Mel Gorman c76562b670 netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock
This patch series is based on top of "Swap-over-NBD without deadlocking
v15" as it depends on the same reservation of PF_MEMALLOC reserves logic.

When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
with swapon.  In diskless systems this is not an option so if swap if
required then swapping over the network is considered.  The two likely
scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the
form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin
clients.

The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block
Device (NBD) for swap but this is not always an option.  There is no
guarantee that the network attached storage (NAS) device is running Linux
or supports NBD.  However, it is likely that it supports NFS so there are
users that want support for swapping over NFS despite any performance
concern.  Some distributions currently carry patches that support swapping
over NFS but it would be preferable to support it in the mainline kernel.

Patch 1 avoids a stream-specific deadlock that potentially affects TCP.

Patch 2 is a small modification to SELinux to avoid using PFMEMALLOC
	reserves.

Patch 3 adds three helpers for filesystems to handle swap cache pages.
	For example, page_file_mapping() returns page->mapping for
	file-backed pages and the address_space of the underlying
	swap file for swap cache pages.

Patch 4 adds two address_space_operations to allow a filesystem
	to pin all metadata relevant to a swapfile in memory. Upon
	successful activation, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and
	the address space operation ->direct_IO is used for writing
	and ->readpage for reading in swap pages.

Patch 5 notes that patch 3 is bolting
	filesystem-specific-swapfile-support onto the side and that
	the default handlers have different information to what
	is available to the filesystem. This patch refactors the
	code so that there are generic handlers for each of the new
	address_space operations.

Patch 6 adds an API to allow a vector of kernel addresses to be
	translated to struct pages and pinned for IO.

Patch 7 adds support for using highmem pages for swap by kmapping
	the pages before calling the direct_IO handler.

Patch 8 updates NFS to use the helpers from patch 3 where necessary.

Patch 9 avoids setting PF_private on PG_swapcache pages within NFS.

Patch 10 implements the new swapfile-related address_space operations
	for NFS and teaches the direct IO handler how to manage
	kernel addresses.

Patch 11 prevents page allocator recursions in NFS by using GFP_NOIO
	where appropriate.

Patch 12 fixes a NULL pointer dereference that occurs when using
	swap-over-NFS.

With the patches applied, it is possible to mount a swapfile that is on an
NFS filesystem.  Swap performance is not great with a swap stress test
taking roughly twice as long to complete than if the swap device was
backed by NBD.

This patch: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock

It could happen that all !SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets have buffered so much data
that we're over the global rmem limit.  This will prevent SOCK_MEMALLOC
buffers from receiving data, which will prevent userspace from running,
which is needed to reduce the buffered data.

Fix this by exempting the SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets from the rmem limit.  Once
this change it applied, it is important that sockets that set
SOCK_MEMALLOC do not clear the flag until the socket is being torn down.
If this happens, a warning is generated and the tokens reclaimed to avoid
accounting errors until the bug is fixed.

David S. Miller caacf05e5a ipv4: Properly purge netdev references on uncached routes.
When a device is unregistered, we have to purge all of the
references to it that may exist in the entire system.

If a route is uncached, we currently have no way of accomplishing
this.

So create a global list that is scanned when a network device goes
down.  This mirrors the logic in net/core/dst.c's dst_ifdown().

Eric Dumazet 54764bb647 ipv4: Restore old dst_free() behavior.
commit 404e0a8b6a (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried
to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time :

We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets
still have dst in their cache.
dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.

Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.

Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)

I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes
to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in
this code.

Eric Dumazet 404e0a8b6a net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts
commit c6cffba4ff (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.)
added various fatal races with dst refcounts.

crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same
time.

The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy.

We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make
sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods :

Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period
before dst destruction for cached dst

Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero()
to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently
waiting an rcu grace period before destruction)

rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and
release it if was not able to install it.

With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks.

Jiri Kosina 59ea33a68a tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it
Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.

The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.

This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
recvmsg() is used.

If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
misses the check in the dmaengine case.

This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.

This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of
cached RX dst in inet sock.

rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can
legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively.

When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will
be set to zero.

This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4
specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for
ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6
input paths yet.

Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have
obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check
callback.

Eric Dumazet 563d34d057 tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications
ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than
mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit)

One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling
icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu));

We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e (ipv6: disable GSO on
sockets hitting dst_allfrag).

Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp
sessions paid a too big latency increase price.

This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU
reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay
is added in TCP transmits.

David S. Miller 5e9965c15b Merge branch 'kill_rtcache'
The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is
subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks.

The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world
was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing
cache's design were considered.

What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is
a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a
product of the contents of the routing tables.  The former of which is
controllable by external entitites.

Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see
hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10.

The general flow of this patch series is that first the routing cache
is removed.  We build a completely new rtable entry every lookup
request.

Next we make some simplifications due to the fact that removing the
routing cache causes several members of struct rtable to become no
longer necessary.

Then we need to make some amends such that we can legally cache
pre-constructed routes in the FIB nexthops.  Firstly, we need to
invalidate routes which are hit with nexthop exceptions.  Secondly we
have to change the semantics of rt->rt_gateway such that zero means
that the destination is on-link and non-zero otherwise.

Now that the preparations are ready, we start caching precomputed
routes in the FIB nexthops.  Output and input routes need different
kinds of care when determining if we can legally do such caching or
not.  The details are in the commit log messages for those changes.

The patch series then winds down with some more struct rtable
simplifications and other tidy ups that remove unnecessary overhead.

On a SPARC-T3 output route lookups are ~876 cycles.  Input route
lookups are ~1169 cycles with rpfilter disabled, and about ~1468
cycles with rpfilter enabled.

These measurements were taken with the kbench_mod test module in the
net_test_tools GIT tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net_test_tools.git

That GIT tree also includes a udpflood tester tool and stresses
route lookups on packet output.

For example, on the same SPARC-T3 system we can run:

	time ./udpflood -l 10000000 10.2.2.11

with routing cache:
real    1m21.955s       user    0m6.530s        sys     1m15.390s

without routing cache:
real    1m31.678s       user    0m6.520s        sys     1m25.140s

Performance undoubtedly can easily be improved further.

For example fib_table_lookup() performs a lot of excessive
computations with all the masking and shifting, some of it
conditionalized to deal with edge cases.

Also, Eric's no-ref optimization for input route lookups can be
re-instated for the FIB nexthop caching code path.  I would be really
pleased if someone would work on that.

In fact anyone suitable motivated can just fire up perf on the loading
of the test net_test_tools benchmark kernel module.  I spend much of
my time going:

bash# perf record insmod ./kbench_mod.ko dst=172.30.42.22 src=74.128.0.1 iif=2
bash# perf report

David S. Miller 2860583fe8 ipv4: Kill rt->fi
It's not really needed.

We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info
local metrics.

However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their
private metrics (if any).

We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a
reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables.

Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that
they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these
metric values would occur.

That is this value's only use, as a boolean to indicate whether
a route is an input route or not.

So implement it that way, using a u16 gap present in the struct
already.

Never actually used.

It was being set on output routes to the original OIF specified in the
flow key used for the lookup.

Adjust the only user, ipmr_rt_fib_lookup(), for greater correctness of
the flowi4_oif and flowi4_iif values, thanks to feedback from Julian
Anastasov.

David S. Miller d2d68ba9fe ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.
Caching input routes is slightly simpler than output routes, since we
don't need to be concerned with nexthop exceptions.  (locally
destined, and routed packets, never trigger PMTU events or redirects
that will be processed by us).

However, we have to elide caching for the DIRECTSRC and non-zero itag
cases.

David S. Miller f2bb4bedf3 ipv4: Cache output routes in fib_info nexthops.
If we have an output route that lacks nexthop exceptions, we can cache
it in the FIB info nexthop.

Such routes will have DST_HOST cleared because such routes refer to a
family of destinations, rather than just one.

The sequence of the handling of exceptions during route lookup is
adjusted to make the logic work properly.

Before we allocate the route, we lookup the exception.

Then we know if we will cache this route or not, and therefore whether
DST_HOST should be set on the allocated route.

Then we use DST_HOST to key off whether we should store the resulting
route, during rt_set_nexthop(), in the FIB nexthop cache.

With help from Eric Dumazet.

David S. Miller f8126f1d51 ipv4: Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway.
In order to allow prefixed routes, we have to adjust how rt_gateway
is set and interpreted.

The new interpretation is:

1) rt_gateway == 0, destination is on-link, nexthop is iph->daddr

2) rt_gateway != 0, destination requires a nexthop gateway

Abstract the fetching of the proper nexthop value using a new
inline helper, rt_nexthop(), as suggested by Joe Perches.

David S. Miller 89aef8921b ipv4: Delete routing cache.
The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is
subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks.

The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world
was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing
cache's design were considered.

What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is
a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a
product of the contents of the routing tables.  The former of which is
controllable by external entitites.

Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see
hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10.

Eric Dumazet 6f458dfb40 tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events
Modern TCP stack highly depends on tcp_write_timer() having a small
latency, but current implementation doesn't exactly meet the
expectations.

When a timer fires but finds the socket is owned by the user, it rearms
itself for an additional delay hoping next run will be more
successful.

tcp_write_timer() for example uses a 50ms delay for next try, and it
defeats many attempts to get predictable TCP behavior in term of
latencies.

Use the recently introduced tcp_release_cb(), so that the user owning
the socket will call various handlers right before socket release.

This will permit us to post a followup patch to address the
tcp_tso_should_defer() syndrome (some deferred packets have to wait
RTO timer to be transmitted, while cwnd should allow us to send them
sooner)
