Unconditionally pulling 128 bytes into the linear area is not required
for:
- security: Every protocol demux starts with pskb_may_pull() to pull
frag data into the linear area, if necessary, before looking at
headers.
- performance: Netback has already grant copied up-to 128 bytes from
the first slot of a packet into the linear area. The first slot
normally contain all the IPv4/IPv6 and TCP/UDP headers.
The unconditional pull would often copy frag data unnecessarily. This
is a performance problem when running on a version of Xen where grant
unmap avoids TLB flushes for pages which are not accessed. TLB
flushes can now be avoided for > 99% of unmaps (it was 0% before).
Grant unmap TLB flush avoidance will be available in a future version
of Xen (probably 4.6).

mld_newpack() skb allocations are usually requested with dev->mtu
in size, since commit 72e09ad107 ("ipv6: avoid high order allocations")
we have changed the limit in order to be less likely to fail.
However, in MLD/IGMP code, we have some rather ugly AVAILABLE(skb)
macros, which determine if we may end up doing an skb_put() for
adding another record. To avoid possible fragmentation, we check
the skb's tailroom as skb->dev->mtu - skb->len, which is a wrong
assumption as the actual max allocation size can be much smaller.
The IGMP case doesn't have this issue as commit 57e1ab6ead
("igmp: refine skb allocations") stores the allocation size in
the cb[].
Set a reserved_tailroom to make it fit into the MTU and use
skb_availroom() helper instead. This also allows to get rid of
igmp_skb_size().

By default the arch_fast_hash hashing function pointers are initialized
to jhash(2). If during boot-up a CPU with SSE4.2 is detected they get
updated to the CRC32 ones. This dispatching scheme incurs a function
pointer lookup and indirect call for every hashing operation.
rhashtable as a user of arch_fast_hash e.g. stores pointers to hashing
functions in its structure, too, causing two indirect branches per
hashing operation.
Using alternative_call we can get away with one of those indirect branches.

Ueki Kohei reported that when we are using NewReno with connections that
have a very low traffic, we may timeout the connection too early if a
second loss occurs after the first one was successfully acked but no
data was transfered later. Below is his description of it:
When SACK is disabled, and a socket suffers multiple separate TCP
retransmissions, that socket's ETIMEDOUT value is calculated from the
time of the *first* retransmission instead of the *latest*
retransmission.
This happens because the tcp_sock's retrans_stamp is set once then never
cleared.
Take the following connection:
Linux remote-machine
| |
send#1---->(*1)|--------> data#1 --------->|
| | |
RTO : :
| | |
---(*2)|----> data#1(retrans) ---->|
| (*3)|<---------- ACK <----------|
| | |
| : :
| : :
| : :
16 minutes (or more) :
| : :
| : :
| : :
| | |
send#2---->(*4)|--------> data#2 --------->|
| | |
RTO : :
| | |
---(*5)|----> data#2(retrans) ---->|
| | |
| | |
RTO*2 : :
| | |
| | |
ETIMEDOUT<----(*6)| |
(*1) One data packet sent.
(*2) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted.
(*3) The ACK packet is received. The transmitted packet is acknowledged.
At this point the first "retransmission event" has passed and been
recovered from. Any future retransmission is a completely new "event".
(*4) After 16 minutes (to correspond with retries2=15), a new data
packet is sent. Note: No data is transmitted between (*3) and (*4).
The socket's timeout SHOULD be calculated from this point in time, but
instead it's calculated from the prior "event" 16 minutes ago.
(*5) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted.
(*6) At the time of the 2nd retransmission, the socket returns
ETIMEDOUT.
Therefore, now we clear retrans_stamp as soon as all data during the
loss window is fully acked.

====================
gue: Remote checksum offload
This patch set implements remote checksum offload for
GUE, which is a mechanism that provides checksum offload of
encapsulated packets using rudimentary offload capabilities found in
most Network Interface Card (NIC) devices. The outer header checksum
for UDP is enabled in packets and, with some additional meta
information in the GUE header, a receiver is able to deduce the
checksum to be set for an inner encapsulated packet. Effectively this
offloads the computation of the inner checksum. Enabling the outer
checksum in encapsulation has the additional advantage that it covers
more of the packet than the inner checksum including the encapsulation
headers.
Remote checksum offload is described in:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01
The GUE transmit and receive paths are modified to support the
remote checksum offload option. The option contains a checksum
offset and checksum start which are directly derived from values
set in stack when doing CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. On receipt of the option, the
operation is to calculate the packet checksum from "start" to end of
the packet (normally derived for checksum complete), and then set
the resultant value at checksum "offset" (the checksum field has
already been primed with the pseudo header). This emulates a NIC
that implements NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
The primary purpose of this feature is to eliminate cost of performing
checksum calculation over a packet when encpasulating.
In this patch set:
- Move fou_build_header into fou.c and split it into a couple of
functions
- Enable offloading of outer UDP checksum in encapsulation
- Change udp_offload to support remote checksum offload, includes
new GSO type and ensuring encapsulated layers (TCP) doesn't try to
set a checksum covered by RCO
- TX support for RCO with GUE. This is configured through ip_tunnel
and set the option on transmit when packet being encapsulated is
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
- RX support for RCO with GUE for normal and GRO paths. Includes
resolving the offloaded checksum
v2:
Address comments from davem: Move accounting for private option
field in gue_encap_hlen to patch in which we add the remote checksum
offload option.
Testing:
I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR with 200
streams, comparing GUE with and without remote checksum offload (doing
checksum-unnecessary to complete conversion in both cases). These
were run on mlnx4 and bnx2x. Some mlnx4 results are below.

We can also look at CPU time in csum_partial using perf (with bnx2x
setup). For GRE with TCP_STREAM I see:
With remote checksum offload
0.33% TX
1.81% RX
Without remote checksum offload
6.00% TX
0.51% RX
I suspect the fact that time in csum_partial noticably increases
with remote checksum offload for RX is due to taking the cache miss on
the encapsulated header in that function. By similar reasoning, if on
the TX side the packet were not in cache (say we did a splice from a
file whose data was never touched by the CPU) the CPU savings for TX
would probably be more pronounced.

Add processing of the remote checksum offload option in both the normal
path as well as the GRO path. The implements patching the affected
checksum to derive the offloaded checksum.

Add if_tunnel flag TUNNEL_ENCAP_FLAG_REMCSUM to configure
remote checksum offload on an IP tunnel. Add logic in gue_build_header
to insert remote checksum offload option.
