In the original design slow start is only used to raise cwnd when cwnd is stricly below ssthresh. It makes little sense to slow start when cwnd == ssthresh: especially when hystart has set ssthresh in the initial ramp, or after recovery when cwnd resets to ssthresh. Not doing so will also help reduce the buffer bloat slightly. Signed-off-by:

This change makes it so that the call skb_defer_rx_timestamp will first check for a phydev before going in and manipulating the skb->data and skb->len values. By doing this we can avoid unnecessary work on network devices that don't support phydev. As a result we reduce the total instruction count needed to process this on most devices. Signed-off-by:

V1 of this patch contains Eric Dumazet's suggestion to move the per dst RTAX_QUICKACK check into tcp_in_quickack_mode(). Thanks Eric. I ran some tests and after setting the "ip route change quickack 1" knob there were still many delayed ACKs sent. This occured because when icsk_ack.quick=0 the !icsk_ack.pingpong value is subsequently ignored as tcp_in_quickack_mode() checks both these values. The condition for a quick ack to trigger requires that both icsk_ack.quick != 0 and icsk_ack.pingpong=0. Currently only icsk_ack.pingpong is controlled by the knob. But the icsk_ack.quick value changes dynamically depending on heuristics. The crux of the matter is that delayed acks still cannot be entirely disabled even with the RTAX_QUICKACK per dst knob enabled. This patch ensures that a quick ack is always sent when the RTAX_QUICKACK per dst knob is turned on. The "ip route change quickack 1" knob was recently added to enable quickacks. It was modeled around the TCP_QUICKACK setsockopt() option. This issue is that even with "ip route change quickack 1" enabled we still see delayed ACKs under some conditions. It would be nice to be able to completely disable delayed ACKs. Here is an example: # netstat -s|grep dela 3 delayed acks sent For all routes enable the knob # ip route change quickack 1 Generate some traffic across a slow link and we still see the delayed acks. # netstat -s|grep dela 106 delayed acks sent 1 delayed acks further delayed because of locked socket The issue is that both the "ip route change quickack 1" knob and the TCP_QUICKACK option set the icsk_ack.pingpong variable to 0. However at the business end in the __tcp_ack_snd_check() routine, tcp_in_quickack_mode() checks that both icsk_ack.quick != 0 and icsk_ack.pingpong=0 in order to trigger a quickack. As icsk_ack.quick is determined by heuristics it can be 0. When that occurs the icsk_ack.pingpong value is ignored and a delayed ACK is sent regardless. This patch moves the RTAX_QUICKACK per dst check into the tcp_in_quickack_mode() routine which ensures that a quickack is always sent when the quickack knob is enabled for that dst.

When packet encapsulation is in use, the MTU needs to be reduced for headroom reservation. The existing code takes the updated MTU value only from the host side. But vSwitch extensions, such as Open vSwitch, require the flexibility to change the MTU to different values from within a guest during the lifecycle of a vNIC, when the encapsulation protocol is changed. The patch supports this kind of MTU changes. Signed-off-by:

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net_sched: act: lockless operation As mentioned by Alexei last week in Budapest, it is a bit weird to take a spinlock in order to drop a packet in a tc filter... Lets add percpu infra for tc actions and use it for gact & mirred. Before changes, my host with 8 RX queues was handling 5 Mpps with gact, and more than 11 Mpps after. Mirred change is not yet visible if ifb+qdisc is used, as ifb is not yet multi queue enabled, but is a step forward. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Like act_gact, act_mirred can be lockless in packet processing 1) Use percpu stats 2) update lastuse only every clock tick to avoid false sharing 3) use rcu to protect tcfm_dev 4) Remove spinlock usage, as it is no longer needed. Next step : add multi queue capability to ifb device Signed-off-by:

Final step for gact RCU operation : 1) Use percpu stats 2) update lastuse only every clock tick to avoid false sharing 3) Remove spinlock acquisition, as it is no longer needed. Since this is the last contended lock in packet RX when tc gact is used, this gives impressive gain. My host with 8 RX queues was handling 5 Mpps before the patch, and more than 11 Mpps after patch.

Yuchung Cheng says: ==================== tcp: reducing lost retransmits in recovery This patch series reduces lost retransmits in recovery, in particular when dealing with traffic policers. The main problem is that slow start in recovery under policing can cause massive lost and retransmit storms: any excess sending rate turns into drops. The solution is to avoid doing slow start when lost retransmit is detected and use packet conservation instead. On networks with traffic policers the patches have lowered the TCP loss rates by ~20% from Google servers without latency regressions. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Yuchung Cheng authored
PRR slow start is often too aggressive especially when drops are caused by traffic policers. The policers mainly use token bucket to enforce the rate so sending (twice) faster than the delivery rate causes excessive drops. This patch changes PRR to the conservative reduction bound (CRB) mode in RFC 6937 by default. CRB follows the packet conservation rule to send at most the delivery rate by default. But if many packets are lost and the pipe is empty, CRB may take N round trips to repair N losses. We conditionally turn on slow start mode if all these conditions are made to speed up the recovery: 1) on the second round or later in recovery 2) retransmission sent in the previous round is delivered on this ACK 3) no retransmission is marked lost on this ACK By using packet conservation by default, this change reduces the loss retransmits signicantly on networks that deploy traffic policers, up to 20% reduction of overall loss rate.

If the retransmission in CA_Loss is lost again, we should not continue to slow start or raise cwnd in congestion avoidance mode. Instead we should enter fast recovery and use PRR to reduce cwnd, following the principle in RFC5681: "... or the loss of a retransmission, should be taken as two indications of congestion and, therefore, cwnd (and ssthresh) MUST be lowered twice in this case." This is especially important to reduce loss when the CA_Loss state was caused by a traffic policer dropping the entire inflight. The CA_Loss state has a problem where a loss of L packets causes the sender to send a burst of L packets. So a policer that's dropping most packets in a given RTT can cause a huge retransmit storm. By contrast, PRR includes logic to bound the number of outbound packets that result from a given ACK. So switching to CA_Recovery on lost retransmits in CA_Loss avoids this retransmit storm problem when in CA_Loss. Signed-off-by:
