal here is to reduce interrupt rate and allow better payload aggregation by keeping SKBs in the TX queue a bit longer. Ping-pong behavior would get a profile with a short timer, so latency wouldn't increase for these scenarios. There might be a slight degradation in bandwidth for single stream with large message sizes, since net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes is limiting the allowed TX traffic, but with many streams performance is always improved.

Similar to commit a2ac9990 ("vhost-net: set packet weight of tx polling to 2 * vq size"), we need a packet-based limit for handler_rx, too - elsewhere, under rx flood with small packets, tx can be delayed for a very long time, even without busypolling. The pkt limit applied to handle_rx must be the same applied by handle_tx, or we will get unfair scheduling between rx and tx. Tying such limit to the queue length makes it less effective for large queue length values and can introduce large process scheduler latencies, so a constant valued is used - likewise the existing bytes limit. The selected limit has been validated with PVP[1] performance test with different queue sizes: queue size 256 512 1024 baseline 366 354 362 weight 128 715 723 670 weight 256 740 745 733 weight 512 600 460 583 weight 1024 423 427 418 A packet weight of 256 gives peek performances in under all the tested scenarios. No measurable regression in unidirectional performance tests has been detected.

tcp_rcv_space_adjust is called every time data is copied to user space, introducing a tcp tracepoint for which could show us when the packet is copied to user. When a tcp packet arrives, tcp_rcv_established() will be called and with the existed tracepoint tcp_probe we could get the time when this packet arrives. Then this packet will be copied to user, and tcp_rcv_space_adjust will be called and with this new introduced tracepoint we could get the time when this packet is copied to user. With these two tracepoints, we could figure out whether the user program processes this packet immediately or there's latency. Hence in the printk message, sk_cookie is printed as a key to relate tcp_rcv_space_adjust with tcp_probe. Maybe we could export sockfd in this new tracepoint as well, then we could relate this new tracepoint with epoll/read/recv* tracepoints, and finally that could show us the whole lifespan of this packet. But we could also implement that with pid as these functions are executed in process context. Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Ahern says: ==================== net/ipv6: Another followup to the fib6_info change Last one - for this week. Patches 1, 2 and 7 are more cleanup patches - removing dead code, moving code from a header to near its single caller, and updating function name. Patches 3-5 do some refactoring leading up to patch 6 which fixes a NULL dereference. I have only managed to trigger a panic once, so I can not definitively confirm it addresses the problem but it seems pretty clear that it is a race on removing a 'from' reference on an rt6_info and another path using that 'from' value to do cookie checking. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When a dst entry is created from a fib entry, the 'from' in rt6_info is set to the fib entry. The 'from' reference is used most notably for cookie checking - making sure stale dst entries are updated if the fib entry is changed. When a fib entry is deleted, the pcpu routes on it are walked releasing the fib6_info reference. This is needed for the fib6_info cleanup to happen and to make sure all device references are released in a timely manner. There is a race window when a FIB entry is deleted and the 'from' on the pcpu route is dropped and the pcpu route hits a cookie check. Handle this race using rcu on from.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-04-21 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Initial work on BPF Type Format (BTF) is added, which is a meta data format which describes the data types of BPF programs / maps. BTF has its roots from CTF (Compact C-Type format) with a number of changes to it. First use case is to provide a generic pretty print capability for BPF maps inspection, later work will also add BTF to bpftool. pahole support to convert dwarf to BTF will be upstreamed as well (https://github.com/iamkafai/pahole/tree/btf), from Martin. 2) Add a new xdp_bpf_adjust_tail() BPF helper for XDP that allows for changing the data_end pointer. Only shrinking is currently supported which helps for crafting ICMP control messages. Minor changes in drivers have been added where needed so they recalc the packet's length also when data_end was adjusted, from Nikita. 3) Improve bpftool to make it easier to feed hex bytes via cmdline for map operations, from Quentin. 4) Add support for various missing BPF prog types and attach types that have been added to kernel recently but neither to bpftool nor libbpf yet. Doc and bash completion updates have been added as well for bpftool, from Andrey. 5) Proper fix for avoiding to leak info stored in frame data on page reuse for the two bpf_xdp_adjust_{head,meta} helpers by disallowing to move the pointers into struct xdp_frame area, from Jesper. 6) Follow-up compile fix from BTF in order to include stdbool.h in libbpf, from Björn. 7) Few fixes in BPF sample code, that is, a typo on the netdevice in a comment and fixup proper dump of XDP action code in the tracepoint exception, from Wang and Jesper. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

AFS server records get removed from the net->fs_servers tree when they're deleted, but not from the net->fs_addresses{4,6} lists, which can lead to an oops in afs_find_server() when a server record has been removed, for instance during rmmod. Fix this by deleting the record from the by-address lists before posting it for RCU destruction. The reason this hasn't been noticed before is that the fileserver keeps probing the local cache manager, thereby keeping the service record alive, so the oops would only happen when a fileserver eventually gets bored and stops pinging or if the module gets rmmod'd and a call comes in from the fileserver during the window between the server records being destroyed and the socket being closed. The oops looks something like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000001c ...
