* tcp: Fit struct tcp_conn into a single 64-byte cachelineStefano Brivio2022-03-292-137/+166
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...by: - storing the chained-hash next connection pointer as numeric reference rather than as pointer - storing the MSS as 14-bit value, and rounding it - using only the effective amount of bits needed to store the hash bucket number - explicitly limiting window scaling factors to 4-bit values (maximum factor is 14, from RFC 7323) - scaling SO_SNDBUF values, and using a 8-bit representation for the duplicate ACK sequence - keeping window values unscaled, as received and sent Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* test/perf: Work-around for virtio_net hang before long streams from guestStefano Brivio2022-03-292-0/+30
| | | | | | | I didn't have time to investigate the root cause for the virtio_net TX hang yet. Add a quick work-around for the moment being. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp_splice: Close sockets right away on high number of open filesStefano Brivio2022-03-295-7/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We can't take for granted that the hard limit for open files is big enough as to allow to delay closing sockets to a timer. Store the value of RTLIMIT_NOFILE we set at start, and use it to understand if we're approaching the limit with pending, spliced TCP connections. If that's the case, close sockets right away as soon as they're not needed, instead of deferring this task to a timer. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Rework timers to use timerfd instead of periodic bitmap scanStefano Brivio2022-03-295-241/+288
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With a lot of concurrent connections, the bitmap scan approach is not really sustainable. Switch to per-connection timerfd timers, set based on events and on two new flags, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE and ACK_TO_TAP_DUE. Timers are added to the common epoll list, and implement the existing timeouts. While at it, drop the CONN_ prefix from flag names, otherwise they get quite long, and fix the logic to decide if a connection has a local, possibly unreachable endpoint: we shouldn't go through the rest of tcp_conn_from_tap() if we reset the connection due to a successful bind(2), and we'll get EACCES if the port number is low.

* tcp, udp, util: Enforce 24-bit limit on socket numbersStefano Brivio2022-03-295-1/+42
| | | | | | | This should never happen, but there are no formal guarantees: ensure socket numbers are below SOCKET_MAX. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test, seccomp, Makefile: Switch to valgrind runs for passt functional testsStefano Brivio2022-03-298-14/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass to seccomp.sh a list of additional syscalls valgrind needs as EXTRA_SYSCALLS in a new 'valgrind' make target, and add corresponding support in seccomp.sh itself. In test setup functions, start passt with valgrind, but not for performance tests. Add tests checking that valgrind exits without errors after all the other tests in the group are done.

* udp: Use flags for local, loopback, and configured unicast bindsStefano Brivio2022-03-281-25/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | There's no value in keeping a separate timestamp for activity and for aging of local binds, given that they have the same timeout. Reduce that to a single timestamp, with a flag indicating the local bind. Also use flags instead of separate int fields for loopback and configured unicast address usage as source address.

| | | | | | | | | | ...it became too hard to follow: split it off to udp_sock_fill_data_v{4,6}. While at it, use IN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL(a, b), courtesy of netinet/in.h, instead of open-coded memcmp(). Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* tcp: Refactor to use events instead of states, split out spliced implementationStefano Brivio2022-03-287-1501/+1755
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using events and flags instead of states makes the implementation much more straightforward: actions are mostly centered on events that occurred on the connection rather than states. An example is given by the ESTABLISHED_SOCK_FIN_SENT and FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN abominations: we don't actually care about which side started closing the connection to handle closing of connection halves. Split out the spliced implementation, as it has very little in common with the "regular" TCP path. Refactor things here and there to improve clarity. Add helpers to trace where resets and flag settings come from. No functional changes intended. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* passt, pasta: Run-time selection of AVX2 buildStefano Brivio2022-02-289-48/+92
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines. For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.

* seccomp: Adjust list of allowed syscalls for armv6l, armv7lStefano Brivio2022-02-263-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | It looks like glibc commonly implements clock_gettime(2) with clock_gettime64(), and uses recv() instead of recvfrom(), send() instead of sendto(), and sigreturn() instead of rt_sigreturn() on armv6l and armv7l.
