That sounds like there's an overflow somewhere.

Looking through the recent patches in this area, my prime suspect
is the attached patch. Does reverting it make any difference?

    pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6
    
    Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time
    resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per
    nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on
    rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is
    assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up
    to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low
    rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full
    use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using
    older iproute2 should be safe too.)
    
    This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code
    fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately
    eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

* HFSC classes going out of bounds, regression in recent kernels?

Hi

I notice on one of my QoS machines that HFSC start going out of bandwidth 
limits. The most terrible thing - it happens suddenly, and if i just relaunch 
QoS script - everything will work fine.
I'm not sure it is not my mistake, but most probably it is a bug.
I can't tell for sure when it is happened, last kernel was on this machine 
2.6.28 i guess, or maybe even older.

The only possible cause - that i must setup stab for each qdisc, not only 
root. But i see it goes wild too much on graphs (up to 25-26 Mbps for 5 min 
average).
Here is qdisc setup:

qdisc bfifo 110: parent 1:110 limit 100000b
qdisc hfsc 1: root refcnt 2
 linklayer ethernet overhead 4 mpu 64 mtu 2047 tsize 512
qdisc bfifo 120: parent 1:120 limit 100000b
qdisc bfifo 130: parent 1:130 limit 100000b
qdisc bfifo 140: parent 1:140 limit 100000b
qdisc bfifo 150: parent 1:150 limit 1000000b
qdisc bfifo 160: parent 1:160 limit 100000b
qdisc bfifo 170: parent 1:170 limit 100000b
qdisc bfifo 180: parent 1:180 limit 100000b
qdisc bfifo 190: parent 1:190 limit 100000b


All offloading (except checksumming) disabled on eth0 and eth0.33.


Here is example of stats, on this snapshot total bandwidth goes out of bounds 
20Mbit/s to 21.6 Mbit/s.

No, I was only considering this mostly as a debugging aid, before RPS is
stable, because mismatches could be unnoticed and performance not
optimal.

That should work. I switched to that in the older xilinx_lltemac driver
without any problem.

Moving those locks to bh-locks will not resolve this.  I tried that
yesterday and tried your new patch today without success.  That warning
is a WARN_ON_ONCE so you need to reboot to see that it is still a
problem.  Simply unloading and loading the new module is not an accurate
test.

Also, my system still hangs when removing the bonding module.  I do not
think you intended to fix this with the patch, but wanted it to be clear
to everyone on the list.

You should also configure your kernel with a some of the lock debugging
enabled.  I've been using the following:

CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y

Here is the output when I remove a slave from the bond.  My
xmit_roundrobin patch from earlier (replacing read_lock with
read_trylock) was applied.  It might be helpful for you when debugging
these issues.

events/1/10 just changed the state of lock:
 (&bonding_netdev_xmit_lock_key){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff812b0e75>] queue_process+0x83/0x160
but this lock was taken by another, SOFTIRQ-safe lock in the past:
 (&(&dev->tx_global_lock)->rlock){+.-...}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.


other info that might help us debug this:

* [PATCH] packet: support for TX time stamps on RAW sockets
From: Richard Cochran @ 2010-04-06 14:30 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: patrick.ohly

Enable the SO_TIMESTAMPING socket infrastructure for raw packet sockets.
For lack of a better idea, we have elected to use PACKET_RECV_OUTPUT for
the control message cmsg_type. This macro currently is not used anywhere
within the kernel.

Similar support for UDP and CAN sockets was added in commit
51f31cabe3ce5345b51e4a4f82138b38c4d5dc91

Okay, could be a sysctl with vmalloc.

If packets for a connection are always received on the same device, is
it reasonable to assume the rxhash is constant for that connection?

I suppose it's possible that packets for a same sockets are being
constantly received on two different devices that are giving different
rxhashes.  This would already be bad in that OOO is probably happening
anyway.  I don't know if thrashing the sock_flow_table is going to
aggravate this scenario much.

Are there any other degenerative cases you're worried about?

Just want to ack you here, I upgraded a 2.6.18 kernel to 2.6.33.1 on a
shipping product and the performance(hackbench, latency, cpu
usage,etc) is a lot worse on the same hardware platform. We tried
2.6.27 before and it's also bad. I'm tring various CONFIG options and
so far nothing really helped. I'm using the RT patch.

Is flex_array better than vmalloc()?

Herbert would give better answers. I dont think what Eduardo is 
doing is correct. You cant just start factoring in tcp headers
at the xfrm level - and besides, the mtu calculation
already takes care tunnel headers - so tcp should be able to 
compute correct MSS.

jamal

As noticed in review of 2/4, this needs to be fixed by calling
flow object delete() unconditionally if genid is outdated. I'll
repost with this fixed for next iteration.

Running on a preprod machine here, seems fine.

Some questions :

1) The need to add "rps_flow_entries=xxx" at boot time is problematic.
   Maybe we can allow it being dynamic (and use vmalloc() instead of
alloc_large_system_hash())

2) inet_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash);

	It should have a check to make sure some part of the stack doesnt feed
many different rxhash for a given socket (Make sure we dont pollute flow
table with pseudo random values)

3) UDP connected sockets dont benefit of RFS currently
   (Not sure many apps use connected UDP sockets, I do have some of them
in house)

I am trying following code for IPV4 only :

You are right. I completely missed the flushing there. It was
just systematic conversion of deleting the bundles to incrementing
the genid.

Which also makes me think of another issue. The resolver does
not get notice if the genid was outdated. So it might end up
the old policies from bundle after xfrm_policy_insert(). I think
we should explicitly call ops->delete() in flow_cache_lookup if
the flow genid was outdated. (I remember actually doing this,
but also removing it when I was hunting my the one hlist related
corruption bug.)

Do we still need this since we're invalidating the whole flow
cache?

The current code is necessary since otherwise the bundles won't
get freed.  But with your new code, this is essentially doing
nothing, no?

I am wondering if introducing hardware computed rxhash wouldnt force us
to clear rxhash in several paths (tunneling...), so that we perform a
software recompute after decapsulation, to enable RFS

Not mandatory but recommended I would say...

* [RFC][PATCH] ipmr: Fix struct mfcctl to be independent of MAXVIFS.
From: Eric W. Biederman @ 2010-04-06 12:16 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: David S. Miller, Eric Dumazet, Patrick McHardy, Ilia K, Tom Goff


Right now if you recompile the kernel to support more VIFS users of
the MRT_ADD_VIF and MRT_DEL_VIF will break because the ABI changes.

Correct this by forcing the number of VIFS handled in mfcctl to 32.
Allow for larger MAXVIFS by placing a second array of ttls at the end
of struct mfcctl.

struct mfcctl is insane.  The last 4 fields are dead, and the mfc_ttls
array is only 2 byte aligned, with a 2 byte hole right after it.

In-Reply-To: <4BB8C2CA.6040102@Calva.COM>

I have reproduced a few ways.
1. X25_MASK_THROUGHPUT on the x25_subscript_struct, then call
SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP, then call SIOCX25FACILITIES without setting the
throughput field. Call connect.
2. No subscrip setting, call SIOCX25FACILITIES without setting the
throughput field. Call connect.
3. No subcrip, no facilities ioctl, call connect.

The patch removes the bad facility and makes the router accept the
call for the above cases.
I don't currently have a setup to test both direction throughput negotiation.

From: David Miller @ 2010-04-06 11:33 UTC (permalink / raw)

The tcp splice oops is pretty nasty... anyways.

1) Fixup rcu_deref calls done outside RCU read lock in netlabel,
   from Paul Moore.

2) gianfar fixes (memory leak on close, message alignment) from
   Andy Fleming and Kim Philips.

3) MAC address probing fix in smc91c92_cs from Ken Kawasaki.

4) Some small wireless fixes via John Linville and co. including
   a few device ID additions.
	a) iwlwifi bool conversion to flags broke regulatory handling
	b) iwlwifi tfd counting on 4965 chips fix
	c) mac80211's reg_regdb_search_lock needs to be a mutex
	d) off-by-one test fix in wireless mesh metric handling

5) New cxgb4 driver.

6) TCP doesn't maintain queue comsumed state properly across socket
   lock dropping (and thus backlog processing) during splice so this
   confuses tcp_collapse() and we crash.  Fix from Steven J. Magnani

7) bond_uninit() deadlock fix from Amerigo Wang.

8) be2net fixes (redboot flashing, big endian flashing and VLAN rx
   issues) from Ajit Khaparde.

9) stmmac needs crc32, from Carmelo AMOROSO

10) round-robin bonding does htons() on a u8 :-)  Fix from Eric
    Dumazet.

11) Missing lock release in sgisseq driver, from Julia Lawall

12) Need to validate socket address length before derefing in
    socket ->connect() handlers.  From Changli Gao.
