This patch will filter out the uevent not related to the init_net. Without this patch if a network device is created in a network namespace with the same name as one network device belonging to the initial network namespace (eg. eth0), when the network namespace will die and the network device will be destroyed, an event will be sent and catched by the udevd daemon. That will result to have the real network device to be shutdown because the udevd/uevent are not namespace aware. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

This caused me to get repeatably: tcpdump: pcap_loop: recvfrom: Bad address Happens occassionally when I tcpdump my for-looped test xfers: while [ : ]; do echo -n "$(date '+%s.%N') "; ./sendfile; sleep 20; done Rest of the relevant commands: ethtool -K eth0 tso off tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem drop 4% tcpdump -n -s0 -i eth0 -w sacklog.all Running net-next under kvm, connection goes to the same host (basically just out of kvm). The connection itself works ok and data gets sent without corruption even with a large number of tests while tcpdump fails usually within less than 5 tests. Whether it only happens because of this change or not, I don't know for sure but it's the only thing with which I've seen that error. The non-cloned variant works w/o it for much longer time. I'm yet to debug where the error actually comes from. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The earlier version was just very basic one which is "playing safe" by always clearing the hints. However, clearing of a hint is extremely costly operation with large windows, so it must be avoided at all cost whenever possible, there is a way with shifting too achieve not-clearing.

During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks. Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if that's SACKed as well. This approach has a number of benefits: 1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT 2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas) 3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all around). 4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs advance one hole at a time in the most typical case. TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal cases). I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are basically either: 1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway 2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp of the last segment there is just skewing things more off than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of the holes (besides some substle issues that would make determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway, it has nothing to do with this change then. I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop, some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the walking at that skb but again). In general, they either shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference in practice. In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the big recovery clearing cumulative ack. Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict. TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer passing to struct sacktag_state... :-) My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting tx reclaim)... [The rest is considering future work instead since I got repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that into another, later patch] ...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage: 5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space ...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long), otherwise we'll have to alloc some. With clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat worse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs: TCPSackShifted 398 TCPSackMerged 877 TCPSackShiftFallback 320 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKGSO 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSKBBITS 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSKBDATA 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKBELOW 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKFIRST 1 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKPREVBITS 318 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKMSS 1 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKNOHEAD 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSHIFT 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSEQ 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSMALLPCOUNT 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSMALLLEN 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEHOLE 12 Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work more and wait less. It would be possible to take advantage of the shifting machinery (added in the later patch) in the case of paged data but that can be implemented on top of this change. tcp_skb_is_last check is now provided by the loop. I tested a bit (ss-after-idle-off, fill 4096x4096B xfer, 10s sleep + 4096 x 1byte writes while dropping them for some a while with netem): . 16774097:16775545(1448) ack 1 win 46 . 16775545:16776993(1448) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16759617 win 2399 P 16776993:16777217(224) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16762513 win 2399 . ack 16765409 win 2399 . ack 16768305 win 2399 . ack 16771201 win 2399 . ack 16774097 win 2399 . ack 16776993 win 2399 . ack 16777217 win 2399 P 16777217:16777257(40) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16777257 win 2399 P 16777257:16778705(1448) ack 1 win 46 P 16778705:16780153(1448) ack 1 win 46 FP 16780153:16781313(1160) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16778705 win 2399 . ack 16780153 win 2399 F 1:1(0) ack 16781314 win 2399 While without drop-all period I get this: . 16773585:16775033(1448) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16764897 win 9367 . ack 16767793 win 9367 . ack 16770689 win 9367 . ack 16773585 win 9367 . 16775033:16776481(1448) ack 1 win 46 P 16776481:16777217(736) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16776481 win 9367 . ack 16777217 win 9367 P 16777217:16777218(1) ack 1 win 46 P 16777218:16777219(1) ack 1 win 46 P 16777219:16777220(1) ack 1 win 46 ...
