<content type='text'>
Under high contention dst_entry::__refcnt becomes a significant bottleneck.

atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a cmpxchg() loop, which goes into
high retry rates on contention.

Switch the reference count to rcuref_t which results in a significant
performance gain. Rename the reference count member to __rcuref to reflect
the change.

The gain depends on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent
operations and has been measured in the range of +25% to +130% with a
localhost memtier/memcached benchmark which amplifies the problem
massively.

Running the memtier/memcached benchmark over a real (1Gb) network
connection the conversion on top of the false sharing fix for struct
dst_entry::__refcnt results in a total gain in the 2%-5% range over the
upstream baseline.

Commit e48c414ee61f ("[INET]: Generalise the TCP sock ID lookup routines")
commented out the definition of SOCK_REFCNT_DEBUG in 2005 and later another
commit 463c84b97f24 ("[NET]: Introduce inet_connection_sock") removed it.
Since we could track all of them through bpf and kprobe related tools
and the feature could print loads of information which might not be
that helpful even under a little bit pressure, the whole feature which
has been inactive for many years is no longer supported.

<title>dccp/tcp: Avoid negative sk_forward_alloc by ipv6_pinfo.pktoptions.</title>

Eric Dumazet pointed out [0] that when we call skb_set_owner_r()
for ipv6_pinfo.pktoptions, sk_rmem_schedule() has not been called,
resulting in a negative sk_forward_alloc.

We add a new helper which clones a skb and sets its owner only
when sk_rmem_schedule() succeeds.

Note that we move skb_set_owner_r() forward in (dccp|tcp)_v6_do_rcv()
because tcp_send_synack() can make sk_forward_alloc negative before
ipv6_opt_accepted() in the crossed SYN-ACK or self-connect() cases.

Add sock_init_data_uid() to explicitly initialize the socket uid.
To initialise the socket uid, sock_init_data() assumes a the struct
socket* sock is always embedded in a struct socket_alloc, used to
access the corresponding inode uid. This may not be true.
Examples are sockets created in tun_chr_open() and tap_open().

Now that in-kernel socket users that may recurse during reclaim have benn
converted to sk_use_task_frag = false, we can have sk_page_frag() simply
check that value.

Now that in-kernel socket users that may recurse during reclaim have benn
converted to sk_use_task_frag = false, we can have sk_page_frag() simply
check that value.

<title>net: Introduce sk_use_task_frag in struct sock.</title>

Sockets that can be used while recursing into memory reclaim, like
those used by network block devices and file systems, mustn't use
current-&gt;task_frag: if the current process is already using it, then
the inner memory reclaim call would corrupt the task_frag structure.

To avoid this, sk_page_frag() uses -&gt;sk_allocation to detect sockets
that mustn't use current-&gt;task_frag, assuming that those used during
memory reclaim had their allocation constraints reflected in
-&gt;sk_allocation.

This unfortunately doesn't cover all cases: in an attempt to remove all
usage of GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO, sunrpc stopped setting these flags in
-&gt;sk_allocation, and used memalloc_nofs critical sections instead.
This breaks the sk_page_frag() heuristic since the allocation
constraints are now stored in current-&gt;flags, which sk_page_frag()
can't read without risking triggering a cache miss and slowing down
TCP's fast path.

This patch creates a new field in struct sock, named sk_use_task_frag,
which sockets with memory reclaim constraints can set to false if they
can't safely use current-&gt;task_frag. In such cases, sk_page_frag() now
always returns the socket's page_frag (-&gt;sk_frag). The first user is
sunrpc, which needs to avoid using current-&gt;task_frag but can keep
-&gt;sk_allocation set to GFP_KERNEL otherwise.

Eventually, it might be possible to simplify sk_page_frag() by only
testing -&gt;sk_use_task_frag and avoid relying on the -&gt;sk_allocation
heuristic entirely (assuming other sockets will set -&gt;sk_use_task_frag
according to their constraints in the future).

The new -&gt;sk_use_task_frag field is placed in a hole in struct sock and
belongs to a cache line shared with -&gt;sk_shutdown. Therefore it should
be hot and shouldn't have negative performance impacts on TCP's fast
path (sk_shutdown is tested just before the while() loop in
tcp_sendmsg_locked()).

<title>net_tstamp: add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID_TCP</title>

<id>b534dc46c8ae0165b1b2509be24dbea4fa9c4011</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an option to initialize SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID for TCP from
write_seq sockets instead of snd_una.

This should have been the behavior from the start. Because processes
may now exist that rely on the established behavior, do not change
behavior of the existing option, but add the right behavior with a new
flag. It is encouraged to always set SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID_TCP on
stream sockets along with the existing SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID.

Intuitively the contract is that the counter is zero after the
setsockopt, so that the next write N results in a notification for
the last byte N - 1.

On idle sockets snd_una == write_seq and this holds for both. But on
sockets with data in transmission, snd_una records the unacked offset
in the stream. This depends on the ACK response from the peer. A
process cannot learn this in a race free manner (ioctl SIOCOUTQ is one
racy approach).

write_seq records the offset at the last byte written by the process.
This is a better starting point. It matches the intuitive contract in
all circumstances, unaffected by external behavior.

The new timestamp flag necessitates increasing sk_tsflags to 32 bits.
Move the field in struct sock to avoid growing the socket (for some
common CONFIG variants). The UAPI interface so_timestamping.flags is
already int, so 32 bits wide.
