tun: switch to use skb array for tx

2016-07-01T09:32:17Z

We used to queue tx packets in sk_receive_queue, this is less efficient since it requires spinlocks to synchronize between producer and consumer. This patch tries to address this by: - switch from sk_receive_queue to a skb_array, and resize it when tx_queue_len was changed. - introduce a new proto_ops peek_len which was used for peeking the skb length. - implement a tun version of peek_len for vhost_net to use and convert vhost_net to use peek_len if possible. Pktgen test shows about 15.3% improvement on guest receiving pps for small buffers: Before: ~1300000pps After : ~1500000pps Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Don't forget pr_fmt on net_dbg_ratelimited for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG

2016-06-16T05:07:57Z

The implementation of net_dbg_ratelimited in the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case was added with 2c94b5373 ("net: Implement net_dbg_ratelimited() for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case"). The implementation strategy was to take the usual definition of the dynamic_pr_debug macro, but alter it by adding a call to "net_ratelimit()" in the if statement. This is, in fact, the correct approach. However, while doing this, the author of the commit forgot to surround fmt by pr_fmt, resulting in unprefixed log messages appearing in the console. So, this commit adds back the pr_fmt(fmt) invocation, making net_dbg_ratelimited properly consistent across DEBUG, no DEBUG, and DYNAMIC_DEBUG cases, and bringing parity with the behavior of dynamic_pr_debug as well.

net: Implement net_dbg_ratelimited() for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case

2016-05-02T01:34:01Z

Prior to commit d92cff89a0c8 ("net_dbg_ratelimited: turn into no-op when !DEBUG") the implementation of net_dbg_ratelimited() was buggy for both the DEBUG and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG cases. The bug was that net_ratelimit() was being called and, despite returning true, nothing was being printed to the console. This resulted in messages like the following - "net_ratelimit: %d callbacks suppressed" with no other output nearby. After commit d92cff89a0c8 ("net_dbg_ratelimited: turn into no-op when !DEBUG") the bug is fixed for the DEBUG case. However, there's no output at all for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case. This patch restores debug output (if enabled) for the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case. Add a definition of net_dbg_ratelimited() for the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case. The implementation takes care to check that dynamic debugging is enabled before calling net_ratelimit().

net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protection

2015-12-01T20:45:05Z

Dmitry provided a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller) triggering a fault in sock_wake_async() when async IO is requested. Said program stressed af_unix sockets, but the issue is generic and should be addressed in core networking stack. The problem is that by the time sock_wake_async() is called, we should not access the @flags field of 'struct socket', as the inode containing this socket might be freed without further notice, and without RCU grace period. We already maintain an RCU protected structure, "struct socket_wq" so moving SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE & SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA into it is the safe route. It also reduces number of cache lines needing dirtying, so might provide a performance improvement anyway. In followup patches, we might move remaining flags (SOCK_NOSPACE, SOCK_PASSCRED, SOCK_PASSSEC) to save 8 bytes and let 'struct socket' being mostly read and let it being shared between cpus.

net: rename SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA

2015-12-01T20:45:05Z

This patch is a cleanup to make following patch easier to review. Goal is to move SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA from (struct socket)->flags to a (struct socket_wq)->flags to benefit from RCU protection in sock_wake_async() To ease backports, we rename both constants. Two new helpers, sk_set_bit(int nr, struct sock *sk) and sk_clear_bit(int net, struct sock *sk) are added so that following patch can change their implementation.

net_dbg_ratelimited: turn into no-op when !DEBUG

2015-08-07T06:51:30Z

The pr_debug family of functions turns into a no-op when -DDEBUG is not specified, opting instead to call "no_printk", which gets compiled to a no-op (but retains gcc's nice warnings about printf-style arguments). The problem with net_dbg_ratelimited is that it is defined to be a variant of net_ratelimited_function, which expands to essentially: if (net_ratelimit()) pr_debug(fmt, ...); When DEBUG is not defined, then this becomes, if (net_ratelimit()) ; This seems benign, except it isn't. Firstly, there's the obvious overhead of calling net_ratelimit needlessly, which does quite some book keeping for the rate limiting. Given that the pr_debug and net_dbg_ratelimited family of functions are sprinkled liberally through performance critical code, with developers assuming they'll be compiled out to a no-op most of the time, we certainly do not want this needless book keeping. Secondly, and most visibly, even though no debug message is printed when DEBUG is not defined, if there is a flood of invocations, dmesg winds up peppered with messages such as "net_ratelimit: 320 callbacks suppressed". This is because our aforementioned net_ratelimit() function actually prints this text in some circumstances. It's especially odd to see this when there isn't any other accompanying debug message. So, in sum, it doesn't make sense to have this function's current behavior, and instead it should match what every other debug family of functions in the kernel does with !DEBUG -- nothing. This patch replaces calls to net_dbg_ratelimited when !DEBUG with no_printk, keeping with the idiom of all the other debug print helpers. Also, though not strictly neccessary, it guards the call with an if (0) so that all evaluation of any arguments are sure to be compiled out. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Signed-off-by: David S.
