sctp: avoid refreshing heartbeat timer too often

2016-04-11T02:22:34Z

Currently on high rate SCTP streams the heartbeat timer refresh can consume quite a lot of resources as timer updates are costly and it contains a random factor, which a) is also costly and b) invalidates mod_timer() optimization for not editing a timer to the same value. It may even cause the timer to be slightly advanced, for no good reason. As suggested by David Laight this patch now removes this timer update from hot path by leaving the timer on and re-evaluating upon its expiration if the heartbeat is still needed or not, similarly to what is done for TCP. If it's not needed anymore the timer is re-scheduled to the new timeout, considering the time already elapsed. For this, we now record the last tx timestamp per transport, updated in the same spots as hb timer was restarted on tx. Also split up sctp_transport_reset_timers into sctp_transport_reset_t3_rtx and sctp_transport_reset_hb_timer, so we can re-arm T3 without re-arming the heartbeat one. On loopback with MTU of 65535 and data chunks with 1636, so that we have a considerable amount of chunks without stressing system calls, netperf -t SCTP_STREAM -l 30, perf looked like this before: Samples: 103K of event 'cpu-clock', Event count (approx.): 25833000000 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol + 6,15% netperf [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string - 5,43% netperf [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_write_unlock_irqrestore - _raw_write_unlock_irqrestore - 96,54% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore - 36,14% mod_timer + 97,24% sctp_transport_reset_timers + 2,76% sctp_do_sm + 33,65% __wake_up_sync_key + 28,77% sctp_ulpq_tail_event + 1,40% del_timer - 1,84% mod_timer + 99,03% sctp_transport_reset_timers + 0,97% sctp_do_sm + 1,50% sctp_ulpq_tail_event And after this patch, now with netperf -l 60: Samples: 230K of event 'cpu-clock', Event count (approx.): 57707250000 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol + 5,65% netperf [kernel.vmlinux] [k] memcpy_erms + 5,59% netperf [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string - 5,05% netperf [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore - _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore + 49,89% __wake_up_sync_key + 45,68% sctp_ulpq_tail_event - 2,85% mod_timer + 76,51% sctp_transport_reset_t3_rtx + 23,49% sctp_do_sm + 1,55% del_timer + 2,50% netperf [sctp] [k] sctp_datamsg_from_user + 2,26% netperf [sctp] [k] sctp_sendmsg Throughput-wise, from 6800mbps without the patch to 7050mbps with it, ~3.7%.

sctp: keep fragmentation point aligned to word size

2016-03-20T20:31:12Z

If the user supply a different fragmentation point or if there is a network header that cause it to not be aligned, force it to be aligned. Fragmentation point at a value that is not aligned is not optimal. It causes extra padding to be used and has just no pros. v2: - Make use of the new WORD_TRUNC macro Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: align MTU to a word

2016-03-20T20:31:12Z

SCTP is a protocol that is aligned to a word (4 bytes). Thus using bare MTU can sometimes return values that are not aligned, like for loopback, which is 65536 but ipv4_mtu() limits that to 65535. This mis-alignment will cause the last non-aligned bytes to never be used and can cause issues with congestion control. So it's better to just consider a lower MTU and keep congestion control calcs saner as they are based on PMTU. Same applies to icmp frag needed messages, which is also fixed by this patch. One other effect of this is the inability to send MTU-sized packet without queueing or fragmentation and without hitting Nagle. As the check performed at sctp_packet_can_append_data(): if (chunk->skb->len + q->out_qlen >= transport->pathmtu - packet->overhead) /* Enough data queued to fill a packet */ return SCTP_XMIT_OK; with the above example of MTU, if there are no other messages queued, one cannot send a packet that just fits one packet (65532 bytes) and without causing DATA chunk fragmentation or a delay. v2: - Added WORD_TRUNC macro Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Signed-off-by: David S.

From Tom Herbert. 6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca. 7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface with lots of configured addresses. We were doing things like traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as well. 8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer. 9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for ixgbe, from John Fastabend. 10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis, from Kan Liang. 11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported. From David Decotigny. 12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device level attributes as a whole. From Jiri Pirko. 13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai. 14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".

sctp: allow sctp_transmit_packet and others to use gfp

2016-03-14T02:29:07Z

Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more often than anticipated specially with big MTUs. This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC. In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often.

sctp: fix copying more bytes than expected in sctp_add_bind_addr

2016-03-08T20:04:08Z

Dmitry reported that sctp_add_bind_addr may read more bytes than expected in case the parameter is a IPv4 addr supplied by the user through calls such as sctp_bindx_add(), because it always copies sizeof(union sctp_addr) while the buffer may be just a struct sockaddr_in, which is smaller. This patch then fixes it by limiting the memcpy to the min between the union size and a (new parameter) provided addr size. Where possible this parameter still is the size of that union, except for reading from user-provided buffers, which then it accounts for protocol type.
