When invalidating the DDP context is invalidated, the HW may not be done

The Tx hang logic has been known to detect false hangs when
the device is receiving pause frames or has delayed processing
for some other reason.
This patch makes the logic more robust and resolves these
known issues. The old logic checked to see if the device
was paused by querying the HW then the hang logic was
aborted if the device was currently paused. This check was
racy because the device could have been in the pause state
any time up to this check. The other operation of the
hang logic is to verify the Tx ring is still advancing
the old logic checked the EOP timestamp. This is not
sufficient to determine the ring is not advancing but
only infers that it may be moving slowly.
Here we add logic to track the number of completed Tx
descriptors and use the adapter stats to check if any
pause frames have been received since the previous Tx
hang check. This way we avoid racing with the HW
register and do not detect false hangs if the ring is
advancing slowly.
This patch is primarily the work of Jesse Brandeburg. I
clean it up some and fixed the PFC checking.

RSC will flush its descriptors every time the interrupt throttle timer
expires. In addition there are known issues with RSC when the rx-usecs
value is set too low. As such we are forced to clear the RSC_ENABLED bit
and reset the adapter when the rx-usecs value is set too low.
However we do not need to clear the NETIF_F_LRO flag because it is used to
indicate that the user wants to leave the LRO feature enabled, and in fact
with this change we will now re-enable RSC as soon as the rx-usecs value is
increased and the flag is still set.

Currently the high and low water marks for PFC are being set
conservatively for jumbo frames. This means the RX buffers
are being underutilized in the default 1500 MTU. This patch
fixes this so that the water marks are set as described in
the data sheet considering the MTU size.
The equation used is,
RTT * 1.44 + MTU * 1.44 + MTU
Where RTT is the round trip time and MTU is the max frame size
in KB. To avoid floating point arithmetic FC_HIGH_WATER is
defined
((((RTT + MTU) * 144) + 99) / 100) + MTU
This changes how the hardware field fc.low_water and
fc.high_water are used. With this change they are no longer
storing the actual low water and high water markers but are
storing the required head room in the buffer. This simplifies
the logic and we do not need to account for the size of the
buffer when setting the thresholds.
Testing with iperf and 16 threads showed a slight uptick in
throughput over a single traffic class .1-.2Gbps and a reduction
in pause frames. Without the patch a 30 second run would show
~10-15 pause frames being transmitted with the patch ~2-5 are
seen. Test were run back to back with 82599.
Note RXPBSIZE is in KB and low and high water marks fields are
also in KB. However the FCRT* registers are 32B granularity and
right shifted 5 into the register,
(((rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 1024) / 32) << 5
is the most explicit conversion here we simplify
(rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 32 << 5 = (rx_pbsize - water_mark) << 10
This patch updates the PFC thresholds and legacy FC thresholds.

"cat /proc/net/dev" uses RCU protection only.
Its quite possible we call a driver get_stats() method while device is
dismantling and freeing its data structures.
So get_stats() methods must be very careful not accessing driver private

In ixgbe case, we access rx_ring pointers. These pointers are freed in
ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme() and set to NULL, this can trigger NULL
dereference in ixgbe_get_stats64()

Right now, fields in struct sock are not optimally ordered, because each
path (RX softirq, TX completion, RX user, TX user) has to touch fields
that are contained in many different cache lines.
The really critical thing is to shrink number of cache lines that are
used at RX softirq time : CPU handling softirqs for a device can receive
many frames per second for many sockets. If load is too big, we can drop
frames at NIC level. RPS or multiqueue cards can help, but better reduce
latency if possible.
This patch starts with UDP protocol, then additional patches will try to
reduce latencies of other ones as well.
At RX softirq time, fields of interest for UDP protocol are :
(not counting ones in inet struct for the lookup)
Read/Written:
sk_refcnt (atomic increment/decrement)
sk_rmem_alloc & sk_backlog.len (to check if there is room in queues)
sk_receive_queue
sk_backlog (if socket locked by user program)
sk_rxhash
sk_forward_alloc
sk_drops
Read only:
sk_rcvbuf (sk_rcvqueues_full())
sk_filter
sk_wq
sk_policy[0]
sk_flags
Additional notes :
- sk_backlog has one hole on 64bit arches. We can fill it to save 8
bytes.
- sk_backlog is used only if RX sofirq handler finds the socket while
locked by user.
- sk_rxhash is written only once per flow.
- sk_drops is written only if queues are full
Final layout :
[1] One section grouping all read/write fields, but placing rxhash and
sk_backlog at the end of this section.
[2] One section grouping all read fields in RX handler
(sk_filter, sk_rcv_buf, sk_wq)
[3] Section used by other paths
I'll post a patch on its own to put sk_refcnt at the end of struct
sock_common so that it shares same cache line than section [1]
New offsets on 64bit arch :
sizeof(struct sock)=0x268
offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) =0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x68

Change notes:
1) Removed extra memset. Didn't think kcalloc added a GFP_ZERO the way kzalloc did :)
Summary:
It was shown to me recently that systems under high load were driven very deep
into swap when tcpdump was run. The reason this happened was because the
AF_PACKET protocol has a SET_RINGBUFFER socket option that allows the user space
application to specify how many entries an AF_PACKET socket will have and how
large each entry will be. It seems the default setting for tcpdump is to set
the ring buffer to 32 entries of 64 Kb each, which implies 32 order 5
allocation. Thats difficult under good circumstances, and horrid under memory
pressure.
I thought it would be good to make that a bit more usable. I was going to do a
simple conversion of the ring buffer from contigous pages to iovecs, but
unfortunately, the metadata which AF_PACKET places in these buffers can easily
span a page boundary, and given that these buffers get mapped into user space,
and the data layout doesn't easily allow for a change to padding between frames
to avoid that, a simple iovec change is just going to break user space ABI
consistency.
So I've done this, I've added a three tiered mechanism to the af_packet set_ring
socket option. It attempts to allocate memory in the following order:
1) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY set, so as to fail quickly without
digging into swap
2) Using vmalloc
3) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY clear, causing us to try as hard as
needed to get the memory
The effect is that we don't disturb the system as much when we're under load,
while still being able to conduct tcpdumps effectively.
Tested successfully by me.
