Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init
Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values
(set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized
dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical.
This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on
the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that
we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as
the routing table can.
For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash
buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage
collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 *
gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size.
For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size,
but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems
sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half
the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4
code does).

Export garbage collector thresholds for xfrm[4|6]_dst_ops
Had a problem reported to me recently in which a high volume of ipsec
connections on a system began reporting ENOBUFS for new connections
eventually.
It seemed that after about 2000 connections we started being unable to
create more. A quick look revealed that the xfrm code used a dst_ops
structure that limited the gc_thresh value to 1024, and always
dropped route cache entries after 2x the gc_thresh.
It seems the most direct solution is to export the gc_thresh values in
the xfrm[4|6] dst_ops as sysctls, like the main routing table does, so
that higher volumes of connections can be supported. This patch has
been tested and allows the reporter to increase their ipsec connection
volume successfully.

During large updates there could be triggered warnings like: "Fix
inflate_threshold_root. Now=25 size=11 bits" if inflate() of the root
node isn't finished in 10 loops. It should be much rarer now, after
changing the threshold from 15 to 25, and a temporary problem, so
this patch tries to handle it automatically using a fix variable to
increase by one inflate threshold for next root resizes (up to the 35
limit, max fix = 10). The fix variable is decreased when root's
inflate() finishes below 7 loops (even if some other, smaller table/
trie is updated -- for simplicity the fix variable is global for now).

During trie_rebalance() we free memory after resizing with call_rcu(),
but large updates, especially with PREEMPT_NONE configs, can cause
memory stresses, so this patch calls synchronize_rcu() in
tnode_free_flush() after each sync_pages to guarantee such freeing
(especially before resizing the root node).
The value of sync_pages = 128 is based on Pawel Staszewski's tests as
the lowest which doesn't hinder updating times. (For testing purposes
there was a sysfs module parameter to change it on demand, but it's
removed until we're sure it could be really useful.)

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.
Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.
CPU1 CPU2
sys_select receive packet
... ...
__add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt
... ...
tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable
... {
schedule ...
if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
...
}
If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.
Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.
The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

It seems, the current threshold for root resizing is too aggressive,
and it causes misleading warnings during big updates, but it might be
also responsible for memory problems, especially with non-preempt
configs, when RCU freeing is delayed long after call_rcu.
It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during
resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves
so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost
of a minimally longer searching.

According to this and other similar reports average depth is slightly
increased (~0.2), and root nodes are shorter (log 17 vs. 18), but
there is no visible performance decrease. So, until memory handling is
improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this
patch resets to safer defaults.

When route caching is disabled (rt_caching returns false), We still use route
cache entries that are created and passed into rt_intern_hash once. These
routes need to be made usable for the one call path that holds a reference to
them, and they need to be reclaimed when they're finished with their use. To be
made usable, they need to be associated with a neighbor table entry (which they
currently are not), otherwise iproute_finish2 just discards the packet, since we
don't know which L2 peer to send the packet to. To do this binding, we need to
follow the path a bit higher up in rt_intern_hash, which calls
arp_bind_neighbour, but not assign the route entry to the hash table.
Currently, if caching is off, we simply assign the route to the rp pointer and
are reutrn success. This patch associates us with a neighbor entry first.
Secondly, we need to make sure that any single use routes like this are known to
the garbage collector when caching is off. If caching is off, and we try to
hash in a route, it will leak when its refcount reaches zero. To avoid this,
this patch calls rt_free on the route cache entry passed into rt_intern_hash.
This places us on the gc list for the route cache garbage collector, so that
when its refcount reaches zero, it will be reclaimed (Thanks to Alexey for this
suggestion).
I've tested this on a local system here, and with these patches in place, I'm
able to maintain routed connectivity to remote systems, even if I set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count to -1, which forces rt_caching to
return false.

Don't drop route if we're not caching
I recently got a report of an oops on a route lookup. Maxime was
testing what would happen if route caching was turned off (doing so by setting
making rt_caching always return 0), and found that it triggered an oops. I
looked at it and found that the problem stemmed from the fact that the route
lookup routines were returning success from their lookup paths (which is good),
but never set the **rp pointer to anything (which is bad). This happens because
in rt_intern_hash, if rt_caching returns false, we call rt_drop and return 0.
This almost emulates slient success. What we should be doing is assigning *rp =
rt and _not_ dropping the route. This way, during slow path lookups, when we
create a new route cache entry, we don't immediately discard it, rather we just
don't add it into the cache hash table, but we let this one lookup use it for
the purpose of this route request. Maxime has tested and reports it prevents
the oops. There is still a subsequent routing issue that I'm looking into
further, but I'm confident that, even if its related to this same path, this
patch makes sense to take.

My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding
them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't
strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming
they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet.
But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude
all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we
need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the
return type of the trie_rebalance() function is changed.

While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free

real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before
parent update they could access freed memory.
It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side,
but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with
memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions.
This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the

One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses
a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet.
This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path
also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different
cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these
two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces.
We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example),
where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles.
We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing
is delayed until all tx packets are completed.
As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc
by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called.
Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc)
to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets
are in flight.
skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore
sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc
reached 0 to perform the final freeing.
Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or
even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket.
Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s
on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt
contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends
on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.
