2012-07-11tcp: TCP Small QueuesEric Dumazet
This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues) TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc & device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat problem. sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit, allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a given time. TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use. As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets. This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the already queued skbs. Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive, using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO. Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering per bulk sender : < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO) < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms) I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes. As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one tasklest per cpu for performance reasons. If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag. This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(), to eventually send new segments. [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time, but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler. These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will have no effect.

2012-07-10net: Fix memory leak - vlan_info structAmir Hanania
In driver reload test there is a memory leak. The structure vlan_info was not freed when the driver was removed. It was not released since the nr_vids var is one after last vlan was removed. The nr_vids is one, since vlan zero is added to the interface when the interface is being set, but the vlan zero is not deleted at unregister. Fix - delete vlan zero when we unregister the device.

2012-07-10Merge branch 'metrics_restructure'David S. Miller
This patch series works towards the goal of minimizing the amount of things that can change in an ipv4 route. In a regime where the routing cache is removed, route changes will lead to cloning in the FIB tables or similar. The largest trigger of route metrics writes, TCP, now has it's own cache of dynamic metric state. The timewait timestamps are stored there now as well. As a result of that, pre-cowing metrics is no longer necessary, and therefore FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS is removed. Redirect and PMTU handling is moved back into the ipv4 routes. I'm sorry for all the headaches trying to do this in the inetpeer has caused, it was the wrong approach for sure. Since metrics become read-only for ipv4 we no longer need the inetpeer hung off of the ipv4 routes either. So those disappear too. Also, timewait sockets no longer need to hold onto an inetpeer either. After this series, we still have some details to resolve wrt. PMTU and redirects for a route-cache-less system: 1) With just the plain route cache removal, PMTU will continue to work mostly fine. This is because of how the local route users call down into the PMTU update code with the route they already hold. However, if we wish to cache pre-computed routes in fib_info nexthops (which we want for performance), then we need to add route cloning for PMTU events. 2) Redirects require more work. First, redirects must be changed to be handled like PMTU. Wherein we call down into the sockets and other entities, and then they call back into the routing code with the route they were using. So we'll be adding an ->update_nexthop() method alongside ->update_pmtu(). And then, like for PMTU, we'll need cloning support once we start caching routes in the fib_info nexthops. But that's it, we can completely pull the trigger and remove the routing cache with minimal disruptions. As it is, this patch series alone helps a lot of things. For one, routing cache entry creation should be a lot faster, because we no longer do inetpeer lookups (even to check if an entry exists). This patch series also opens the door for non-DST_HOST ipv4 routes, because nothing fundamentally cares about rt->rt_dst any more. It can be removed with the base routing cache removal patch. In fact, that was the primary goal of this patch series. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-07-10ipv4: Calling ->cow_metrics() now is a bug.David S. Miller
