net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics. Routing metrics are now copy-on-write. Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location. If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'. The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store more states. For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc. However future enhancements will change this to place the writable metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache. Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail if we cannot COW the metrics successfully. But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written to. TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location. Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout was necessary. Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state, as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks. The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the reference count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[NET]: Fix tbench regression in 2.6.25-rc1 Comparing with kernel 2.6.24, tbench result has regression with 2.6.25-rc1. 1) On 2 quad-core processor stoakley: 4%. 2) On 4 quad-core processor tigerton: more than 30%. bisect located below patch. b4ce92775c2e7ff9cf79cca4e0a19c8c5fd6287b is first bad commit commit b4ce92775c2e7ff9cf79cca4e0a19c8c5fd6287b Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Date: Tue Nov 13 21:33:32 2007 -0800 [IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_info The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6. It's also currently creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst. Therefore this patch moves it from there into struct rt6_info. Above patch changes the cache line alignment, especially member __refcnt. I did a testing by adding 2 unsigned long pading before lastuse, so the 3 members, lastuse/__refcnt/__use, are moved to next cache line. The performance is recovered. I created a patch to rearrange the members in struct dst_entry. With Eric and Valdis Kletnieks's suggestion, I made finer arrangement. 1) Move tclassid under ops in case CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y. So sizeof(dst_entry)=200 no matter if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y/n. I tested many patches on my 16-core tigerton by moving tclassid to different place. It looks like tclassid could also have impact on performance. If moving tclassid before metrics, or just don't move tclassid, the performance isn't good. So I move it behind metrics. 2) Add comments before __refcnt. On 16-core tigerton: If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y, the result with below patch is about 18% better than the one without the patch; If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=n, the result with below patch is about 30% better than the one without the patch. With 32bit 2.6.25-rc1 on 8-core stoakley, the new patch doesn't introduce regression. Thank Eric, Valdis, and David!

But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location. Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout was necessary. Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state, as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks. The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the reference count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

u32 *p = dst_metrics_write_ptr(dst);
net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics. Routing metrics are now copy-on-write. Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location. If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'. The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store more states. For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc. However future enhancements will change this to place the writable metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache. Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail if we cannot COW the metrics successfully. But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written to. TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location.
