Merge branch 'ipv6-expired-routes'

Kui-Feng Lee says:

====================
Remove expired routes with a separated list of routes.

FIB6 GC walks trees of fib6_tables to remove expired routes. Walking a tree
can be expensive if the number of routes in a table is big, even if most of
them are permanent. Checking routes in a separated list of routes having
expiration will avoid this potential issue.

Background
==========

The size of a Linux IPv6 routing table can become a big problem if not
managed appropriately. Now, Linux has a garbage collector to remove
expired routes periodically. However, this may lead to a situation in
which the routing path is blocked for a long period due to an
excessive number of routes.

For example, years ago, there is a commit c7bb4b89033b ("ipv6: tcp:
drop silly ICMPv6 packet too big messages"). The root cause is that
malicious ICMPv6 packets were sent back for every small packet sent to
them. These packets add routes with an expiration time that prompts
the GC to periodically check all routes in the tables, including
permanent ones.

Why Route Expires
=================

Users can add IPv6 routes with an expiration time manually. However,
the Neighbor Discovery protocol may also generate routes that can
expire. For example, Router Advertisement (RA) messages may create a
default route with an expiration time. [RFC 4861] For IPv4, it is not
possible to set an expiration time for a route, and there is no RA, so
there is no need to worry about such issues.

Create Routes with Expires
==========================

You can create routes with expires with the command.

For example,

ip -6 route add 2001:b000:591::3 via fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3457 \
dev enp0s3 expires 30

The route that has been generated will be deleted automatically in 30
seconds.

GC of FIB6
==========

The function called fib6_run_gc() is responsible for performing
garbage collection (GC) for the Linux IPv6 stack. It checks for the
expiration of every route by traversing the trees of routing
tables. The time taken to traverse a routing table increases with its
size. Holding the routing table lock during traversal is particularly
undesirable. Therefore, it is preferable to keep the lock for the
shortest possible duration.

Solution
========

The cause of the issue is keeping the routing table locked during the
traversal of large trees. To solve this problem, we can create a separate
list of routes that have expiration. This will prevent GC from checking
permanent routes.

Result
======

We conducted a test to measure the execution times of fib6_gc_timer_cb()
and observed that it enhances the GC of FIB6. During the test, we added
permanent routes with the following numbers: 1000, 3000, 6000, and
9000. Additionally, we added a route with an expiration time.

Here are the average execution times for the kernel without the patch.
- 120020 ns with 1000 permanent routes
- 308920 ns with 3000 ...
- 581470 ns with 6000 ...
- 855310 ns with 9000 ...

The kernel with the patch consistently takes around 14000 ns to execute,
regardless of the number of permanent routes that are installed.

Major changes from v7:

- Fix warings raised by the patchwork.

Major changes from v6:

- Remove unnecessary check of tb6 in fib6_clean_expires_locked().

- Use ib6_clean_expires_locked() instead in fib6_purge_rt().

Major changes from v5:

- Change the order of adding new routes to the GC list and starting
GC timer.

- Remove time measurements from the test case.

- Stop forcing GC flush.

Major changes from v4:

- Detect existence of 'strace' in the test case.

Major changes from v3:

- Fix the type of arg according to feedback.

- Add 1k temporary routes and 5K permanent routes in the test case.
Measure time spending on GC with strace.

Major changes from v2:

- Remove unnecessary and incorrect sysctl restoring in the test case.

Major changes from v1:

- Moved gc_link to avoid creating a hole in fib6_info.

- Moved fib6_set_expires*() and fib6_clean_expires*() to the header
file and inlined. And removed duplicated lines.

- Added a test case.

- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
possible

- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
unneeded softirq avoidance

- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

- Optimize again the skb struct layout

- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems

- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

BPF:

- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
variable-sized accesses

- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
controlling encap params

- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
skeleton

- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
capabilities

- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
in local storage maps

- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps

- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree

- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
start emitting them

- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

Protocols:

- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address

- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures

- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers

- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction

- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged

- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore

- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

Driver API:

- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them

====================
net, refcount: Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues

This is version 3 of this series. Version 2 can be found here:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230307125358.772287565@linutronix.de

Wangyang and Arjan reported a bottleneck in the networking code related to
struct dst_entry::__refcnt. Performance tanks massively when concurrency on
a dst_entry increases.

This happens when there are a large amount of connections to or from the
same IP address. The memtier benchmark when run on the same host as
memcached amplifies this massively. But even over real network connections
this issue can be observed at an obviously smaller scale (due to the
network bandwith limitations in my setup, i.e. 1Gb). How to reproduce:

Run memcached with -t $N and memtier_benchmark with -t $M and --ratio=1:100
on the same machine. localhost connections amplify the problem.

Start with the defaults for $N and $M and increase them. Depending on
your machine this will tank at some point. But even in reasonably small
$N, $M scenarios the refcount operations and the resulting false sharing
fallout becomes visible in perf top. At some point it becomes the
dominating issue.

There are two factors which make this reference count a scalability issue:

1) False sharing

dst_entry:__refcnt is located at offset 64 of dst_entry, which puts
it into a seperate cacheline vs. the read mostly members located at
the beginning of the struct.

That prevents false sharing vs. the struct members in the first 64
bytes of the structure, but there is also

dst_entry::lwtstate

which is located after the reference count and in the same cache
line. This member is read after a reference count has been acquired.

The other problem is struct rtable, which embeds a struct dst_entry
at offset 0. struct dst_entry has a size of 112 bytes, which means
that the struct members of rtable which follow the dst member share
the same cache line as dst_entry::__refcnt. Especially

rtable::rt_genid

is also read by the contexts which have a reference count acquired
already.

When dst_entry:__refcnt is incremented or decremented via an atomic
operation these read accesses stall and contribute to the performance
problem.

2) atomic_inc_not_zero()

A reference on dst_entry:__refcnt is acquired via
atomic_inc_not_zero() and released via atomic_dec_return().

atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemted via a atomic_try_cmpxchg() loop,
which exposes O(N^2) behaviour under contention with N concurrent
operations. Contention scalability is degrading with even a small
amount of contenders and gets worse from there.

Lightweight instrumentation exposed an average of 8!! retry loops per
atomic_inc_not_zero() invocation in a inc()/dec() loop running
concurrently on 112 CPUs.

There is nothing which can be done to make atomic_inc_not_zero() more
scalable.

The following series addresses these issues:

1) Reorder and pad struct dst_entry to prevent the false sharing.

2) Implement and use a reference count implementation which avoids the
atomic_inc_not_zero() problem.

It is slightly less performant in the case of the final 0 -> -1
transition, but the deconstruction of these objects is a low
frequency event. get()/put() pairs are in the hotpath and that's
what this implementation optimizes for.

The algorithm of this reference count is only suitable for RCU
managed objects. Therefore it cannot replace the refcount_t
algorithm, which is also based on atomic_inc_not_zero(), due to a
subtle race condition related to the 0 -> -1 transition and the final
verdict to mark the reference count dead. See details in patch 2/3.

It might be just my lack of imagination which declares this to be
impossible and I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

As a bonus the new rcuref implementation provides underflow/overflow
detection and mitigation while being performance wise on par with
open coded atomic_inc_not_zero() / atomic_dec_return() pairs even in
the non-contended case.

The combination of these two changes results in performance gains in micro
benchmarks and also localhost and networked memtier benchmarks talking to
memcached. It's hard to quantify the benchmark results as they depend
heavily on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent operations.

The overall gain of both changes for localhost memtier ranges from 1.2X to
3.2X and from +2% to %5% range for networked operations on a 1Gb connection.

A micro benchmark which enforces maximized concurrency shows a gain between
1.2X and 4.7X!!!

Obviously this is focussed on a particular problem and therefore needs to
be discussed in detail. It also requires wider testing outside of the cases
which this is focussed on.

Though the false sharing issue is obvious and should be addressed
independent of the more focussed reference count changes.

The series is also available from git:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git rcuref

Changes vs. V2:

- Rename __refcnt to __rcuref (Linus)

- Fix comments and changelogs (Mark, Qiuxu)

- Fixup kernel doc of generated atomic_add_negative() variants

I want to say thanks to Wangyang who analyzed the issue and provided the
initial fix for the false sharing problem. Further thanks go to Arjan
Peter, Marc, Will and Borislav for valuable input and providing test
results on machines which I do not have access to, and to Linus and
Eric, Qiuxu and Mark for helpful feedback.

net: dst: Prevent false sharing vs. dst_entry:: __refcnt

dst_entry::__refcnt is highly contended in scenarios where many connections
happen from and to the same IP. The reference count is an atomic_t, so the
reference count operations have to take the cache-line exclusive.

Aside of the unavoidable reference count contention there is another
significant problem which is caused by that: False sharing.

perf top identified two affected read accesses. dst_entry::lwtstate and
rtable::rt_genid.

dst_entry:__refcnt is located at offset 64 of dst_entry, which puts it into
a seperate cacheline vs. the read mostly members located at the beginning
of the struct.

That prevents false sharing vs. the struct members in the first 64
bytes of the structure, but there is also

dst_entry::lwtstate

which is located after the reference count and in the same cache line. This
member is read after a reference count has been acquired.

struct rtable embeds a struct dst_entry at offset 0. struct dst_entry has a
size of 112 bytes, which means that the struct members of rtable which
follow the dst member share the same cache line as dst_entry::__refcnt.
Especially

rtable::rt_genid

is also read by the contexts which have a reference count acquired
already.

When dst_entry:__refcnt is incremented or decremented via an atomic
operation these read accesses stall. This was found when analysing the
memtier benchmark in 1:100 mode, which amplifies the problem extremly.

Move the rt[6i]_uncached[_list] members out of struct rtable and struct
rt6_info into struct dst_entry to provide padding and move the lwtstate
member after that so it ends up in the same cache line.

The resulting improvement depends on the micro-architecture and the number
of CPUs. It ranges from +20% to +120% with a localhost memtier/memcached
benchmark.
