tcp/dccp: do not touch listener sk_refcnt under synflood

2016-04-05T02:11:20+00:00

When a SYNFLOOD targets a non SO_REUSEPORT listener, multiple cpus contend on sk->sk_refcnt and sk->sk_wmem_alloc changes. By letting listeners use SOCK_RCU_FREE infrastructure, we can relax TCP_LISTEN lookup rules and avoid touching sk_refcnt Note that we still use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU rules for other sockets, only listeners are impacted by this change. Peak performance under SYNFLOOD is increased by ~33% : On my test machine, I could process 3.2 Mpps instead of 2.4 Mpps Most consuming functions are now skb_set_owner_w() and sock_wfree() contending on sk->sk_wmem_alloc when cooking SYNACK and freeing them.

soreuseport: fast reuseport TCP socket selection

2016-02-11T08:54:15+00:00

This change extends the fast SO_REUSEPORT socket lookup implemented for UDP to TCP. Listener sockets with SO_REUSEPORT and the same receive address are additionally added to an array for faster random access. This means that only a single socket from the group must be found in the listener list before any socket in the group can be used to receive a packet. Previously, every socket in the group needed to be considered before handing off the incoming packet. This feature also exposes the ability to use a BPF program when selecting a socket from a reuseport group. Signed-off-by: Craig Gallek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: refactor inet[6]_lookup functions to take skb

2016-02-11T08:54:14+00:00

This is a preliminary step to allow fast socket lookup of SO_REUSEPORT groups. Doing so with a BPF filter will require access to the skb in question. This change plumbs the skb (and offset to payload data) through the call stack to the listening socket lookup implementations where it will be used in a following patch.

sock: struct proto hash function may error

2016-02-11T08:54:14+00:00

In order to support fast reuseport lookups in TCP, the hash function defined in struct proto must be capable of returning an error code. This patch changes the function signature of all related hash functions to return an integer and handles or propagates this return value at all call sites.

tcp/dccp: fix hashdance race for passive sessions

2015-10-23T12:42:21+00:00

Multiple cpus can process duplicates of incoming ACK messages matching a SYN_RECV request socket. This is a rare event under normal operations, but definitely can happen. Only one must win the race, otherwise corruption would occur. To fix this without adding new atomic ops, we use logic in inet_ehash_nolisten() to detect the request was present in the same ehash bucket where we try to insert the new child. If request socket was not found, we have to undo the child creation. This actually removes a spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in reqsk_queue_unlink() for the fast path.

tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests into ehash table

2015-10-03T11:32:41+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Ying Cai Cc: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: simplify timewait refcounting

2015-07-09T22:12:20+00:00

timewait sockets have a complex refcounting logic. Once we realize it should be similar to established and syn_recv sockets, we can use sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu() and remove inet_twsk_unhash() In particular, deferred inet_twsk_put() added in commit 13475a30b66cd ("tcp: connect() race with timewait reuse") looks unecessary : When removing a timewait socket from ehash or bhash, caller must own a reference on the socket anyway.

tcp: fix/cleanup inet_ehash_locks_alloc()

2015-05-26T23:48:46+00:00

If tcp ehash table is constrained to a very small number of buckets (eg boot parameter thash_entries=128), then we can crash if spinlock array has more entries. While we are at it, un-inline inet_ehash_locks_alloc() and make following changes : - Budget 2 cache lines per cpu worth of 'spinlocks' - Try to kmalloc() the array to avoid extra TLB pressure. (Most servers at Google allocate 8192 bytes for this hash table) - Get rid of various #ifdef Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
