Jiri Pirko says: ==================== switchdev: bring back switchdev_obj Second version of the patch extends to a patchset. Basically this patchset brings object structure back which disappeared with recent Vivien's patchset. Also it does a bit of naming changes in order to get the things in line. Also, object id is put back into object structure. Thanks to Scott and Vivien for review and suggestions. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp/dccp: lockless listener TCP listener refactoring : this is becoming interesting ! This patch series takes the steps to use normal TCP/DCCP ehash table to store SYN_RECV requests, instead of the private per-listener hash table we had until now. SYNACK skb are now attached to their syn_recv request socket, so that we no longer heavily modify listener sk_wmem_alloc. listener lock is no longer held in fast path, including SYNCOOKIE mode. During my tests, my server was able to process 3,500,000 SYN packets per second on one listener and still had available cpu cycles. That is about 2 to 3 order of magnitude what we had with older kernels. This effort started two years ago and I am pleased to reach expectations. We'll probably extend SO_REUSEPORT to add proper cpu/numa affinities, so that heavy duty TCP servers can get proper siloing thanks to multi-queues NIC. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Everything should now be ready to finally allow SYN packets processing without holding listener lock. Tested: 3.5 Mpps SYNFLOOD. Plenty of cpu cycles available.

If a listen backlog is very big (to avoid syncookies), then the listener sk->sk_wmem_alloc is the main source of false sharing, as we need to touch it twice per SYNACK re-transmit and TX completion. (One SYN packet takes listener lock once, but up to 6 SYNACK are generated) By attaching the skb to the request socket, we remove this source of contention. Tested: listen(fd, 10485760); // single listener (no SO_REUSEPORT) 16 RX/TX queue NIC Sustain a SYNFLOOD attack of ~320,000 SYN per second, Sending ~1,400,000 SYNACK per second.

In this patch, we insert request sockets into TCP/DCCP regular ehash table (where ESTABLISHED and TIMEWAIT sockets are) instead of using the per listener hash table. ACK packets find SYN_RECV pseudo sockets without having to find and lock the listener. In nominal conditions, this halves pressure on listener lock. Note that this will allow for SO_REUSEPORT refinements, so that we can select a listener using cpu/numa affinities instead of the prior 'consistent hash', since only SYN packets will apply this selection logic. We will shrink listen_sock in the following patch to ease code review.

mem_cgroup_read_stat() returns a page count by summing per cpu page counters. The summing is racy wrt. updates, so a transient negative sum is possible. Callers don't want negative values: - mem_cgroup_wb_stats() doesn't want negative nr_dirty or nr_writeback. This could confuse dirty throttling. - oom reports and memory.stat shouldn't show confusing negative usage. - tree_usage() already avoids negatives. Avoid returning negative page counts from mem_cgroup_read_stat() and convert it to unsigned.

The problem starts with a file backed dirty page which is charged to a memcg. Then page migration is used to move oldpage to newpage. Migration: - copies the oldpage's data to newpage - clears oldpage.PG_dirty - sets newpage.PG_dirty - uncharges oldpage from memcg - charges newpage to memcg Clearing oldpage.PG_dirty decrements the charged memcg's dirty page count. However, because newpage is not yet charged, setting newpage.PG_dirty does not increment the memcg's dirty page count. After migration completes newpage.PG_dirty is eventually cleared, often in account_page_cleaned(). At this time newpage is charged to a memcg so the memcg's dirty page count is decremented which causes underflow because the count was not previously incremented by migration. This underflow causes balance_dirty_pages() to see a very large unsigned number of dirty memcg pages which leads to aggressive throttling of buffered writes by processes in non root memcg. This issue: - can harm performance of non root memcg buffered writes. - can report too small (even negative) values in memory.stat[(total_)dirty] counters of all memcg, including the root. To avoid polluting migrate.c with #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG checks, introduce page_memcg() and set_page_memcg() helpers.

SunDong reported the following on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103841 I think I find a linux bug, I have the test cases is constructed. I can stable recurring problems in fedora22(4.0.4) kernel version, arch for x86_64. I construct transparent huge page, when the parent and child process with MAP_SHARE, MAP_PRIVATE way to access the same huge page area, it has the opportunity to lead to huge page copy on write failure, and then it will munmap the child corresponding mmap area, but then the child mmap area with VM_MAYSHARE attributes, child process munmap this area can trigger VM_BUG_ON in set_vma_resv_flags functions (vma - > vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE). There were a number of problems with the report (e.g. it's hugetlbfs that triggers this, not transparent huge pages) but it was fundamentally correct in that a VM_BUG_ON in set_vma_resv_flags() can be triggered that looks like this vma ffff8804651fd0d0 start 00007fc474e00000 end 00007fc475e00000 next ffff8804651fd018 prev ffff8804651fd188 mm ffff88046b1b1800 prot 8000000000000027 anon_vma (null) vm_ops ffffffff8182a7a0 pgoff 0 file ffff88106bdb9800 private_data (null) flags: 0x84400fb(read|write|shared|mayread|maywrite|mayexec|mayshare|dontexpand|hugetlb) ------------ kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:462! SMP Modules linked in: xt_pkttype xt_LOG xt_limit [..] CPU: 38 PID: 26839 Comm: map Not tainted 4.0.4-default #1 Hardware name: Dell Inc. PowerEdge R810/0TT6JF, BIOS 2.7.4 04/26/2012 set_vma_resv_flags+0x2d/0x30 The VM_BUG_ON is correct because private and shared mappings have different reservation accounting but the warning clearly shows that the VMA is shared. When a private COW fails to allocate a new page then only the process that created the VMA gets the page -- all the children unmap the page. If the children access that data in the future then they get killed. The problem is that the same file is mapped shared and private. During the COW, the allocation fails, the VMAs are traversed to unmap the other private pages but a shared VMA is found and the bug is triggered. This patch identifies such VMAs and skips them.
