2013-12-10inet: fix NULL pointer Oops in fib(6)_rule_suppressStefan Tomanek
This changes ensures that the routing entry investigated by the suppress function actually does point to a device struct before following that pointer, fixing a possible kernel oops situation when verifying the interface group associated with a routing table entry. According to Daniel Golle, this Oops can be triggered by a user process trying to establish an outgoing IPv6 connection while having no real IPv6 connectivity set up (only autoassigned link-local addresses).

2013-12-09neigh: restore old behaviour of default parms valuesJiri Pirko
Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added. Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

2013-12-09tipc: remove interface state mirroring in bearerErik Hugne
struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a packet via the interface. This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC links will not discover a media failure any faster through this mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet sending and reception. Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and completely unnecessary deadlock problem. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- Time 0: bearer_disable() link_timeout() Time 1: spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) tipc_link_push_queue() Time 2: tipc_link_delete() tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr) Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer) I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock. We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and more manageable. An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer(). We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an interface goes down. A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks with the new behavior.

2013-12-09packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket optionDaniel Borkmann
This patch introduces a PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option, that allows for using a similar xmit() function as in pktgen instead of taking the dev_queue_xmit() path. This can be very useful when PF_PACKET applications are required to be used in a similar scenario as pktgen, but with full, flexible packet payload that needs to be provided, for example. On default, nothing changes in behaviour for normal PF_PACKET TX users, so everything stays as is for applications. New users, however, can now set PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS if needed to prevent own packets from i) reentering packet_rcv() and ii) to directly push the frame to the driver. In doing so we can increase pps (here 64 byte packets) for PF_PACKET a bit: # CPUs -- QDISC_BYPASS -- qdisc path -- qdisc path[**] 1 CPU == 1,509,628 pps -- 1,208,708 -- 1,247,436 2 CPUs == 3,198,659 pps -- 2,536,012 -- 1,605,779 3 CPUs == 4,787,992 pps -- 3,788,740 -- 1,735,610 4 CPUs == 6,173,956 pps -- 4,907,799 -- 1,909,114 5 CPUs == 7,495,676 pps -- 5,956,499 -- 2,014,422 6 CPUs == 9,001,496 pps -- 7,145,064 -- 2,155,261 7 CPUs == 10,229,776 pps -- 8,190,596 -- 2,220,619 8 CPUs == 11,040,732 pps -- 9,188,544 -- 2,241,879 9 CPUs == 12,009,076 pps -- 10,275,936 -- 2,068,447 10 CPUs == 11,380,052 pps -- 11,265,337 -- 1,578,689 11 CPUs == 11,672,676 pps -- 11,845,344 -- 1,297,412 [...] 20 CPUs == 11,363,192 pps -- 11,014,933 -- 1,245,081 [**]: qdisc path with packet_rcv(), how probably most people seem to use it (hopefully not anymore if not needed) The test was done using a modified trafgen, sending a simple static 64 bytes packet, on all CPUs. The trick in the fast "qdisc path" case, is to avoid reentering packet_rcv() by setting the RAW socket protocol to zero, like: socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0); Tradeoffs are documented as well in this patch, clearly, if queues are busy, we will drop more packets, tc disciplines are ignored, and these packets are not visible to taps anymore. For a pktgen like scenario, we argue that this is acceptable. The pointer to the xmit function has been placed in packet socket structure hole between cached_dev and prot_hook that is hot anyway as we're working on cached_dev in each send path.

2013-12-09packet: fix send path when running with proto == 0Daniel Borkmann
Commit e40526cb20b5 introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to update the device used for the send path. We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0 passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind. So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline these helper functions automagically. While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(), and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware of that in his reference example [1]).

2013-12-06br: fix use of ->rx_handler_data in code executed on non-rx_handler pathJiri Pirko
br_stp_rcv() is reached by non-rx_handler path. That means there is no guarantee that dev is bridge port and therefore simple NULL check of ->rx_handler_data is not enough. There is need to check if dev is really bridge port and since only rcu read lock is held here, do it by checking ->rx_handler pointer. Note that synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister() ensures this approach as valid.

2013-12-06sunrpc: add an "info" file for the dummy gssd pipeJeff Layton
rpc.gssd expects to see an "info" file in each clntXX dir. Since adding the dummy gssd pipe, users that run rpc.gssd see a lot of these messages spamming the logs: rpc.gssd[508]: ERROR: can't open /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/gssd/clntXX/info: No such file or directory rpc.gssd[508]: ERROR: failed to read service info Add a dummy gssd/clntXX/info file to help silence these messages.

2013-12-06rpc_pipe: remove the clntXX dir if creating the pipe failsJeff Layton
In the event that we create the gssd/clntXX dir, but the pipe creation subsequently fails, then we should remove the clntXX dir before returning. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2013-12-06sunrpc: replace sunrpc_net->gssd_running flag with a more reliable checkJeff Layton
Now that we have a more reliable method to tell if gssd is running, we can replace the sn->gssd_running flag with a function that will query to see if it's up and running. There's also no need to attempt an upcall that we know will fail, so just return -EACCES if gssd isn't running. Finally, fix the warn_gss() message not to claim that that the upcall timed out since we don't necesarily perform one now when gssd isn't running, and remove the extraneous newline from the message.

2013-12-06sunrpc: create a new dummy pipe for gssd to hold openJeff Layton
rpc.gssd will naturally hold open any pipe named */clnt*/gssd that shows up under rpc_pipefs. That behavior gives us a reliable mechanism to tell whether it's actually running or not. Create a new toplevel "gssd" directory in rpc_pipefs when it's mounted. Under that directory create another directory called "clntXX", and then within that a pipe called "gssd". We'll never send an upcall along that pipe, and any downcall written to it will just return -EINVAL.

2013-12-06tcp: auto corkingEric Dumazet
With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets. Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes) If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push will be delayed up to TX completion time. This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls. The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring. Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of autocorking being triggered. Add a new sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking) to control this feature and default it to 1 (enabled) Add a new SNMP counter : nstat -a | grep TcpExtTCPAutoCorking This counter is incremented every time we detected skb was under used and its flush was deferred. Tested: Interesting effects when using line buffered commands under ssh. Excellent performance results in term of cpu usage and total throughput. lpq83:~# echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 9410.39 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 35209.439626 task-clock # 2.901 CPUs utilized 2,294 context-switches # 0.065 K/sec 101 CPU-migrations # 0.003 K/sec 4,079 page-faults # 0.116 K/sec 97,923,241,298 cycles # 2.781 GHz [83.31%] 51,832,908,236 stalled-cycles-frontend # 52.93% frontend cycles idle [83.30%] 25,697,986,603 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.24% backend cycles idle [66.70%] 102,225,978,536 instructions # 1.04 insns per cycle # 0.51 stalled cycles per insn [83.38%] 18,657,696,819 branches # 529.906 M/sec [83.29%] 91,679,646 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches [83.40%] 12.136204899 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 6624.89 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 40045.864494 task-clock # 3.301 CPUs utilized 171 context-switches # 0.004 K/sec 53 CPU-migrations # 0.001 K/sec 4,080 page-faults # 0.102 K/sec 111,340,458,645 cycles # 2.780 GHz [83.34%] 61,778,039,277 stalled-cycles-frontend # 55.49% frontend cycles idle [83.31%] 29,295,522,759 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.31% backend cycles idle [66.67%] 108,654,349,355 instructions # 0.98 insns per cycle # 0.57 stalled cycles per insn [83.34%] 19,552,170,748 branches # 488.244 M/sec [83.34%] 157,875,417 branch-misses # 0.81% of all branches [83.34%] 12.130267788 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
