The delay calculation with the rate extension introduces in v3.3 does
not properly work, if other packets are still queued for transmission.
For the delay calculation to work, both delay types (latency and delay
introduces by rate limitation) have to be handled differently. The
latency delay for a packet can overlap with the delay of other packets.
The delay introduced by the rate however is separate, and can only
start, once all other rate-introduced delays finished.Latency delay is from same distribution for each packet, rate delay
depends on the packet size..: latency delay
-: rate delay
x: additional delay we have to wait since another packet is currently
transmitted.....---- Packet 1
.....xx------ Packet 2
.....------ Packet 3

When a packet is enqueued, we first consider the latency delay. If other
packets are already queued, we can reduce the latency delay until the
last packet in the queue is send, however the latency delay cannot beAcked-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on
making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.- cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and
caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last
reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a
separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
changes on top.- The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
improve hierarchy support.- cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
cgroups are frozen.- netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
properly.- Various fixes and cleanups.

to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for

With BQL being deployed, we can more likely have following behavior :
We dequeue a packet from qdisc in dequeue_skb(), then we realize target
tx queue is in XOFF state in sch_direct_xmit(), and we have to hold the
skb into gso_skb for later.This shows in stats (tc -s qdisc dev eth0) as requeues.
Problem of these requeues is that high priority packets can not be
dequeued as long as this (possibly low prio and big TSO packet) is not
removed from gso_skb.At 1Gbps speed, a full size TSO packet is 500 us of extra latency.
In some cases, we know that all packets dequeued from a qdisc are
for a particular and known txq :- If device is non multi queue
- For all MQ/MQPRIO slave qdiscsThis patch introduces a new qdisc flag, TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE to mark
this capability, so that dequeue_skb() is allowed to dequeue a packet
only if the associated txq is not stopped.This indeed reduce latencies for high prio packets (or improve fairness
with sfq/fq_codel), and almost remove qdisc 'requeues'.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

It turns out that we'll have to live with attributes which are
inherited at cgroup creation time but not affected by further updates
to the parent afterwards - such attributes are already in wide use
e.g. for cpuset.So, there's nothing to do for netcls_cgroup for hierarchy support.
Its current behavior - inherit only during creation - is good enough.Move config inheriting from ->css_alloc() to ->css_online() for
consistency, which doesn't change behavior at all, and remove
.broken_hierarchy marking.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is
violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ
would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures
implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs
with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is,
e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been
proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary
version of this patch.This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to
proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the
maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the
max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size
than the current value of lmax arrives.The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class
is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight
sum.Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if
they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken
from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to
the function slot_insert.[1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=134968777902077&w=2

Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc"
userspace program, which has the following issue:The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths
to token (time units). With TSO sized packets, the
256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate,
making the token bucket inaccurate.Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch
explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet
transmission times with nanosecond granularity.This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide
range of packet sizes.Example:
tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \
htb default 1tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \
rate 5Gbit mtu 64kHere is an example of inaccuracy:
$ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1
With old htb:
eth4: 34.76 Mb/s In 5827.98 Mb/s Out - 65836.0 p/s In 481273.0 p/s Out
[SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 669 MBytes 5.61 Gbits/sec
[SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 6.50 GBytes 5.58 Gbits/secWith new htb:
eth4: 28.36 Mb/s In 5208.06 Mb/s Out - 53704.0 p/s In 430076.0 p/s Out
[SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 594 MBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec
[SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 5.80 GBytes 4.98 Gbits/secThe bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB
because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which
is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used. But
that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted.Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for review and feedback.

The cgroup logic part of net_cls is very similar as the one in
net_prio. Let's stream line the net_cls logic with the net_prio one.The net_prio update logic was changed by following commit (note there
were some changes necessary later on)commit 406a3c638ce8b17d9704052c07955490f732c2b8
Author: John Fastabend
Date: Fri Jul 20 10:39:25 2012 +0000net: netprio_cgroup: rework update socket logic
Instead of updating the sk_cgrp_prioidx struct field on every send
this only updates the field when a task is moved via cgroup
infrastructure.This allows sockets that may be used by a kernel worker thread
to be managed. For example in the iscsi case today a user can
put iscsid in a netprio cgroup and control traffic will be sent
with the correct sk_cgrp_prioidx value set but as soon as data
is sent the kernel worker thread isssues a send and sk_cgrp_prioidx
is updated with the kernel worker threads value which is the
default case.It seems more correct to only update the field when the user
explicitly sets it via control group infrastructure. This allows
the users to manage sockets that may be used with other threads.Since classid is now updated when the task is moved between the
cgroups, we don't have to call sock_update_classid() from various
places to ensure we always using the latest classid value.[v2: Use iterate_fd() instead of open coding]

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.

We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg()
operations.This page is used to build fragments for skbs.
Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into
single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent)But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly
idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_pageIts also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need
about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit
page allocator more than wanted.This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages,
if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure.(up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86)
This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device,
but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are
mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck
mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled.Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments,
but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a
fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

If the old timestamps of a class, say cl, are stale when the class
becomes active, then QFQ may assign to cl a much higher start time
than the maximum value allowed. This may happen when QFQ assigns to
the start time of cl the finish time of a group whose classes are
characterized by a higher value of the ratio
max_class_pkt/weight_of_the_class with respect to that of
cl. Inserting a class with a too high start time into the bucket list
corrupts the data structure and may eventually lead to crashes.
This patch limits the maximum start time assigned to a class.Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente

Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

WARNING: With this change it is impossible to load external built
controllers anymore.In case where CONFIG_NETPRIO_CGROUP=m and CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP=m is
set, corresponding subsys_id should also be a constant. Up to now,
net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id would be of the type int and
the value would be assigned during runtime.By switching the macro definition IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED from IS_BUILTIN
to IS_ENABLED, all *_subsys_id will have constant value. That means we
need to remove all the code which assumes a value can be assigned to
net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id.A close look is necessary on the RCU part which was introduces by
following patch:commit f845172531fb7410c7fb7780b1a6e51ee6df7d52

net_cls_subsys_id = net_cls_subsys.subsys_id;respectively to exit_cgroup_cls()
net_cls_subsys_id = -1;
synchronize_rcu();and in module version of task_cls_classid()
rcu_read_lock();
id = rcu_dereference(net_cls_subsys_id);
if (id >= 0)
classid = container_of(task_subsys_state(p, id),
struct cgroup_cls_state, css)->classid;
rcu_read_unlock();Without an explicit explaination why the RCU part is needed. (The
rcu_deference was fixed by exchanging it to rcu_derefence_index_check()
in a later commit, but that is a minor detail.)So here is my pondering why it was introduced and why it safe to
remove it now. Note that this code was copied over to net_prio the
reasoning holds for that subsystem too.The idea behind the RCU use for net_cls_subsys_id is to make sure we
get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state(). task_subsys_state()
is just blindly accessing the subsys array and returning the
pointer. Obviously, passing in -1 as id into task_subsys_state()
returns an invalid value (out of lower bound).So this code makes sure that only after module is loaded and the
subsystem registered, the id is assigned.Before unregistering the module all old readers must have left the
critical section. This is done by assigning -1 to the id and issuing a
synchronized_rcu(). Any new readers wont call task_subsys_state()
anymore and therefore it is safe to unregister the subsystem.The new code relies on the same trick, but it looks at the subsys
pointer return by task_subsys_state() (remember the id is constant
and therefore we allways have a valid index into the subsys
array).No precautions need to be taken during module loading
module. Eventually, all CPUs will get a valid pointer back from
task_subsys_state() because rebind_subsystem() which is called after
the module init() function will assigned subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] the
newly loaded module subsystem pointer.When the subsystem is about to be removed, rebind_subsystem() will
called before the module exit() function. In this case,
rebind_subsys() will assign subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] a NULL pointer
and then it calls synchronize_rcu(). All old readers have left by then
the critical section. Any new reader wont access the subsystem
anymore. At this point we are safe to unregister the subsystem. No
synchronize_rcu() call is needed.Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner

gred_dequeue() and gred_drop() do not seem to get called when the
queue is empty, meaning that we never start idling while in WRED
mode. And since qidlestart is not stored by gred_store_wred_set(),
we would never stop idling while in WRED mode if we ever started.
This messes up the average queue size calculation that influences
packet marking/dropping behavior.Now, we start WRED mode idling as we are removing the last packet
from the queue. Also we now actually stop WRED mode idling when we
are enqueuing a packet.Cc: Bruce Osler

q->vars.qavg is a Wlog scaled value, but q->backlog is not. In order
to pass q->vars.qavg as the backlog value, we need to un-scale it.
Additionally, the qave value returned via netlink should not be Wlog
scaled, so we need to un-scale the result of red_calc_qavg().This caused artificially high values for "Average Queue" to be shown
by 'tc -s -d qdisc', but did not affect the actual operation of GRED.Signed-off-by: David Ward

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

It seems we need to provide ability for stacked devices
to use specific lock_class_key for sch->busylockWe could instead default l2tpeth tx_queue_len to 0 (no qdisc), but
a user might use a qdisc anyway.(So same fixes are probably needed on non LLTX stacked drivers)

We drop packet unconditionally when we fail to mirror it. This is not intended
in some cases. Consdier for kvm guest, we may mirror the traffic of the bridge
to a tap device used by a VM. When kernel fails to mirror the packet in
conditions such as when qemu crashes or stop polling the tap, it's hard for the
management software to detect such condition and clean the the mirroring
before. This would lead all packets to the bridge to be dropped and break the
netowrk of other virtual machines.To solve the issue, the patch does not drop packets when kernel fails to mirror
it, and only drop the redirected packets.Signed-off-by: Jason Wang

The flow classifier can use uids and gids of the sockets that
are transmitting packets and do insert those uids and gids
into the packet classification calcuation. I don't fully
understand the details but it appears that we can depend
on specific uids and gids when making traffic classification
decisions.To work with user namespaces enabled map from kuids and kgids
into uids and gids in the initial user namespace giving raw
integer values the code can play with and depend on.To avoid issues of userspace depending on uids and gids in
packet classifiers installed from other user namespaces
and getting confused deny all packet classifiers that
use uids or gids that are not comming from a netlink socket
in the initial user namespace.Cc: Patrick McHardy

cls_flow.c plays with uids and gids. Unless I misread that
code it is possible for classifiers to depend on the specific uid and
gid values. Therefore I need to know the user namespace of the
netlink socket that is installing the packet classifiers. Pass
in the rtnetlink skb so I can access the NETLINK_CB of the passed
packet. In particular I want access to sk_user_ns(NETLINK_CB(in_skb).ssk).Pass in not the user namespace but the incomming rtnetlink skb into
the the classifier change routines as that is generally the more useful
parameter.Cc: Jamal Hadi Salim
