2012-10-07net: remove skb recyclingEric Dumazet1-47/+0
Over time, skb recycling infrastructure got litle interest and many bugs. Generic rx path skb allocation is now using page fragments for efficient GRO / TCP coalescing, and recyling a tx skb for rx path is not worth the pain. Last identified bug is that fat skbs can be recycled and it can endup using high order pages after few iterations. With help from Maxime Bizon, who pointed out that commit 87151b8689d (net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom) introduced this regression for recycled skbs. Instead of fixing this bug, lets remove skb recycling. Drivers wanting really hot skbs should use build_skb() anyway, to allocate/populate sk_buff right before netif_receive_skb() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-09-27net: use bigger pages in __netdev_alloc_fragEric Dumazet1-16/+30
We currently use percpu order-0 pages in __netdev_alloc_frag to deliver fragments used by __netdev_alloc_skb() Depending on NIC driver and arch being 32 or 64 bit, it allows a page to be split in several fragments (between 1 and 8), assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096 Switching to bigger pages (32768 bytes for PAGE_SIZE=4096 case) allows : - Better filling of space (the ending hole overhead is less an issue) - Less calls to page allocator or accesses to page->_count - Could allow struct skb_shared_info futures changes without major performance impact. This patch implements a transparent fallback to smaller pages in case of memory pressure. It also uses a standard "struct page_frag" instead of a custom one.

2012-09-24net: use a per task frag allocatorEric Dumazet1-28/+9
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

2012-07-31netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reservesMel Gorman1-25/+99
Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

2012-07-13net: Update alloc frag to reduce get/put page usage and recycle pagesAlexander Duyck1-8/+20
This patch is meant to help improve performance by reducing the number of locked operations required to allocate a frag on x86 and other platforms. This is accomplished by using atomic_set operations on the page count instead of calling get_page and put_page. It is based on work originally provided by Eric Dumazet. In addition it also helps to reduce memory overhead when using TCP. This is done by recycling the page if the only holder of the frame is the netdev_alloc_frag call itself. This can occur when skb heads are stolen by either GRO or TCP and the driver providing the packets is using paged frags to store all of the data for the packets.

2012-06-13splice: fix racy pipe->buffers usesEric Dumazet1-0/+1
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

The fast-path for pskb_expand_head contains a check where the size plus the unaligned size of skb_shared_info is compared against the size of the data buffer. This code path has two issues. First is the fact that after the recent changes by Eric Dumazet to __alloc_skb and build_skb the shared info is always placed in the optimal spot for a buffer size making this check unnecessary. The second issue is the fact that the check doesn't take into account the aligned size of shared info. As a result the code burns cycles doing a memcpy with nothing actually being shifted.

2012-04-30net: allow skb->head to be a page fragmentEric Dumazet1-6/+18
skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non SG capable hardware. Turns out part of the problem comes from pskb_expand_head() not using ksize() to get exact head size given by kmalloc(). Doing the same thing than __alloc_skb() allows more tailroom in skb and can prevent future reallocations. As a bonus, struct skb_shared_info becomes cache line aligned.

As soon as an skb is queued into socket error queue, another thread can consume it, so we are not allowed to reference skb anymore, or risk use after free. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-04-05net: remove k{un}map_skb_frag()Eric Dumazet1-21/+21
Since commit 3e4d3af501 (mm: stack based kmap_atomic()) we dont have to disable BH anymore while mapping skb frags. We can remove kmap_skb_frag() / kunmap_skb_frag() helpers and use kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it.. * tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system: (38 commits) Delete all instances of asm/system.h Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for OpenRISC Split arch_align_stack() out from asm-generic/system.h Split the switch_to() wrapper out of asm-generic/system.h Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h Create asm-generic/barrier.h Make asm-generic/cmpxchg.h #include asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for Xtensa Disintegrate asm/system.h for Unicore32 [based on ver #3, changed by gxt] Disintegrate asm/system.h for Tile Disintegrate asm/system.h for Sparc Disintegrate asm/system.h for SH Disintegrate asm/system.h for Score Disintegrate asm/system.h for S390 Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC Disintegrate asm/system.h for PA-RISC Disintegrate asm/system.h for MN10300 ...

2012-03-25net: add a truesize parameter to skb_add_rx_frag()Eric Dumazet1-2/+2
skb_add_rx_frag() API is misleading. Network skbs built with this helper can use uncharged kernel memory and eventually stress/crash machine in OOM. Add a 'truesize' parameter and then fix drivers in followup patches. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
