* [PATCH v4 net-next 14/16] tcp: new CC hook to set sending rate with rate_sample in any CA state

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com>

This commit introduces an optional new "omnipotent" hook,
cong_control(), for congestion control modules. The cong_control()
function is called at the end of processing an ACK (i.e., after
updating sequence numbers, the SACK scoreboard, and loss
detection). At that moment we have precise delivery rate information
the congestion control module can use to control the sending behavior
(using cwnd, TSO skb size, and pacing rate) in any CA state.

This function can also be used by a congestion control that prefers
not to use the default cwnd reduction approach (i.e., the PRR
algorithm) during CA_Recovery to control the cwnd and sending rate
during loss recovery.

We take advantage of the fact that recent changes defer the
retransmission or transmission of new data (e.g. by F-RTO) in recovery
until the new tcp_cong_control() function is run.

With this commit, we only run tcp_update_pacing_rate() if the
congestion control is not using this new API. New congestion controls
which use the new API do not want the TCP stack to run the default
pacing rate calculation and overwrite whatever pacing rate they have
chosen at initialization time.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 13/16] tcp: allow congestion control to expand send buffer differently
From: Neal Cardwell @ 2016-09-20  3:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller
  Cc: netdev, Yuchung Cheng, Van Jacobson, Neal Cardwell,

In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com>

Currently the TCP send buffer expands to twice cwnd, in order to allow
limited transmits in the CA_Recovery state. This assumes that cwnd
does not increase in the CA_Recovery.

For some congestion control algorithms, like the upcoming BBR module,
if the losses in recovery do not indicate congestion then we may
continue to raise cwnd multiplicatively in recovery. In such cases the
current multiplier will falsely limit the sending rate, much as if it
were limited by the application.

This commit adds an optional congestion control callback to use a
different multiplier to expand the TCP send buffer. For congestion
control modules that do not specificy this callback, TCP continues to
use the previous default of 2.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 11/16] tcp: export tcp_tso_autosize() and parameterize minimum number of TSO segments

  To: David Miller

In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

To allow congestion control modules to use the default TSO auto-sizing
algorithm as one of the ingredients in their own decision about TSO sizing:

1) Export tcp_tso_autosize() so that CC modules can use it.

2) Change tcp_tso_autosize() to allow callers to specify a minimum
   number of segments per TSO skb, in case the congestion control
   module has a different notion of the best floor for TSO skbs for
   the connection right now. For very low-rate paths or policed
   connections it can be appropriate to use smaller TSO skbs.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 10/16] tcp: allow congestion control module to request TSO skb segment count

Add the tso_segs_goal() function in tcp_congestion_ops to allow the
congestion control module to specify the number of segments that
should be in a TSO skb sent by tcp_write_xmit() and
tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). The congestion control module can either
request a particular number of segments in TSO skb that we transmit,
or return 0 if it doesn't care.

This allows the upcoming BBR congestion control module to select small
TSO skb sizes if the module detects that the bottleneck bandwidth is
very low, or that the connection is policed to a low rate.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 09/16] tcp: export data delivery rate

In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com>

This commit export two new fields in struct tcp_info:

  tcpi_delivery_rate: The most recent goodput, as measured by
    tcp_rate_gen(). If the socket is limited by the sending
    application (e.g., no data to send), it reports the highest
    measurement instead of the most recent. The unit is bytes per
    second (like other rate fields in tcp_info).

  tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited: A boolean indicating if the goodput
    was measured when the socket's throughput was limited by the
    sending application.

This delivery rate information can be useful for applications that
want to know the current throughput the TCP connection is seeing,
e.g. adaptive bitrate video streaming. It can also be very useful for
debugging or troubleshooting.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 07/16] tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection
From: Neal Cardwell @ 2016-09-20  3:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller
  Cc: netdev, Yuchung Cheng, Van Jacobson, Neal Cardwell,

In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com>

This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a
per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control
modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in
this series.

Key state:

tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not)
	       delivered so far. This is an already-existing field.

tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated.

Algorithm:

A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis:

  d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK
  t1: the current time after processing the ACK

  d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted
  t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted

When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control
block in tcp_rate_skb_sent().

When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed
or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct
to reflect the latest (d0, t0).

Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing
(d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us.

One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then
tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is
starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case,
we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp.

At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was
transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to
phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery
rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are
times at which packets were marked delivered.

If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted
by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps
caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects
both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach
this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT
(duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the
associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth
overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation
from:

    bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt

to the following:

    bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt)

In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating
send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to
ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 08/16] tcp: track application-limited rate samples
From: Neal Cardwell @ 2016-09-20  3:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller
  Cc: netdev, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh, Van Jacobson, Neal Cardwell,

In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com>

This commit adds code to track whether the delivery rate represented
by each rate_sample was limited by the application.

Upon each transmit, we store in the is_app_limited field in the skb a
boolean bit indicating whether there is a known "bubble in the pipe":
a point in the rate sample interval where the sender was
application-limited, and did not transmit even though the cwnd and
pacing rate allowed it.

This logic marks the flow app-limited on a write if *all* of the
following are true:

  1) There is less than 1 MSS of unsent data in the write queue
     available to transmit.

  2) There is no packet in the sender's queues (e.g. in fq or the NIC
     tx queue).

  3) The connection is not limited by cwnd.

  4) There are no lost packets to retransmit.

The tcp_rate_check_app_limited() code in tcp_rate.c determines whether
the connection is application-limited at the moment. If the flow is
application-limited, it sets the tp->app_limited field. If the flow is
application-limited then that means there is effectively a "bubble" of
silence in the pipe now, and this silence will be reflected in a lower
bandwidth sample for any rate samples from now until we get an ACK
indicating this bubble has exited the pipe: specifically, until we get
an ACK for the next packet we transmit.

When we send every skb we record in scb->tx.is_app_limited whether the
resulting rate sample will be application-limited.

The code in tcp_rate_gen() checks to see when it is safe to mark all
known application-limited bubbles of silence as having exited the
pipe. It does this by checking to see when the delivered count moves
past the tp->app_limited marker. At this point it zeroes the
tp->app_limited marker, as all known bubbles are out of the pipe.

We make room for the tx.is_app_limited bit in the skb by borrowing a
bit from the in_flight field used by NV to record the number of bytes
in flight. The receive window in the TCP header is 16 bits, and the
max receive window scaling shift factor is 14 (RFC 1323). So the max
receive window offered by the TCP protocol is 2^(16+14) = 2^30. So we
only need 30 bits for the tx.in_flight used by NV.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 06/16] tcp: count packets marked lost for a TCP connection

Count the number of packets that a TCP connection marks lost.

Congestion control modules can use this loss rate information for more
intelligent decisions about how fast to send.

Specifically, this is used in TCP BBR policer detection. BBR uses a
high packet loss rate as one signal in its policer detection and
policer bandwidth estimation algorithm.

The BBR policer detection algorithm cannot simply track retransmits,
because a retransmit can be (and often is) an indicator of packets
lost long, long ago. This is particularly true in a long CA_Loss
period that repairs the initial massive losses when a policer kicks
in.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 05/16] tcp: switch back to proper tcp_skb_cb size check in tcp_init()

In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

Revert to the tcp_skb_cb size check that tcp_init() had before commit
b4772ef879a8 ("net: use common macro for assering skb->cb[] available
size in protocol families"). As related commit 744d5a3e9fe2 ("net:
move skb->dropcount to skb->cb[]") explains, the
sock_skb_cb_check_size() mechanism was added to ensure that there is
space for dropcount, "for protocol families using it". But TCP is not
a protocol using dropcount, so tcp_init() doesn't need to provision
space for dropcount in the skb->cb[], and thus we can revert to the
older form of the tcp_skb_cb size check. Doing so allows TCP to use 4
more bytes of the skb->cb[] space.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 04/16] net_sched: sch_fq: add low_rate_threshold parameter
From: Neal Cardwell @ 2016-09-20  3:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller
  Cc: netdev, Eric Dumazet, Van Jacobson, Neal Cardwell, Yuchung Cheng,
	Nandita Dukkipati, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh
In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

This commit adds to the fq module a low_rate_threshold parameter to
insert a delay after all packets if the socket requests a pacing rate
below the threshold.

This helps achieve more precise control of the sending rate with
low-rate paths, especially policers. The basic issue is that if a
congestion control module detects a policer at a certain rate, it may
want fq to be able to shape to that policed rate. That way the sender
can avoid policer drops by having the packets arrive at the policer at
or just under the policed rate.

The default threshold of 550Kbps was chosen analytically so that for
policers or links at 500Kbps or 512Kbps fq would very likely invoke
this mechanism, even if the pacing rate was briefly slightly above the
available bandwidth. This value was then empirically validated with
two years of production testing on YouTube video servers.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 03/16] tcp: use windowed min filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation
From: Neal Cardwell @ 2016-09-20  3:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller
  Cc: netdev, Neal Cardwell, Van Jacobson, Yuchung Cheng,
	Nandita Dukkipati, Eric Dumazet, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh
In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

Refactor the TCP min_rtt code to reuse the new win_minmax library in
lib/win_minmax.c to simplify the TCP code.

This is a pure refactor: the functionality is exactly the same. We
just moved the windowed min code to make TCP easier to read and
maintain, and to allow other parts of the kernel to use the windowed
min/max filter code.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 02/16] lib/win_minmax: windowed min or max estimator
From: Neal Cardwell @ 2016-09-20  3:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller
  Cc: netdev, Neal Cardwell, Van Jacobson, Yuchung Cheng,
	Nandita Dukkipati, Eric Dumazet, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh
In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

This commit introduces a generic library to estimate either the min or
max value of a time-varying variable over a recent time window. This
is code originally from Kathleen Nichols. The current form of the code
is from Van Jacobson.

A single struct minmax_sample will track the estimated windowed-max
value of the series if you call minmax_running_max() or the estimated
windowed-min value of the series if you call minmax_running_min().

Nearly equivalent code is already in place for minimum RTT estimation
in the TCP stack. This commit extracts that code and generalizes it to
handle both min and max. Moving the code here reduces the footprint
and complexity of the TCP code base and makes the filter generally
available for other parts of the codebase, including an upcoming TCP
congestion control module.

This library works well for time series where the measurements are
smoothly increasing or decreasing.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 01/16] tcp: cdg: rename struct minmax in tcp_cdg.c to avoid a naming conflict

In-Reply-To: <1474342763-16715-1-git-send-email-ncardwell@google.com>

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com>

The upcoming change "lib/win_minmax: windowed min or max estimator"
introduces a struct called minmax, which is then included in
include/linux/tcp.h in the upcoming change "tcp: use windowed min
filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation". This would create a
compilation error for tcp_cdg.c, which defines its own minmax
struct. To avoid this naming conflict (and potentially others in the
future), this commit renames the version used in tcp_cdg.c to
cdg_minmax.

* [PATCH v4 net-next 00/16] tcp: BBR congestion control algorithm
From: Neal Cardwell @ 2016-09-20  3:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller; +Cc: netdev, Neal Cardwell

tcp: BBR congestion control algorithm

This patch series implements a new TCP congestion control algorithm:
BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT). A paper with a detailed
description of BBR will be published in ACM Queue, September-October
2016, as "BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control". BBR is widely
deployed in production at Google.

The patch series starts with a set of supporting infrastructure
changes, including a few that extend the congestion control
framework. The last patch adds BBR as a TCP congestion control
module. Please see individual patches for the details.

- v3 -> v4:
 - Updated tcp_bbr.c in "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control"
   to use const to qualify all the constant parameters.
   Thanks to Stephen Hemminger.
 - In "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control", remove the bbr_rate_kbps()
   function, which had a 64-bit divide that would be problematic on some
   architectures, and just use bbr_rate_bytes_per_sec() directly.
   Thanks to Kenneth Klette Jonassen for suggesting this.
 - In "tcp: switch back to proper tcp_skb_cb size check in tcp_init()",
   switched from sizeof(skb->cb) to FIELD_SIZEOF.
   Thanks to Lance Richardson for suggesting this.
 - Updated "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control" commit message with
   performance data, more details about deployment at Google, and
   another reminder to use fq with BBR.
 - Updated tcp_bbr.c in "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control"
   to use MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL").

- v2 -> v3: fix another issue caught by build bots:
 - adjust rate_sample struct initialization syntax to allow gcc-4.4 to compile
   the "tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection" patch; also
   adjusted some similar syntax in "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control"

- v1 -> v2: fix issues caught by build bots:
 - fix "tcp: export data delivery rate" to use rate64 instead of rate,
   so there is a 64-bit numerator for the do_div call
 - fix conflicting definitions for minmax caused by
   "tcp: use windowed min filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation"
   with a new commit:
   tcp: cdg: rename struct minmax in tcp_cdg.c to avoid a naming conflict
 - fix warning about the use of __packed in
   "tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection",
   which involves the addition of a new commit:
   tcp: switch back to proper tcp_skb_cb size check in tcp_init()  

Eric Dumazet (2):
  net_sched: sch_fq: add low_rate_threshold parameter
  tcp: switch back to proper tcp_skb_cb size check in tcp_init()

* [PATCH net-next] net: ethernet: mediatek: enhance with avoiding superfluous assignment inside mtk_get_ethtool_stats
From: sean.wang @ 2016-09-20  3:26 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: john, davem; +Cc: nbd, netdev, linux-mediatek, keyhaede, objelf, Sean Wang

From: Sean Wang <sean.wang@mediatek.com>

data_src is unchanged inside the loop, so this patch moves
the assignment to outside the loop to avoid unnecessarily
assignment

Since there's a need for a v3, note that the above summary is wrong.

Ouch! Wrong s/ret/err/ here.

Here as well. Keep ret or use mv88e6xxx_read().
