Add a new function ovs_ct_find_existing() to find an existing
conntrack entry for which this packet was already applied to. This is
only to be called when there is evidence that the packet was already
tracked and committed, but we lost the ct reference due to an
userspace upcall.
ovs_ct_find_existing() is called from skb_nfct_cached(), which can now
hide the fact that the ct reference may have been lost due to an
upcall. This allows ovs_ct_commit() to be simplified.
This patch is needed by later "openvswitch: Interface with NAT" patch,
as we need to be able to pass the packet through NAT using the
original ct reference also after the reference is lost after an
upcall.

====================
kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM)
Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM) is a facility that provides a
message based interface over TCP for generic application protocols.
The motivation for this is based on the observation that although
TCP is byte stream transport protocol with no concept of message
boundaries, a common use case is to implement a framed application
layer protocol running over TCP. To date, most TCP stacks offer
byte stream API for applications, which places the burden of message
delineation, message I/O operation atomicity, and load balancing
in the application. With KCM an application can efficiently send
and receive application protocol messages over TCP using a
datagram interface.
In order to delineate message in a TCP stream for receive in KCM, the
kernel implements a message parser. For this we chose to employ BPF
which is applied to the TCP stream. BPF code parses application layer
messages and returns a message length. Nearly all binary application
protocols are parsable in this manner, so KCM should be applicable
across a wide range of applications. Other than message length
determination in receive, KCM does not require any other application
specific awareness. KCM does not implement any other application
protocol semantics-- these are are provided in userspace or could be
implemented in a kernel module layered above KCM.
KCM implements an NxM multiplexor in the kernel as diagrammed below:
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+ +------------+
| KCM socket | | KCM socket | | KCM socket | | KCM socket |
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+ +------------+
| | | |
+-----------+ | | +----------+
| | | |
+----------------------------------+
| Multiplexor |
+----------------------------------+
| | | | |
+---------+ | | | ------------+
| | | | |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| Psock | | Psock | | Psock | | Psock | | Psock |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| | | | |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| TCP sock | | TCP sock | | TCP sock | | TCP sock | | TCP sock |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
The KCM sockets provide the datagram interface to applications,
Psocks are the state for each attached TCP connection (i.e. where
message delineation is performed on receive).
A description of the APIs and design can be found in the included
Documentation/networking/kcm.txt.
In this patch set:
- Add MSG_BATCH flag. This is used in sendmsg msg_hdr flags to
indicate that more messages will be sent on the socket. The stack
may batch messages up if it is beneficial for transmission.
- In sendmmsg, set MSG_BATCH in all sub messages except for the last
one.
- In order to allow sendmmsg to contain multiple messages with
SOCK_SEQPAKET we allow each msg_hdr in the sendmmsg to set MSG_EOR.
- Add KCM module
- This supports SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET.
- KCM documentation
v2:
- Added splice and page operations.
- Assemble receive messages in place on TCP socket (don't have a
separate assembly queue.
- Based on above, enforce maxmimum receive message to be the size
of the recceive socket buffer.
- Support message assembly timeout. Use the timeout value in
sk_rcvtimeo on the TCP socket.
- Tested some with a couple of other production applications,
see ~5% improvement in application latency.
Testing:
Dave Watson has integrated KCM into Thrift and we intend to put these
changes into open source. Example of this is in:
https://github.com/djwatson/fbthrift/commit/
dd7e0f9cf4e80912fdb90f6cd394db24e61a14cc
Some initial KCM Thrift benchmark numbers (comment from Dave)
Thrift by default ties a single connection to a single thread. KCM is
instead able to load balance multiple connections across multiple epoll
loops easily.
A test sending ~5k bytes of data to a kcm thrift server, dropping the
bytes on recv:
QPS Latency / std dev Latency
without KCM
70336 209/123
with KCM
70353 191/124
A test sending a small request, then doing work in the epoll thread,
before serving more requests:
QPS Latency / std dev Latency
without KCM
14282 559/602
with KCM
23192 344/234
At the high end, there's definitely some additional kernel overhead:
Cranking the pipelining way up, with lots of small requests
QPS Latency / std dev Latency
without KCM
1863429 127/119
with KCM
1337713 192/241
---
So for a "realistic" workload, KCM performs pretty well (second case).
Under extreme conditions of highest tps we still have some work to do.
In its nature a multiplexor will spread work between CPUs which is
logically good for load balancing but coan conflict with the goal
promoting affinity. Batching messages on both send and receive are
the means to recoup performance.
Future support:
- Integration with TLS (TLS-in-kernel is a separate initiative).
- Page operations/splice support
- Unconnected KCM sockets. Will be able to attach sockets to different
destinations, AF_KCM addresses with be used in sendmsg and recvmsg
to indicate destination
- Explore more utility in performing BPF inline with a TCP data stream
(setting SO_MARK, rxhash for messages being sent received on
KCM sockets).
- Performance work
- Diagnose performance issues under high message load
FAQ (Questions posted on LWN)
Q: Why do this in the kernel?
A: Because the kernel is good at scheduling threads and steering packets
to threads. KCM fits well into this model since it allows the unit
of work for scheduling and steering to be the application layer
messages themselves. KCM should be thought of as generic application
protocol acceleration. It to the philosophy that the kernel provides
generic and extensible interfaces.
Q: How can adding code in the path yield better performance?
A: It is true that for just sending receiving a single message there
would be some performance loss since the code path is longer (for
instance comparing netperf to KCM). But for real production
applications performance takes on many dynamics. Parallelism, context
switching, affinity, granularity of locking, and load balancing are
all relevant. The theory of KCM is that by an application-centric
interface, the kernel can provide better support for these
performance characteristics.
Q: Why not use an existing message-oriented protocol such as RUDP,
DCCP, SCTP, RDS, and others?
A: Because that would entail using a completely new transport protocol.
Deploying a new protocol at scale is either a huge undertaking or
fundamentally infeasible. This is true in either the Internet and in
the data center due in a large part to protocol ossification.
Besides, KCM we want KCM to work existing, well deployed application
protocols that we couldn't change even if we wanted to (e.g. http/2).
KCM simply defines a new interface method, it does not redefine any
aspect of the transport protocol nor application protocol, nor set
any new requirements on these. Neither does KCM attempt to implement
any application protocol logic other than message deliniation in the
stream. These are fundamental requirement of KCM.
Q: How does this affect TCP?
A: It doesn't, not in the slightest. The use of KCM can be one-sided,
KCM has no effect on the wire.
Q: Why force TCP into doing something it's not designed for?
A: TCP is defined as transport protocol and there is no standard that
says the API into TCP must be stream based sockets, or for that
matter sockets at all (or even that TCP needs to be implemented in a
kernel). KCM is not inconsistent with the design of TCP just because
to makes an message based interface over TCP, if it were then every
application protocol sending messages over TCP would also be! :-)
Q: What about the problem of a connections with very slow rate of
incoming data? As a result your application can get storms of very
short reads. And it actually happens a lot with connection from
mobile devices and it is a problem for servers handling a lot of
connections.
A: The storm of short reads will occur regardless of whether KCM is used
or not. KCM does have one advantage in this scenario though, it will
only wake up the application when a full message has been received,
not for each packet that makes up part of a bigger messages. If a
bunch of small messages are received, the application can receive
messages in batches using recvmmsg.
Q: Why not just use DPDK, or at least provide KCM like functionality in
DPDK?
A: DPDK, or more generally OS bypass presumably with a TCP stack in
userland, presents a different model of load balancing than that of
KCM (and the kernel). KCM implements load balancing of messages
across the threads of an application, whereas DPDK load balances
based on queues which are more static and coarse-grained since
multiple connections are bound to queues. DPDK works best when
processing of packets is silo'ed in a thread on the CPU processing
a queue, and packet processing (for both the stack and application)
is fairly uniform. KCM works well for applications where the amount
of work to process messages varies an application work is commonly
delegated to worker threads often on different CPUs.
The message based interface over TCP is something that could be
provide by a DPDK or OS bypass library.
Q: I'm not quite seeing this for HTTP. Maybe for HTTP/2, I guess, or web
sockets?
A: Yes. KCM is most appropriate for message based protocols over TCP
where is easy to deduce the message length (e.g. a length field)
and the protocol implements its own message ordering semantics.
Fortunately this encompasses many modern protocols.
Q: How is memory limited and controlled?
A: In v2 all data for messages is now kept in socket buffers, either
those for TCP or KCM, so socket buffer limits are applicable.
This includes receive messages assembly which is now done ont teh
TCP socket buffer instead of a separate queue-- this has the
consequence that the TCP socket buffer limit provides an
enforceable maxmimum message size.
Additionally, a timeout may be set for messages assembly. The
value used for this is taken from sk_rcvtimeo of the TCP socket.

This patch adds receive timeout for message assembly on the attached TCP
sockets. The timeout is set when a new messages is started and the whole
message has not been received by TCP (not in the receive queue). If the
completely message is subsequently received the timer is cancelled, if the
timer expires the RX side is aborted.
The timeout value is taken from the socket timeout (SO_RCVTIMEO) that is
set on a TCP socket (i.e. set by get sockopt before attaching a TCP socket

Message assembly is performed on the TCP socket. This is logically
equivalent of an application that performs a peek on the socket to find
out how much memory is needed for a receive buffer. The receive socket
buffer also provides the maximum message size which is checked.
The receive algorithm is something like:
1) Receive the first skbuf for a message (or skbufs if multiple are
needed to determine message length).
2) Check the message length against the number of bytes in the TCP
receive queue (tcp_inq()).
- If all the bytes of the message are in the queue (incluing the
skbuf received), then proceed with message assembly (it should
complete with the tcp_read_sock)
- Else, mark the psock with the number of bytes needed to
complete the message.
3) In TCP data ready function, if the psock indicates that we are
waiting for the rest of the bytes of a messages, check the number
of queued bytes against that.
- If there are still not enough bytes for the message, just
return
- Else, clear the waiting bytes and proceed to receive the
skbufs. The message should now be received in one

v1->v2:
. fix few issues spotted by Daniel
. converted stackmap into pre-allocation as well
. added a workaround for lockdep false positive
. added pcpu_freelist_populate to be used by hashmap and stackmap
this path set switches bpf hash map to use pre-allocation by default
and introduces BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC flag to keep old behavior for cases
where full map pre-allocation is too memory expensive.
Some time back Daniel Wagner reported crashes when bpf hash map is
used to compute time intervals between preempt_disable->preempt_enable
and recently Tom Zanussi reported a dead lock in iovisor/bcc/funccount
tool if it's used to count the number of invocations of kernel
'*spin*' functions. Both problems are due to the recursive use of
slub and can only be solved by pre-allocating all map elements.
A lot of different solutions were considered. Many implemented,
but at the end pre-allocation seems to be the only feasible answer.
As far as pre-allocation goes it also was implemented 4 different ways:
- simple free-list with single lock
- percpu_ida with optimizations
- blk-mq-tag variant customized for bpf use case
- percpu_freelist

It was observed that calling bpf_get_stackid() from a kprobe inside
slub or from spin_unlock causes similar deadlock as with hashmap,
therefore convert stackmap to use pre-allocated memory.
The call_rcu is no longer feasible mechanism, since delayed freeing
causes bpf_get_stackid() to fail unpredictably when number of actual
stacks is significantly less than user requested max_entries.
Since elements are no longer freed into slub, we can push elements into
freelist immediately and let them be recycled.
However the very unlikley race between user space map_lookup() and
program-side recycling is possible:
cpu0 cpu1
---- ----
user does lookup(stackidX)
starts copying ips into buffer
delete(stackidX)
calls bpf_get_stackid()
which recyles the element and
overwrites with new stack trace
To avoid user space seeing a partial stack trace consisting of two
merged stack traces, do bucket = xchg(, NULL); copy; xchg(,bucket);
to preserve consistent stack trace delivery to user space.
Now we can move memset(,0) of left-over element value from critical
path of bpf_get_stackid() into slow-path of user space lookup.
Also disallow lookup() from bpf program, since it's useless and
program shouldn't be messing with collected stack trace.
Note that similar race between user space lookup and kernel side updates
is also present in hashmap, but it's not a new race. bpf programs were
always allowed to modify hash and array map elements while user space
is copying them.

If kprobe is placed on spin_unlock then calling kmalloc/kfree from
bpf programs is not safe, since the following dead lock is possible:
kfree->spin_lock(kmem_cache_node->lock)...spin_unlock->kprobe->
bpf_prog->map_update->kmalloc->spin_lock(of the same kmem_cache_node->lock)
and deadlocks.
The following solutions were considered and some implemented, but
eventually discarded
- kmem_cache_create for every map
- add recursion check to slow-path of slub
- use reserved memory in bpf_map_update for in_irq or in preempt_disabled
- kmalloc via irq_work
At the end pre-allocation of all map elements turned out to be the simplest
solution and since the user is charged upfront for all the memory, such
pre-allocation doesn't affect the user space visible behavior.
Since it's impossible to tell whether kprobe is triggered in a safe
location from kmalloc point of view, use pre-allocation by default
and introduce new BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC flag.
While testing of per-cpu hash maps it was discovered
that alloc_percpu(GFP_ATOMIC) has odd corner cases and often
fails to allocate memory even when 90% of it is free.
The pre-allocation of per-cpu hash elements solves this problem as well.
Turned out that bpf_map_update() quickly followed by
bpf_map_lookup()+bpf_map_delete() is very common pattern used
in many of iovisor/bcc/tools, so there is additional benefit of
pre-allocation, since such use cases are must faster.
Since all hash map elements are now pre-allocated we can remove
atomic increment of htab->count and save few more cycles.
Also add bpf_map_precharge_memlock() to check rlimit_memlock early to avoid
large malloc/free done by users who don't have sufficient limits.
Pre-allocation is done with vmalloc and alloc/free is done
via percpu_freelist. Here are performance numbers for different
pre-allocation algorithms that were implemented, but discarded
in favor of percpu_freelist:
1 cpu:
pcpu_ida 2.1M
pcpu_ida nolock 2.3M
bt 2.4M
kmalloc 1.8M
hlist+spinlock 2.3M
pcpu_freelist 2.6M
4 cpu:
pcpu_ida 1.5M
pcpu_ida nolock 1.8M
bt w/smp_align 1.7M
bt no/smp_align 1.1M
kmalloc 0.7M
hlist+spinlock 0.2M
pcpu_freelist 2.0M
8 cpu:
pcpu_ida 0.7M
bt w/smp_align 0.8M
kmalloc 0.4M
pcpu_freelist 1.5M
32 cpu:
kmalloc 0.13M
pcpu_freelist 0.49M
pcpu_ida nolock is a modified percpu_ida algorithm without
percpu_ida_cpu locks and without cross-cpu tag stealing.
It's faster than existing percpu_ida, but not as fast as pcpu_freelist.
bt is a variant of block/blk-mq-tag.c simlified and customized
for bpf use case. bt w/smp_align is using cache line for every 'long'
(similar to blk-mq-tag). bt no/smp_align allocates 'long'
bitmasks continuously to save memory. It's comparable to percpu_ida
and in some cases faster, but slower than percpu_freelist
hlist+spinlock is the simplest free list with single spinlock.
As expeceted it has very bad scaling in SMP.
kmalloc is existing implementation which is still available via
BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC flag. It's significantly slower in single cpu and
in 8 cpu setup it's 3 times slower than pre-allocation with pcpu_freelist,
but saves memory, so in cases where map->max_entries can be large
and number of map update/delete per second is low, it may make
sense to use it.

Introduce simple percpu_freelist to keep single list of elements
spread across per-cpu singly linked lists.
/* push element into the list */
void pcpu_freelist_push(struct pcpu_freelist *, struct pcpu_freelist_node *);
/* pop element from the list */
struct pcpu_freelist_node *pcpu_freelist_pop(struct pcpu_freelist *);
The object is pushed to the current cpu list.
Pop first trying to get the object from the current cpu list,
if it's empty goes to the neigbour cpu list.
For bpf program usage pattern the collision rate is very low,
since programs push and pop the objects typically on the same cpu.

if kprobe is placed within update or delete hash map helpers
that hold bucket spin lock and triggered bpf program is trying to
grab the spinlock for the same bucket on the same cpu, it will
deadlock.
Fix it by extending existing recursion prevention mechanism.
Note, map_lookup and other tracing helpers don't have this problem,
since they don't hold any locks and don't modify global data.
bpf_trace_printk has its own recursive check and ok as well.

ipv6: per netns FIB6 walkers and garbage collector
Commit 2ac3ac8f86 ("ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention") reduced
the risk of contention on FIB6 garbage collector lock on systems with
many CPUs. However, one of our customers can still observe heavy
contention on fib6_gc_lock which can even trigger the soft lockup
detector.
This is caused by garbage collector running in forced mode from a timer.
While there is one timer per network namespace, the instances of
fib6_run_gc() running from them are protected by one global spinlock so
that only one garbage collector can run at any moment and other
namespaces have to wait. As most relevant data structures are separated
per netns, there is little reason for garbage collectors blocking each
other.
Similar problem exists for walkers: changes in one tree do not need to
adjust (and block) walkers traversing FIB trees in other namespaces.
This series separates both the walkers infrastructure and garbage
collector so that they work independently in network namespaces.
v2: get rid of ifdef in ipv6_route_seq_setup_walk(), pass net from
callers instead

One of our customers observed issues with FIB6 garbage collectors
running in different network namespaces blocking each other, resulting
in soft lockups (fib6_run_gc() initiated from timer runs always in
forced mode).
Now that FIB6 walkers are separated per namespace, there is no more need
for instances of fib6_run_gc() in different namespaces blocking each
other. There is still a call to icmp6_dst_gc() which operates on shared
data but this function is protected by its own shared lock.

The IPv6 FIB data structures are separated per network namespace but
there is still only one global walkers list and one global walker list
lock. This means changes in one namespace unnecessarily interfere with
walkers in other namespaces.
Replace the global list with per-netns lists (and give each its own
lock).

Global variable gc_args is only used in fib6_run_gc() and functions
called from it. As fib6_run_gc() makes sure there is at most one
instance of fib6_clean_all() running at any moment, we can replace
gc_args with a local variable which will be needed once multiple
instances (per netns) of garbage collector are allowed.
