net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion control algorithm
This work adds the DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control
algorithm [1], which has been first published at SIGCOMM 2010 [2],
resp. follow-up analysis at SIGMETRICS 2011 [3] (and also, more
recently as an informational IETF draft available at [4]).
DCTCP is an enhancement to the TCP congestion control algorithm for
data center networks. Typical data center workloads are i.e.
i) partition/aggregate (queries; bursty, delay sensitive), ii) short
messages e.g. 50KB-1MB (for coordination and control state; delay
sensitive), and iii) large flows e.g. 1MB-100MB (data update;
throughput sensitive). DCTCP has therefore been designed for such
environments to provide/achieve the following three requirements:
* High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate)
* Low latency (short flows, queries)
* High throughput (continuous data updates, large file
transfers) with commodity, shallow buffered switches
The basic idea of its design consists of two fundamentals: i) on the
switch side, packets are being marked when its internal queue
length > threshold K (K is chosen so that a large enough headroom
for marked traffic is still available in the switch queue); ii) the
sender/host side maintains a moving average of the fraction of marked
packets, so each RTT, F is being updated as follows:
F := X / Y, where X is # of marked ACKs, Y is total # of ACKs
alpha := (1 - g) * alpha + g * F, where g is a smoothing constant
The resulting alpha (iow: probability that switch queue is congested)
is then being used in order to adaptively decrease the congestion
window W:
W := (1 - (alpha / 2)) * W
The means for receiving marked packets resp. marking them on switch
side in DCTCP is the use of ECN.
RFC3168 describes a mechanism for using Explicit Congestion Notification
from the switch for early detection of congestion, rather than waiting
for segment loss to occur.
However, this method only detects the presence of congestion, not
the *extent*. In the presence of mild congestion, it reduces the TCP
congestion window too aggressively and unnecessarily affects the
throughput of long flows [4].
DCTCP, as mentioned, enhances Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
processing to estimate the fraction of bytes that encounter congestion,
rather than simply detecting that some congestion has occurred. DCTCP
then scales the TCP congestion window based on this estimate [4],
thus it can derive multibit feedback from the information present in
the single-bit sequence of marks in its control law. And thus act in
*proportion* to the extent of congestion, not its *presence*.
Switches therefore set the Congestion Experienced (CE) codepoint in
packets when internal queue lengths exceed threshold K. Resulting,
DCTCP delivers the same or better throughput than normal TCP, while
using 90% less buffer space.
It was found in [2] that DCTCP enables the applications to handle 10x
the current background traffic, without impacting foreground traffic.
Moreover, a 10x increase in foreground traffic did not cause any
timeouts, and thus largely eliminates TCP incast collapse problems.
The algorithm itself has already seen deployments in large production
data centers since then.
We did a long-term stress-test and analysis in a data center, short
summary of our TCP incast tests with iperf compared to cubic:
This test measured DCTCP throughput and latency and compared it with
CUBIC throughput and latency for an incast scenario. In this test, 19
senders sent at maximum rate to a single receiver. The receiver simply
ran iperf -s.
The senders ran iperf -c <receiver> -t 30. All senders started
simultaneously (using local clocks synchronized by ntp).
This test was repeated multiple times. Below shows the results from a
single test. Other tests are similar. (DCTCP results were extremely
consistent, CUBIC results show some variance induced by the TCP timeouts
that CUBIC encountered.)
For this test, we report statistics on the number of TCP timeouts,
flow throughput, and traffic latency.
1) Timeouts (total over all flows, and per flow summaries):
CUBIC DCTCP
Total 3227 25
Mean 169.842 1.316
Median 183 1
Max 207 5
Min 123 0
Stddev 28.991 1.600
Timeout data is taken by measuring the net change in netstat -s
"other TCP timeouts" reported. As a result, the timeout measurements
above are not restricted to the test traffic, and we believe that it
is likely that all of the "DCTCP timeouts" are actually timeouts for
non-test traffic. We report them nevertheless. CUBIC will also include
some non-test timeouts, but they are drawfed by bona fide test traffic
timeouts for CUBIC. Clearly DCTCP does an excellent job of preventing
TCP timeouts. DCTCP reduces timeouts by at least two orders of
magnitude and may well have eliminated them in this scenario.
2) Throughput (per flow in Mbps):
CUBIC DCTCP
Mean 521.684 521.895
Median 464 523
Max 776 527
Min 403 519
Stddev 105.891 2.601
Fairness 0.962 0.999
Throughput data was simply the average throughput for each flow
reported by iperf. By avoiding TCP timeouts, DCTCP is able to
achieve much better per-flow results. In CUBIC, many flows
experience TCP timeouts which makes flow throughput unpredictable and
unfair. DCTCP, on the other hand, provides very clean predictable
throughput without incurring TCP timeouts. Thus, the standard deviation
of CUBIC throughput is dramatically higher than the standard deviation
of DCTCP throughput.
Mean throughput is nearly identical because even though cubic flows
suffer TCP timeouts, other flows will step in and fill the unused
bandwidth. Note that this test is something of a best case scenario
for incast under CUBIC: it allows other flows to fill in for flows
experiencing a timeout. Under situations where the receiver is issuing
requests and then waiting for all flows to complete, flows cannot fill
in for timed out flows and throughput will drop dramatically.
3) Latency (in ms):
CUBIC DCTCP
Mean 4.0088 0.04219
Median 4.055 0.0395
Max 4.2 0.085
Min 3.32 0.028
Stddev 0.1666 0.01064
Latency for each protocol was computed by running "ping -i 0.2
<receiver>" from a single sender to the receiver during the incast
test. For DCTCP, "ping -Q 0x6 -i 0.2 <receiver>" was used to ensure
that traffic traversed the DCTCP queue and was not dropped when the
queue size was greater than the marking threshold. The summary
statistics above are over all ping metrics measured between the single
sender, receiver pair.
The latency results for this test show a dramatic difference between
CUBIC and DCTCP. CUBIC intentionally overflows the switch buffer
which incurs the maximum queue latency (more buffer memory will lead
to high latency.) DCTCP, on the other hand, deliberately attempts to
keep queue occupancy low. The result is a two orders of magnitude
reduction of latency with DCTCP - even with a switch with relatively
little RAM. Switches with larger amounts of RAM will incur increasing
amounts of latency for CUBIC, but not for DCTCP.
4) Convergence and stability test:
This test measured the time that DCTCP took to fairly redistribute
bandwidth when a new flow commences. It also measured DCTCP's ability
to remain stable at a fair bandwidth distribution. DCTCP is compared
with CUBIC for this test.
At the commencement of this test, a single flow is sending at maximum
rate (near 10 Gbps) to a single receiver. One second after that first
flow commences, a new flow from a distinct server begins sending to
the same receiver as the first flow. After the second flow has sent
data for 10 seconds, the second flow is terminated. The first flow
sends for an additional second. Ideally, the bandwidth would be evenly
shared as soon as the second flow starts, and recover as soon as it
stops.
The results of this test are shown below. Note that the flow bandwidth
for the two flows was measured near the same time, but not
simultaneously.
DCTCP performs nearly perfectly within the measurement limitations
of this test: bandwidth is quickly distributed fairly between the two
flows, remains stable throughout the duration of the test, and
recovers quickly. CUBIC, in contrast, is slow to divide the bandwidth
fairly, and has trouble remaining stable.

SYN/ACK ECT test:
This test demonstrates the importance of ECT on SYN and SYN-ACK packets
by measuring the connection probability in the presence of competing
flows for a DCTCP connection attempt *without* ECT in the SYN packet.
The test was repeated five times for each number of competing flows.
Competing Flows 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16
------------------------------
Mean Connection Probability 1 | 0.67 | 0.45 | 0.28 | 0
Median Connection Probability 1 | 0.65 | 0.45 | 0.25 | 0
As the number of competing flows moves beyond 1, the connection
probability drops rapidly.
Enabling DCTCP with this patch requires the following steps:
DCTCP must be running both on the sender and receiver side in your
data center, i.e.:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=dctcp
Also, ECN functionality must be enabled on all switches in your
data center for DCTCP to work. The default ECN marking threshold (K)
heuristic on the switch for DCTCP is e.g., 20 packets (30KB) at
1Gbps, and 65 packets (~100KB) at 10Gbps (K > 1/7 * C * RTT, [4]).
In above tests, for each switch port, traffic was segregated into two
queues. For any packet with a DSCP of 0x01 - or equivalently a TOS of
0x04 - the packet was placed into the DCTCP queue. All other packets
were placed into the default drop-tail queue. For the DCTCP queue,
RED/ECN marking was enabled, here, with a marking threshold of 75 KB.
More details however, we refer you to the paper [2] under section 3).
There are no code changes required to applications running in user
space. DCTCP has been implemented in full *isolation* of the rest of
the TCP code as its own congestion control module, so that it can run
without a need to expose code to the core of the TCP stack, and thus
nothing changes for non-DCTCP users.
Changes in the CA framework code are minimal, and DCTCP algorithm
operates on mechanisms that are already available in most Silicon.
The gain (dctcp_shift_g) is currently a fixed constant (1/16) from
the paper, but we leave the option that it can be chosen carefully
to a different value by the user.
In case DCTCP is being used and ECN support on peer site is off,
DCTCP falls back after 3WHS to operate in normal TCP Reno mode.

net: tcp: more detailed ACK events and events for CE marked packets
DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) determines cwnd growth based on ECN information
and ACK properties, e.g. ACK that updates window is treated differently
than DUPACK.
Also DCTCP needs information whether ACK was delayed ACK. Furthermore,
DCTCP also implements a CE state machine that keeps track of CE markings
of incoming packets.
Therefore, extend the congestion control framework to provide these
event types, so that DCTCP can be properly implemented as a normal
congestion algorithm module outside of the core stack.

net: tcp: add flag for ca to indicate that ECN is required
This patch adds a flag to TCP congestion algorithms that allows
for requesting to mark IPv4/IPv6 sockets with transport as ECN
capable, that is, ECT(0), when required by a congestion algorithm.
It is currently used and needed in DataCenter TCP (DCTCP), as it
requires both peers to assert ECT on all IP packets sent - it
uses ECN feedback (i.e. CE, Congestion Encountered information)
from switches inside the data center to derive feedback to the
end hosts.
Therefore, simply add a new flag to icsk_ca_ops. Note that DCTCP's
algorithm/behaviour slightly diverges from RFC3168, therefore this
is only (!) enabled iff the assigned congestion control ops module
has requested this. By that, we can tightly couple this logic really
only to the provided congestion control ops.

Split assignment and initialization from one into two functions.
This is required by followup patches that add Datacenter TCP

3WHS has finished.
As we walk the available congestion control list during the
assignment, we are always guaranteed to have Reno present as
it's fixed compiled-in. Therefore, since we're doing the
early assignment, we don't have a real use for the Reno alias
tcp_init_congestion_ops anymore and can thus remove it.
Actual usage of the congestion control operations are being
made after the 3WHS has finished, in some cases however we

dql: dql_queued() should write first to reduce bus transactions
While doing high throughput test on a BQL enabled NIC,

The TX completion was running from another cpu, with high interrupts

tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() location
Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in
a write or receive queue when doing the various walks.
After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done.
Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses
skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs
3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and
shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb)
This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn
only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in
write queue.
This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags
to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible.
This also speeds up all sack processing in general.
This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty

What really matters for TCP stack is to get skb->next,

tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses
TCP maintains lists of skb in write queue, and in receive queues
(in order and out of order queues)
Scanning these lists both in input and output path usually requires
access to skb->next, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq
These fields are currently in two different cache lines, meaning we
waste lot of memory bandwidth when these queues are big and flows
have either packet drops or packet reorders.
We can move TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at the end of TCP_SKB_CB, because
this header is not used in fast path. This allows TCP to search much faster
in the skb lists.
Even with regular flows, we save one cache line miss in fast path.
Thanks to Christoph Paasch for noticing we need to cleanup
skb->cb[] (IPCB/IP6CB) before entering IP stack in tx path,
and that I forgot IPCB use in tcp_v4_hnd_req() and tcp_v4_save_options().

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-23
This patch series adds support for the FM10000 Ethernet switch host
interface. The Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch is a 48-port Ethernet switch
supporting both Ethernet ports and PCI Express host interfaces. The fm10k
driver provides support for the host interface portion of the switch, both
PF and VF.
As the host interfaces are directly connected to the switch this results in
some significant differences versus a standard network driver. For example
there is no PHY or MII on the device. Since packets are delivered directly
from the switch to the host interface these are unnecessary. Otherwise most
of the functionality is very similar to our other network drivers such as
ixgbe or igb. For example we support all the standard network offloads,
jumbo frames, SR-IOV (64 VFS), PTP, and some VXLAN and NVGRE offloads.

BPF(2) Linux Programmer's Manual BPF(2)
NAME
bpf - perform a command on eBPF map or program
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/bpf.h>
int bpf(int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size);
DESCRIPTION
bpf() syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on
eBPF which can be characterized as "universal in-kernel virtual
machine". eBPF is similar to original Berkeley Packet Filter (or
"classic BPF") used to filter network packets. Both statically analyze
the programs before loading them into the kernel to ensure that
programs cannot harm the running system.
eBPF extends classic BPF in multiple ways including ability to call in-
kernel helper functions and access shared data structures like eBPF
maps. The programs can be written in a restricted C that is compiled
into eBPF bytecode and executed on the eBPF virtual machine or JITed
into native instruction set.
eBPF Design/Architecture
eBPF maps is a generic storage of different types. User process can
create multiple maps (with key/value being opaque bytes of data) and
access them via file descriptor. In parallel eBPF programs can access
maps from inside the kernel. It's up to user process and eBPF program
to decide what they store inside maps.
eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the
user process and automatically unloaded when process exits. Each eBPF
program is a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier
statically determines that the program terminates and is safe to
execute. During verification the program takes a hold of maps that it
intends to use, so selected maps cannot be removed until the program is
unloaded. The program can be attached to different events. These events
can be packets, tracepoint events and other types in the future. A new
event triggers execution of the program which may store information
about the event in the maps. Beyond storing data the programs may call
into in-kernel helper functions which may, for example, dump stack, do
trace_printk or other forms of live kernel debugging. The same program
can be attached to multiple events. Different programs can access the
same map:
tracepoint tracepoint tracepoint sk_buff sk_buff
event A event B event C on eth0 on eth1

Syscall Arguments
bpf() syscall operation is determined by cmd which can be one of the
following:
BPF_MAP_CREATE
Create a map with given type and attributes and return map FD
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
Lookup element by key in a given map and return its value
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM

BPF_PROG_LOAD
Verify and load eBPF program
attr is a pointer to a union of type bpf_attr as defined below.
size is the size of the union.
union bpf_attr {
struct { /* anonymous struct used by BPF_MAP_CREATE command */
__u32 map_type;
__u32 key_size; /* size of key in bytes */
__u32 value_size; /* size of value in bytes */
__u32 max_entries; /* max number of entries in a map */
};
struct { /* anonymous struct used by BPF_MAP_*_ELEM commands */
__u32 map_fd;
__aligned_u64 key;
union {
__aligned_u64 value;
__aligned_u64 next_key;
};
};
struct { /* anonymous struct used by BPF_PROG_LOAD command */
__u32 prog_type;
__u32 insn_cnt;
__aligned_u64 insns; /* 'const struct bpf_insn *' */
__aligned_u64 license; /* 'const char *' */
__u32 log_level; /* verbosity level of eBPF verifier */
__u32 log_size; /* size of user buffer */
__aligned_u64 log_buf; /* user supplied 'char *' buffer */
};
} __attribute__((aligned(8)));
eBPF maps
maps is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between
kernel and userspace.
Any map type has the following attributes:
. type
. max number of elements
. key size in bytes
. value size in bytes
The following wrapper functions demonstrate how this syscall can be
used to access the maps. The functions use the cmd argument to invoke
different operations.
BPF_MAP_CREATE
int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size,
int value_size, int max_entries)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_type = map_type,
.key_size = key_size,
.value_size = value_size,
.max_entries = max_entries
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
bpf() syscall creates a map of map_type type and given
attributes key_size, value_size, max_entries. On success it
returns process-local file descriptor. On error, -1 is returned
and errno is set to EINVAL or EPERM or ENOMEM.
The attributes key_size and value_size will be used by verifier
during program loading to check that program is calling
bpf_map_*_elem() helper functions with correctly initialized key
and that program doesn't access map element value beyond
specified value_size. For example, when map is created with
key_size = 8 and program does:
bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, fp - 4)
such program will be rejected, since in-kernel helper function
bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, void *key) expects to read 8 bytes
from 'key' pointer, but 'fp - 4' starting address will cause out
of bounds stack access.
Similarly, when map is created with value_size = 1 and program
does:
value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...);
*(u32 *)value = 1;
such program will be rejected, since it accesses value pointer
beyond specified 1 byte value_size limit.
Currently only hash table map_type is supported:
enum bpf_map_type {
BPF_MAP_TYPE_UNSPEC,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
};
map_type selects one of the available map implementations in
kernel. For all map_types eBPF programs access maps with the
same bpf_map_lookup_elem()/bpf_map_update_elem() helper
functions.
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
int bpf_lookup_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.value = ptr_to_u64(value),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
bpf() syscall looks up an element with given key in a map fd.
If element is found it returns zero and stores element's value
into value. If element is not found it returns -1 and sets
errno to ENOENT.
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
int bpf_update_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.value = ptr_to_u64(value),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
The call creates or updates element with given key/value in a
map fd. On success it returns zero. On error, -1 is returned
and errno is set to EINVAL or EPERM or ENOMEM or E2BIG. E2BIG
indicates that number of elements in the map reached max_entries
limit specified at map creation time.
BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM
int bpf_delete_elem(int fd, void *key)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
The call deletes an element in a map fd with given key. Returns
zero on success. If element is not found it returns -1 and sets
errno to ENOENT.
BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY
int bpf_get_next_key(int fd, void *key, void *next_key)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.next_key = ptr_to_u64(next_key),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
The call looks up an element by key in a given map fd and
returns key of the next element into next_key pointer. If key is
not found, it return zero and returns key of the first element
into next_key. If key is the last element, it returns -1 and
sets errno to ENOENT. Other possible errno values are ENOMEM,
EFAULT, EPERM, EINVAL. This method can be used to iterate over
all elements of the map.
close(map_fd)
will delete the map map_fd. Exiting process will delete all
maps automatically.
eBPF programs
BPF_PROG_LOAD
This cmd is used to load eBPF program into the kernel.
char bpf_log_buf[LOG_BUF_SIZE];
int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type,
const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt,
const char *license)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.prog_type = prog_type,
.insns = ptr_to_u64(insns),
.insn_cnt = insn_cnt,
.license = ptr_to_u64(license),
.log_buf = ptr_to_u64(bpf_log_buf),
.log_size = LOG_BUF_SIZE,
.log_level = 1,
};
return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
prog_type is one of the available program types:
enum bpf_prog_type {
BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC,
BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET,
BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING,
};
By picking prog_type program author selects a set of helper
functions callable from eBPF program and corresponding format of
struct bpf_context (which is the data blob passed into the
program as the first argument). For example, the programs
loaded with prog_type = TYPE_TRACING may call bpf_printk()
helper, whereas TYPE_SOCKET programs may not. The set of
functions available to the programs under given type may
increase in the future.
Currently the set of functions for TYPE_TRACING is:
bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, void *key) // lookup key in a map_fd
bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd, void *key, void *value) // update key/value
bpf_map_delete_elem(map_fd, void *key) // delete key in a map_fd
bpf_ktime_get_ns(void) // returns current ktime
bpf_printk(char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) // prints into trace buffer
bpf_memcmp(void *ptr1, void *ptr2, int size) // non-faulting memcmp
bpf_fetch_ptr(void *ptr) // non-faulting load pointer from any address
bpf_fetch_u8(void *ptr) // non-faulting 1 byte load
bpf_fetch_u16(void *ptr) // other non-faulting loads
bpf_fetch_u32(void *ptr)
bpf_fetch_u64(void *ptr)
and bpf_context is defined as:
struct bpf_context {
/* argN fields match one to one to arguments passed to trace events */
u64 arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6;
/* return value from kretprobe event or from syscall_exit event */
u64 ret;
};
The set of helper functions for TYPE_SOCKET is TBD.
More program types may be added in the future. Like
BPF_PROG_TYPE_USER_TRACING for unprivileged programs.
BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC is used for testing only. Such programs
cannot be attached to events.
insns array of "struct bpf_insn" instructions
insn_cnt number of instructions in the program
license license string, which must be GPL compatible to call
helper functions marked gpl_only
log_buf user supplied buffer that in-kernel verifier is using to
store verification log. Log is a multi-line string that should
be used by program author to understand how verifier came to
conclusion that program is unsafe. The format of the output can
change at any time as verifier evolves.
log_size size of user buffer. If size of the buffer is not large
enough to store all verifier messages, -1 is returned and errno
is set to ENOSPC.
log_level verbosity level of eBPF verifier, where zero means no
logs provided
close(prog_fd)
will unload eBPF program
The maps are accesible from programs and generally tie the two
together. Programs process various events (like tracepoint, kprobe,
packets) and store the data into maps. User space fetches data from
maps. Either the same or a different map may be used by user space as
configuration space to alter program behavior on the fly.
Events
Once an eBPF program is loaded, it can be attached to an event. Various
kernel subsystems have different ways to do so. For example:
setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd));
will attach the program prog_fd to socket sock which was received by
prior call to socket().
ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
will attach the program prog_fd to perf event event_fd which was
received by prior call to perf_event_open().
Another way to attach the program to a tracing event is:
event_fd = open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/skb/kfree_skb/filter");
write(event_fd, "bpf-123"); /* where 123 is eBPF program FD */
/* here program is attached and will be triggered by events */
close(event_fd); /* to detach from event */
EXAMPLES
/* eBPF+sockets example:
* 1. create map with maximum of 2 elements
* 2. set map[6] = 0 and map[17] = 0
* 3. load eBPF program that counts number of TCP and UDP packets received
* via map[skb->ip->proto]++
* 4. attach prog_fd to raw socket via setsockopt()

RETURN VALUE
For a successful call, the return value depends on the operation:
BPF_MAP_CREATE
The new file descriptor associated with eBPF map.
BPF_PROG_LOAD
The new file descriptor associated with eBPF program.
All other commands
Zero.
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EPERM bpf() syscall was made without sufficient privilege (without the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).
ENOMEM Cannot allocate sufficient memory.
EBADF fd is not an open file descriptor
EFAULT One of the pointers ( key or value or log_buf or insns ) is
outside accessible address space.
EINVAL The value specified in cmd is not recognized by this kernel.
EINVAL For BPF_MAP_CREATE, either map_type or attributes are invalid.
EINVAL For BPF_MAP_*_ELEM commands, some of the fields of "union
bpf_attr" unused by this command are not set to zero.
EINVAL For BPF_PROG_LOAD, attempt to load invalid program (unrecognized
instruction or uses reserved fields or jumps out of range or
loop detected or calls unknown function).
EACCES For BPF_PROG_LOAD, though program has valid instructions, it was
rejected, since it was deemed unsafe (may access disallowed
memory region or uninitialized stack/register or function
constraints don't match actual types or misaligned access). In
such case it is recommended to call bpf() again with log_level =
1 and examine log_buf for specific reason provided by verifier.
ENOENT For BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM or BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, indicates that
element with given key was not found.
E2BIG program is too large or a map reached max_entries limit (max
number of elements).
NOTES
These commands may be used only by a privileged process (one having the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).

bpf: verifier (add verifier core)
This patch adds verifier core which simulates execution of every insn and
records the state of registers and program stack. Every branch instruction seen
during simulation is pushed into state stack. When verifier reaches BPF_EXIT,
it pops the state from the stack and continues until it reaches BPF_EXIT again.
For program:
1: bpf_mov r1, xxx
2: if (r1 == 0) goto 5
3: bpf_mov r0, 1
4: goto 6
5: bpf_mov r0, 2
6: bpf_exit
The verifier will walk insns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
then it will pop the state recorded at insn#2 and will continue: 5, 6
This way it walks all possible paths through the program and checks all
possible values of registers. While doing so, it checks for:
- invalid instructions
- uninitialized register access
- uninitialized stack access
- misaligned stack access
- out of range stack access
- invalid calling convention
- instruction encoding is not using reserved fields
Kernel subsystem configures the verifier with two callbacks:
- bool (*is_valid_access)(int off, int size, enum bpf_access_type type);
that provides information to the verifer which fields of 'ctx'
are accessible (remember 'ctx' is the first argument to eBPF program)
- const struct bpf_func_proto *(*get_func_proto)(enum bpf_func_id func_id);
returns argument constraints of kernel helper functions that eBPF program
may call, so that verifier can checks that R1-R5 types match the prototype

eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the user

a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier statically
determines that the program terminates and is safe to execute.
The following syscall wrapper can be used to load the program:

return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
where 'insns' is an array of eBPF instructions and 'license' is a string
that must be GPL compatible to call helper functions marked gpl_only
Upon succesful load the syscall returns prog_fd.

bpf: add lookup/update/delete/iterate methods to BPF maps
'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel

The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands:
- create a map with given type and attributes
fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
returns fd or negative error
- lookup key in a given map referenced by fd
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error
- create or update key/value pair in a given map
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
returns zero or negative error
- find and delete element by key in a given map
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key
- iterate map elements (based on input key return next_key)
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->next_key

bpf: introduce BPF syscall and maps
BPF syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on eBPF.
This patch introduces syscall with single command to create a map.
Next patch adds commands to access maps.
'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
and userspace.
Userspace example:
/* this syscall wrapper creates a map with given type and attributes
* and returns map_fd on success.
* use close(map_fd) to delete the map
*/
int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size,
int value_size, int max_entries)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_type = map_type,
.key_size = key_size,
.value_size = value_size,
.max_entries = max_entries
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
'union bpf_attr' is backwards compatible with future extensions.

net: sched: use pinned timers
While using a MQ + NETEM setup, I had confirmation that the default
timer migration ( /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration ) is killing us.
Installing this on a receiver side of a TCP_STREAM test, (NIC has 8 TX
queues) :
EST="est 1sec 4sec"
for ETH in eth1
do
tc qd del dev $ETH root 2>/dev/null
tc qd add dev $ETH root handle 1: mq
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:1 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 6ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:2 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 8ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:3 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 10ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:4 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 12ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:5 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 14ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:6 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 16ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:7 $EST netem limit 80000 delay 18ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:8 $EST netem limit 90000 delay 20ms
done
We can see that timers get migrated into a single cpu, presumably idle
at the time timers are set up.
Then all qdisc dequeues run from this cpu and huge lock contention
happens. This single cpu is stuck in softirq mode and cannot dequeue
fast enough.

By pinning qdisc timers on the cpu running the qdisc, we respect proper
XPS setting and remove this lock contention.

Tom Herbert says:
====================
net: Eliminate gso_send_check
gso_send_check presents a lot of complexity for what it is being used
for. It seems that there are only two cases where it might be effective:
TCP and UFO paths. In these cases, the gso_send_check function
initializes the TCP or UDP checksum respectively to the pseudo header
checksum so that the checksum computation is appropriately offloaded or
computed in the gso_segment functions. The gso_send_check functions
are only called from dev.c in skb_mac_gso_segment when ip_summed !=
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which seems very unlikely in TCP case). We can move
the logic of this into the respective gso_segment functions where the
checksum is initialized if ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
With the above cases handled, gso_send_check is no longer needed, so
we can remove all uses of it and the fields in the offload callbacks.
With this change, ip_summed in the skb should be preserved though all
the layers of gso_segment calls.
In follow-on patches, we may be able to remove the check setup code in
tcp_gso_segment if we can guarantee that ip_summed will always be
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (verify all paths and probably add an assert in
tcp_gro_segment).
Tested these patches by:
- netperf TCP_STREAM test with GSO enabled
- Forced ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with above
- Ran UDP_RR with 10000 request size over GRE tunnel. This exercised
UFO path.

sparc: bpf_jit: fix loads from negative offsets
- fix BPF_LD|ABS|IND from negative offsets:
make sure to sign extend lower 32 bits in 64-bit register
before calling C helpers from JITed code, otherwise 'int k'
argument of bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper() function
will be added as large unsigned integer, causing packet size
check to trigger and abort the program.
It's worth noting that JITed code for 'A = A op K' will affect
upper 32 bits differently depending whether K is simm13 or not.
Since small constants are sign extended, whereas large constants
are stored in temp register and zero extended.
That is ok and we don't have to pay a penalty of sign extension
for every sethi, since all classic BPF instructions have 32-bit
semantics and we only need to set correct upper bits when
transitioning from JITed code into C.
- though instructions 'A &= 0' and 'A *= 0' are odd, JIT compiler
should not optimize them out

blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe
blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.
Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds
when scsi-mq is used.
This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep
q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however,
that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to
apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment). As a
stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next
cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes
blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it. This is heavy-handed but should work
for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

crypto: aesni - disable "by8" AVX CTR optimization
The "by8" implementation introduced in commit
22cddcc7df8f ("crypto: aes
- AES CTR x86_64 "by8" AVX optimization") is failing crypto tests as it
handles counter block overflows differently. It only accounts the right
most 32 bit as a counter -- not the whole block as all other
implementations do. This makes it fail the cryptomgr test #4 that
specifically tests this corner case.
As we're quite late in the release cycle, just disable the "by8" variant
for now.

crypto: ccp - Check for CCP before registering crypto algs
If the ccp is built as a built-in module, then ccp-crypto (whether
built as a module or a built-in module) will be able to load and
it will register its crypto algorithms. If the system does not have
a CCP this will result in -ENODEV being returned whenever a command
is attempted to be queued by the registered crypto algorithms.
Add an API, ccp_present(), that checks for the presence of a CCP
on the system. The ccp-crypto module can use this to determine if it
should register it's crypto alogorithms.

"This week and last we've been fixing some corner cases related to
blk-mq, mostly. I ended up pulling most of that out of for-linus

This pull request contains:
- Fix from Christoph, avoiding a stack overflow when FUA insertion
would recursive infinitely.
- Fix from David Hildenbrand on races between the timeout handler and
uninitialized requests. Fixes a real issue that virtio_blk has run
into.
- A few fixes from me:
- Ensure that request deadline/timeout is ordered before the
request is marked as started.
- A potential oops on out-of-memory, when we scale the queue
depth of the device and retry.
- A hang fix on requeue from SCSI, where the hardware queue
would be stopped when we attempt to re-run it (and hence
nothing would happen, stalling progress).
- A fix for commit
2da78092, where the cleanup path was moved
to RCU, but a debug might_sleep() was inadvertently left in
the code. This causes warnings for people"
