From ca6fb06518836ef9b65dc0aac02ff97704d52a05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 11:43:35 -0700 Subject: tcp: attach SYNACK messages to request sockets instead of listener 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. Perf profiles now show listener spinlock being next bottleneck. 20.29% [kernel] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath 10.06% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_established 5.12% [kernel] [k] reqsk_timer_handler 3.22% [kernel] [k] get_next_timer_interrupt 3.00% [kernel] [k] tcp_make_synack 2.77% [kernel] [k] ipt_do_table 2.70% [kernel] [k] run_timer_softirq 2.50% [kernel] [k] ip_finish_output 2.04% [kernel] [k] cascade Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
