tcp: new TCP_INFO stats for RTO events

2024-10-17T13:24:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3868ab0f192581eff978501a05f3dc2e01541d77 ] The 2023 SIGCOMM paper "Improving Network Availability with Protective ReRoute" has indicated Linux TCP's RTO-triggered txhash rehashing can effectively reduce application disruption during outages. To better measure the efficacy of this feature, this patch adds three more detailed stats during RTO recovery and exports via TCP_INFO. Applications and monitoring systems can leverage this data to measure the network path diversity and end-to-end repair latency during network outages to improve their network infrastructure. The following counters are added to tcp_sock in order to track RTO events over the lifetime of a TCP socket. 1. u16 total_rto - Counts the total number of RTO timeouts. 2. u16 total_rto_recoveries - Counts the total number of RTO recoveries. 3. u32 total_rto_time - Counts the total time spent (ms) in RTO recoveries. (time spent in CA_Loss and CA_Recovery states) To compute total_rto_time, we add a new u32 rto_stamp field to tcp_sock. rto_stamp records the start timestamp (ms) of the last RTO recovery (CA_Loss). Corresponding fields are also added to the tcp_info struct. Signed-off-by: Aananth V Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: add rcv_wnd and plb_rehash to TCP_INFO

2022-10-28T09:47:42+00:00

rcv_wnd can be useful to diagnose TCP performance where receiver window becomes the bottleneck. rehash reports the PLB and timeout triggered rehash attempts by the TCP connection.

tcp: add u32 counter in tcp_sock and an SNMP counter for PLB

2022-10-28T09:47:42+00:00

A u32 counter is added to tcp_sock for counting the number of PLB triggered rehashes for a TCP connection. An SNMP counter is also added to count overall PLB triggered rehash events for a host. These counters are hooked up to PLB implementation for DCTCP. TCP_NLA_REHASH is added to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS that reports the rehash attempts triggered due to PLB or timeouts. This gives a historical view of sustained congestion or timeouts experienced by the TCP connection.

tcp: Sanitize CMSG flags and reserved args in tcp_zerocopy_receive.

2021-02-12T02:25:05+00:00

Explicitly define reserved field and require it and any subsequent fields to be zero-valued for now. Additionally, limit the valid CMSG flags that tcp_zerocopy_receive accepts.

tcp: Add receive timestamp support for receive zerocopy.

2021-01-23T04:05:56+00:00

tcp_recvmsg() uses the CMSG mechanism to receive control information like packet receive timestamps. This patch adds CMSG fields to struct tcp_zerocopy_receive, and provides receive timestamps if available to the user. Signed-off-by: Arjun Roy Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

tcp: add TTL to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS

2021-01-23T02:20:52+00:00

This patch adds TCP_NLA_TTL to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS that exports the time-to-live or hop limit of the latest incoming packet with SCM_TSTAMP_ACK. The value exported may not be from the packet that acks the sequence when incoming packets are aggregated. Exporting the time-to-live or hop limit value of incoming packets helps to estimate the hop count of the path of the flow that may change over time.

net-zerocopy: Defer vm zap unless actually needed.

2020-12-04T21:40:53+00:00

Zapping pages is required only if we are calling vm_insert_page into a region where pages had previously been mapped. Receive zerocopy allows reusing such regions, and hitherto called zap_page_range() before calling vm_insert_page() in that range. zap_page_range() can also be triggered from userspace with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). If userspace is configured to call this before reusing a segment, or if there was nothing mapped at this virtual address to begin with, we can avoid calling zap_page_range() under the socket lock. That said, if userspace does not do that, then we are still responsible for calling zap_page_range(). This patch adds a flag that the user can use to hint to the kernel that a zap is not required. If the flag is not set, or if an older user application does not have a flags field at all, then the kernel calls zap_page_range as before. Also, if the flag is set but a zap is still required, the kernel performs that zap as necessary. Thus incorrectly indicating that a zap can be avoided does not change the correctness of operation. It also increases the batchsize for vm_insert_pages and prefetches the page struct for the batch since we're about to bump the refcount. An alternative mechanism could be to not have a flag, assume by default a zap is not needed, and fall back to zapping if needed. However, this would harm performance for older applications for which a zap is necessary, and thus we implement it with an explicit flag so newer applications can opt in. When using RPC-style traffic with medium sized (tens of KB) RPCs, this change yields an efficency improvement of about 30% for QPS/CPU usage.

net-zerocopy: Copy straggler unaligned data for TCP Rx. zerocopy.

2020-12-04T21:40:52+00:00

When TCP receive zerocopy does not successfully map the entire requested space, it outputs a 'hint' that the caller should recvmsg(). Augment zerocopy to accept a user buffer that it tries to copy this hint into - if it is possible to copy the entire hint, it will do so. This elides a recvmsg() call for received traffic that isn't exactly page-aligned in size. This was tested with RPC-style traffic of arbitrary sizes. Normally, each received message required at least one getsockopt() call, and one recvmsg() call for the remaining unaligned data. With this change, almost all of the recvmsg() calls are eliminated, leading to a savings of about 25%-50% in number of system calls for RPC-style workloads.

tcp: add earliest departure time to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS

2020-08-01T00:00:44+00:00

This change adds TCP_NLA_EDT to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS that reports the earliest departure time(EDT) of the timestamped skb. By tracking EDT values of the skb from different timestamps, we can observe when and how much the value changed. This allows to measure the precise delay injected on the sender host e.g. by a bpf-base throttler.
