tcp: reduce POLLOUT events caused by TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT

2018-12-05T05:21:18+00:00

TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option or sysctl was added in linux-3.12 as a step to enable bigger tcp sndbuf limits. It works reasonably well, but the following happens : Once the limit is reached, TCP stack generates an [E]POLLOUT event for every incoming ACK packet. This causes a high number of context switches. This patch implements the strategy David Miller added in sock_def_write_space() : - If TCP socket has a notsent_lowat constraint of X bytes, allow sendmsg() to fill up to X bytes, but send [E]POLLOUT only if number of notsent bytes is below X/2 This considerably reduces TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT overhead, while allowing to keep the pipe full.

tcp: md5: add tcp_md5_needed jump label

2018-11-30T21:28:03+00:00

Most linux hosts never setup TCP MD5 keys. We can avoid a cache line miss (accessing tp->md5ig_info) on RX and TX using a jump label. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: make tcp_space() aware of socket backlog

2018-11-30T21:26:54+00:00

Jean-Louis Dupond reported poor iscsi TCP receive performance that we tracked to backlog drops. Apparently we fail to send window updates reflecting the fact that we are under stress. Note that we might lack a proper window increase when backlog is fully processed, since __release_sock() clears sk->sk_backlog.len _after_ all skbs have been processed. This should not matter in practice. If we had a significant load through socket backlog, we are in a dangerous situation.

tcp: hint compiler about sack flows

2018-11-30T21:26:53+00:00

Tell the compiler that most TCP flows are using SACK these days. There is no need to add the unlikely() clause in tcp_is_reno(), the compiler is able to infer it. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: clean up STATE_TRACE

2018-11-17T04:28:00+00:00

Currently we can use bpf or tcp tracepoint to conveniently trace the tcp state transition at the run time. So we don't need to do this stuff at the compile time anymore. Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

__tcp_checksum_complete() is 100% same with __skb_checksum_complete() and there is no other caller except tcp_checksum_complete(). So, just use __skb_checksum_complete() there. Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Convert protocol error handlers from void to int

2018-11-09T01:13:08+00:00

We'll need this to handle ICMP errors for tunnels without a sending socket (i.e. FoU and GUE). There, we might have to look up different types of IP tunnels, registered as network protocols, before we get a match, so we want this for the error handlers of IPPROTO_IPIP and IPPROTO_IPV6 in both inet_protos and inet6_protos. These error codes will be used in the next patch. For consistency, return sensible error codes in protocol error handlers whenever handlers can't handle errors because, even if valid, they don't match a protocol or any of its states. This has no effect on existing error handling paths. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio Reviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: add tcp_reset_xmit_timer() helper

2018-10-24T02:42:44+00:00

With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays. This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either : - Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE) - Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms) This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case, or spurious retransmits in other cases. For example, this session gets far more throughput than the requested 80kbit : $ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 540000 262144 262144 104.00 2.66 With the fix : $ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 540000 262144 262144 104.00 0.12 EDT allows for better control of rtx timers, since TCP has a better idea of the earliest departure time of each skb in the rtx queue. We only have to eventually add to the timer the difference of the EDT time with current time. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
