net: convert sock.sk_refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-01T14:39:08+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations. This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint() version of refcount API. If the hint() version must be used, we might need to revisit API.

ipv4: Namespaceify tcp_tw_recycle and tcp_max_tw_buckets knob

timers, net/ipv4/inet: Initialize connection request timers as pinned

2016-07-07T08:35:06+00:00

Pinned timers must carry the pinned attribute in the timer structure itself, so convert the code to the new API. No functional change.

tcp: must block bh in __inet_twsk_hashdance()

tcp/dccp: fix timewait races in timer handling

2015-09-21T23:32:29+00:00

When creating a timewait socket, we need to arm the timer before allowing other cpus to find it. The signal allowing cpus to find the socket is setting tw_refcnt to non zero value. As we set tw_refcnt in __inet_twsk_hashdance(), we therefore need to call inet_twsk_schedule() first. This also means we need to remove tw_refcnt changes from inet_twsk_schedule() and let the caller handle it. Note that because we use mod_timer_pinned(), we have the guarantee the timer wont expire before we set tw_refcnt as we run in BH context. To make things more readable I introduced inet_twsk_reschedule() helper. When rearming the timer, we can use mod_timer_pending() to make sure we do not rearm a canceled timer. Note: This bug can possibly trigger if packets of a flow can hit multiple cpus. This does not normally happen, unless flow steering is broken somehow. This explains this bug was spotted ~5 months after its introduction. A similar fix is needed for SYN_RECV sockets in reqsk_queue_hash_req(), but will be provided in a separate patch for proper tracking.

inet: inet_twsk_deschedule factorization

2015-07-09T22:12:20+00:00

inet_twsk_deschedule() calls are followed by inet_twsk_put(). Only particular case is in inet_twsk_purge() but there is no point to defer the inet_twsk_put() after re-enabling BH. Lets rename inet_twsk_deschedule() to inet_twsk_deschedule_put() and move the inet_twsk_put() inside. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: simplify timewait refcounting

2015-07-09T22:12:20+00:00

timewait sockets have a complex refcounting logic. Once we realize it should be similar to established and syn_recv sockets, we can use sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu() and remove inet_twsk_unhash() In particular, deferred inet_twsk_put() added in commit 13475a30b66cd ("tcp: connect() race with timewait reuse") looks unecessary : When removing a timewait socket from ehash or bhash, caller must own a reference on the socket anyway.

tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer

2015-04-13T20:40:05+00:00

Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when memory was expensive and machines had a single processor. This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies (Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.) We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior. Tested: On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1 on the target (lpaa24) Before patch : lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 419594 lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 437171 While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies. lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2 lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2 After patch : About 90% increase of throughput : lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 810442 lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 800992 And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even if network utilization is 90% higher : lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.064/0.360/0.042 ms Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
