Commit 227b60f510 added a seqlock to ensure that the low and high
port numbers were always updated together.
This is overkill because the two 16bit port numbers can be held in
a u32 and read/written in a single instruction.
More recently 91d0b78c51 added support for finer per-socket limits.
The user-supplied value is 'high << 16 | low' but they are held
separately and the socket options protected by the socket lock.
Use a u32 containing 'high << 16 | low' for both the 'net' and 'sk'
fields and use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to ensure both values are
always updated together.
Change (the now trival) inet_get_local_port_range() to a static inline
to optimise the calling code.
(In particular avoiding returning integers by reference.)

This idea came after a particular workload requested
the quickack attribute set on routes, and a performance
drop was noticed for large bulk transfers.
For high throughput flows, it is best to use one cpu
running the user thread issuing socket system calls,
and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context.
(With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu)
Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding
the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming
packets in the socket backlog.
Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first
process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially
adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many
packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops.
Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles
from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput.
This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing,
and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative.
The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing
and defer all eligible ACK into a single one,
sent from tcp_release_cb().
This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources.
Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC:
- Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000.
- Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0.
Benchmark context:
- Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy)
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids)
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet)
This feature is guarded by a new sysctl, and enabled by default:

With modern NIC drivers shifting to full page allocations per
received frame, we face the following issue:
TCP has one per-netns sysctl used to tweak how to translate
a memory use into an expected payload (RWIN), in RX path.
tcp_win_from_space() implementation is limited to few cases.
For hosts dealing with various MSS, we either under estimate
or over estimate the RWIN we send to the remote peers.
For instance with the default sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale value,
we expect to store 50% of payload per allocated chunk of memory.
For the typical use of MTU=1500 traffic, and order-0 pages allocations
by NIC drivers, we are sending too big RWIN, leading to potential
tcp collapse operations, which are extremely expensive and source
of latency spikes.
This patch makes sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale obsolete, and instead
uses a per socket scaling factor, so that we can precisely
adjust the RWIN based on effective skb->len/skb->truesize ratio.
This patch alone can double TCP receive performance when receivers
are too slow to drain their receive queue, or by allowing
a bigger RWIN when MSS is close to PAGE_SIZE.

Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit
set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data
packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be.
This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to
tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP.
To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing
nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop
of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms
in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer
to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2].
As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive
buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem
limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode.
The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity
of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back
to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in
RFC 7323, appendix F [1].
The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window.
In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the
current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2]
is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to
free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the
out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets
resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp
session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result
in a zero window and an indefinite wait.
In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It
is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data
fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK),
triggering a zero window.
But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples
are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of
data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly
encounter the problem described in [1].
RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted
window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure
that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122,
section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window
management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window
from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5].
This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window
when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by
autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with
the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window

Currently the SYN RTO schedule follows an exponential backoff
scheme, which can be unnecessarily conservative in cases where
there are link failures. In such cases, it's better to
aggressively try to retransmit packets, so it takes routers
less time to find a repath with a working link.
We chose a default value for this sysctl of 4, to follow

This changes the SYN RTO scheme to be: init_rto_val for
tcp_syn_linear_timeouts, exp backoff starting at init_rto_val
For example if init_rto_val = 1 and tcp_syn_linear_timeouts = 2, our

pernet tracking doesn't work correctly because other netns might have
set NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID on its event socket.
In this case its expected that events originating in other net
namespaces are also received.
Making pernet-tracking work while also honoring NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID
requires much more intrusive changes both in netlink and nfnetlink,
f.e. adding a 'setsockopt' callback that lets nfnetlink know that the
event socket entered (or left) ALL_NSID mode.
Move to global tracking instead: if there is an event socket anywhere
on the system, all net namespaces which have conntrack enabled and
use autobind mode will allocate the ecache extension.
netlink_has_listeners() returns false only if the given group has no
subscribers in any net namespace, the 'net' argument passed to
nfnetlink_has_listeners is only used to derive the protocol (nfnetlink),
it has no other effect.
For proper NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID-aware pernet tracking of event
listeners a new netlink_has_net_listeners() is also needed.

The maximum hash table size is 64K due to the nature of the protocol. [0]
It's smaller than TCP, and fewer sockets can cause a performance drop.
On an EC2 c5.24xlarge instance (192 GiB memory), after running iperf3 in
different netns, creating 32Mi sockets without data transfer in the root
netns causes regression for the iperf3's connection.
uhash_entries sockets length Gbps
64K 1 1 5.69
1Mi 16 5.27
2Mi 32 4.90
4Mi 64 4.09
8Mi 128 2.96
16Mi 256 2.06
32Mi 512 1.12
The per-netns hash table breaks the lengthy lists into shorter ones. It is
useful on a multi-tenant system with thousands of netns. With smaller hash
tables, we can look up sockets faster, isolate noisy neighbours, and reduce
lock contention.
The max size of the per-netns table is 64K as well. This is because the
possible hash range by udp_hashfn() always fits in 64K within the same
netns and we cannot make full use of the whole buckets larger than 64K.
/* 0 < num < 64K -> X < hash < X + 64K */
(num + net_hash_mix(net)) & mask;
Also, the min size is 128. We use a bitmap to search for an available
port in udp_lib_get_port(). To keep the bitmap on the stack and not
fire the CONFIG_FRAME_WARN error at build time, we round up the table
size to 128.
The sysctl usage is the same with TCP:
$ dmesg | cut -d ' ' -f 6- | grep "UDP hash"
UDP hash table entries: 65536 (order: 9, 2097152 bytes, vmalloc)
# sysctl net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries
net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries = 65536 # can be changed by uhash_entries
# sysctl net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries
net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries = 0 # disabled by default
# ip netns add test1
# ip netns exec test1 sysctl net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries
net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries = -65536 # share the global table
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries=100
net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries = 100
# ip netns add test2
# ip netns exec test2 sysctl net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries
net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries = 128 # own a per-netns table with 2^n buckets
We could optimise the hash table lookup/iteration further by removing
the netns comparison for the per-netns one in the future. Also, we
could optimise the sparse udp_hslot layout by putting it in udp_table.

changing the outgoing IPv6 flow label for IPv6 connections (implemented
in Linux by calling sk_rethink_txhash()). Because of this implementation

SMC-R tests the viability of link by sending out TEST_LINK LLC
messages over RoCE fabric when connections on link have been
idle for a time longer than keepalive interval (testlink time).
But using tcp_keepalive_time as testlink time maybe not quite
suitable because it is default no less than two hours[1], which
is too long for single link to find peer dead. The active host
will still use peer-dead link (QP) sending messages, and can't
find out until get IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR error CQEs, which takes
more time than TEST_LINK timeout (SMC_LLC_WAIT_TIME) normally.
So this patch introduces a independent sysctl for SMC-R to set
link keepalive time, in order to detect link down in time. The

resources than the others. It often happens on a cloud service where
different workloads share the same computing resource.
On EC2 c5.24xlarge instance (196 GiB memory and 524288 (1Mi / 2) ehash
entries), after running iperf3 in different netns, creating 24Mi sockets
without data transfer in the root netns causes about 10% performance
regression for the iperf3's connection.
thash_entries sockets length Gbps
524288 1 1 50.7
24Mi 48 45.1
It is basically related to the length of the list of each hash bucket.
For testing purposes to see how performance drops along the length,
I set 131072 (1Mi / 8) to thash_entries, and here's the result.
thash_entries sockets length Gbps
131072 1 1 50.7
1Mi 8 49.9
2Mi 16 48.9
4Mi 32 47.3
8Mi 64 44.6
16Mi 128 40.6
24Mi 192 36.3
32Mi 256 32.5
40Mi 320 27.0
48Mi 384 25.0
To resolve the socket lookup degradation, we introduce an optional
per-netns hash table for TCP, but it's just ehash, and we still share
the global bhash, bhash2 and lhash2.
With a smaller ehash, we can look up non-listener sockets faster and
isolate such noisy neighbours. In addition, we can reduce lock contention.
We can control the ehash size by a new sysctl knob. However, depending
on workloads, it will require very sensitive tuning, so we disable the
feature by default (net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries == 0). Moreover,
we can fall back to using the global ehash in case we fail to allocate
enough memory for a new ehash. The maximum size is 16Mi, which is large
enough that even if we have 48Mi sockets, the average list length is 3,
and regression would be less than 1%.
We can check the current ehash size by another read-only sysctl knob,
net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries. A negative value means the netns shares
the global ehash (per-netns ehash is disabled or failed to allocate
memory).
# dmesg | cut -d ' ' -f 5- | grep "established hash"
TCP established hash table entries: 524288 (order: 10, 4194304 bytes, vmalloc hugepage)
# sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries
net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries = 524288 # can be changed by thash_entries
# sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries
net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries = 0 # disabled by default
# ip netns add test1
# ip netns exec test1 sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries
net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries = -524288 # share the global ehash
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries=100
net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries = 100
# ip netns add test2
# ip netns exec test2 sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries
net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries = 128 # own a per-netns ehash with 2^n buckets
When more than two processes in the same netns create per-netns ehash
concurrently with different sizes, we need to guarantee the size in
one of the following ways:
1) Share the global ehash and create per-netns ehash
First, unshare() with tcp_child_ehash_entries==0. It creates dedicated
netns sysctl knobs where we can safely change tcp_child_ehash_entries
and clone()/unshare() to create a per-netns ehash.
2) Control write on sysctl by BPF
We can use BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL to allow/deny read/write on
sysctl knobs.
Note that the global ehash allocated at the boot time is spread over
available NUMA nodes, but inet_pernet_hashinfo_alloc() will allocate
pages for each per-netns ehash depending on the current process's NUMA
policy. By default, the allocation is done in the local node only, so
the per-netns hash table could fully reside on a random node. Thus,
depending on the NUMA policy the netns is created with and the CPU the
current thread is running on, we could see some performance differences
for highly optimised networking applications.
Note also that the default values of two sysctl knobs depend on the ehash
size and should be tuned carefully:
tcp_max_tw_buckets : tcp_child_ehash_entries / 2
tcp_max_syn_backlog : max(128, tcp_child_ehash_entries / 128)
As a bonus, we can dismantle netns faster. Currently, while destroying
netns, we call inet_twsk_purge(), which walks through the global ehash.
It can be potentially big because it can have many sockets other than
TIME_WAIT in all netns. Splitting ehash changes that situation, where
it's only necessary for inet_twsk_purge() to clean up TIME_WAIT sockets
in each netns.
With regard to this, we do not free the per-netns ehash in inet_twsk_kill()
to avoid UAF while iterating the per-netns ehash in inet_twsk_purge().
Instead, we do it in tcp_sk_exit_batch() after calling tcp_twsk_purge() to
keep it protocol-family-independent.
In the future, we could optimise ehash lookup/iteration further by removing
netns comparison for the per-netns ehash.

We will soon introduce an optional per-netns ehash and access hash
tables via net->ipv4.tcp_death_row->hashinfo instead of &tcp_hashinfo
in most places.
It could harm the fast path because dereferences of two fields in net
and tcp_death_row might incur two extra cache line misses. To save one
dereference, let's place tcp_death_row back in netns_ipv4 and fetch
hashinfo via net->ipv4.tcp_death_row"."hashinfo.
Note tcp_death_row was initially placed in netns_ipv4, and commit
fbb8295248 ("tcp: allocate tcp_death_row outside of struct netns_ipv4")
changed it to a pointer so that we can fire TIME_WAIT timers after freeing
net. However, we don't do so after commit 04c494e68a ("Revert "tcp/dccp:
get rid of inet_twsk_purge()""), so we need not define tcp_death_row as a
pointer.
Also, we move refcount_dec_and_test(&tw_refcount) from tcp_sk_exit() to
tcp_sk_exit_batch() as a debug check.

2. bridge netfilter needs to drop dst references, from Harsh Modi.
This was fine back in the day the code was originally written,

3. Remove nf_conntrack_helper sysctl and the modparam toggle, users
need to explicitily assign the helpers to use via nftables or
iptables. Conntrack helpers, by design, may be used to add dynamic
port redirections to internal machines, so its necessary to restrict
which hosts/peers are allowed to use them.
It was discovered that improper checking in the irc DCC helper makes
it possible to trigger the 'please do dynamic port forward'
from outside by embedding a 'DCC' in a PING request; if the client
echos that back a expectation/port forward gets added.
The auto-assign-for-everything mechanism has been in "please don't do this"
territory since 2012. From Pablo.

To avoid allocation of the conntrack extension area when possible,
the default behaviour was changed to only allocate the event extension
if a userspace program is subscribed to a notification group.
Problem is that while 'conntrack -E' does enable the event allocation
behind the scenes, 'conntrack -E expect' does not: no expectation events
are delivered unless user sets
"net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events" back to 1 (always on).
Fix the autodetection to also consider EXP type group.
We need to track the 6 event groups (3+3, new/update/destroy for events and
for expectations each) independently, else we'd disable events again
if an expectation group becomes empty while there is still an active
event group.

executing. These counters allow user to diagnose congestion on hardware
offload workqueues that can happen when either CPU is starved and workqueue

hardware/driver can't keep up with the rate.
Implement the described counters as percpu counters inside new struct

This commit adds a per netns hash table for AF_UNIX, which size is fixed
as UNIX_HASH_SIZE for now.
The first implementation defines a per-netns hash table as a single array
of lock and list:
struct unix_hashbucket {
spinlock_t lock;
struct hlist_head head;
};
struct netns_unix {
struct unix_hashbucket *hash;
...
};
But, Eric pointed out memory cost that the structure has holes because of
sizeof(spinlock_t), which is 4 (or more if LOCKDEP is enabled). [0] It
could be expensive on a host with thousands of netns and few AF_UNIX
sockets. For this reason, a per-netns hash table uses two dense arrays.
struct unix_table {
spinlock_t *locks;
struct hlist_head *buckets;
};
struct netns_unix {
struct unix_table table;
...
};
Note the length of the list has a significant impact rather than lock
contention, so having shared locks can be an option. But, per-netns
locks and lists still perform better than the global locks and per-netns
lists. [1]
Also, this patch adds a change so that struct netns_unix disappears from
struct net if CONFIG_UNIX is disabled.

At this time, every new conntrack gets the 'event cache extension'
enabled for it.
This is because the 'net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events' sysctl defaults
to 1.
Changing the default to 0 means that commands that rely on the event
notification extension, e.g. 'conntrack -E' or conntrackd, stop working.
We COULD detect if there is a listener by means of
'nfnetlink_has_listeners()' and only add the extension if this is true.
The downside is a dependency from conntrack module to nfnetlink module.
This adds a different way: inc/dec a counter whenever a ctnetlink group
is being (un)subscribed and toggle a flag in struct net.
Next patches will take advantage of this and will only add the event
extension if the flag is set.

Its no longer needed. Entries that need event redelivery are placed
on the new pernet dying list.
The advantage is that there is no need to take additional spinlock on
conntrack removal unless event redelivery failed or the conntrack entry
was never added to the table in the first place (confirmed bit not set).
The IPS_CONFIRMED bit now needs to be set as soon as the entry has been
unlinked from the unconfirmed list, else the destroy function may
attempt to unlink it a second time.
