This happens, because sk_clone_lock initializes sk_refcnt to 2, and thus

like xfrm, memcg, cookie_values,... may have been initialized.
We have to free them properly.

This is fixed by forcing a call to tcp_done(), ending up in
inet_csk_destroy_sock, doing the final sock_put(). tcp_done() is necessary,
because it ends up doing all the cleanup on xfrm, memcg, cookie_values,

inet_csk_destroy_sock, inet_num has to be set to 0.
As inet_csk_destroy_sock does a dec on orphan_count, we first have to

Calling tcp_done() allows us to remove the calls to
tcp_clear_xmit_timer() and tcp_cleanup_congestion_control().

A similar approach is taken for dccp by calling dccp_done().

This is in the kernel since 093d282321 (tproxy: fix hash locking issue

10) Update TCP socket hash sizing to be more in line with current day
    realities.  The existing heurstics were choosen a decade ago.
    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Fix races, queue bloat, and excessive wakeups in ATM and
    associated drivers, from Krzysztof Mazur and David Woodhouse.

12) Support DOVE (Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet) extensions
    in VXLAN driver, from David Stevens.

13) Add "oops_only" mode to netconsole, from Amerigo Wang.

14) Support set and query of VEB/VEPA bridge mode via PF_BRIDGE, also
    allow DCB netlink to work on namespaces other than the initial
    namespace.  From John Fastabend.

15) Support PTP in the Tigon3 driver, from Matt Carlson.

16) tun/vhost zero copy fixes and improvements, plus turn it on
    by default, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

17) Support per-association statistics in SCTP, from Michele
    Baldessari.

And many, many, driver updates, cleanups, and improvements.  Too
numerous to mention individually.

pkt_sched: avoid requeues if possible 2012-12-12T05:16:47+00:00 Eric Dumazet edumazet@google.com 2012-12-11T15:54:33+00:00 1abbe1394a84c10919e32242318e715b04d7e33b With BQL being deployed, we can more likely have following behavior : We dequeue a packet from qdisc in dequeue_skb(), then we realize target tx queue is in XOFF state in sch_direct_xmit(), and we have to hold the skb into gso_skb for later. This shows in stats (tc -s qdisc dev eth0) as requeues. Problem of these requeues is that high priority packets can not be dequeued as long as this (possibly low prio and big TSO packet) is not removed from gso_skb. At 1Gbps speed, a full size TSO packet is 500 us of extra latency. In some cases, we know that all packets dequeued from a qdisc are for a particular and known txq : - If device is non multi queue - For all MQ/MQPRIO slave qdiscs This patch introduces a new qdisc flag, TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE to mark this capability, so that dequeue_skb() is allowed to dequeue a packet only if the associated txq is not stopped. This indeed reduce latencies for high prio packets (or improve fairness with sfq/fq_codel), and almost remove qdisc 'requeues'.

With BQL being deployed, we can more likely have following behavior :

We dequeue a packet from qdisc in dequeue_skb(), then we realize target
tx queue is in XOFF state in sch_direct_xmit(), and we have to hold the
skb into gso_skb for later.

This shows in stats (tc -s qdisc dev eth0) as requeues.

Problem of these requeues is that high priority packets can not be
dequeued as long as this (possibly low prio and big TSO packet) is not
removed from gso_skb.

At 1Gbps speed, a full size TSO packet is 500 us of extra latency.

In some cases, we know that all packets dequeued from a qdisc are
for a particular and known txq :

- If device is non multi queue
- For all MQ/MQPRIO slave qdiscs

This patch introduces a new qdisc flag, TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE to mark
this capability, so that dequeue_skb() is allowed to dequeue a packet
only if the associated txq is not stopped.

This indeed reduce latencies for high prio packets (or improve fairness
with sfq/fq_codel), and almost remove qdisc 'requeues'.
