* filter: optimize accesses to ancillary dataEric Dumazet2010-12-211-28/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can translate pseudo load instructions at filter check time to dedicated instructions to speed up filtering and avoid one switch(). libpcap currently uses SKF_AD_PROTOCOL, but custom filters probably use other ancillary accesses. Note : I made the assertion that ancillary data was always accessed with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_ABS instructions, not with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_IND ones (offset given by K constant, not by K + X register) On x86_64, this saves a few bytes of text : # size net/core/filter.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 4864 0 0 4864 1300 net/core/filter.o.new 4944 0 0 4944 1350 net/core/filter.o.old Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nitEric Dumazet2010-12-211-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Le vendredi 17 décembre 2010 à 10:26 +0100, Eric Dumazet a écrit : > > I think we can add this after latest Changli patch : > > He does one skb_clone() before calling the sniffers. > We could set timestamp on this clone, instead of original skb. > > Problem solved. > [PATCH net-next-2.6] net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit Now we do one clone of skb if at least one sniffer might take packet, we also can do the skb timestamping on the clone and let original packet unchanged. This is a generalization of commit 8caf153974f2 (net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.) This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives timestamps right before ingressing. This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

* TCP: increase default initial receive window.Nandita Dukkipati2010-12-201-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss (defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460). draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB. Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small buffers. These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10. However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss. Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is to fix this shortcoming. References: 1.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first big packets sent to a "low-MTU" client correctly triggers the creation of a temporary route containing the reduced MTU. But after the temporary route has expired, new ICMP6 "packet too big" will be sent, rt6_pmtu_discovery will find the previous EXPIRED route check that its mtu isn't bigger then in icmp packet and do nothing before the temporary route will not deleted by gc. I make the simple experiment: while :; do time ( dd if=/dev/zero bs=10K count=1 | ssh hostname dd of=/dev/null ) || break; done The "time" reports real 0m0.197s if a temporary route isn't expired, but it reports real 0m52.837s (!!!!) immediately after a temporare route has expired.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On suspend, there might be usb wireless drivers which wrongly trigger the warning in ieee80211_work_work. If an usb driver doesn't have a suspend hook, the usb stack will disconnect the device. On disconnect, a mac80211 driver calls ieee80211_unregister_hw, which calls dev_close, which calls ieee80211_stop, and in the end calls ieee80211_work_purge-> ieee80211_work_work. The problem is that this call to ieee80211_work_purge comes after mac80211 is suspended, triggering the warning even when we don't have work queued in work_list (the expected case when already suspended), because it always calls ieee80211_work_work. So, just call ieee80211_work_work in ieee80211_work_purge if we really have to abort work.

To avoid copying the skb unnecessarily move the skb_copy call below the checks that don't need write access to the skb. Also, move the assignment of nh_pos and h_pos below the skb_copy to point to the correct skb. It would be possible to avoid another resize of the copied skb by using skb_copy_expand instead of skb_copy but that would make the patch more complex. Also, shared skbs are a corner case right now, so the resize shouldn't matter much.
