fdb dumps spanning multiple skb's currently restart from the first
interface again for every skb. This results in unnecessary
iterations on the already visited interfaces and their fdb
entries. In large scale setups, we have seen this to slow
down fdb dumps considerably. On a system with 30k macs we
see fdb dumps spanning across more than 300 skbs.
To fix the problem, this patch replaces the existing single fdb
marker with three markers: netdev hash entries, netdevs and fdb
index to continue where we left off instead of restarting from the
first netdev. This is consistent with link dumps.
In the process of fixing the performance issue, this patch also
re-implements fix done by
commit 472681d57a ("net: ndo_fdb_dump should report -EMSGSIZE to rtnl_fdb_dump")
(with an internal fix from Wilson Kok) in the following ways:
- change ndo_fdb_dump handlers to return error code instead
of the last fdb index
- use cb->args strictly for dump frag markers and not error codes.
This is consistent with other dump functions.
Below results were taken on a system with 1000 netdevs
and 35085 fdb entries:
before patch:
$time bridge fdb show | wc -l
15065
real 1m11.791s
user 0m0.070s
sys 1m8.395s
(existing code does not return all macs)

Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users, such as the AFS filesystem, but
instead provide a notification hook the indicates that a call needs
attention and another that indicates that there's a new call to be
collected.
This makes the following possibilities more achievable:
(1) Call refcounting can be made simpler if skbs don't hold refs to calls.
(2) skbs referring to non-data events will be able to be freed much sooner
rather than being queued for AFS to pick up as rxrpc_kernel_recv_data
will be able to consult the call state.
(3) We can shortcut the receive phase when a call is remotely aborted
because we don't have to go through all the packets to get to the one
cancelling the operation.
(4) It makes it easier to do encryption/decryption directly between AFS's
buffers and sk_buffs.
(5) Encryption/decryption can more easily be done in the AFS's thread
contexts - usually that of the userspace process that issued a syscall
- rather than in one of rxrpc's background threads on a workqueue.
(6) AFS will be able to wait synchronously on a call inside AF_RXRPC.
To make this work, the following interface function has been added:
int rxrpc_kernel_recv_data(
struct socket *sock, struct rxrpc_call *call,
void *buffer, size_t bufsize, size_t *_offset,
bool want_more, u32 *_abort_code);
This is the recvmsg equivalent. It allows the caller to find out about the
state of a specific call and to transfer received data into a buffer
piecemeal.
afs_extract_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() now do all the extraction
logic between them. They don't wait synchronously yet because the socket
lock needs to be dealt with.
Five interface functions have been removed:
rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last()
rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code()
rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number()
rxrpc_kernel_free_skb()
rxrpc_kernel_data_consumed()
As a temporary hack, sk_buffs going to an in-kernel call are queued on the
rxrpc_call struct (->knlrecv_queue) rather than being handed over to the
in-kernel user. To process the queue internally, a temporary function,
temp_deliver_data() has been added. This will be replaced with common code
between the rxrpc_recvmsg() path and the kernel_rxrpc_recv_data() path in a
future patch.

As reported by Lennert the MPLS GSO code is failing to properly segment
large packets. There are a couple of problems:
1. the inner protocol is not set so the gso segment functions for inner
protocol layers are not getting run, and
2 MPLS labels for packets that use the "native" (non-OVS) MPLS code
are not properly accounted for in mpls_gso_segment.
The MPLS GSO code was added for OVS. It is re-using skb_mac_gso_segment
to call the gso segment functions for the higher layer protocols. That
means skb_mac_gso_segment is called twice -- once with the network
protocol set to MPLS and again with the network protocol set to the
inner protocol.
This patch sets the inner skb protocol addressing item 1 above and sets
the network_header and inner_network_header to mark where the MPLS labels
start and end. The MPLS code in OVS is also updated to set the two
network markers.
>From there the MPLS GSO code uses the difference between the network
header and the inner network header to know the size of the MPLS header
that was pushed. It then pulls the MPLS header, resets the mac_len and
protocol for the inner protocol and then calls skb_mac_gso_segment
to segment the skb.
Afterward the inner protocol segmentation is done the skb protocol
is set to mpls for each segment and the network and mac headers
restored.

Today mpls iptunnel lwtunnel_output redirect expects the tunnel
output function to handle fragmentation. This is ok but can be
avoided if we did not do the mpls output redirect too early.
ie we could wait until ip fragmentation is done and then call
mpls output for each ip fragment.
To make this work we will need,
1) the lwtunnel state to carry encap headroom
2) and do the redirect to the encap output handler on the ip fragment
(essentially do the output redirect after fragmentation)
This patch adds tunnel headroom in lwtstate to make sure we
account for tunnel data in mtu calculations during fragmentation
and adds new xmit redirect handler to redirect to lwtunnel xmit func
after ip fragmentation.

When TCP operates in lossy environments (between 1 and 10 % packet
losses), many SACK blocks can be exchanged, and I noticed we could
drop them on busy senders, if these SACK blocks have to be queued
into the socket backlog.
While the main cause is the poor performance of RACK/SACK processing,
we can try to avoid these drops of valuable information that can lead to
spurious timeouts and retransmits.
Cause of the drops is the skb->truesize overestimation caused by :
- drivers allocating ~2048 (or more) bytes as a fragment to hold an
Ethernet frame.
- various pskb_may_pull() calls bringing the headers into skb->head
might have pulled all the frame content, but skb->truesize could
not be lowered, as the stack has no idea of each fragment truesize.
The backlog drops are also more visible on bidirectional flows, since
their sk_rmem_alloc can be quite big.
Let's add some room for the backlog, as only the socket owner
can selectively take action to lower memory needs, like collapsing
receive queues or partial ofo pruning.

switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of
port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be
flooded twice.
It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first
bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents
packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood
packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch.
This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account,
such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper
devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two
different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which
is impossible.
The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the
physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports,
which are not necessarily port netdevs.
Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge
driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already
forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark
assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from
being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e.
having the same parent ID).
Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and
instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the
sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

Currently in process_backlog(), the process_queue dequeuing is
performed with local IRQ disabled, to protect against
flush_backlog(), which runs in hard IRQ context.
This patch moves the flush operation to a work queue and runs the
callback with bottom half disabled to protect the process_queue
against dequeuing.
Since process_queue is now always manipulated in bottom half context,
the irq disable/enable pair around the dequeue operation are removed.
To keep the flush time as low as possible, the flush
works are scheduled on all online cpu simultaneously, using the
high priority work-queue and statically allocated, per cpu,
work structs.
Overall this change increases the time required to destroy a device
to improve slightly the packets reinjection performances.

rxrpc: Add better client conn management strategy
These two patches add a better client connection management strategy. They
need to be applied on top of the just-posted fixes.
(1) Duplicate the connection list and separate out procfs iteration from
garbage collection. This is necessary for the next patch as with that
client connections no longer appear on a single list and may not
appear on a list at all - and really don't want to be exposed to the
old garbage collector.
(Note that client conns aren't left dangling, they're also in a tree
rooted in the local endpoint so that they can be found by a user
wanting to make a new client call. Service conns do not appear in
this tree.)
(2) Implement a better lifetime management and garbage collection strategy
for client connections.
In this, a client connection can be in one of five cache states
(inactive, waiting, active, culled and idle). Limits are set on the
number of client conns that may be active at any one time and makes
users wait if they want to start a new call when there isn't capacity
available.
To make capacity available, active and idle connections can be culled,
after a short delay (to allow for retransmission). The delay is
reduced if the capacity exceeds a tunable threshold.
If there is spare capacity, client conns are permitted to hang around
a fair bit longer (tunable) so as to allow reuse of negotiated
security contexts.
After this patch, the client conn strategy is separate from that of
service conns (which continues to use the old code for the moment).
This difference in strategy is because the client side retains control
over when it allows a connection to become active, whereas the service
side has no control over when it sees a new connection or a new call
on an old connection.
