Sorry about making more noise but I realized there's
something I don't understand here.

Is it true that all this does is stick the destructor in the frag list?

If so, could this deadlock (or delay application significantly) if tcp
has queued the skb on the write queue but is not transmitting it, while
the application is waiting for pages to complete?

* [PATCH 0/3] tcp: Validate recv queue on repair and related stuff
From: Pavel Emelyanov @ 2012-05-10 11:49 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller, Eric Dumazet; +Cc: Linux Netdev List

As noted by Eric, no checks are performed when repairing data in tcp
read queue. He also suggested that the tcp_try_rmem_schedule() gets
out-lined for this.

This set does both of the above, more details are in patch comments.

Applies to net-next.

Thanks,

  To: David Miller, Eric Dumazet; +Cc: Linux Netdev List
In-Reply-To: <4FABAB39.6090201@parallels.com>

It actually works on the input queue and will use its read mem
routines, thus it's better to have in in the tcp_input.c file.

Why do you need to take the ip header into account here? Your patch breaks
pmtu discovery, at least on tunnel mode with aes-sha1 (aes blocksize 16 bytes).

With your patch applied:

tracepath -n 192.168.1.2
 1?: [LOCALHOST]     pmtu 1442
 1:  send failed
 1:  send failed
     Resume: pmtu 1442

Without your patch:

tracepath -n 192.168.1.2
 1?: [LOCALHOST]     pmtu 1438
 1:  192.168.1.2       0.736ms reached
 1:  192.168.1.2       0.390ms reached
     Resume: pmtu 1438 hops 1 back 64 

Your patch increases the mtu by 4 bytes. Be aware that adding
one byte of payload may increase the packet size up to 16 bytes
in the case of aes, as we have to pad the encryption payload
always to a multiple of the cipher blocksize.

Btw. why we are doing the calculation above for transport mode?

My test code, which is a bit overly complex for this because it also
tries to demonstrate corruption on the wire, is attached.

Using dd I suspect you probably need to increase the block size, and
possibly enable O_DIRECT (conv=direct?)

My typical scenario has been to mount a remote NFS and run
tcpdump -s 4096 -x -ne -v -i eth0 'host $client and ip[184:4] == 0x55555555'
to watch for on-wire corruption.

FYI I've triggered a BUG_ON in my local debug patches with your series
applied, I'm just investigating whether its my debugging or something in
the series which causes it.

After that I'll try it with local NFS and VMs with bridging etc to test
the extra aspects which your series is exercising.

Ian.

According to the RFC4944 (Transmission of IPv6 Packets over
IEEE 802.15.4 Networks), chapter 7:

The IPv6 link-local address [RFC4291] for an IEEE 802.15.4 interface
is formed by appending the Interface Identifier, as defined above, to
the prefix FE80::/64.

  10 bits            54 bits                  64 bits
+----------+-----------------------+----------------------------+
|1111111010|         (zeros)       |    Interface Identifier    |
+----------+-----------------------+----------------------------+

This patch adds IPv6 address generation support for the 6lowpan
interfaces.

No, you cant do that.

pskb_may_pull() can fail, and you crash your machine instead of graceful
error reporting.

When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless
systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part
of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the
use of disks and thin clients.

The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the
Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download
There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD
at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP
The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the
fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if
swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem.

The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like
normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive
packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory
they might need. Some years ago, Peter Ziljstra developed a series of
patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution
is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily
from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to
supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with
preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use
by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS.

Patch 1 serialises access to min_free_kbytes. It's not strictly needed
	by this series but as the series cares about watermarks in
	general, it's a harmless fix. It could be merged independently
	and may be if CMA is merged in advance.

Patch 2 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to
	preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations
	to callers that are freeing memory.

Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC
	reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC.

Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves
	for later use by network packet processing.

Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set.

Patch 7 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required

Patches 8-14 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when
	the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If
	packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under
	low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets
	are dropped.

	Patch 11 reintroduces __netdev_alloc_page which the networking
	folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate
	pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a
	strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being
	that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should
	not fail.

Patch 14 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the
	common case.

Patch 15 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use
	PFMEMALLOC if necessary.

Patch 16 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve
	to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on
	a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted.  It is
	expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running
	will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and
	the throttled processes are woken up.

Patch 17 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled

Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf
on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone
and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators
reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant
performance variances.

For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a
swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create
anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total
size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under
memory pressure.

Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and
runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different
as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel
completed the test 40% faster.

There is a race between the min_free_kbytes sysctl, memory hotplug
and transparent hugepage support enablement.  Memory hotplug uses a
zonelists_mutex to avoid a race when building zonelists. Reuse it to
serialise watermark updates.

* [PATCH 02/17] mm: sl[au]b: Add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages
From: Mel Gorman @ 2012-05-10 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton
  Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
	Peter Zijlstra, Mike Christie, Eric B Munson, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1336657510-24378-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>

Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the
machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only
callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing
an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once
they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers
consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access
to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves.

When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are
returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine
how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with
page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the
PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate
a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that
it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC
reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the
necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests
to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB.

In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators
can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available
because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

* [PATCH 03/17] mm: slub: Optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks
From: Mel Gorman @ 2012-05-10 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton
  Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
	Peter Zijlstra, Mike Christie, Eric B Munson, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1336657510-24378-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>

From: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>

This patch removes the check for pfmemalloc from the alloc hotpath and
puts the logic after the election of a new per cpu slab. For a pfmemalloc
page we do not use the fast path but force the use of the slow path which
is also used for the debug case.

This has the side-effect of weakening pfmemalloc processing in the
following way;

1. A process that is allocating for network swap calls __slab_alloc.
   pfmemalloc_match is true so the freelist is loaded and c->freelist is
   now pointing to a pfmemalloc page.

2. A process that is attempting normal allocations calls slab_alloc,
   finds the pfmemalloc page on the freelist and uses it because it did
   not check pfmemalloc_match()

The patch allows non-pfmemalloc allocations to use pfmemalloc pages with
the kmalloc slabs being the most vunerable caches on the grounds they
are most likely to have a mix of pfmemalloc and !pfmemalloc requests. A
later patch will still protect the system as processes will get throttled
if the pfmemalloc reserves get depleted but performance will not degrade
as smoothly.

* [PATCH 04/17] mm: Introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves
From: Mel Gorman @ 2012-05-10 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton
  Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
	Peter Zijlstra, Mike Christie, Eric B Munson, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1336657510-24378-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>

__GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks,
much like PF_MEMALLOC. It allows one to pass along the memalloc state
in object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags,
such as sk->sk_allocation. This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC
as callers using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag
which is now enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.

* [PATCH 05/17] mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context
From: Mel Gorman @ 2012-05-10 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton
  Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
	Peter Zijlstra, Mike Christie, Eric B Munson, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1336657510-24378-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>

This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make
use of PF_MEMALLOC.

Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being
associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle
with - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when
in interrupts (hard or soft) context.

Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some
trickery.  We basically borrow the task flags from whatever process
happens to be preempted by the softirq.

So we modify the gfp to alloc flags mapping to not exclude task flags
in softirq context, and modify the softirq code to save, clear and
restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.

The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag
doesn't leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's
PF_MEMALLOC flag cannot leak back into the preempted process.

* [PATCH 06/17] mm: Only set page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was used
From: Mel Gorman @ 2012-05-10 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton
  Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
	Peter Zijlstra, Mike Christie, Eric B Munson, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1336657510-24378-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>

__alloc_pages_slowpath() is called when the number of free pages is below
the low watermark. If the caller is entitled to use ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
then the page will be marked page->pfmemalloc.  This protects more pages
than are strictly necessary as we only need to protect pages allocated
below the min watermark (the pfmemalloc reserves).

This patch only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was
required to allocate the page.

Introduce sk_allocation(), this function allows to inject sock specific
flags to each sock related allocation. It is only used on allocation
paths that may be required for writing pages back to network storage.

handled kernel side, exposing such a socket to user-space is a bug.

There is a risk that the reserves be depleted so for now, the
administrator is responsible for increasing min_free_kbytes as
necessary to prevent deadlock for their workloads.

* [PATCH 10/17] netvm: Allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves
From: Mel Gorman @ 2012-05-10 13:45 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton
  Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
	Peter Zijlstra, Mike Christie, Eric B Munson, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1336657510-24378-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>

Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall
back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the
reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from
the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page
reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available
for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this
packet loss.
