Eric Dumazet 564824b0c5 net: allocate skbs on local node
commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.

skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.

In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.

Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

Jarek Poplawski 64289c8e68 gro: Re-fix different skb headrooms
The patch: "gro: fix different skb headrooms" in its part:
"2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list" is buggy. The copied
skb has p->data set at the ip header at the moment, and skb_gro_offset
is the length of ip + tcp headers. So, after the change the length of
mac header is skipped. Later skb_set_mac_header() sets it into the
NET_SKB_PAD area (if it's long enough) and ip header is misaligned at
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN offset. There is no reason to assume the
original skb was wrongly allocated, so let's copy it as it was.

Koki Sanagi 07dc22e729 skb: Add tracepoints to freeing skb
This patch adds tracepoint to consume_skb and add trace_kfree_skb
before __kfree_skb in skb_free_datagram_locked and net_tx_action.
Combinating with tracepoint on dev_hard_start_xmit, we can check
how long it takes to free transmitted packets. And using it, we can
calculate how many packets driver had at that time. It is useful when
a drop of transmitted packet is a problem.

Eric Dumazet 3d3be4333f gro: fix different skb headrooms
Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given
flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak).
We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom.

1) fix skb_segment()

skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same
than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start
errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev()

2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list

skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to
allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already
provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak.

Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line
needs:
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN

Andrea Shepard 00c5a9834b net: Fix corruption of skb csum field in pskb_expand_head() of net/core/skbuff.c
Make pskb_expand_head() check ip_summed to make sure csum_start is really
csum_start and not csum before adjusting it.

This fixes a bug I encountered using a Sun Quad-Fast Ethernet card and VLANs.
On my configuration, the sunhme driver produces skbs with differing amounts
of headroom on receive depending on the packet size.  See line 2030 of
drivers/net/sunhme.c; packets smaller than RX_COPY_THRESHOLD have 52 bytes
of headroom but packets larger than that cutoff have only 20 bytes.

When these packets reach the VLAN driver, vlan_check_reorder_header()
calls skb_cow(), which, if the packet has less than NET_SKB_PAD (== 32) bytes
of headroom, uses pskb_expand_head() to make more.

Then, pskb_expand_head() needs to adjust a lot of offsets into the skb,
including csum_start.  Since csum_start is a union with csum, if the packet
has a valid csum value this will corrupt it, which was the effect I observed.
The sunhme hardware computes receive checksums, so the skbs would be created
by the driver with ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and a valid csum field, and
then pskb_expand_head() would corrupt the csum field, leading to an "hw csum
error" message later on, for example in icmp_rcv() for pings larger than the
sunhme RX_COPY_THRESHOLD.

On the basis of the comment at the beginning of include/linux/skbuff.h,
I believe that the csum_start skb field is only meaningful if ip_csummed is
CSUM_PARTIAL, so this patch makes pskb_expand_head() adjust it only in that
case to avoid corrupting a valid csum value.

more details if you like:

Eric Dumazet b1faf56664 net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_alloc
Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a
backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket
is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to

Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is
what I implemented in this patch.

Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted.

Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched.

skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but
with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current
user is not rcu protected.

New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb.
(with lockdep check)

skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted.

skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb
is queued and not anymore RCU protected.

Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if
!IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in
sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue().

With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink
simulator :
- 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450  @3.00GHz
- 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port)
- RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0
- rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second)
- SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload)
- tg3 NIC
- 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level.

Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch
first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part.

Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead
of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves.

All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in 
__alloc_skb().

Tom Herbert 0a9627f264 rps: Receive Packet Steering
This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS).  RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.

Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load.  This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.

This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs.   This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel.   For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask.  The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs.  This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.

Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash).  This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.

The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus.  This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>).  If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).

Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization.  Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy.  Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.

   With RPS:    854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)

Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet.  In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets.  It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

Herbert Xu 69c0cab120 gro: Fix illegal merging of trailer trash
When we've merged skb's with page frags, and subsequently receive
a trailer skb (< MSS) that is not completely non-linear (this can
occur on Intel NICs if the packet size falls below the threshold),
GRO ends up producing an illegal GSO skb with a frag_list.

This is harmless unless the skb is then forwarded through an
interface that requires software GSO, whereupon the GSO code
will BUG.

This patch detects this case in GRO and avoids merging the
trailer skb.

Anton Vorontsov e84af6ddef skbuff: Do not allow skb recycling with disabled IRQs
NAPI drivers try to recycle SKBs in their polling routine, but we
generally don't know the context in which the polling will be called,
and the skb recycling itself may require IRQs to be enabled.

This patch adds irqs_disabled() test to the skb_recycle_check()
routine, so that we'll not let the drivers hit the skb recycling
path with IRQs disabled.

As a side effect, this patch actually disables skb recycling for some
[broken] drivers. E.g. gianfar driver grabs an irqsave spinlock during
TX ring processing, and then tries to recycle an skb, and that caused
the following badness:

Stephen Hemminger 603a8bbe62 skbuff: don't corrupt mac_header on skb expansion
The skb mac_header field is sometimes NULL (or ~0u) as a sentinel

Stephen Hemminger 19633e129c skbuff: skb_mac_header_was_set is always true on >32 bit
Looking at the crash in log_martians(), one suspect is that the check for
mac header being set is not correct.  The value of mac_header defaults to
0 on allocation, therefore skb_mac_header_was_set will always be true on
platforms using NET_SKBUFF_USES_OFFSET.

Johannes Berg 8f77f3849c mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 again
In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed
to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce
the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary
overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and
this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption
is used.

Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue
again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also
fixes a problem where frames for that particular station
could be reordered when some were still on the software
queues and older ones are re-injected into the software
queue after them.

With this applied we can strengthen the partial checksum check:

In skb_partial_csum_set we check to see if the checksum offset
is within the packet.  However, we really should check that it
is within the skb head as that's the only bit we can modify
without copying.
