While using a MQ + NETEM setup, I had confirmation that the default timer migration ( /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration ) is killing us. Installing this on a receiver side of a TCP_STREAM test, (NIC has 8 TX queues) : EST="est 1sec 4sec" for ETH in eth1 do tc qd del dev $ETH root 2>/dev/null tc qd add dev $ETH root handle 1: mq tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:1 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 6ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:2 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 8ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:3 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 10ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:4 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 12ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:5 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 14ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:6 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 16ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:7 $EST netem limit 80000 delay 18ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:8 $EST netem limit 90000 delay 20ms done We can see that timers get migrated into a single cpu, presumably idle at the time timers are set up. Then all qdisc dequeues run from this cpu and huge lock contention happens. This single cpu is stuck in softirq mode and cannot dequeue fast enough. 39.24% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock 2.65% [kernel] [k] netem_enqueue 1.80% [kernel] [k] netem_dequeue 1.63% [kernel] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 1.45% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock_bh By pinning qdisc timers on the cpu running the qdisc, we respect proper XPS setting and remove this lock contention. 5.84% [kernel] [k] netem_enqueue 4.83% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock 2.92% [kernel] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string Current Qdiscs that benefit from this change are : netem, cbq, fq, hfsc, tbf, htb.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: Eliminate gso_send_check gso_send_check presents a lot of complexity for what it is being used for. It seems that there are only two cases where it might be effective: TCP and UFO paths. In these cases, the gso_send_check function initializes the TCP or UDP checksum respectively to the pseudo header checksum so that the checksum computation is appropriately offloaded or computed in the gso_segment functions. The gso_send_check functions are only called from dev.c in skb_mac_gso_segment when ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which seems very unlikely in TCP case). We can move the logic of this into the respective gso_segment functions where the checksum is initialized if ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. With the above cases handled, gso_send_check is no longer needed, so we can remove all uses of it and the fields in the offload callbacks. With this change, ip_summed in the skb should be preserved though all the layers of gso_segment calls. In follow-on patches, we may be able to remove the check setup code in tcp_gso_segment if we can guarantee that ip_summed will always be CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (verify all paths and probably add an assert in tcp_gro_segment). Tested these patches by: - netperf TCP_STREAM test with GSO enabled - Forced ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with above - Ran UDP_RR with 10000 request size over GRE tunnel. This exercised UFO path. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The send_check logic was only interesting in cases of TCP offload and UDP UFO where the checksum needed to be initialized to the pseudo header checksum. Now we've moved that logic into the related gso_segment functions so gso_send_check is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In tcp_v[46]_gso_send_check the TCP checksum is initialized to the pseudo header checksum using __tcp_v[46]_send_check. We can move this logic into new tcp[46]_gso_segment functions to be done when ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL should be the common case, possibly always true when taking GSO path).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Here is a quick pull request primarily meant to address the deconfig fallout from changing SCSI_NETLINK from being used via 'select' to being used via 'depends'. I applied a set of 5 patches written by Michal Marek, and then I carefully audited all of the remaining config files, basically: 1) I scanned every arch config file, and if it mentioned CONFIG_INET or CONFIG_UNIX, I made sure it had CONFIG_NET=y 2) After that, I scanned every arch config file, and if it did not have CONFIG_NET=y I made sure it did not reference any networking config options. Finally, we have some late breaking wireless fixes in here from John Linville and co" [ And there's a sparc bpf fix snuck in too ] * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: sparc: bpf_jit: fix loads from negative offsets parisc: Update defconfigs which were missing CONFIG_NET. powerpc: Update defconfigs which were missing CONFIG_NET. s390: Update defconfigs which were missing CONFIG_NET. mips: Update some more defconfigs which were missing CONFIG_NET. sparc: Set CONFIG_NET=y in defconfigs sh: Set CONFIG_NET=y in defconfigs powerpc: Set CONFIG_NET=y in defconfigs parisc: Set CONFIG_NET=y in defconfigs mips: Set CONFIG_NET=y in defconfigs brcmfmac: Fix off by one bug in brcmf_count_20mhz_channels() ath9k: Fix NULL pointer dereference on early irq net: rfkill: gpio: Fix clock status NFC: st21nfca: Fix potential depmod dependency cycle NFC: st21nfcb: Fix depmod dependency cycle NFC: microread: Potential overflows in microread_target_discovered()

- fix BPF_LD|ABS|IND from negative offsets: make sure to sign extend lower 32 bits in 64-bit register before calling C helpers from JITed code, otherwise 'int k' argument of bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper() function will be added as large unsigned integer, causing packet size check to trigger and abort the program. It's worth noting that JITed code for 'A = A op K' will affect upper 32 bits differently depending whether K is simm13 or not. Since small constants are sign extended, whereas large constants are stored in temp register and zero extended. That is ok and we don't have to pay a penalty of sign extension for every sethi, since all classic BPF instructions have 32-bit semantics and we only need to set correct upper bits when transitioning from JITed code into C. - though instructions 'A &= 0' and 'A *= 0' are odd, JIT compiler should not optimize them out Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pull one last block fix from Jens Axboe: "We've had an issue with scsi-mq where probing takes forever. This was bisected down to the percpu changes for blk_mq_queue_enter(), and the fact we now suffer an RCU grace period when killing a queue. SCSI creates and destroys tons of queues, so this let to 10s of seconds of stalls at boot for some. Tejun has a real fix for this, but it's too involved for 3.17. So this is a temporary workaround to expedite the queue killing until we can fold in the real fix for 3.18 when that merge window opens" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe

blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place asynchronously w.r.t. userland. Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds when scsi-mq is used. This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however, that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment). As a stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it. This is heavy-handed but should work for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

The "by8" implementation introduced in commit 22cddcc7 ("crypto: aes - AES CTR x86_64 "by8" AVX optimization") is failing crypto tests as it handles counter block overflows differently. It only accounts the right most 32 bit as a counter -- not the whole block as all other implementations do. This makes it fail the cryptomgr test #4 that specifically tests this corner case.

If the ccp is built as a built-in module, then ccp-crypto (whether built as a module or a built-in module) will be able to load and it will register its crypto algorithms. If the system does not have a CCP this will result in -ENODEV being returned whenever a command is attempted to be queued by the registered crypto algorithms. Add an API, ccp_present(), that checks for the presence of a CCP on the system. The ccp-crypto module can use this to determine if it should register it's crypto alogorithms.

In spite of what the GCC manual says, the -mfast-indirect-calls has never been supported in the 64-bit parisc compiler. Indirect calls have always been done using function descriptors irrespective of the -mfast-indirect-calls option. Recently, it was noticed that a function descriptor was always requested when the -mfast-indirect-calls option was specified. This caused problems when the option was used in application code and doesn't make any sense because the whole point of the option is to avoid using a function descriptor for indirect calls. Fixing this broke 64-bit kernel builds. I will fix GCC but for now we need the attached change. This results in the same kernel code as before.

Prompted by a change to drivers/scsi/Kconfig which used to do a "select NET" but now does a "depends on NET". This meant that some configurations ended up without CONFIG_NET=y Signed-off-by Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

In order to make TCP more resilient in presence of reorders, we need to allow coalescing to happen when skbs from out of order queue are transferred into receive queue. LRO/GRO can be completely canceled in some pathological cases, like per packet load balancing on aggregated links. I had to move tcp_try_coalesce() up in the file above tcp_ofo_queue() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Current ICMP rate limiting uses inetpeer cache, which is an RBL tree protected by a lock, meaning that hosts can be stuck hard if all cpus want to check ICMP limits. When say a DNS or NTP server process is restarted, inetpeer tree grows quick and machine comes to its knees. iptables can not help because the bottleneck happens before ICMP messages are even cooked and sent. This patch adds a new global limitation, using a token bucket filter, controlled by two new sysctl : icmp_msgs_per_sec - INTEGER Limit maximal number of ICMP packets sent per second from this host. Only messages whose type matches icmp_ratemask are controlled by this limit. Default: 1000 icmp_msgs_burst - INTEGER icmp_msgs_per_sec controls number of ICMP packets sent per second, while icmp_msgs_burst controls the burst size of these packets. Default: 50 Note that if we really want to send millions of ICMP messages per second, we might extend idea and infra added in commit 04ca6973 ("ip: make IP identifiers less predictable") : add a token bucket in the ip_idents hash and no longer rely on inetpeer.
