Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard. Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal latencies. To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use : ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44 But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to 50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when a packet with TCP Push flag is received. Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every incoming packet. This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do, based on traffic pattern. Packets with Push flag wont be delayed. Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep receiving data. This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond. To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

Remove the dependency on the "warning" sysctl (net_msg_warn) which is only used by the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro. Convert the LIMIT_NETDEBUG use in DCCP_WARN to the more common net_warn_ratelimited mechanism. This still ratelimits based on the net_ratelimit() function, but removes the check for the sysctl.

As NIC multicast filtering isn't perfect, and some platforms are quite content to spew broadcasts, we should not trigger an event for skb:kfree_skb when we do not have a match for such an incoming datagram. We do though want to avoid sweeping the matter under the rug entirely, so increment a suitable statistic. This incorporates feedback from David L. Stevens, Karl Neiss and Eric Dumazet.

Herbert Xu says: ==================== Replace skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec with iterator version This patch series adds the helper skb_copy_datagram_iter, which is meant to replace both skb_copy_datagram_iovec and its evil twin skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec. It then converts tun and macvtap over to the new helper and finally removes skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec which is only used by tun and macvtap.

Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== sunvnet: bug fixes This patch series has a coding-style fix and a bug fix. The coding style fix (patch 1) is the extra indentation flagged by Ben Hutchings: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=141529243409594&w=2 The bugfix (patch 2) is the following: when vnet_event_napi() is called as part of napi_resume (i.e., continuation of a previous NAPI read that was truncated due to budget constraints), and then finds no more packets to read, the code was trying to avoid an additional trip through ldc_rx as an optimization. However, when this corner case happens, we would need to reset a number of dring state bits such as rcv_nxt carefully, which quickly becomes complex and hacky. The cleaner solution is to just roll back to vnet_poll, re-enable interrupts and set up dring state as was done in the pre-NAPI version of the driver. ==================== Signed-off-by:
-
Sowmini Varadhan authored
vnet_event_napi() may be called as part of the NAPI ->poll, to resume reading descriptor rings. When no data is available, descriptor ring state (e.g., rcv_nxt) needs to be reset carefully to stay in lock-step with ldc_read(). In the interest of simplicity, the best way to do this is to return from vnet_event_napi() when there are no more packets to read. The next trip through ldc_rx will correctly set up the dring state.
