net: Don't copy pfmemalloc flag in __copy_skb_header()

2018-07-12T22:15:16Z

The pfmemalloc flag indicates that the skb was allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves, and the flag is currently copied on skb copy and clone. However, an skb copied from an skb flagged with pfmemalloc wasn't necessarily allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserves, and on the other hand an skb allocated that way might be copied from an skb that wasn't. So we should not copy the flag on skb copy, and rather decide whether to allow an skb to be associated with sockets unrelated to page reclaim depending only on how it was allocated. Move the pfmemalloc flag before headers_start[0] using an existing 1-bit hole, so that __copy_skb_header() doesn't copy it. When cloning, we'll now take care of this flag explicitly, contravening to the warning comment of __skb_clone(). While at it, restore the newline usage introduced by commit b19372273164 ("net: reorganize sk_buff for faster __copy_skb_header()") to visually separate bytes used in bitfields after headers_start[0], that was gone after commit a9e419dc7be6 ("netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage area"), and describe the pfmemalloc flag in the kernel-doc structure comment. This doesn't change the size of sk_buff or cacheline boundaries, but consolidates the 15 bits hole before tc_index into a 2 bytes hole before csum, that could now be filled more easily.

Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL

2018-06-28T17:40:47Z

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

net: core: rework basic flow dissection helper

2018-05-08T04:02:36Z

When the core networking needs to detect the transport offset in a given packet and parse it explicitly, a full-blown flow_keys struct is used for storage. This patch introduces a smaller keys store, rework the basic flow dissect helper to use it, and apply this new helper where possible - namely in skb_probe_transport_header(). The used flow dissector data structures are renamed to match more closely the new role. The above gives ~50% performance improvement in micro benchmarking around skb_probe_transport_header() and ~30% around eth_get_headlen(), mostly due to the smaller memset. Small, but measurable improvement is measured also in macro benchmarking. v1 -> v2: use the new helper in eth_get_headlen() and skb_get_poff(), as per DaveM suggestion Suggested-by: David Miller Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S.

udp: add udp gso

2018-04-26T19:07:42Z

Implement generic segmentation offload support for udp datagrams. A follow-up patch adds support to the protocol stack to generate such packets. UDP GSO is not UFO. UFO fragments a single large datagram. GSO splits a large payload into a number of discrete UDP datagrams. The implementation adds a GSO type SKB_UDP_GSO_L4 to differentiate it from UFO (SKB_UDP_GSO). IPPROTO_UDPLITE is excluded, as that protocol has no gso handler registered.

net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends

2018-04-19T17:44:11Z

After working on IP defragmentation lately, I found that some large packets defeat CHECKSUM_COMPLETE optimization because of NIC adding zero paddings on the last (small) fragment. While removing the padding with pskb_trim_rcsum(), we set skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE, forcing a full csum validation, even if all prior fragments had CHECKSUM_COMPLETE set. We can instead compute the checksum of the part we are trimming, usually smaller than the part we keep. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: frags: get rid of ipfrag_skb_cb/FRAG_CB

2018-04-01T03:25:40Z

ip_defrag uses skb->cb[] to store the fragment offset, and unfortunately this integer is currently in a different cache line than skb->next, meaning that we use two cache lines per skb when finding the insertion point. By aliasing skb->ip_defrag_offset and skb->dev, we pack all the fields in a single cache line and save precious memory bandwidth. Note that after the fast path added by Changli Gao in commit d6bebca92c66 ("fragment: add fast path for in-order fragments") this change wont help the fast path, since we still need to access prev->len (2nd cache line), but will show great benefits when slow path is entered, since we perform a linear scan of a potentially long list. Also, note that this potential long list is an attack vector, we might consider also using an rb-tree there eventually. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
