2022-08-24T12:46:57+00:00

While reading sysctl_[rw]mem_(max|default), they can be changed
concurrently.  Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.

====================
io_uring zerocopy send

The patchset implements io_uring zerocopy send. It works with both registered
and normal buffers, mixing is allowed but not recommended. Apart from usual
request completions, just as with MSG_ZEROCOPY, io_uring separately notifies
the userspace when buffers are freed and can be reused (see API design below),
which is delivered into io_uring's Completion Queue. Those "buffer-free"
notifications are not necessarily per request, but the userspace has control
over it and should explicitly attaching a number of requests to a single
notification. The series also adds some internal optimisations when used with
registered buffers like removing page referencing.

From the kernel networking perspective there are two main changes. The first
one is passing ubuf_info into the network layer from io_uring (inside of an
in kernel struct msghdr). This allows extra optimisations, e.g. ubuf_info
caching on the io_uring side, but also helps to avoid cross-referencing
and synchronisation problems. The second part is an optional optimisation
removing page referencing for requests with registered buffers.

Benchmarking UDP with an optimised version of the selftest (see [1]), which
sends a bunch of requests, waits for completions and repeats. "+ flush" column
posts one additional "buffer-free" notification per request, and just "zc"
doesn't post buffer notifications at all.

NIC (requests / second):
IO size | non-zc    | zc             | zc + flush
4000    | 495134    | 606420 (+22%)  | 558971 (+12%)
1500    | 551808    | 577116 (+4.5%) | 565803 (+2.5%)
1000    | 584677    | 592088 (+1.2%) | 560885 (-4%)
600     | 596292    | 598550 (+0.4%) | 555366 (-6.7%)

dummy (requests / second):
IO size | non-zc    | zc             | zc + flush
8000    | 1299916   | 2396600 (+84%) | 2224219 (+71%)
4000    | 1869230   | 2344146 (+25%) | 2170069 (+16%)
1200    | 2071617   | 2361960 (+14%) | 2203052 (+6%)
600     | 2106794   | 2381527 (+13%) | 2195295 (+4%)

Previously it also brought a massive performance speedup compared to the
msg_zerocopy tool (see [3]), which is probably not super interesting. There
is also an additional bunch of refcounting optimisations that was omitted from
the series for simplicity and as they don't change the picture drastically,
they will be sent as follow up, as well as flushing optimisations closing the
performance gap b/w two last columns.

For TCP on localhost (with hacks enabling localhost zerocopy) and including
additional overhead for receive:

IO size | non-zc    | zc
1200    | 4174      | 4148
4096    | 7597      | 11228

Using a real NIC 1200 bytes, zc is worse than non-zc ~5-10%, maybe the
omitted optimisations will somewhat help, should look better for 4000,
but couldn't test properly because of setup problems.

API design overview:

  The series introduces an io_uring concept of notifactors. From the userspace
  perspective it's an entity to which it can bind one or more requests and then
  requesting to flush it. Flushing a notifier makes it impossible to attach new
  requests to it, and instructs the notifier to post a completion once all
  requests attached to it are completed and the kernel doesn't need the buffers
  anymore.

  Notifications are stored in notification slots, which should be registered as
  an array in io_uring. Each slot stores only one notifier at any particular
  moment. Flushing removes it from the slot and the slot automatically replaces
  it with a new notifier. All operations with notifiers are done by specifying
  an index of a slot it's currently in.

  When registering a notification the userspace specifies a u64 tag for each
  slot, which will be copied in notification completion entries as
  cqe::user_data. cqe::res is 0 and cqe::flags is equal to wrap around u32
  sequence number counting notifiers of a slot.

ipv4: avoid partial copy for zc

2022-07-19T02:58:03+00:00

Even when zerocopy transmission is requested and possible,
__ip_append_data() will still copy a small chunk of data just because it
allocated some extra linear space (e.g. 148 bytes). It wastes CPU cycles
on copy and iter manipulations and also misalignes potentially aligned
data. Avoid such copies. And as a bonus we can allocate smaller skb.

net: Find dst with sk's xfrm policy not ctl_sk

2022-07-11T12:39:56+00:00

If we set XFRM security policy by calling setsockopt with option
IPV6_XFRM_POLICY, the policy will be stored in 'sock_policy' in 'sock'
struct. However tcp_v6_send_response doesn't look up dst_entry with the
actual socket but looks up with tcp control socket. This may cause a
problem that a RST packet is sent without ESP encryption & peer's TCP
socket can't receive it.
This patch will make the function look up dest_entry with actual socket,
if the socket has XFRM policy(sock_policy), so that the TCP response
packet via this function can be encrypted, & aligned on the encrypted
TCP socket.

Tested: We encountered this problem when a TCP socket which is encrypted
in ESP transport mode encryption, receives challenge ACK at SYN_SENT
state. After receiving challenge ACK, TCP needs to send RST to
establish the socket at next SYN try. But the RST was not encrypted &
peer TCP socket still remains on ESTABLISHED state.
So we verified this with test step as below.
[Test step]
1. Making a TCP state mismatch between client(IDLE) & server(ESTABLISHED).
2. Client tries a new connection on the same TCP ports(src & dst).
3. Server will return challenge ACK instead of SYN,ACK.
4. Client will send RST to server to clear the SOCKET.
5. Client will retransmit SYN to server on the same TCP ports.
[Expected result]
The TCP connection should be established.

net: helper function skb_len_add

Move the len fields manipulation in the skbs to a helper function.
There is a comment specifically requesting this and there are several
other areas in the code displaying the same pattern which can be
refactored.
This improves code readability.

net: Set skb->mono_delivery_time and clear it after sch_handle_ingress()

2022-03-03T14:38:48+00:00

The previous patches handled the delivery_time before sch_handle_ingress().

This patch can now set the skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp
is used as the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp
and also clear it with skb_clear_delivery_time() after
sch_handle_ingress().  This will make the bpf_redirect_*()
to keep the mono delivery_time and used by a qdisc (fq) of
the egress-ing interface.

A latter patch will postpone the skb_clear_delivery_time() until the
stack learns that the skb is being delivered locally and that will
make other kernel forwarding paths (ip[6]_forward) able to keep
the delivery_time also.  Thus, like the previous patches on using
the skb->mono_delivery_time bit, calling skb_clear_delivery_time()
is not limited within the CONFIG_NET_INGRESS to avoid too many code
churns among this set.

net: Add skb->mono_delivery_time to distinguish mono delivery_time from (rcv) timestamp

2022-03-03T14:38:48+00:00

skb->tstamp was first used as the (rcv) timestamp.
The major usage is to report it to the user (e.g. SO_TIMESTAMP).

Later, skb->tstamp is also set as the (future) delivery_time (e.g. EDT in TCP)
during egress and used by the qdisc (e.g. sch_fq) to make decision on when
the skb can be passed to the dev.

Currently, there is no way to tell skb->tstamp having the (rcv) timestamp
or the delivery_time, so it is always reset to 0 whenever forwarded
between egress and ingress.

While it makes sense to always clear the (rcv) timestamp in skb->tstamp
to avoid confusing sch_fq that expects the delivery_time, it is a
performance issue [0] to clear the delivery_time if the skb finally
egress to a fq@phy-dev.  For example, when forwarding from egress to
ingress and then finally back to egress:

            tcp-sender => veth@netns => veth@hostns => fq@eth0@hostns
                                     ^              ^
                                     reset          rest

This patch adds one bit skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp
is storing the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp.

The current use case is to keep the TCP mono delivery_time (EDT) and
to be used with sch_fq.  A latter patch will also allow tc-bpf@ingress
to read and change the mono delivery_time.

In the future, another bit (e.g. skb->user_delivery_time) can be added
for the SCM_TXTIME where the clock base is tracked by sk->sk_clockid.

[ This patch is a prep work.  The following patches will
  get the other parts of the stack ready first.  Then another patch
  after that will finally set the skb->mono_delivery_time. ]

skb_set_delivery_time() function is added.  It is used by the tcp_output.c
and during ip[6] fragmentation to assign the delivery_time to
the skb->tstamp and also set the skb->mono_delivery_time.

A note on the change in ip_send_unicast_reply() in ip_output.c.
It is only used by TCP to send reset/ack out of a ctl_sk.
Like the new skb_set_delivery_time(), this patch sets
the skb->mono_delivery_time to 0 for now as a place
holder.  It will be enabled in a latter patch.
A similar case in tcp_ipv6 can be done with
skb_set_delivery_time() in tcp_v6_send_response().
