      ipv4: Properly purge netdev references on uncached routes. · caacf05e
      David S. Miller authored
      When a device is unregistered, we have to purge all of the
      references to it that may exist in the entire system.
      
      If a route is uncached, we currently have no way of accomplishing
      this.
      
      So create a global list that is scanned when a network device goes
      down.  This mirrors the logic in net/core/dst.c's dst_ifdown().

      ipv4: percpu nh_rth_output cache · d26b3a7c
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Input path is mostly run under RCU and doesnt touch dst refcnt
      
      But output path on forwarding or UDP workloads hits
      badly dst refcount, and we have lot of false sharing, for example
      in ipv4_mtu() when reading rt->rt_pmtu
      
      Using a percpu cache for nh_rth_output gives a nice performance
      increase at a small cost.
      
      24 udpflood test on my 24 cpu machine (dummy0 output device)
      (each process sends 1.000.000 udp frames, 24 processes are started)
      
      before : 5.24 s
      after : 2.06 s
      For reference, time on linux-3.5 : 6.60 s

      ipv4: Restore old dst_free() behavior. · 54764bb6
      Eric Dumazet authored
      commit 404e0a8b (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried
      to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time :
      
      We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets
      still have dst in their cache.
      dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.
      
      Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
      nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
      rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.
      
      Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
      call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)
      
      I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes
      to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in
      this code.

      tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it · 59ea33a6
      Jiri Kosina authored
      Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a8 ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
      added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.
      
      The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
      applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
      task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.
      
      This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
      case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
      recvmsg() is used.
      
      If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
      there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
      misses the check in the dmaengine case.
      
      This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
      good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
      IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
      have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.
      
      This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
      iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
      recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

      This reverts commit 5b3e7e6c.
      
      The problem that the original commit was attempting to fix can
      never happen in practice because validation is done one a per-flow
      basis rather than a per-packet basis.  Adding additional checks at
      runtime is unnecessary and inconsistent with the rest of the code.
