I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
performance difference on kernbench. Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.
The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was
constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented
only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible
to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
with a very fragmented slab -
llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
587730 0 758844
At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following
patch I fixes this problem.
This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for
nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.
Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.

The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the
potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which
we ought to do.
However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the
checksums without using this post_input stuff at all. The crucial
point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered
when adjusting checksums. What's more, the checksum adjustment
comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums.
We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :)
When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum
is currently unused. All we have to do is to make that the checksum
adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures!
I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately
woven into the sec_path stuff. We can kill them later too.

When you turn off ARP on a netdevice then the first packet always goes
out with a dstMAC of all zeroes. This is because the first packet is
used to resolve ARP entries. Even though the ARP entry may be resolved
(I tried by setting a static ARP entry for a host i was pinging from),
it gets overwritten by virtue of having the netdevice disabling ARP.
Subsequent packets go out fine with correct dstMAC address (which may
be why people have ignored reporting this issue).
To cut the story short:
the culprit code is in net/ethernet/eth.c::eth_header()
----
/*
* Anyway, the loopback-device should never use this
function...
*/
if (dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK|IFF_NOARP))
{
memset(eth->h_dest, 0, dev->addr_len);
return ETH_HLEN;
}
if(daddr)
{
memcpy(eth->h_dest,daddr,dev->addr_len);
return ETH_HLEN;
}
----
Note how the h_dest is being reset when device has IFF_NOARP.
As a note:
All devices including loopback pass a daddr. loopback in fact passes
a 0 all the time ;->
This means i can delete the check totaly or i can remove the IFF_NOARP
Alexey says:
--------------------
I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember
why it was made.
I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve
addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of
blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour
level.
After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change
behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet
socket.
I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr).
And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later.

When redirecting an outgoing packet to loopback, it keeps the original
conntrack reference and information from the outgoing path, which
falsely triggers the check for DNAT on input and the dst_entry is
released to trigger rerouting. ip_route_input refuses to route the
packet because it has a local source address and it is dropped.

When a packet matching an IPsec policy is SNATed so it doesn't match any
policy anymore it looses its xfrm bundle, which makes xfrm4_output_finish
crash because of a NULL pointer dereference.
This patch directs these packets to the original output path instead. Since
the packets have already passed the POST_ROUTING hook, but need to start at
the beginning of the original output path which includes another
POST_ROUTING invocation, a flag is added to the IPCB to indicate that the
packet was rerouted and doesn't need to pass the POST_ROUTING hook again.

To find out if a packet needs to be handled by IPsec after SNAT, packets
are currently rerouted in POST_ROUTING and a new xfrm lookup is done. This
breaks SNAT of non-unicast packets to non-local addresses because the
packet is routed as incoming packet and no neighbour entry is bound to the
dst_entry. In general, it seems to be a bad idea to replace the dst_entry
after the packet was already sent to the output routine because its state
might not match what's expected.
This patch changes the xfrm lookup in POST_ROUTING to re-use the original
dst_entry without routing the packet again. This means no policy routing
can be used for transport mode transforms (which keep the original route)
when packets are SNATed to match the policy, but it looks like the best
we can do for now.

Problem discovered and initial patch by Olaf Kirch:
there's a problem with IPsec that has been bugging some of our users
for the last couple of kernel revs. Every now and then, IPsec will
freeze the machine completely. This is with openswan user land,
and with kernels up to and including 2.6.16-rc2.
I managed to debug this a little, and what happens is that we end
up looping in xfrm_lookup, and never get out. With a bit of debug
printks added, I can this happening:
ip_route_output_flow calls xfrm_lookup
xfrm_find_bundle returns NULL (apparently we're in the
middle of negotiating a new SA or something)
We therefore call xfrm_tmpl_resolve. This returns EAGAIN
We go to sleep, waiting for a policy update.
Then we loop back to the top
Apparently, the dst_orig that was passed into xfrm_lookup
has been dropped from the routing table (obsolete=2)
This leads to the endless loop, because we now create
a new bundle, check the new bundle and find it's stale
(stale_bundle -> xfrm_bundle_ok -> dst_check() return 0)
People have been testing with the patch below, which seems to fix the
problem partially. They still see connection hangs however (things
only clear up when they start a new ping or new ssh). So the patch
is obvsiouly not sufficient, and something else seems to go wrong.
I'm grateful for any hints you may have...
I suggest that we simply bail out always. If the dst decides to die
on us later on, the packet will be dropped anyway. So there is no
great urgency to retry here. Once we have the proper resolution
queueing, we can then do the retry again.
