The conflict hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least.

So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per RFC4821 7.3. Selecting Probe Size, a probe timer should be armed once probing has converged. Once this timer expired, probing again to take advantage of any path PMTU change. The recommended probing interval is 10 minutes per RFC1981. Probing interval could be sysctled by sysctl_tcp_probe_interval. Eric Dumazet suggested to implement pseudo timer based on 32bits jiffies tcp_time_stamp instead of using classic timer for such rare event.

* | tcp: tso: allow CA_CWR state in tcp_tso_should_defer()Eric Dumazet2015-02-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Another TCP issue is triggered by ECN. Under pressure, receiver gets ECN marks, and send back ACK packets with ECE TCP flag. Senders enter CA_CWR state. In this state, tcp_tso_should_defer() is short cut : if (icsk->icsk_ca_state != TCP_CA_Open) goto send_now; This means that about all ACK packets we receive are triggering a partial send, and because cwnd is kept small, we can only send a small amount of data for each incoming ACK, which in return generate more ACK packets. Allowing CA_Open and CA_CWR states to enable TSO defer in tcp_tso_should_defer() brings performance back : TSO autodefer has more chance to defer under pressure. This patch increases TSO and LRO/GRO efficiency back to normal levels, and does not impact overall ECN behavior.

* | tcp: tso: restore IW10 after TSO autosizingEric Dumazet2015-02-281-2/+11

This also applies if autosizing decides to send X MSS per GSO packet, and cwnd is not a multiple of X. This patch implements an heuristic based on age of first skb in write queue : If it was sent very recently (less than half srtt), we can predict that no ACK packet will come in less than half rtt, so deferring might cause an under utilization of our window. This is visible on initial send (IW10) on web servers, but more generally on some RPC, as the last part of the message might need an extra RTT to get delivered.

* | tcp: tso: remove tp->tso_deferredEric Dumazet2015-02-281-9/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TSO relies on ability to defer sending a small amount of packets. Heuristic is to wait for future ACKS in hope to send more packets at once. Current algorithm uses a per socket tso_deferred field as a pseudo timer. This pseudo timer relies on future ACK, but there is no guarantee we receive them in time. Fix would be to use a real timer, but cost of such timer is probably too expensive for typical cases. This patch changes the logic to test the time of last transmit, because we should not add bursts of more than 1ms for any given flow. We've used this patch for about two years at Google, before FQ/pacing as it would reduce a fair amount of bursts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery works separately beside Path MTU Discovery at IP level, different net namespace has various requirements on which one to chose, e.g., a virutalized container instance would require TCP PMTU to probe an usable effective mtu for underlying tunnel, while the host would employ classical ICMP based PMTU to function. Hence making TCP PMTU mechanism per net namespace to decouple two functionality. Furthermore the probe base MSS should also be configured separately for each namespace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | patch is actually smaller than it seems to be - most of it is unindenting the inner loop body in tcp_sendmsg() itself... the bit in tcp_input.c is going to get reverted very soon - that's what memcpy_from_msg() will become, but not in this commit; let's keep it reasonably contained... There's one potentially subtle change here: in case of short copy from userland, mainline tcp_send_syn_data() discards the skb it has allocated and falls back to normal path, where we'll send as much as possible after rereading the same data again. This patch trims SYN+data skb instead - that way we don't need to copy from the same place twice. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* | tcp: do not pace pure ack packetsEric Dumazet2015-02-041-1/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we added pacing to TCP, we decided to let sch_fq take care of actual pacing. All TCP had to do was to compute sk->pacing_rate using simple formula: sk->pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / rtt It works well for senders (bulk flows), but not very well for receivers or even RPC : cwnd on the receiver can be less than 10, rtt can be around 100ms, so we can end up pacing ACK packets, slowing down the sender. Really, only the sender should pace, according to its own logic. Instead of adding a new bit in skb, or call yet another flow dissection, we tweak skb->truesize to a small value (2), and we instruct sch_fq to use new helper and not pace pure ack. Note this also helps TCP small queue, as ack packets present in qdisc/NIC do not prevent sending a data packet (RPC workload) This helps to reduce tx completion overhead, ack packets can use regular sock_wfree() instead of tcp_wfree() which is a bit more expensive. This has no impact in the case packets are sent to loopback interface, as we do not coalesce ack packets (were we would detect skb->truesize lie) In case netem (with a delay) is used, skb_orphan_partial() also sets skb->truesize to 1.

| * tcp: Do not apply TSO segment limit to non-TSO packetsHerbert Xu2015-01-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thomas Jarosch reported IPsec TCP stalls when a PMTU event occurs. In fact the problem was completely unrelated to IPsec. The bug is also reproducible if you just disable TSO/GSO. The problem is that when the MSS goes down, existing queued packet on the TX queue that have not been transmitted yet all look like TSO packets and get treated as such. This then triggers a bug where tcp_mss_split_point tells us to generate a zero-sized packet on the TX queue. Once that happens we're screwed because the zero-sized packet can never be removed by ACKs.

* | net: tcp: add per route congestion controlDaniel Borkmann2015-01-051-0/+21
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This work adds the possibility to define a per route/destination congestion control algorithm. Generally, this opens up the possibility for a machine with different links to enforce specific congestion control algorithms with optimal strategies for each of them based on their network characteristics, even transparently for a single application listening on all links. For our specific use case, this additionally facilitates deployment of DCTCP, for example, applications can easily serve internal traffic/dsts in DCTCP and external one with CUBIC. Other scenarios would also allow for utilizing e.g. long living, low priority background flows for certain destinations/routes while still being able for normal traffic to utilize the default congestion control algorithm. We also thought about a per netns setting (where different defaults are possible), but given its actually a link specific property, we argue that a per route/destination setting is the most natural and flexible. The administrator can utilize this through ip-route(8) by appending "congctl [lock] <name>", where <name> denotes the name of a congestion control algorithm and the optional lock parameter allows to enforce the given algorithm so that applications in user space would not be allowed to overwrite that algorithm for that destination. The dst metric lookups are being done when a dst entry is already available in order to avoid a costly lookup and still before the algorithms are being initialized, thus overhead is very low when the feature is not being used. While the client side would need to drop the current reference on the module, on server side this can actually even be avoided as we just got a flat-copied socket clone.

This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While working on sk_forward_alloc problems reported by Denys Fedoryshchenko, we found that tcp connect() (and fastopen) do not call sk_wmem_schedule() for SYN packet (and/or SYN/DATA packet), so sk_forward_alloc is negative while connect is in progress. We can fix this by calling regular sk_stream_alloc_skb() both for the SYN packet (in tcp_connect()) and the syn_data packet in tcp_send_syn_data() Then, tcp_send_syn_data() can avoid copying syn_data as we simply can manipulate syn_data->cb[] to remove SYN flag (and increment seq) Instead of open coding memcpy_fromiovecend(), simply use this helper.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In DC world, GSO packets initially cooked by tcp_sendmsg() are usually big, as sk_pacing_rate is high. When network is congested, cwnd can be smaller than the GSO packets found in socket write queue. tcp_write_xmit() splits GSO packets using the available cwnd, and we end up sending a single GSO packet, consuming all available cwnd. With GRO aggregation on the receiver, we might handle a single GRO packet, sending back a single ACK. 1) This single ACK might be lost TLP or RTO are forced to attempt a retransmit. 2) This ACK releases a full cwnd, sender sends another big GSO packet, in a ping pong mode. This behavior does not fill the pipes in the best way, because of scheduling artifacts. Make sure we always have at least two GSO packets in flight. This allows us to safely increase GRO efficiency without risking spurious retransmits.

* net: allow setting ecn via routing tableFlorian Westphal2014-11-041-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows to set ECN on a per-route basis in case the sysctl tcp_ecn is not set to 1. In other words, when ECN is set for specific routes, it provides a tcp_ecn=1 behaviour for that route while the rest of the stack acts according to the global settings. One can use 'ip route change dev $dev $net features ecn' to toggle this. Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various reasons, for example, 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc. There was a recent measurement study/paper [2] which scanned the Alexa's publicly available top million websites list from a vantage point in US, Europe and Asia: Half of the Alexa list will now happily use ECN (tcp_ecn=2, most likely blamed to commit 255cac91c3 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN") ;)); the break in connectivity on-path was found is about 1 in 10,000 cases. Timeouts rather than receiving back RSTs were much more common in the negotiation phase (and mostly seen in the Alexa middle band, ranks around 50k-150k): from 12-thousand hosts on which there _may_ be ECN-linked connection failures, only 79 failed with RST when _not_ failing with RST when ECN is not requested. It's unclear though, how much equipment in the wild actually marks CE when buffers start to fill up. We thought about a fallback to non-ECN for retransmitted SYNs as another global option (which could perhaps one day be made default), but as Eric points out, there's much more work needed to detect broken middleboxes. Two examples Eric mentioned are buggy firewalls that accept only a single SYN per flow, and middleboxes that successfully let an ECN flow establish, but later mark CE for all packets (so cwnd converges to 1).

Choice of tasklet was driven by latencies requirements. Then, TCP stack tries to avoid reorders, by locking flows with outstanding packets in qdisc in a given TX queue. What can happen is that many flows get attracted by a low performing TX queue, and cpu servicing TX completion has to feed packets for all of them, making this cpu 100% busy in softirq mode. This became particularly visible with latest skb->xmit_more support Strategy adopted in this patch is to detect when tcp_wfree() is called from ksoftirqd and let the outstanding queue for this flow being drained before feeding additional packets, so that skb->ooo_okay can be set to allow select_queue() to select the optimal queue : Incoming ACKS are normally handled by different cpus, so this patch gives more chance for these cpus to take over the burden of feeding qdisc with future packets.

The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all.

DCTCP is an enhancement to the TCP congestion control algorithm for data center networks. Typical data center workloads are i.e. i) partition/aggregate (queries; bursty, delay sensitive), ii) short messages e.g. 50KB-1MB (for coordination and control state; delay sensitive), and iii) large flows e.g. 1MB-100MB (data update; throughput sensitive). DCTCP has therefore been designed for such environments to provide/achieve the following three requirements: * High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate) * Low latency (short flows, queries) * High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with commodity, shallow buffered switches The basic idea of its design consists of two fundamentals: i) on the switch side, packets are being marked when its internal queue length > threshold K (K is chosen so that a large enough headroom for marked traffic is still available in the switch queue); ii) the sender/host side maintains a moving average of the fraction of marked packets, so each RTT, F is being updated as follows: F := X / Y, where X is # of marked ACKs, Y is total # of ACKs alpha := (1 - g) * alpha + g * F, where g is a smoothing constant The resulting alpha (iow: probability that switch queue is congested) is then being used in order to adaptively decrease the congestion window W: W := (1 - (alpha / 2)) * W The means for receiving marked packets resp. marking them on switch side in DCTCP is the use of ECN. RFC3168 describes a mechanism for using Explicit Congestion Notification from the switch for early detection of congestion, rather than waiting for segment loss to occur. However, this method only detects the presence of congestion, not the *extent*. In the presence of mild congestion, it reduces the TCP congestion window too aggressively and unnecessarily affects the throughput of long flows [4]. DCTCP, as mentioned, enhances Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) processing to estimate the fraction of bytes that encounter congestion, rather than simply detecting that some congestion has occurred. DCTCP then scales the TCP congestion window based on this estimate [4], thus it can derive multibit feedback from the information present in the single-bit sequence of marks in its control law. And thus act in *proportion* to the extent of congestion, not its *presence*. Switches therefore set the Congestion Experienced (CE) codepoint in packets when internal queue lengths exceed threshold K. Resulting, DCTCP delivers the same or better throughput than normal TCP, while using 90% less buffer space. It was found in [2] that DCTCP enables the applications to handle 10x the current background traffic, without impacting foreground traffic. Moreover, a 10x increase in foreground traffic did not cause any timeouts, and thus largely eliminates TCP incast collapse problems. The algorithm itself has already seen deployments in large production data centers since then. We did a long-term stress-test and analysis in a data center, short summary of our TCP incast tests with iperf compared to cubic: This test measured DCTCP throughput and latency and compared it with CUBIC throughput and latency for an incast scenario. In this test, 19 senders sent at maximum rate to a single receiver. The receiver simply ran iperf -s. The senders ran iperf -c <receiver> -t 30. All senders started simultaneously (using local clocks synchronized by ntp). This test was repeated multiple times. Below shows the results from a single test. Other tests are similar. (DCTCP results were extremely consistent, CUBIC results show some variance induced by the TCP timeouts that CUBIC encountered.) For this test, we report statistics on the number of TCP timeouts, flow throughput, and traffic latency. 1) Timeouts (total over all flows, and per flow summaries): CUBIC DCTCP Total 3227 25 Mean 169.842 1.316 Median 183 1 Max 207 5 Min 123 0 Stddev 28.991 1.600 Timeout data is taken by measuring the net change in netstat -s "other TCP timeouts" reported. As a result, the timeout measurements above are not restricted to the test traffic, and we believe that it is likely that all of the "DCTCP timeouts" are actually timeouts for non-test traffic. We report them nevertheless. CUBIC will also include some non-test timeouts, but they are drawfed by bona fide test traffic timeouts for CUBIC. Clearly DCTCP does an excellent job of preventing TCP timeouts. DCTCP reduces timeouts by at least two orders of magnitude and may well have eliminated them in this scenario. 2) Throughput (per flow in Mbps): CUBIC DCTCP Mean 521.684 521.895 Median 464 523 Max 776 527 Min 403 519 Stddev 105.891 2.601 Fairness 0.962 0.999 Throughput data was simply the average throughput for each flow reported by iperf. By avoiding TCP timeouts, DCTCP is able to achieve much better per-flow results. In CUBIC, many flows experience TCP timeouts which makes flow throughput unpredictable and unfair. DCTCP, on the other hand, provides very clean predictable throughput without incurring TCP timeouts. Thus, the standard deviation of CUBIC throughput is dramatically higher than the standard deviation of DCTCP throughput. Mean throughput is nearly identical because even though cubic flows suffer TCP timeouts, other flows will step in and fill the unused bandwidth. Note that this test is something of a best case scenario for incast under CUBIC: it allows other flows to fill in for flows experiencing a timeout. Under situations where the receiver is issuing requests and then waiting for all flows to complete, flows cannot fill in for timed out flows and throughput will drop dramatically. 3) Latency (in ms): CUBIC DCTCP Mean 4.0088 0.04219 Median 4.055 0.0395 Max 4.2 0.085 Min 3.32 0.028 Stddev 0.1666 0.01064 Latency for each protocol was computed by running "ping -i 0.2 <receiver>" from a single sender to the receiver during the incast test. For DCTCP, "ping -Q 0x6 -i 0.2 <receiver>" was used to ensure that traffic traversed the DCTCP queue and was not dropped when the queue size was greater than the marking threshold. The summary statistics above are over all ping metrics measured between the single sender, receiver pair. The latency results for this test show a dramatic difference between CUBIC and DCTCP. CUBIC intentionally overflows the switch buffer which incurs the maximum queue latency (more buffer memory will lead to high latency.) DCTCP, on the other hand, deliberately attempts to keep queue occupancy low. The result is a two orders of magnitude reduction of latency with DCTCP - even with a switch with relatively little RAM. Switches with larger amounts of RAM will incur increasing amounts of latency for CUBIC, but not for DCTCP. 4) Convergence and stability test: This test measured the time that DCTCP took to fairly redistribute bandwidth when a new flow commences. It also measured DCTCP's ability to remain stable at a fair bandwidth distribution. DCTCP is compared with CUBIC for this test. At the commencement of this test, a single flow is sending at maximum rate (near 10 Gbps) to a single receiver. One second after that first flow commences, a new flow from a distinct server begins sending to the same receiver as the first flow. After the second flow has sent data for 10 seconds, the second flow is terminated. The first flow sends for an additional second. Ideally, the bandwidth would be evenly shared as soon as the second flow starts, and recover as soon as it stops. The results of this test are shown below. Note that the flow bandwidth for the two flows was measured near the same time, but not simultaneously. DCTCP performs nearly perfectly within the measurement limitations of this test: bandwidth is quickly distributed fairly between the two flows, remains stable throughout the duration of the test, and recovers quickly. CUBIC, in contrast, is slow to divide the bandwidth fairly, and has trouble remaining stable.

Competing Flows 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 ------------------------------ Mean Connection Probability 1 | 0.67 | 0.45 | 0.28 | 0 Median Connection Probability 1 | 0.65 | 0.45 | 0.25 | 0 As the number of competing flows moves beyond 1, the connection probability drops rapidly. Enabling DCTCP with this patch requires the following steps: DCTCP must be running both on the sender and receiver side in your data center, i.e.: sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=dctcp Also, ECN functionality must be enabled on all switches in your data center for DCTCP to work. The default ECN marking threshold (K) heuristic on the switch for DCTCP is e.g., 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets (~100KB) at 10Gbps (K > 1/7 * C * RTT, [4]). In above tests, for each switch port, traffic was segregated into two queues. For any packet with a DSCP of 0x01 - or equivalently a TOS of 0x04 - the packet was placed into the DCTCP queue. All other packets were placed into the default drop-tail queue. For the DCTCP queue, RED/ECN marking was enabled, here, with a marking threshold of 75 KB. More details however, we refer you to the paper [2] under section 3). There are no code changes required to applications running in user space. DCTCP has been implemented in full *isolation* of the rest of the TCP code as its own congestion control module, so that it can run without a need to expose code to the core of the TCP stack, and thus nothing changes for non-DCTCP users. Changes in the CA framework code are minimal, and DCTCP algorithm operates on mechanisms that are already available in most Silicon. The gain (dctcp_shift_g) is currently a fixed constant (1/16) from the paper, but we leave the option that it can be chosen carefully to a different value by the user. In case DCTCP is being used and ECN support on peer site is off, DCTCP falls back after 3WHS to operate in normal TCP Reno mode. ss {-4,-6} -t -i diag interface: ... dctcp wscale:7,7 rto:203 rtt:2.349/0.026 mss:1448 cwnd:2054 ssthresh:1102 ce_state 0 alpha 15 ab_ecn 0 ab_tot 735584 send 10129.2Mbps pacing_rate 20254.1Mbps unacked:1822 retrans:0/15 reordering:101 rcv_space:29200 ... dctcp-reno wscale:7,7 rto:201 rtt:0.711/1.327 ato:40 mss:1448 cwnd:10 ssthresh:1102 fallback_mode send 162.9Mbps pacing_rate 325.5Mbps rcv_rtt:1.5 rcv_space:29200 More information about DCTCP can be found in [1-4].

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) determines cwnd growth based on ECN information and ACK properties, e.g. ACK that updates window is treated differently than DUPACK. Also DCTCP needs information whether ACK was delayed ACK. Furthermore, DCTCP also implements a CE state machine that keeps track of CE markings of incoming packets. Therefore, extend the congestion control framework to provide these event types, so that DCTCP can be properly implemented as a normal congestion algorithm module outside of the core stack.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a flag to TCP congestion algorithms that allows for requesting to mark IPv4/IPv6 sockets with transport as ECN capable, that is, ECT(0), when required by a congestion algorithm. It is currently used and needed in DataCenter TCP (DCTCP), as it requires both peers to assert ECT on all IP packets sent - it uses ECN feedback (i.e. CE, Congestion Encountered information) from switches inside the data center to derive feedback to the end hosts. Therefore, simply add a new flag to icsk_ca_ops. Note that DCTCP's algorithm/behaviour slightly diverges from RFC3168, therefore this is only (!) enabled iff the assigned congestion control ops module has requested this. By that, we can tightly couple this logic really only to the provided congestion control ops. Joint work with Florian Westphal and Glenn Judd.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in a write or receive queue when doing the various walks. After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done. Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs 3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb) This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in write queue. This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible. This also speeds up all sack processing in general. This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty shinfo. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP maintains lists of skb in write queue, and in receive queues (in order and out of order queues) Scanning these lists both in input and output path usually requires access to skb->next, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq These fields are currently in two different cache lines, meaning we waste lot of memory bandwidth when these queues are big and flows have either packet drops or packet reorders. We can move TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at the end of TCP_SKB_CB, because this header is not used in fast path. This allows TCP to search much faster in the skb lists. Even with regular flows, we save one cache line miss in fast path. Thanks to Christoph Paasch for noticing we need to cleanup skb->cb[] (IPCB/IP6CB) before entering IP stack in tx path, and that I forgot IPCB use in tcp_v4_hnd_req() and tcp_v4_save_options().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The undo code assumes that, upon entering loss recovery, TCP 1) always retransmit something 2) the retransmission never fails locally (e.g., qdisc drop) so undo_marker is set in tcp_enter_recovery() and undo_retrans is incremented only when tcp_retransmit_skb() is successful. When the assumption is broken because TCP's cwnd is too small to retransmit or the retransmit fails locally. The next (DUP)ACK would incorrectly revert the cwnd and the congestion state in tcp_try_undo_dsack() or tcp_may_undo(). Subsequent (DUP)ACKs may enter the recovery state. The sender repeatedly enter and (incorrectly) exit recovery states if the retransmits continue to fail locally while receiving (DUP)ACKs. The fix is to initialize undo_retrans to -1 and start counting on the first retransmission. Always increment undo_retrans even if the retransmissions fail locally because they couldn't cause DSACKs to undo the cwnd reduction.

This is a performance advantage over calculating the skb->hash for every packet on the connection. The computation is done using the common hash algorithm to be consistent with computations done for packets of the connection in other states where thers is no socket (e.g. time-wait, syn-recv, syn-cookies). This patch adds sk_txhash to the sock structure. inet_set_txhash and ip6_set_txhash functions are added which are called from points in TCP and UDP where socket moves to established state. skb_set_hash_from_sk is a function which sets skb->hash from the sock txhash value. This is called in UDP and TCP transmit path when transmitting within the context of a socket. Tested: ran super_netperf with 200 TCP_RR streams over a vxlan interface (in this case skb_get_hash called on every TX packet to create a UDP source port).
