      ====================
      net: sched: summer cleanup part 1, mainly in exts area
      
      This patchset is one of the couple cleanup patchsets I have in queue.
      The motivation aside the obvious need to "make things nicer" is also
      to prepare for shared filter blocks introduction. That requires tp->q
      removal, and therefore removal of all tp->q users.
      
      Patch 1 is just some small thing I spotted on the way
      Patch 2 removes one user of tp->q, namely tcf_em_tree_change
      Patches 3-8 do preparations for exts->nr_actions removal
      Patches 9-10 do simple renames of functions in cls*
      Patches 11-19 remove unnecessary calls of tcf_exts_change helper
      The last patch changes tcf_exts_change to don't take lock
      
      Tested by tools/testing/selftests/tc-testing
      
      v1->v2:
      - removed conversion of action array to list as noted by Cong
      - added the past patch instead
      - small rebases of patches 11-19

      net: sched: avoid atomic swap in tcf_exts_change · 9b0d4446
      Jiri Pirko authored
      tcf_exts_change is always called on newly created exts, which are not used
      on fastpath. Therefore, simple struct copy is enough.

      Merge branch 'socket-sendmsg-zerocopy' · 35615994
      David S. Miller authored
      Willem de Bruijn says:
      
      ====================
      socket sendmsg MSG_ZEROCOPY
      
      Introduce zerocopy socket send flag MSG_ZEROCOPY. This extends the
      shared page support (SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG) from sendpage to sendmsg.
      Implement the feature for TCP initially, as large writes benefit
      most.
      
      On a send call with MSG_ZEROCOPY, the kernel pins user pages and
      links these directly into the skbuff frags[] array.
      
      Each send call with MSG_ZEROCOPY that transmits data will eventually
      queue a completion notification on the error queue: a per-socket u32
      incremented on each such call. A request may have to revert to copy
      to succeed, for instance when a device cannot support scatter-gather
      IO. In that case a flag is passed along to notify that the operation
      succeeded without zerocopy optimization.
      
      The implementation extends the existing zerocopy infra for tuntap,
      vhost and xen with features needed for TCP, notably reference
      counting to handle cloning on retransmit and GSO.
      
      For more details, see also the netdev 2.1 paper and presentation at
      https://netdevconf.org/2.1/session.html?debruijn
      
      Changelog:
      
        v3 -> v4:
          - dropped UDP, RAW and PF_PACKET for now
              Without loopback support, datagrams are usually smaller than
              the ~8KB size threshold needed to benefit from zerocopy.
          - style: a few reverse chrismas tree
          - minor: SO_ZEROCOPY returns ENOTSUPP on unsupported protocols
          - minor: squashed SO_EE_CODE_ZEROCOPY_COPIED patch

          - patch 3
              - fix: always queue completion notification on MSG_ZEROCOPY,
      	    also if revert to copy.
      	- fix: on syscall abort, correctly revert notification state
      	- minor: skip queue notification on SOCK_DEAD
      	- minor: replace BUG_ON with WARN_ON in recoverable error
          - patch 4
              - new: add socket option SOCK_ZEROCOPY.
      	    only honor MSG_ZEROCOPY if set, ignore for legacy apps.
          - patch 5
              - fix: clear zerocopy state on skb_linearize
          - patch 6
              - fix: only coalesce if prev errqueue elem is zerocopy
      	- minor: try coalescing with list tail instead of head

      	    that limits GRO on the client. do not goto new_segment.
      	- fix: fail on MSG_ZEROCOPY | MSG_FASTOPEN
      	- minor: do not wait for memory: does not work for optmem
      	- minor: simplify alloc
          - patch 9 (udp)
              - new: add PF_INET6
              - fix: attach zerocopy notification even if revert to copy
      	- minor: simplify alloc size arithmetic
          - patch 10 (raw hdrinc)
              - new: add PF_INET6
          - patch 11 (pf_packet)
              - minor: simplify slightly
          - patch 12
              - new msg_zerocopy regression test: use veth pair to test
      	    all protocols: ipv4/ipv6/packet, tcp/udp/raw, cork
      	    all relevant ethtool settings: rx off, sg off
      	    all relevant packet lengths: 0, <MAX_HEADER, max size
      
        RFC -> RFCv2:
          - review comment: do not loop skb with zerocopy frags onto rx:
                add skb_orphan_frags_rx to orphan even refcounted frags
      	  call this in __netif_receive_skb_core, deliver_skb and tun:
      	  same as commit 1080e512 ("net: orphan frags on receive")
          - fix: hold an explicit sk reference on each notification skb.
                previously relied on the reference (or wmem) held by the
      	  data skb that would trigger notification, but this breaks
      	  on skb_orphan.
          - fix: when aborting a send, do not inc the zerocopy counter
                this caused gaps in the notification chain
          - fix: in packet with SOCK_DGRAM, pull ll headers before calling
                zerocopy_sg_from_iter
          - fix: if sock_zerocopy_realloc does not allow coalescing,
                do not fail, just allocate a new ubuf
          - fix: in tcp, check return value of second allocation attempt
          - chg: allocate notification skbs from optmem
                to avoid affecting tcp write queue accounting (TSQ)
          - chg: limit #locked pages (ulimit) per user instead of per process
          - chg: grow notification ids from 16 to 32 bit
            - pass range [lo, hi] through 32 bit fields ee_info and ee_data
          - chg: rebased to davem-net-next on top of v4.10-rc7
          - add: limit notification coalescing
                sharing ubufs limits overhead, but delays notification until
      	  the last packet is released, possibly unbounded. Add a cap.
          - tests: add snd_zerocopy_lo pf_packet test
          - tests: two bugfixes (add do_flush_tcp, ++sent not only in debug)
      
      Limitations / Known Issues:
          - TCP may build slightly smaller than max TSO packets due to
            exceeding MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags when zerocopy pages are unaligned.
          - All SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG may require additional __skb_linearize or
            skb_copy_ubufs calls in u32, skb_find_text, similar to
            skb_checksum_help.
      
      Notification skbuffs are allocated from optmem. For sockets that
      cannot effectively coalesce notifications, the optmem max may need
      to be increased to avoid hitting -ENOBUFS:
      
        sysctl -w net.core.optmem_max=1048576
      
      In application load, copy avoidance shows a roughly 5% systemwide
      reduction in cycles when streaming large flows and a 4-8% reduction in
      wall clock time on early tensorflow test workloads.
      
      For the single-machine veth tests to succeed, loopback support has to
      be temporarily enabled by making skb_orphan_frags_rx map to
      skb_orphan_frags.
      
      * Performance
      
      The below table shows cycles reported by perf for a netperf process
      sending a single 10 Gbps TCP_STREAM. The first three columns show
      Mcycles spent in the netperf process context. The second three columns
      show time spent systemwide (-a -C A,B) on the two cpus that run the
      process and interrupt handler. Reported is the median of at least 3
      runs. std is a standard netperf, zc uses zerocopy and % is the ratio.
      Netperf is pinned to cpu 2, network interrupts to cpu3, rps and rfs
      are disabled and the kernel is booted with idle=halt.

      * Safety
      
      The number of pages that can be pinned on behalf of a user with
      MSG_ZEROCOPY is bound by the locked memory ulimit.
      
      While the kernel holds process memory pinned, a process cannot safely
      reuse those pages for other purposes. Packets looped onto the receive
      stack and queued to a socket can be held indefinitely. Avoid unbounded
      notification latency by restricting user pages to egress paths only.
      skb_orphan_frags_rx() will create a private copy of pages even for
      refcounted packets when these are looped, as did skb_orphan_frags for
      the original tun zerocopy implementation.
      
      Pages are not remapped read-only. Processes can modify packet contents
      while packets are in flight in the kernel path. Bytes on which kernel
      control flow depends (headers) are copied to avoid TOCTTOU attacks.
      Datapath integrity does not otherwise depend on payload, with three
      exceptions: checksums, optional sk_filter/tc u32/.. and device +
      driver logic. The effect of wrong checksums is limited to the
      misbehaving process. TC filters that access contents may have to be
      excluded by adding an skb_orphan_frags_rx.
      
      Processes can also safely avoid OOM conditions by bounding the number
      of bytes passed with MSG_ZEROCOPY and by removing shared pages after
      transmission from their own memory map.

      test: add msg_zerocopy test · 07b65c5b
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      Introduce regression test for msg_zerocopy feature. Send traffic from
      one process to another with and without zerocopy.
      
      Evaluate tcp, udp, raw and packet sockets, including variants
      - udp: corking and corking with mixed copy/zerocopy calls
      - raw: with and without hdrincl
      - packet: at both raw and dgram level
      
      Test on both ipv4 and ipv6, optionally with ethtool changes to
      disable scatter-gather, tx checksum or tso offload. All of these
      can affect zerocopy behavior.
      
      The regression test can be run on a single machine if over a veth
      pair. Then skb_orphan_frags_rx must be modified to be identical to
      skb_orphan_frags to allow forwarding zerocopy locally.
      
      The msg_zerocopy.sh script will setup the veth pair in network
      namespaces and run all tests.

      tcp: enable MSG_ZEROCOPY · f214f915
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      Enable support for MSG_ZEROCOPY to the TCP stack. TSO and GSO are
      both supported. Only data sent to remote destinations is sent without
      copying. Packets looped onto a local destination have their payload
      copied to avoid unbounded latency.
      
      Tested:
        A 10x TCP_STREAM between two hosts showed a reduction in netserver
        process cycles by up to 70%, depending on packet size. Systemwide,
        savings are of course much less pronounced, at up to 20% best case.
      
        msg_zerocopy.sh 4 tcp:
      
        without zerocopy
          tx=121792 (7600 MB) txc=0 zc=n
          rx=60458 (7600 MB)
      
        with zerocopy
          tx=286257 (17863 MB) txc=286257 zc=y
          rx=140022 (17863 MB)
      
        This test opens a pair of sockets over veth, one one calls send with
        64KB and optionally MSG_ZEROCOPY and on the other reads the initial
        bytes. The receiver truncates, so this is strictly an upper bound on
        what is achievable. It is more representative of sending data out of
        a physical NIC (when payload is not touched, either).

      sock: MSG_ZEROCOPY notification coalescing · 4ab6c99d
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      In the simple case, each sendmsg() call generates data and eventually
      a zerocopy ready notification N, where N indicates the Nth successful
      invocation of sendmsg() with the MSG_ZEROCOPY flag on this socket.
      
      TCP and corked sockets can cause send() calls to append new data to an
      existing sk_buff and, thus, ubuf_info. In that case the notification
      must hold a range. odify ubuf_info to store a inclusive range [N..N+m]
      and add skb_zerocopy_realloc() to optionally extend an existing range.
      
      Also coalesce notifications in this common case: if a notification
      [1, 1] is about to be queued while [0, 0] is the queue tail, just modify
      the head of the queue to read [0, 1].
      
      Coalescing is limited to a few TSO frames worth of data to bound
      notification latency.
