2015-05-22tcp: add tcpi_segs_in and tcpi_segs_out to tcp_infoMarcelo Ricardo Leitner1-1/+3
This patch tracks the total number of inbound and outbound segments on a TCP socket. One may use this number to have an idea on connection quality when compared against the retransmissions. RFC4898 named these : tcpEStatsPerfSegsIn and tcpEStatsPerfSegsOut These are a 32bit field each and can be fetched both from TCP_INFO getsockopt() if one has a handle on a TCP socket, or from inet_diag netlink facility (iproute2/ss patch will follow) Note that tp->segs_out was placed near tp->snd_nxt for good data locality and minimal performance impact, while tp->segs_in was placed near tp->bytes_received for the same reason. Join work with Eric Dumazet. Note that received SYN are accounted on the listener, but sent SYNACK are not accounted.

2015-05-05tcp: provide SYN headers for passive connectionsEric Dumazet1-0/+2
This patch allows a server application to get the TCP SYN headers for its passive connections. This is useful if the server is doing fingerprinting of clients based on SYN packet contents. Two socket options are added: TCP_SAVE_SYN and TCP_SAVED_SYN. The first is used on a socket to enable saving the SYN headers for child connections. This can be set before or after the listen() call. The latter is used to retrieve the SYN headers for passive connections, if the parent listener has enabled TCP_SAVE_SYN. TCP_SAVED_SYN is read once, it frees the saved SYN headers. The data returned in TCP_SAVED_SYN are network (IPv4/IPv6) and TCP headers. Original patch was written by Tom Herbert, I changed it to not hold a full skb (and associated dst and conntracking reference). We have used such patch for about 3 years at Google.

2015-04-30tcp: add TCP_CC_INFO socket optionEric Dumazet1-0/+1
Some Congestion Control modules can provide per flow information, but current way to get this information is to use netlink. Like TCP_INFO, let's add TCP_CC_INFO so that applications can issue a getsockopt() if they have a socket file descriptor, instead of playing complex netlink games. Sample usage would be : union tcp_cc_info info; socklen_t len = sizeof(info); if (getsockopt(fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_CC_INFO, &info, &len) == -1) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-04-30tcp: add tcpi_bytes_received to tcp_infoEric Dumazet1-0/+1
This patch tracks total number of payload bytes received on a TCP socket. This is the sum of all changes done to tp->rcv_nxt RFC4898 named this : tcpEStatsAppHCThruOctetsReceived This is a 64bit field, and can be fetched both from TCP_INFO getsockopt() if one has a handle on a TCP socket, or from inet_diag netlink facility (iproute2/ss patch will follow) Note that tp->bytes_received was placed near tp->rcv_nxt for best data locality and minimal performance impact.

Add two new fields to struct tcp_info, to report sk_pacing_rate and sk_max_pacing_rate to monitoring applications, as ss from iproute2.

2013-07-25tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket optionEric Dumazet1-0/+1
Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches. A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing. lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# perf stat -e context-switches ./netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t omni -l 20 -c -i10,3 OMNI Send TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : +/-2.500% @ 99% conf.

2013-03-17tcp: Remove TCPCTChristoph Paasch1-26/+0
TCPCT uses option-number 253, reserved for experimental use and should not be used in production environments. Further, TCPCT does not fully implement RFC 6013. As a nice side-effect, removing TCPCT increases TCP's performance for very short flows: Doing an apache-benchmark with -c 100 -n 100000, sending HTTP-requests for files of 1KB size. before this patch: average (among 7 runs) of 20845.5 Requests/Second after: average (among 7 runs) of 21403.6 Requests/Second Signed-off-by: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@uclouvain.be> Signed-off-by: David S.
