rxrpc: Fix loss of RTT samples due to interposed ACK

2020-09-09T17:14:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4700c4d80b7bb171f6996016ef121e1508860b42 ] The Rx protocol has a mechanism to help generate RTT samples that works by a client transmitting a REQUESTED-type ACK when it receives a DATA packet that has the REQUEST_ACK flag set. The peer, however, may interpose other ACKs before transmitting the REQUESTED-ACK, as can be seen in the following trace excerpt: rxrpc_tx_data: c=00000044 DATA d0b5ece8:00000001 00000001 q=00000001 fl=07 rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000001 PNG r=00000000 f=00000002 p=00000000 n=0 rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000002 REQ r=00000001 f=00000002 p=00000001 n=0 ... DATA packet 1 (q=xx) has REQUEST_ACK set (bit 1 of fl=xx). The incoming ping (labelled PNG) hard-acks the request DATA packet (f=xx exceeds the sequence number of the DATA packet), causing it to be discarded from the Tx ring. The ACK that was requested (labelled REQ, r=xx references the serial of the DATA packet) comes after the ping, but the sk_buff holding the timestamp has gone and the RTT sample is lost. This is particularly noticeable on RPC calls used to probe the service offered by the peer. A lot of peers end up with an unknown RTT because we only ever sent a single RPC. This confuses the server rotation algorithm. Fix this by caching the information about the outgoing packet in RTT calculations in the rxrpc_call struct rather than looking in the Tx ring. A four-deep buffer is maintained and both REQUEST_ACK-flagged DATA and PING-ACK transmissions are recorded in there. When the appropriate response ACK is received, the buffer is checked for a match and, if found, an RTT sample is recorded. If a received ACK refers to a packet with a later serial number than an entry in the cache, that entry is presumed lost and the entry is made available to record a new transmission. ACKs types other than REQUESTED-type and PING-type cause any matching sample to be cancelled as they don't necessarily represent a useful measurement. If there's no space in the buffer on ping/data transmission, the sample base is discarded.

writeback: Fix sync livelock due to b_dirty_time processing

2020-09-03T09:29:42+00:00

commit f9cae926f35e8230330f28c7b743ad088611a8de upstream. When we are processing writeback for sync(2), move_expired_inodes() didn't set any inode expiry value (older_than_this). This can result in writeback never completing if there's steady stream of inodes added to b_dirty_time list as writeback rechecks dirty lists after each writeback round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code noticeably as a bonus.

ext4: limit the length of per-inode prealloc list

2020-09-03T09:29:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 27bc446e2def38db3244a6eb4bb1d6312936610a ] In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated(). To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it. After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows: Running time on unfixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m2.051s user 0m0.008s sys 0m2.026s Running time on fixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m0.471s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.395s Signed-off-by: Chunguang Xu Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d7a98178-056b-6db5-6bce-4ead23f4a257@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
