* tcp: Increase LOW_RTT_THRESHOLD to 10usStefano Brivio2021-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | Sometimes we can get up to 6-7us minimum RTT for local connections too. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Reduce size of socket poolsStefano Brivio2021-10-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | A large pool helps marginally with CRR latency, but has detrimental effects on TCP memory pressure. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Increase TCP_TAP_FRAMES once moreStefano Brivio2021-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | With an increased sending buffer size for the AF_UNIX socket, we can get slightly lower overhead. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* tcp: Check pending ACK every two thirds of window, not every halfStefano Brivio2021-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | ...to spare some syscalls. If it's not enough, the timer will take care of it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Don't set ACK flag while merely updating window valueStefano Brivio2021-10-041-15/+19
| | | | | | The receiver might take this as a duplicate ACK othewise. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Set TCP_TAP_FRAMES back to 32Stefano Brivio2021-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | Now that we fixed the issue with small receiving buffers, we can safely increase this back and get slightly lower syscall overhead. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Probe net.core.{r,w}mem_max, don't set SO_{RCV,SND}BUF if lowStefano Brivio2021-10-041-16/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If net.core.rmem_max and net.core.wmem_max sysctls have low values, we can get bigger buffers by not trying to set them high -- the kernel would lock their values to what we get. Try, instead, to get bigger buffers by queueing as much as possible, and if maximum values in tcp_wmem and tcp_rmem are bigger than this, that will work. While at it, drop QUICKACK option for non-spliced sockets, I set that earlier by mistake. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Check if connection is local or low RTT was seen before using large MSSStefano Brivio2021-10-041-0/+59
| | | | | | | | If the connection is local or the RTT was comparable to the time it takes to queue a batch of messages, we can safely use a large MSS regardless of the sending buffer, but otherwise not. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Adjust usage of sending buffer depending on its sizeStefano Brivio2021-10-041-12/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If we start with a very small sending buffer, we can make the kernel expand it if we cause the congestion window to get bigger, but this won't reliably happen if we use just half (other half is accounted as overhead). Scale usage depending on its own size, we might eventually get some retransmissions because we can't queue messages the sender sends us in-window, but it's better than keeping that small buffer forever. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Derive MSS announced to guest/namespace from configured MTU if presentStefano Brivio2021-09-291-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | ...and from the sending socket only if the MTU is not configured. Otherwise, a connection to a host from a local guest, with a non-loopback destination address, will get its MSS from the MTU of the outbound interface with that address, which is unnecessary as we know the guest can send us larger segments. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* conf, tcp: Periodic detection of bound ports for pasta port forwardingStefano Brivio2021-09-271-53/+239
| | | | | | | | | | Detecting bound ports at start-up time isn't terribly useful: do this periodically instead, if configured. This is only implemented for TCP at the moment, UDP is somewhat more complicated: leave a TODO there. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Rework window handling, timers, add SO_RCVLOWAT and pools for sockets/pipesStefano Brivio2021-09-271-456/+719
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a number of fundamental changes that would be quite messy to split. Summary: - advertised window scaling can be as big as we want, we just need to clamp window sizes to avoid exceeding the size of our "discard" buffer for unacknowledged data from socket - add macros to compare sequence numbers - force sending ACK to guest/tap on PSH segments, always in pasta mode, whenever we see an overlapping segment, or when we reach a given threshold compared to our window - we don't actually use recvmmsg() here, fix comments and label - introduce pools for pre-opened sockets and pipes, to decrease latency on new connections - set receiving and sending buffer sizes to the maximum allowed, kernel will clamp and round appropriately - defer clean-up of spliced and non-spliced connection to timer - in tcp_send_to_tap(), there's no need anymore to keep a large buffer, shrink it down to what we actually need - introduce SO_RCVLOWAT setting and activity tracking for spliced connections, to coalesce data moved by splice() calls as much as possible - as we now have a compacted connection table, there's no need to keep sparse bitmaps tracking connection activity -- simply go through active connections with a loop in the timer handler - always clamp the advertised window to half our sending buffer, too, to minimise retransmissions from the guest/tap - set TCP_QUICKACK for originating socket in spliced connections, there's no need to delay them - fix up timeout for unacknowledged data from socket Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Drop TODO about sequence collision attacksStefano Brivio2021-09-271-1/+0
| | | | | | | A random initial sequence number based on a secret has already been there for a while. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tap: Completely de-serialise input message batchesStefano Brivio2021-09-271-15/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, messages would be passed to protocol handlers in a single batch only if they happened to be dequeued in a row. Packets interleaved between different connections would result in multiple calls to the same protocol handler for a single connection. Instead, keep track of incoming packet descriptors, arrange them in sequences, and call protocol handlers only as we completely sorted input messages in batches.

* tcp: Decrease TCP_TAP_FRAMES to 8Stefano Brivio2021-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | This significantly improves fairness in serving concurrent connections. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* pasta, tcp: Update comment about spliced connection statesStefano Brivio2021-09-271-1/+4
| | | | | | ...we now have SPLICE_FIN_{FROM,TO,BOTH} too. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Don't reset connection from ESTABLISHED state on EPOLLHUPStefano Brivio2021-09-161-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | That might just mean we shut down the socket -- but we still have to go through the other states to ensure a orderly shutdown guest-side. While at it, drop the EPOLLHUP check for unhandled states: we should never hit that, but if we do, resetting the connection at that point is probably the wrong thing to do. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* pasta, tcp: Mask EPOLLIN and EPOLLRDHUP after sending FINStefano Brivio2021-09-161-2/+14
| | | | | | | Now that we dropped EPOLLET, we'll keep getting EPOLLRDHUP, and possibly EPOLLIN, even if there's nothing to read anymore. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* pasta, tcp: Break splice() loop once we've written everything that was readStefano Brivio2021-09-161-2/+7

* pasta, tcp: Don't set SPLICE_FIN_BOTH state on EPOLLHUPStefano Brivio2021-09-161-3/+1
| | | | | | | EPOLLHUP just means we shut down one side of the connection on *one* socket: remember, we have two sockets here. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* pasta, tcp: Don't set TCP_CORK on spliced socketsStefano Brivio2021-09-161-6/+1
| | | | | | | | ...throughput isn't everything: this leads (of course) to horrible latency with small, sparse messages. As a consequence, there's no need to set TCP_NODELAY either. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Fix setting window from maximum ACK sequence in batchStefano Brivio2021-09-161-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | If we're at the first message in a batch, it's safe to get the window value from it, and there's no need to subtract anything for a comparison on that's not even done -- we'll override it later in any case if we find messages with a higher ACK sequence number. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* pasta, tcp: Set pipe descriptor numbers to -1 after closingStefano Brivio2021-09-161-0/+4
| | | | | | ...so that we don't try to close them again, even if harmless. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* pasta, tcp: Drop EPOLLET for spliced, established connectionsStefano Brivio2021-09-161-5/+5

* tcp: Read SO_SNDBUF unconditionallyStefano Brivio2021-09-161-17/+11
| | | | | | | | Checking it only when the cached value is smaller than the current window of the receiver is not enough: it might shrink further while the receiver window is growing. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* tcp: Request retransmission with updated sequence also on partial write to ↵Stefano Brivio2021-09-141-11/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | socket If we couldn't write the whole batch of received packets to the socket, and we have missing segments, we still need to request their retransmission right away, otherwise it will take ages for the guest to figure out we're missing them. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: In ESTABLISHED state, acknowledge segments as they're sent to the socketStefano Brivio2021-09-141-6/+15
| | | | | | | | | ...instead of waiting for the remote peer to do that -- it's especially important in case we request retransmissions from the guest, but it also helps speeding up slow start. This should probably be a configurable behaviour in the future. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Properly time out ACK wait from tapStefano Brivio2021-09-141-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | Seen with iperf3: a control connection is established, no data flows for a while, all segments are acknowledged. The socket starts closing it, and we immediately time out because the last ACK from tap was one minute before that. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Don't mistake a FIN segment with no data for a Fast Retransmit requestStefano Brivio2021-09-141-1/+2
| | | | | | | It carries no data and usually duplicates the previous ACK sequence, but it's just a FIN. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* tcp: Fixes for closing states, spliced connections, out-of-order packets, etc.Stefano Brivio2021-09-091-207/+400
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a number of issues found with some heavier testing with uperf and neper: - in most closing states, we can still accept data, check for EPOLLIN when appropriate - introduce a new state, ESTABLISHED_SOCK_FIN_SENT, to track the fact we already sent a FIN segment to the tap device, for proper sequence number bookkeeping - for pasta mode only: spliced connections also need tracking of (inferred) FIN segments and clean half-pipe shutdowns - streamline resetting epoll_wait bitmaps with a new function, tcp_tap_epoll_mask(), instead of repeating the logic all over the place - set EPOLLET for tap connections too, whenever we are waiting for EPOLLRDHUP or an event from the tap to proceed with data transfer, to avoid useless loops with EPOLLIN set - impose an additional limit on the sending window advertised to the guest, given by SO_SNDBUF: it makes no sense to completely fill the sending buffer and send a zero window: stop a bit before we hit that - handle *all* interrupted system calls as needed - simplify the logic for reordering of out-of-order segments received from tap: it's not a corner case, and the previous logic allowed for deadloops - fix comparison of seen IPv4 address when we get a new connection from a socket directed to the configured guest address Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp, udp: Restore usage of gateway for guest to connect to local hostStefano Brivio2021-09-011-0/+5

* tcp: Proper error handling for sendmmsg() to UNIX domain socketStefano Brivio2021-08-261-37/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As data from socket is forwarded to the guest, sendmmsg() might send fewer bytes than requested in three different ways: - failing altogether with a negative error code -- ignore that, we'll get an error on the UNIX domain socket later if there's really an issue with it and reset the connection to the guest - sending less than 'vlen' messages -- instead of assuming success in that case and waiting for the guest to send a duplicate ACK indicating missing data, update the sequence number according to what was actually sent and spare some retransmissions - somewhat unexpectedly to me, sending 'vlen' or less than 'vlen' messages, returning up to 'vlen', with the last message being partially sent, and no further indication of errors other than the returned msg_len for the last partially sent message being less than iov_len. In this case, we would assume success and proceed as nothing happened. However, qemu would fail to parse any further message, having received a partial descriptor, and eventually close the connection, logging: serious error: oversized packet received,connection terminated. as the length descriptor for the next message would be sourced from the middle of the next successfully sent message, not from its header. Handle this by checking the msg_len returned for the last (even partially) sent message, and force re-sending the missing bytes, if any, with a blocking sendmsg() -- qemu must not receive anything else than that anyway. While at it, allow to send up to 64KiB for each message, the previous 32KiB limit isn't actually required, and just switch to a new message at each iteration on sending buffers, they are already MSS-sized anyway, so the check in the loop isn't really needed.

* tcp: Never send ACK because of pending unacknowleged data when sending SYNStefano Brivio2021-08-241-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With a kernel older than 5.3 (no_snd_wnd set), ack_pending in tcp_send_to_tap() might be true at the beginning of a new connection initiated by a socket. This means we send the first SYN segment to the tap together with ACK set, which is clearly invalid and triggers the receiver to reply with an RST segment right away. Set ack_pending to 0 whenever we're sending a SYN segment. In case of a SYN, ACK segment sent by the caller, the caller passes the ACK flag explicitly. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Drop EPOLLET for non-spliced connectionsStefano Brivio2021-08-241-4/+4
| | | | | | | Socket-facing functions don't guarantee that all data is handled before they return: stick to level-triggered mode for TCP sockets. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Fast re-transmit, more fixes for closing states and no_snd_wndStefano Brivio2021-08-041-45/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | ...and while at it, fix an issue in the calculation of the last IOV buffer size: if we can't receive enough data to fill up the window, the last buffer can be filled completely. Also streamline the code setting iovec lengths if cached values are not matching. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Always allow ACKs when pending, fixes for no_snd_wnd and closing statesStefano Brivio2021-08-041-10/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We won't necessarily have another choice to ACK in a timely fashion if we skip ACKs from a number of states (including ESTABLISHED) when there's enough window left. Check for ACKed bytes as soon as it makes sense. If the sending window is not reported by the kernel, ACK as soon as we queue onto the socket, given that we're forced to use a rather small window. In FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN, we also have to account for the FIN flag sent by the peer in the sequence. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Lower TCP_TAP_FRAMES to 32Stefano Brivio2021-08-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Sending 64 frames in a batch looks quite bad when a duplicate ACK comes right at the beginning of it. Lowering this to 32 doesn't affect performance noticeably, with 16 the impact is more apparent. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
