      bond: add support to read speed and duplex via ethtool · bb5b052f
      Andy Gospodarek authored
      This patch adds support for the get_settings ethtool op to the bonding
      driver.  This was motivated by users who wanted to get the speed of the
      bond and compare that against throughput to understand utilization.
      The behavior before this patch was added was problematic when computing
      line utilization after trying to get link-speed and throughput via SNMP.
      
      Output from ethtool looks like this for a round-robin bond:
      
      Settings for bond0:
      	Supported ports: [ ]
      	Supported link modes:   Not reported
      	Supported pause frame use: No
      	Supports auto-negotiation: No
      	Advertised link modes:  Not reported
      	Advertised pause frame use: No
      	Advertised auto-negotiation: No
      	Speed: 11000Mb/s
      	Duplex: Full
      	Port: Other
      	PHYAD: 0
      	Transceiver: internal
      	Auto-negotiation: off
      	MDI-X: Unknown
      	Link detected: yes
      
      I tested this and verified it works as expected.  A test was also done
      on a version backported to an older kernel and it worked well there.
      
      v2: Switch to using ethtool_cmd_speed_set to set speed, added check to
      SLAVE_IS_OK for each slave in bond, dropped mode-specific calculations
      as they were not needed, and set port type to 'Other.'
      
      v3: Fix useless assignment and checkpatch warning.

      This patch introduces a small, internal helper function, that is used by
      PF_PACKET. Based on the flags that are passed, it extracts the packet
      timestamp in the receive path. This is merely a refactoring to remove
      some duplicate code in tpacket_rcv(), to make it more readable, and to
      enable others to use this function in PF_PACKET as well, e.g. for TX.

      net: socket: move ktime2ts to ktime header api · 6e94d1ef
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Currently, ktime2ts is a small helper function that is only used in
      net/socket.c. Move this helper into the ktime API as a small inline
      function, so that i) it's maintained together with ktime routines,
      and ii) also other files can make use of it. The function is named
      ktime_to_timespec_cond() and placed into the generic part of ktime,
      since we internally make use of ktime_to_timespec(). ktime_to_timespec()
      itself does not check the ktime variable for zero, hence, we name
      this function ktime_to_timespec_cond() for only a conditional
      conversion, and adapt its users to it.

      Merge branch 'netlink-mmap' · 42bbcb78
      David S. Miller authored
      Patrick McHardy says:
      
      ====================
      The following patches contain an implementation of memory mapped I/O for
      netlink. The implementation is modelled after AF_PACKET memory mapped I/O
      with a few differences:
      
      - In order to perform memory mapped I/O to userspace, the kernel allocates
        skbs with the data area pointing to the data area of the mapped frames.
        All netlink subsystems assume a linear data area, so for the sake of
        simplicity, the mapped data area is not attached to the paged area but
        to skb->data. This requires introduction of a special skb alloction
        function that just allocates an skb head without the data area. Since this
        is a quite rare use case, I introduced a new function based on __alloc_skb
        instead of splitting it up into head and data alloction. The alternative
        would be to   introduce an __alloc_skb_head and __alloc_skb_data function,
        which would actually be useful for a specific error case in memory mapped
        netlink, but would require a couple of extra instructions for the common
        skb allocation case, so it doesn't really seem worth it.
      
        In order to get the destination memory area for skb->data before message
        construction, memory mapped netlink I/O needs to look up the destination
        socket during allocation instead of during transmission because the
        ring is owned by the receiveing socket/process. A special skb allocation
        function (netlink_alloc_skb) taking the destination pid as an argument is
        used for this, all subsystems that want to support memory mapped I/O need
        to use this function, automatic fallback to the receive queue happens
        for unconverted subsystems. Dumps automatically use memory mapped I/O if
        the receiving socket has enabled it.
      
        The visible effect of looking up the destination socket during allocation
        instead of transmission is that message ordering in userspace might
        change in case allocation and transmission aren't performed atomically.
        This usually doesn't matter since most subsystems have a BKL-like lock
        like the rtnl mutex, to my knowledge the currently only existing case
        where it might matter is nfnetlink_queue combined with the recently
        introduced batched verdicts, but a) that subsystem already includes
        sequence numbers which allow userspace to reorder messages in case it
        cares to, also the reodering window is quite small and b) with memory
        mapped transmission batching can be performed in a subsystem indepandant
        manner.
      
      - AF_NETLINK contains flow control for database dumps, with regular I/O
        dump continuation are triggered based on the sockets receive queue space
        and by recvmsg() calls. Since with memory mapped I/O there are no
        recvmsg() calls under normal operation, this is done in netlink_poll(),
        under the assumption that userspace has processed all pending frames
        before invoking poll(), thus the ring is expected to have room for new
        messages. Dumps currently don't benefit as much as they could from
        memory mapped I/O because each single continuation requires a poll()
        call. A more agressive approach seems like a good idea to me, especially
        in case the socket is not subscribed to any multicast groups (IOW only
        receiving explicitly requested data).
      
      Besides that, the memory mapped netlink implementation extends the states
      defined by AF_PACKET between userspace and the kernel by a SKIP status, this
      is intended for the case that userspace wants to queue frames (specifically
      when using nfnetlink_queue, an IDS and stream reassembly, requested by
      Eric Leblond) for a longer period of time. The kernel skips over all frames
      marked with SKIP when looking or unused frames and only fails when not finding
      a free frame or when having skipped the entire ring.
      
      Also noteworthy is memory mapped sendmsg: the kernel performs validation
      of messages before accepting and processing them, in order to prevent
      userspace from changing the messages contents after validation, the
      kernel checks that the ring is only mapped once and the file descriptor
      is not shared (in order to avoid having userspace set up another mapping
      after the first mentioned check). If either of both is not true, the
      message copied to an allocated skb and processed as with regular I/O.
      I'd especially appreciate review of this part since I'm not really versed
      in memory, file and process management,
      
      The remaining interesting details are included in the changelogs of the
      individual patches and the documentation, so I won't repeat them here.
      
      As an example, nfnetlink_queue is convererted to support memory mapped
      I/O. Other subsystems that would probably benefit are nfnetlink_log,
      audit and maybe ISCSI, not sure.
      
      Following are some numbers collected by Florian Westphal based on a
      slightly older version, which included an experimental patch for the
      nfnetlink_queue ordering issue.
      
      ===
      
      Test hardware is a 12-core machine
      Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz
      ixgbe interfaces are used (i.e., multiqueue nics).
      irqs are distributed across the cpus.
      
      I've made several tests.
      
      The simple one consists of 3GBit UDP traffic, packets are 1500 bytes
      in size (i.e., no fragmentation), with a single nfqueue
      and the test client programs in libmnl examples directory.
      Packets are sent from one /24 net to another /24 net, i.e.
      there are a few hundred flows active at any given time.
      
      I've also tested with snort, but I disabled all rules.
      6Gbit UDP traffic is generated in the snort case, and
      6 nfqueues are used (i.e., 6 snorts run in parallel).
      
      I've tested with 3 different kernels, all based on 3.7.1.
      - 3.7.1, without the mmap patches
      - 3.7.1, with Patricks mmap patches
      - 3.7.1, with mmap patches and extended spinlock to ensure packet ids are
        monotonically increasing and cannot be re-ordered.  This is what we
        currently ship in our product.
      
        [ the spinlock that is extended is the per nfqueue spinlock, it will
          be held from the time the netlink skb is allocated until the netlink
          skb is sent to userspace:
      
          http://1984.lsi.us.es/git/nf-next/commit/?h=mmap-netlink3&id=b8eb19c46650fef4e9e4fe53f367f99bbf72afc9
        ]
      
      snort is normally used in "batch mode", i.e., after processing 25 packets
      a single "batch verdict" is sent to accept the packets seen so far.
      "mmap snort" means RX_RING + sendmsg(), i.e. TX_RING is not used at this
      time (except where noted below).
      
      One reason is that snort has a reload thread, so kernel needs to copy;
      also in the snort case no payload rewrite takes place, so compared
      to the rx path the tx path is cheap.
      
      Results:
      
      3.7.1, without mmap patches, i.e. recv()+sendmsg() for everyone
      nfq-queue:           1.7 gbit out
      snort-recv-batch-25  5.1 gbit out
      snort-recv-no-batch  3.1 gbit out
      
      3.7.1 + mmap + without extended spinlocked section
      nfq-queue:           1.7 gbit out (recv/sendmsg)
      nfq-queue-mmap:      2.4 gbit out
      snort-mmap-batch-25	 5.6 gbit out  (warning: since ids can be
                                              re-ordered, this version is "broken").
      snort-recv-batch-25	 5.1 gbit out
      snort-mmap-no-batch	 4.6 gbit out (i.e., one verdict per packet)
      
      Kernel 3.7.1 + mmap + extended spinlock section:
      nfq-queue:	1.4 gbit out
      nfq-queue-mmap: 2.3 gbit out
      snort:          5.6 gbit out
      
      Conclusions:
      - The "extended spinlocked section" hurts performance in the
        single queue case; with 6 snorts there is no measureable slowdown.
      - I tried to re-write the mmap-snort to work without batch verdicts, but
        results were not very encouraging:
      
      kernel 3.7.1 + mmap (without extended spinlocked section):
      
      snort-mmap-batch-25      5.6 gbit out (what we currenlty ship)
      snort-recv-batch-25      5.1 gbit out (without using mmap)
      snort-mmap-batch-1       4.6 gbit out (with mmap but without batch verdicts)
      snort-mmap-txring-25     5.2 gbit out (with mmap but without batch verdicts)
      snort-mmap-txring-1      4.6 gbit out (with mmap but without batch verdicts)
      
      The difference between the last two is that in the txring-25 case, we
      put a verdict into the tx ring after every packet, but will only
      invoke sendmsg(, NULL, 0) after processing 25 packets.  So the only
      difference is the number of sendmsg calls/context switches.
      
      So, i.o.w, kernel 3.7.1 + mmap + the extra locking crap is faster
      than 3.7.1 + mmap-without-extra-locking and single-verdict-per packet.

      netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O · cd1df525
      Patrick McHardy authored
      Add flow control for memory mapped RX. Since user-space usually doesn't
      invoke recvmsg() when using memory mapped I/O, flow control is performed
      in netlink_poll(). Dumps are allowed to continue if at least half of the
      ring frames are unused.

      netlink: implement memory mapped recvmsg() · f9c22888
      Patrick McHardy authored
      Add support for mmap'ed recvmsg(). To allow the kernel to construct messages
      into the mapped area, a dataless skb is allocated and the data pointer is
      set to point into the ring frame. This means frames will be delivered to
      userspace in order of allocation instead of order of transmission. This
      usually doesn't matter since the order is either not determinable by
      userspace or message creation/transmission is serialized. The only case
      where this can have a visible difference is nfnetlink_queue. Userspace
      can't assume mmap'ed messages have ordered IDs anymore and needs to check
      this if using batched verdicts.
      
      For non-mapped sockets, nothing changes.

      netlink: implement memory mapped sendmsg() · 5fd96123
      Patrick McHardy authored
      Add support for mmap'ed sendmsg() to netlink. Since the kernel validates
      received messages before processing them, the code makes sure userspace
      can't modify the message contents after invoking sendmsg(). To do that
      only a single mapping of the TX ring is allowed to exist and the socket
      must not be shared. If either of these two conditions does not hold, it
      falls back to copying.

      netlink: add netlink_skb_set_owner_r() · cf0a018a
      Patrick McHardy authored
      For mmap'ed I/O a netlink specific skb destructor needs to be invoked
      after the final kfree_skb() to clean up state. This doesn't work currently
      since the skb's ownership is transfered to the receiving socket using
      skb_set_owner_r(), which orphans the skb, thereby invoking the destructor
      prematurely.
      
      Since netlink doesn't account skbs to the originating socket, there's no
      need to orphan the skb. Add a netlink specific skb_set_owner_r() variant
      that does not orphan the skb and use a netlink specific destructor to
      call sock_rfree().

      Netlink doesn't account skbs to the sending socket, so the there's no
      need to orphan the skb before trimming it.
      
      Removing the skb_orphan() call is required for mmap'ed netlink, which uses
      a netlink specific skb destructor that must not be invoked before the
      final freeing of the skb.
