2011-01-12net/ceph: make ceph_msgr_wq non-reentrantTejun Heo
ceph messenger code does a rather complex dancing around multithread workqueue to make sure the same work item isn't executed concurrently on different CPUs. This restriction can be provided by workqueue with WQ_NON_REENTRANT. Make ceph_msgr_wq non-reentrant workqueue with the default concurrency level and remove the QUEUED/BUSY logic. * This removes backoff handling in con_work() but it couldn't reliably block execution of con_work() to begin with - queue_con() can be called after the work started but before BUSY is set. It seems that it was an optimization for a rather cold path and can be safely removed. * The number of concurrent work items is bound by the number of connections and connetions are independent from each other. With the default concurrency level, different connections will be executed independently.

2011-01-11netfilter: fix race in conntrack between dump_table and destroyStephen Hemminger
The netlink interface to dump the connection tracking table has a race when entries are deleted at the same time. A customer reported a crash and the backtrace showed thatctnetlink_dump_table was running while a conntrack entry was being destroyed. (see https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6402). According to RCU documentation, when using hlist_nulls the reader must handle the case of seeing a deleted entry and not proceed further down the linked list. The old code would continue which caused the scan to walk into the free list. This patch uses locking (rather than RCU) for this operation which is guaranteed safe, and no longer requires getting reference while doing dump operation.

2011-01-11tcp: disallow bind() to reuse addr/portEric Dumazet
inet_csk_bind_conflict() logic currently disallows a bind() if it finds a friend socket (a socket bound on same address/port) satisfying a set of conditions : 1) Current (to be bound) socket doesnt have sk_reuse set OR 2) other socket doesnt have sk_reuse set OR 3) other socket is in LISTEN state We should add the CLOSE state in the 3) condition, in order to avoid two REUSEADDR sockets in CLOSE state with same local address/port, since this can deny further operations. Note : a prior patch tried to address the problem in a different (and buggy) way. (commit fda48a0d7a8412ced tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound).

Using "iptables -L" with a lot of rules have a too big BH latency. Jesper mentioned ~6 ms and worried of frame drops. Switch to a per_cpu seqlock scheme, so that taking a snapshot of counters doesnt need to block BH (for this cpu, but also other cpus). This adds two increments on seqlock sequence per ipt_do_table() call, its a reasonable cost for allowing "iptables -L" not block BH processing.

2011-01-09net offloading: Convert checksums to use centrally computed features.Jesse Gross
In order to compute the features for other offloads (primarily scatter/gather), we need to first check the ability of the NIC to offload the checksum for the packet.

2011-01-09net offloading: Convert skb_need_linearize() to use precomputed features.Jesse Gross
This switches skb_need_linearize() to use the features that have been centrally computed. In doing so, this fixes a problem where scatter/gather should not be used because the card does not support checksum offloading on that type of packet. On device registration we only check that some form of checksum offloading is available if scatter/gatther is enabled but we must also check at transmission time. Examples of this include IPv6 or vlan packets on a NIC that only supports IPv4 offloading. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-01-09net offloading: Convert dev_gso_segment() to use precomputed features.Jesse Gross

2011-01-09net offloading: Pass features into netif_needs_gso().Jesse Gross

2011-01-09net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().Jesse Gross
netif_get_vlan_features() is currently only used by netif_needs_gso(), so it only concerns itself with GSO features. However, several other places also should take into account the contents of the packet when deciding whether to offload to hardware. This generalizes the function to return features about all of the various forms of offloading. Since offloads tend to be linked together, this avoids duplicating the logic in each location (i.e. the scatter/gather code also needs the checksum logic).

2011-01-09net offloading: Accept NETIF_F_HW_CSUM for all protocols.Jesse Gross
We currently only have software fallback for one type of checksum: the TCP/UDP one's complement. This means that a protocol that uses hardware offloading for a different type of checksum (FCoE, SCTP) must directly check the device's features and do the right thing ahead of time. By the time we get to dev_can_checksum(), we're only deciding whether to apply the one algorithm in software or hardware. NETIF_F_HW_CSUM has the same capabilities as the software version, so we should always use it if present. The primary advantage of this is multiply tagged vlans can use hardware checksumming.

The 'seq_window' sysctl sets the initial value for the DCCP Sequence Window, which may range from 32..2^46-1 (RFC 4340, 7.5.2). The patch sets the upper bound consistently to 2^32-1 on both 32 and 64 bit systems, which should be sufficient - with a RTT of 1sec and 1-byte packets, a seq_window of 2^32-1 corresponds to a link speed of 34 Gbps.

2011-01-07fs: scale mntget/mntputNick Piggin
The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability. We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Pseudo filesystems do not seem need to have connected dentries because by definition they are disconnected. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup pathNick Piggin
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: avoid inode RCU freeing for pseudo fsNick Piggin
Pseudo filesystems that don't put inode on RCU list or reachable by rcu-walk dentries do not need to RCU free their inodes. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: change d_delete semanticsNick Piggin
Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent, and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback anyway. This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning much simpler. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2011-01-06NFS associate sessionid with callback connectionAndy Adamson
The sessions based callback service is started prior to the CREATE_SESSION call so that it can handle CB_NULL requests which can be sent before the CREATE_SESSION call returns and the session ID is known. Set the callback sessionid after a sucessful CREATE_SESSION. Signed-off-by: Andy Adamson <andros@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
