inetpeer: restore small inet_peer structures

2010-06-16T18:55:39+00:00

Addition of rcu_head to struct inet_peer added 16bytes on 64bit arches.

Thats a bit unfortunate, since old size was exactly 64 bytes.

This can be solved, using an union between this rcu_head an four fields,
that are normally used only when a refcount is taken on inet_peer.
rcu_head is used only when refcnt=-1, right before structure freeing.

Add a inet_peer_refcheck() function to check this assertion for a while.

We can bring back SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN qualifier in kmem cache creation.

inetpeer: do not use zero refcnt for freed entries

2010-06-16T04:47:39+00:00

Followup of commit aa1039e73cc2 (inetpeer: RCU conversion)

Unused inet_peer entries have a null refcnt.

Using atomic_inc_not_zero() in rcu lookups is not going to work for
them, and slow path is taken.

Fix this using -1 marker instead of 0 for deleted entries.

inetpeer: RCU conversion

2010-06-15T21:23:38+00:00

inetpeer currently uses an AVL tree protected by an rwlock.

It's possible to make most lookups use RCU

1) Add a struct rcu_head to struct inet_peer

2) add a lookup_rcu_bh() helper to perform lockless and opportunistic
lookup. This is a normal function, not a macro like lookup().

3) Add a limit to number of links followed by lookup_rcu_bh(). This is
needed in case we fall in a loop.

4) add an smp_wmb() in link_to_pool() right before node insert.

5) make unlink_from_pool() use atomic_cmpxchg() to make sure it can take
last reference to an inet_peer, since lockless readers could increase
refcount, even while we hold peers.lock.

6) Delay struct inet_peer freeing after rcu grace period so that
lookup_rcu_bh() cannot crash.

7) inet_getpeer() first attempts lockless lookup.
   Note this lookup can fail even if target is in AVL tree, but a
concurrent writer can let tree in a non correct form.
   If this attemps fails, lock is taken a regular lookup is performed
again.

8) convert peers.lock from rwlock to a spinlock

9) Remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN when peer_cachep is created, because
rcu_head adds 16 bytes on 64bit arches, doubling effective size (64 ->
128 bytes)
In a future patch, this is probably possible to revert this part, if rcu
field is put in an union to share space with rid, ip_id_count, tcp_ts &
tcp_ts_stamp. These fields being manipulated only with refcnt > 0.

inetpeer: various changes

2010-06-15T06:13:08+00:00

Try to reduce cache line contentions in peer management, to reduce IP
defragmentation overhead.

- peer_fake_node is marked 'const' to make sure its not modified.
  (tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y)

- Group variables in two structures to reduce number of dirtied cache
lines. One named "peers" for avl tree root, its number of entries, and
associated lock. (candidate for RCU conversion)

- A second one named "unused_peers" for unused list and its lock

- Add a !list_empty() test in unlink_from_unused() to avoid taking lock
when entry is not unused.

- Use atomic_dec_and_lock() in inet_putpeer() to avoid taking lock in
some cases.

inetpeer: Optimize inet_getid()

2009-11-14T04:46:58+00:00

While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a
contention point for some workloads, as inet_peer_idlock is shared
by all inet_getid() users regardless of peers.

One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead
of __u16, and use atomic_add_return().

In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches
tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

[INET]: Use list_head-s in inetpeer.c

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58+00:00

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).
