net: kill useless net_*_ingress_queue() definitions when NET_CLS_ACT is unset · f0b5e8a4

Pablo Neira authored May 12, 2015

This fixes 4577139b ("net: use jump label patching for ingress qdisc in
__netif_receive_skb_core").

The only client of this is sch_ingress and it depends on NET_CLS_ACT. So
there is no way these definition can be of any help.

Merge branch 'packet_rollover' · 9f0a74d7

David S. Miller authored May 13, 2015

Willem de Bruijn says:

====================
refine packet socket rollover:

1. mitigate a case of lock contention
2. avoid exporting resource exhaustion to other sockets,
   by migrating only to a victim socket that has ample room
3. avoid reordering of most flows on the socket,
   by migrating first the flow responsible for load imbalance
4. help processes detect load imbalance,
   by exporting rollover counters

Context: rollover implements flow migration in packet socket fanout
groups in case of extreme load imbalance. It is a specific
implementation of migration that minimizes reordering by selecting
the same victim socket when possible (and by selecting subsequent
victims in a round robin fashion, from which its name derives).

Changes:
  v2 -> v3:
    - statistics: replace unsigned long with __aligned_u64
  v1 -> v2:
    - huge flow detection: run lockless
    - huge flow detection: replace stored index with random
    - contention avoidance: test in packet_poll while lock held
    - contention avoidance: clear pressure sooner

          packet_poll and packet_recvmsg would clear only if the sock
          is empty to avoid taking the necessary lock. But,
          * packet_poll already holds this lock, so a lockless variant
            __packet_rcv_has_room is cheap.
          * packet_recvmsg is usually called only for non-ring sockets,
            which also runs lockless.

    - preparation: drop "single return" patch

          packet_rcv_has_room is now a locked wrapper around
          __packet_rcv_has_room, achieving the same (single footer).

packet: rollover statistics · a9b63918

Willem de Bruijn authored May 12, 2015

Rollover indicates exceptional conditions. Export a counter to inform
socket owners of this state.

If no socket with sufficient room is found, rollover fails. Also count
these events.

Finally, also count when flows are rolled over early thanks to huge
flow detection, to validate its correctness.

packet: rollover huge flows before small flows · 3b3a5b0a

Willem de Bruijn authored May 12, 2015

Migrate flows from a socket to another socket in the fanout group not
only when the socket is full. Start migrating huge flows early, to
divert possible 4-tuple attacks without affecting normal traffic.

Introduce fanout_flow_is_huge(). This detects huge flows, which are
defined as taking up more than half the load. It does so cheaply, by
storing the rxhashes of the N most recent packets. If over half of
these are the same rxhash as the current packet, then drop it. This
only protects against 4-tuple attacks. N is chosen to fit all data in
a single cache line.

Tested:
Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input.

packet: rollover lock contention avoidance · 2ccdbaa6

Willem de Bruijn authored May 12, 2015

Rollover has to call packet_rcv_has_room on sockets in the fanout
group to find a socket to migrate to. This operation is expensive
especially if the packet sockets use rings, when a lock has to be
acquired.

Avoid pounding on the lock by all sockets by temporarily marking a
socket as "under memory pressure" when such pressure is detected.
While set, only the socket owner may call packet_rcv_has_room on the
socket. Once it detects normal conditions, it clears the flag. The
socket is not used as a victim by any other socket in the meantime.

Under reasonably balanced load, each socket writer frequently calls
packet_rcv_has_room and clears its own pressure field. As a backup
for when the socket is rarely written to, also clear the flag on
reading (packet_recvmsg, packet_poll) if this can be done cheaply
(i.e., without calling packet_rcv_has_room). This is only for
edge cases.

Tested:
  Ran bench_rollover: a process with 8 sockets in a single fanout
  group, each pinned to a single cpu that receives one nic recv
  interrupt. RPS and RFS are disabled. The benchmark uses packet
  rx_ring, which has to take a lock when determining whether a
  socket has room.

  Sent 3.5 Mpps of UDP traffic with sufficient entropy to spread
  uniformly across the packet sockets (and inserted an iptables
  rule to drop in PREROUTING to avoid protocol stack processing).

  Without this patch, all sockets try to migrate traffic to
  neighbors, causing lock contention when searching for a non-
  empty neighbor. The lock is the top 9 entries.

packet: rollover only to socket with headroom · 9954729b

Willem de Bruijn authored May 12, 2015

Only migrate flows to sockets that have sufficient headroom, where
sufficient is defined as having at least 25% empty space.

The kernel has three different buffer types: a regular socket, a ring
with frames (TPACKET_V[12]) or a ring with blocks (TPACKET_V3). The
latter two do not expose a read pointer to the kernel, so headroom is
not computed easily. All three needs a different implementation to
estimate free space.

Tested:
Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input.

bench_rollover has as many sockets as there are NIC receive queues
in the system. Each socket is owned by a process that is pinned to
one of the receive cpus. RFS is disabled. RPS is enabled with an
identity mapping (cpu x -> cpu x), to count drops with softnettop.

packet: rollover prepare: move code out of callsites · ad377cab

Willem de Bruijn authored May 12, 2015

packet_rcv_fanout calls fanout_demux_rollover twice. Move all rollover
logic into the callee to simplify these callsites, especially with
upcoming changes.

The main differences between the two callsites is that the FLAG
variant tests whether the socket previously selected by another
mode (RR, RND, HASH, ..) has room before migrating flows, whereas the
rollover mode has no original socket to test.

Merge branch 'cls_flower' · dd58c635

David S. Miller authored May 13, 2015

Jiri Pirko says:

====================
introduce programable flow dissector and cls_flower

Per Davem's request, I prepared this patchset which introduces programmable
flow dissector. For current users of flow_keys, there is a wrapper
skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys which maintains the previous behaviour.
For purposes of cls_flower, couple of new dissection keys were introduced.

Note that this dissector can be also eventually used by openvswitch code.

Also, as a next step, I plan to get rid of *skb_flow_get_ports(export)
and *__skb_get_poff as their functionality can be now implemented by
skb_flow_dissect as well.

v2->v3:
- remove TCA_FLOWER_POLICE attr suggested by Jamal

v1->v2:
- move __skb_tx_hash rather to dev.c as suggested by Alex
