IPv6 MIB:ipv6PrefixTable implementation

IPv6 MIB:ipv6PrefixTable implementation

[Shirley Ma]

Hi, Alexy,

A while ago, we had a discussion about IPv6 Prefix Table implementation. 
I agree with you it's not necessary to process offlink prefix.

In each ipv6PrefixTable, there are 9 objects, which are Ifindex, Type, Prefix, 
Length, Origin(addrconf, manually, dhcp, others), OnLinkFlag, AutonomoueFlag, 
AdvPreferredLiftTime and ValidLifeTime. 

As we know, the routing table has all on-link prefix routes. But only Prefix,
Length, Ifindex are saved in routing table, the rest objects info are not saved
anywhere.

One implementation detail question, do you think I need to save all the other 
Prefix Objects: Type, Origin(addrconf, manually, dhcp, others), OnLinkFlag, 
AutonomoueFlag, AdvPreferredLiftTime and ValidLifeTime in routing table also?
If so, sounds like I add a big structure in each prefix route entry in the routing table.

Thanks
Shirley Ma

Those which are on-link, of course.

Do you really think off-link prefixes are to be saved? Prefix in use is onlink
by defintion, so just return 1 in these bit and ignore off-link prefixes
completely, they are meaningless, are not they?

Well, if SNMP is going to be used as a tool to snoop ndisc promiscuously
(which seems to be the case if it shows inforrmation about offlink prefixes),
then it is definitely not a kernel task.

These two things should be stored right now. Existing implementation is
quite a mess, but we definitely want to remember origin of each route
in "protocol" and another flags, they are of common interest.


> AutonomoueFlag, AdvPreferredLiftTime and ValidLifeTime

ValidLifeTime is "expires" on this route.

What's about AdvPreferredLiftTime I am puzzled a little,
preferred time is not an attribute of a prefix at all,
it is attribute of address, is not it? Unless the prefix is used
to install local address it does not make sense, right?

[PATCH]snmp6 64-bit counter support in proc.c

[Shirley Ma]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 222 bytes --]

I add this because there are some 64-bit counters in the new IPv6 MIBs. 
This patch has been tested agaist linux-2.6.0-test9, and cleanly applied to 
linux-2.6.0-test11.

"sizeof(unsigned long)" evaluates to 8 on 64-bit systems,
yet you assume it always evaluated to 4 as on 32-bit systems.

Maybe it would be wiser to explicitly use 'u32' and 'u64' for
the types of the snmp counters?

This has always been a sore area.

[PATCH] IPv6 MIB:ipv6Prefix netlink notification

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 224 bytes --]

Once receiving a router advertisement message for prefix info, 
a netlink notification event will be created.

This patch has been tested against linux-2.6.0-test11.

Thanks, Dave. When I created the patch, I was concern about this.
I will change the MIBs counters to 'u32' or 'u64'.

Once receiving a router advertisement message,
a netlink notification event will be created.

This patch is against linux-2.6.1.

Can you explain what this patch is doing, and specifically what bug it is fixing?

I feel dense as I can't figure it out just by studying your patch and the code it
touches :-)

This patch looks fine, except I can't see how RTM_GETRA is used anywhere.
Even if it will be used by some future change, please remove it until that
later change is made.

So please either show where RTM_GETRA is used or regenerate the patch with
that macro definition removed.

Thanks.

I am personally fine with this patch, but I do believe some folks might find
it controversial (for whatever reason) to move all of these stats over to 64-bits.

So I'm going to let this sit for another day or two so people can voice any
objections they may have.

Hmm, why do we need this?  What kind of usage?
I think you can do this in user space by opening raw socket.

Did you hear different voices? If not could you please check in this patch?
I am going to submit another patch about new IPv6 MIBs system & interface
statistics counters for your review, which depends on this one.

I'm not against holding in u64, 
but I rebember that Linus did not liked that.
Is it okay?

BTW,

diff -urN linux-2.6.1/net/ipv6/proc.c linux-2.6.1-ipv6mib2-64/net/ipv6/proc.c
:
 struct snmp6_item
 {
        char *name;
+       int   size;
        int   offset;
 };
:
+               if (size == 4) {
+                       res += *((__u32 *)
+                               (((void *)per_cpu_ptr(mib[0], i)) + offt));
+                       res += *((__u32 *)
+                               (((void *)per_cpu_ptr(mib[1], i)) + offt));
+               } else if (size == 8) {

                                  ~~~~~__u64?

+               }

I don't understand who really requires the "size" field.
The size is always 8, isn't it?
Am I missing sonething?

I'd prefer:
		if (size == sizeof(u32)) {
			:
                } else if (size == sizeof(u64) {
		        :
		}

No objections, and I am fine with the change as well.

However, I think I will defer it as 2.6.x has a lot of changes in it already.
Definitely next release.

Hello!

> Did you hear different voices?

Here is a little warning. It will give corrupt values on 32 bit archs
when update with 32 bit overflow happens while value is folded.

To do 64 bit arithmetics you need either to serialize reader wrt writer
or to do some funny tricks with detecting overflows while reading and
special sequence of operations at update with proper barriers, which
will be reflected in performance anyway. Essentially, this haemorhoids
is the reason why they stayed 32 bit.

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3921 bytes --]





Alexei,

That is a good point you raised, we don't want to read the counter while
the writer
might change and overflow of one word can result in a really corrupt value.

If 64bit counters is a good idea to implement, what I find OK to do is to
penalize the
readers (proc filesystem interface or netlink) but make sure that the
writers don't get
penalized by being forced to serialize, in effect writers must run as fast
as if there were
no other readers. I could think of a hack to make that happen (hopefully
not too ugly :-) :

#if 64_bit_system
the old code is OK here.
#else
__u64 get_sync_data(void *mib[], int nr)
{
      __u64 res1, res2;
      __u64 res3;

      res1 = *((__u64 *) (((void *) per_cpu_ptr(mib[0], i)) + sizeof
(__u64) * nr)));
      synchronize_kernel();
      res2 = *((__u64 *) (((void *) per_cpu_ptr(mib[0], i)) + sizeof
(__u64) * nr)));
      if (res2 < res1) {
            / * Overflow, sync and re-read, the next read is guaranteed to
be greater */
            synchronize_kernel();
            res2 = *((__u64 *) (((void *) per_cpu_ptr(mib[0], i)) + sizeof
(__u64) * nr)));
      }

      /* similar code for mib[1], add both into res3

      return res3;
}
#endif

static __u64
 fold_field(void *mib[], int nr)
{
      ...
      res += get_sync_data(mib, nr);
      ...
}

The value can reduce only once every 4gig increments, which means that
reading res2 after the first
sync_kernel will be less than res1 very rarely (once a few days on a fast
ethernet card). In case res2
is less than res1, doing another sync_kernel and rereading of res2 is
guaranteed to return a value
greater than res1 because another 4Gig iterations of increments couldn't
happen in the time for one
context switch of all cpus. The sync_kernel is needed so that we don't read
the value faster than the
writer is updating the two words.

Does that sound realistic for implementing 64 bit counters ? Or do you have
better or simpler
suggestions ?

Thanks,

- KK

Re: [PATCH]snmp6 64-bit counter support in proc.c

[David S. Miller]

The most portable and simple algorithm to solve this on the reader
side is (and I recommend we don't special case this on 64-bit platforms
just to get wider testing):

	u32 high, low1, low2;

	do {
		low1 = stat & 0xffffffff;
		rmb();
		high = stat >> 32;
		rmb();
		low2 = stat & 0xffffffff;
	} while (low2 < low1);

Something like that.  The idea is to sample the lower 32-bit twice
and if it overflows resample both high and low halfs.

Dave,

Isn't memory barrier used to stop re-ordering of instructions and needs to
be present
in both reader as well as writer to have synchronization since mb is for
the CPU on
which it is executing ? In this case : suppose stat is getting incremented
from
00000000 FFFFFFFF to 00000001 00000000, and stat was read after the low
word was
incremented to 0 (with overflow set), then low1 = 0 and low2 can get
executed before the
low2 is incremented on the other processor, so low2 is still zero. We
return zero, when
the value should be 4G. That why I felt that we need to read second after
making sure
the writer is over, that doesn't assume that writer is faster than reader
and works in all
cases.

Am I wrong here ?

thanks,

- KK

If so, do you think the solution that I proposed earlier would work ? No
doubt it is quite ugly to behold :-)
The one issue with it is one extra cache loading in 99.999999999% of cases
(2 instead of 1) and two
extra loading the remaining % of cases, but this is executed rarely and the
user can always wait for
data instead of penalizing the kernel writers. (synchronize_kernel is also
a little heavy, so maybe there
is a more lightweight mechanism to make sure that writer is finished).

I agree with this statement, if every bug is explained as a "very tiny

leads to one large defective product :-)

and performance also need not be hit much if writers are not penalized as I

I don't understand how your scheme can work.

We're trying to detect if the upper 32-bit half of the 64-bit value
belongs with the lower-half.  We can overflow the lower-half TWICE
in the res1=...res2=... sequence you do, and this res2 reread in the if
branch can overflow itself again, combining a lower and upper half which
do not belong to each other.

This is not so trivial to fix, see? :)

Hi Dave,

The snippet assumed that the number will not overflow 4G times twice within
two reads, which I thought was quite a reasonable assumption.

I think a fast and clean solution is using Seq locks, which is how
jiffies_64
is implemented on 32 bit systems. The writers always get the spin lock (can
be per cpu with zero contention/thrashing) and increment the 'seq' number
of
seqlock data struct (all inside write_seqlock), then modify the 64 bit
counter,
and release the lock which increases the 'seq' again. The readers don't get
a lock at all, they just read the 'seq' before and after the reading of the
64 bit
counter, and if it changed, it needs to repeat this cycle of reads. In this
case,
no comparison of high/low order words are also needed. Does that sound
better ?

I don't understand how your scheme can work.

We're trying to detect if the upper 32-bit half of the 64-bit value
belongs with the lower-half.  We can overflow the lower-half TWICE
in the res1=...res2=... sequence you do, and this res2 reread in the if
branch can overflow itself again, combining a lower and upper half which
do not belong to each other.

This is not so trivial to fix, see? :)

Well, I thought the goal was to move the expensive part of doing
this out of the writers, which we assume will exceed readers.
Seq locks favor readers, and assume that the write is the less
common operation.

Putting seq locks around every stat counter bump is going to plump
up the code a lot.

Maybe your idea and original assumption are fine, in essence we live
with this now, don't we? :-)

Perhaps there are some better ideas?

Yes. Dave, could we create a new interface to avoid the spin_lock?

Example 1:
modify write_seqlock(set_lock *s) to write_seqlock(seq_lock *s, int lock),
it will modify all calling routines.

Example 2:
write a new interface write_seqlock_percpu(), which gets rid of the
spin_lock, we can call by a different name, since there is no lock.

This solution doesn't favor writers also. How about do some udelay in the
reader to avoid modifing the writers?
