* ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancingJarek Poplawski2009-06-151-10/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free tnodes before updating their parents. It depends on RCU delaying the real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before parent update they could access freed memory. It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side, but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions. This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list, which is flushed after the update is finished.

* ipv4: update ARPD help textTimo Teräs2009-06-131-22/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Removed the statements about ARP cache size as this config option does not affect it. The cache size is controlled by neigh_table gc thresholds. Remove also expiremental and obsolete markings as the API originally intended for arp caching is useful for implementing ARP-like protocols (e.g. NHRP) in user space and has been there for a long enough time.

* net: use a deferred timer in rt_check_expireEric Dumazet2009-06-131-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the sake of power saver lovers, use a deferrable timer to fire rt_check_expire() As some big routers cache equilibrium depends on garbage collection done in time, we take into account elapsed time between two rt_check_expire() invocations to adjust the amount of slots we have to check.

| * net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each txEric Dumazet2009-06-111-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet. This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces. We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example), where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles. We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing is delayed until all tx packets are completed. As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called. Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc) to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets are in flight. skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc reached 0 to perform the final freeing. Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket. Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL. In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this socket option.

The loop was very much overengineered recently in commit 915219441d566 (tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are skbs after 'skb'. Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that 'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at head. Two things went wrong: - We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging to recover I think). - The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did. Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the previous-like version.

Lukyanov found a regression in 2.6.29 and made a complete analysis found in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13339 Quoted here because its a perfect one : begin_of_quotation 2.6.29 patch has introduced flexible route cache rebuilding. Unfortunately the patch has at least one critical flaw, and another problem. rt_intern_hash calculates rthi pointer, which is later used for new entry insertion. The same loop calculates cand pointer which is used to clean the list. If the pointers are the same, rtable leak occurs, as first the cand is removed then the new entry is appended to it. This leak leads to unregister_netdevice problem (usage count > 0). Another problem of the patch is that it tries to insert the entries in certain order, to facilitate counting of entries distinct by all but QoS parameters. Unfortunately, referencing an existing rtable entry moves it to list beginning, to speed up further lookups, so the carefully built order is destroyed. For the first problem the simplest patch it to set rthi=0 when rthi==cand, but it will also destroy the ordering. end_of_quotation Problematic commit is 1080d709fb9d8cd4392f93476ee46a9d6ea05a5b (net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded) Trying to keep dst_entries ordered is too complex and breaks the fact that order should depend on the frequency of use for garbage collection. A possible fix is to make rt_intern_hash() simpler, and only makes rt_check_expire() a litle bit smarter, being able to cope with an arbitrary entries order. The added loop is running on cache hot data, while cpu is prefetching next object, so should be unnoticied. Reported-and-analyzed-by: Alexander V.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysctls are unregistered with the rntl_lock held making it unsafe to unconditionally grab the the rtnl_lock. Instead we need to call rtnl_trylock and restart the system call if we can not grab it. Otherwise we could deadlock at unregistration time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
