ee9c5e6755 openvswitch: convert to kvmalloc
Patch series "generic radix trees; drop flex arrays".

This patch (of 7):

There was no real need for this code to be using flexarrays, it's just
implementing a hash table - ideally it would be using rhashtables, but
that conversion would be significantly more complicated.

c4b2bf6b4a openvswitch: Optimize operations for OvS flow_stats.
When calling the flow_free() to free the flow, we call many times
(cpu_possible_mask, eg. 128 as default) cpumask_next(). That will
take up our CPU usage if we call the flow_free() frequently.
When we put all packets to userspace via upcall, and OvS will send
them back via netlink to ovs_packet_cmd_execute(will call flow_free).

The test topo is shown as below. VM01 sends TCP packets to VM02,
and OvS forward packtets. When testing, we use perf to report the
system performance.

VM01 --- OvS-VM --- VM02

Without this patch, perf-top show as below: The flow_free() is
3.02% CPU usage.

	4.23%  [kernel]            [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
	3.62%  [kernel]            [k] __do_softirq
	3.16%  [kernel]            [k] __memcpy
	3.02%  [kernel]            [k] flow_free
	2.42%  libc-2.17.so        [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back
	2.18%  [kernel]            [k] copy_user_generic_unrolled
	2.17%  [kernel]            [k] find_next_bit

When applied this patch, perf-top show as below: Not shown on
the list anymore.

	4.11%  [kernel]            [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
	3.79%  [kernel]            [k] __do_softirq

	1.89%  libc-2.17.so        [.] _int_malloc
	1.53%  ovs-vswitchd        [.] xlate_actions

With this patch, the TCP throughput(we dont use Megaflow Cache
+ Microflow Cache) between VMs is 1.18Gbs/sec up to 1.30Gbs/sec
(maybe ~10% performance imporve).

This patch adds cpumask struct, the cpu_used_mask stores the cpu_id
that the flow used. And we only check the flow_stats on the cpu we
used, and it is unncessary to check all possible cpu when getting,
cleaning, and updating the flow_stats. Adding the cpu_used_mask to
sw_flow struct does’t increase the cacheline number.

db74a3335e openvswitch: use percpu flow stats
Instead of using flow stats per NUMA node, use it per CPU. When using
megaflows, the stats lock can be a bottleneck in scalability.

On a E5-2690 12-core system, usual throughput went from ~4Mpps to
~15Mpps when forwarding between two 40GbE ports with a single flow
configured on the datapath.

This has been tested on a system with possible CPUs 0-7,16-23. After
module removal, there were no corruption on the slab cache.

40773966cc openvswitch: fix flow stats accounting when node 0 is not possible
On a system with only node 1 as possible, all statistics is going to be
accounted on node 0 as it will have a single writer.

However, when getting and clearing the statistics, node 0 is not going
to be considered, as it's not a possible node.

Tested that statistics are not zero on a system with only node 1
possible. Also compile-tested with CONFIG_NUMA off.

ae5f2fb1d5 openvswitch: Zero flows on allocation.
When support for megaflows was introduced, OVS needed to start
installing flows with a mask applied to them. Since masking is an
expensive operation, OVS also had an optimization that would only
take the parts of the flow keys that were covered by a non-zero
mask. The values stored in the remaining pieces should not matter
because they are masked out.

While this works fine for the purposes of matching (which must always
look at the mask), serialization to netlink can be problematic. Since
the flow and the mask are serialized separately, the uninitialized
portions of the flow can be encoded with whatever values happen to be
present.

In terms of functionality, this has little effect since these fields
will be masked out by definition. However, it leaks kernel memory to
userspace, which is a potential security vulnerability. It is also
possible that other code paths could look at the masked key and get
uninitialized data, although this does not currently appear to be an
issue in practice.

This removes the mask optimization for flows that are being installed.
This was always intended to be the case as the mask optimizations were
really targetting per-packet flow operations.

bac541e463 openvswitch: allocate nr_node_ids flow_stats instead of num_possible_nodes
Some architectures like POWER can have a NUMA node_possible_map that
contains sparse entries. This causes memory corruption with openvswitch
since it allocates flow_cache with a multiple of num_possible_nodes() and
assumes the node variable returned by for_each_node will index into
flow->stats[node].

Use nr_node_ids to allocate a maximal sparse array instead of
num_possible_nodes().

The crash was noticed after 3af229f2 was applied as it changed the
node_possible_map to match node_online_map on boot.

74ed7ab926 openvswitch: Add support for unique flow IDs.
Previously, flows were manipulated by userspace specifying a full,
unmasked flow key. This adds significant burden onto flow
serialization/deserialization, particularly when dumping flows.

This patch adds an alternative way to refer to flows using a
variable-length "unique flow identifier" (UFID). At flow setup time,
userspace may specify a UFID for a flow, which is stored with the flow
and inserted into a separate table for lookup, in addition to the
standard flow table. Flows created using a UFID must be fetched or
deleted using the UFID.

All flow dump operations may now be made more terse with OVS_UFID_F_*
flags. For example, the OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_KEY flag allows responses to
omit the flow key from a datapath operation if the flow has a
corresponding UFID. This significantly reduces the time spent assembling
and transacting netlink messages. With all OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_* flags
enabled, the datapath only returns the UFID and statistics for each flow
during flow dump, increasing ovs-vswitchd revalidator performance by 40%
or more.

87545899b5 net: replace remaining users of arch_fast_hash with jhash
This patch effectively reverts commit 500f808726 ("net: ovs: use CRC32
accelerated flow hash if available"), and other remaining arch_fast_hash()
users such as from nfsd via commit 6282cd5655 ("NFSD: Don't hand out
delegations for 30 seconds after recalling them.") where it has been used
as a hash function for bloom filtering.

While we think that these users are actually not much of concern, it has
been requested to remove the arch_fast_hash() library bits that arose
from [1] entirely as per recent discussion [2]. The main argument is that
using it as a hash may introduce bias due to its linearity (see avalanche
criterion) and thus makes it less clear (though we tried to document that)
when this security/performance trade-off is actually acceptable for a
general purpose library function.

Lets therefore avoid any further confusion on this matter and remove it to
prevent any future accidental misuse of it. For the time being, this is
going to make hashing of flow keys a bit more expensive in the ovs case,
but future work could reevaluate a different hashing discipline.

4a46b24e14 openvswitch: Use exact lookup for flow_get and flow_del.
Due to the race condition in userspace, there is chance that two
overlapping megaflows could be installed in datapath.  And this
causes userspace unable to delete the less inclusive megaflow flow
even after it timeout, since the flow_del logic will stop at the
first match of masked flow.

This commit fixes the bug by making the kernel flow_del and flow_get
logic check all masks in that case.

63e7959c4b openvswitch: Per NUMA node flow stats.
Keep kernel flow stats for each NUMA node rather than each (logical)
CPU.  This avoids using the per-CPU allocator and removes most of the
kernel-side OVS locking overhead otherwise on the top of perf reports
and allows OVS to scale better with higher number of threads.

With 9 handlers and 4 revalidators netperf TCP_CRR test flow setup
rate doubles on a server with two hyper-threaded physical CPUs (16
logical cores each) compared to the current OVS master.  Tested with
non-trivial flow table with a TCP port match rule forcing all new
connections with unique port numbers to OVS userspace.  The IP
addresses are still wildcarded, so the kernel flows are not considered
as exact match 5-tuple flows.  This type of flows can be expected to
appear in large numbers as the result of more effective wildcarding
made possible by improvements in OVS userspace flow classifier.

There is a small increase in kernel spinlock overhead due to the same
spinlock being shared between multiple cores of the same physical CPU,
but that is barely visible in the netperf TCP_CRR test performance
(maybe ~1% performance drop, hard to tell exactly due to variance in
the test results), when testing for kernel module throughput (with no
userspace activity, handful of kernel flows).

On flow setup, a single stats instance is allocated (for the NUMA node
0).  As CPUs from multiple NUMA nodes start updating stats, new
NUMA-node specific stats instances are allocated.  This allocation on
the packet processing code path is made to never block or look for
emergency memory pools, minimizing the allocation latency.  If the
allocation fails, the existing preallocated stats instance is used.
Also, if only CPUs from one NUMA-node are updating the preallocated
stats instance, no additional stats instances are allocated.  This
eliminates the need to pre-allocate stats instances that will not be
used, also relieving the stats reader from the burden of reading stats
that are never used.

ovs_flow_free() is not called under ovs-lock during packet
execute path (ovs_packet_cmd_execute()). Since packet execute
does not touch flow->mask, there is no need to take that
lock either. So move assert in case where flow->mask is checked.

====================
[GIT net-next] Open vSwitch

Open vSwitch changes for net-next/3.14. Highlights are:
 * Performance improvements in the mechanism to get packets to userspace
   using memory mapped netlink and skb zero copy where appropriate.
 * Per-cpu flow stats in situations where flows are likely to be shared
   across CPUs. Standard flow stats are used in other situations to save
   memory and allocation time.
 * A handful of code cleanups and rationalization.

e298e50570 openvswitch: Per cpu flow stats.
With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between
multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended
operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow
is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple
and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations,
it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time.

500f808726 net: ovs: use CRC32 accelerated flow hash if available
Currently OVS uses jhash2() for calculating flow hashes in its
internal flow_hash() function. The performance of the flow_hash()
function is critical, as the input data can be hundreds of bytes
long.

OVS is largely deployed in x86_64 based datacenters.  Therefore,
we argue that the performance critical fast path of OVS should
exploit underlying CPU features in order to reduce the per packet
processing costs. We replace jhash2 with the hash implementation
provided by the kernel hash lib, which exploits the crc32l
instruction to achieve high performance

Our patch greatly reduces the hash footprint from ~200 cycles of
jhash2() to around ~90 cycles in case of ovs_flow_hash_crc()
(measured with rdtsc over maximum length flow keys on an i7 Intel
CPU).

Additionally, we wrote a microbenchmark to stress the flow table
performance. The benchmark inserts random flows into the flow
hash and then performs lookups. Our hash deployed on a CRC32
capable CPU reduces the lookup for 1000 flows, 100 masks from
~10,100us to ~6,700us, for example.

Thus, simply use the newly introduced arch_fast_hash2() as a
drop-in replacement.
