ext4: fix performance regression in writeback of random writes

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242812

The Linux Kernel Performance project guys have reported that commit
4e7ea81db5 introduces a performance regression for the following fio
workload:

[global]
direct=0
ioengine=mmap
size=1500M
bs=4k
pre_read=1
numjobs=1
overwrite=1
loops=5
runtime=300
group_reporting
invalidate=0
directory=/mnt/
file_service_type=random:36
file_service_type=random:36

[job0]
startdelay=0
rw=randrw
filename=data0/f1:data0/f2

[job1]
startdelay=0
rw=randrw
filename=data0/f2:data0/f1
...

[job7]
startdelay=0
rw=randrw
filename=data0/f2:data0/f1

The culprit of the problem is that after the commit ext4_writepages()
are more aggressive in writing back pages. Thus we have less consecutive
dirty pages resulting in more seeking.

This increased aggressivity is caused by a bug in the condition
terminating ext4_writepages(). We start writing from the beginning of
the file even if we should have terminated ext4_writepages() because
wbc->nr_to_write <= 0.

After fixing the condition the throughput of the fio workload is about 20%
better than before writeback reorganization.

UBUNTU: SAUCE: ext4: fix performance regression in ext4_writepages

upstreamed

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242812

Commit 4e7ea81db5(ext4: restructure writeback path) introduces another
performance regression on random write:

- one more page may be added to ext4 extent in
  mpage_prepare_extent_to_map, and will be submitted for I/O so
  nr_to_write will become -1 before 'done' is set

- the worse thing is that dirty pages may still be retrieved from page
  cache after nr_to_write becomes negative, so lots of small chunks
  can be submitted to block device when page writeback is catching up
  with write path, and performance is hurted.

On one arm A15 board with sata 3.0 SSD(CPU: 1.5GHz dura core, RAM:
2GB, SATA controller: 3.0Gbps), this patch can improve below test's
result from 157MB/sec to 174MB/sec(>10%):

	dd if=/dev/zero of=./z.img bs=8K count=512K

The above test is actually prototype of block write in bonnie++
utility.

This patch makes sure no more pages than nr_to_write can be added to
extent for mapping, so that nr_to_write won't become negative.

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commits 6d36824e730f247b602c90e8715a792003e3c5a7,
  02cf4ebd82ff0ac7254b88e466820a290ed8289a, and parts of
  7eec4174ff29cd42f2acfae8112f51c228545d40 ]

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs

tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit c9eeec26e32e087359160406f96e0949b3cc6f10 ]

When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of
packets queues on Qdisc/device queues for a given TCP flow.

Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small
for high rates.

Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO
auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device
queues.

New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets.

Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller
number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery,
better RTT estimations.

High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets
in flight as we had reports this was a limiting factor to reach line
rate. [ In particular if TX completion is delayed because of coalescing
parameters ]

Example for a single flow on 10Gbp link controlled by FQ/pacing

14 packets in flight instead of 2

$ tc -s -d qd
qdisc fq 8001: dev eth0 root refcnt 32 limit 10000p flow_limit 100p
buckets 1024 quantum 3028 initial_quantum 15140

  2372 gc, 0 highprio, 0 retrans, 9739249 throttled, 0 flows_plimit

Note that sk_pacing_rate is currently set to twice the actual rate, but
this might be refined in the future when a flow is in congestion
avoidance.

Additional change : skb->destructor should be set to tcp_wfree().

A future patch (for linux 3.13+) might remove tcp_limit_output_bytes

tcp: must unclone packets before mangling them

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit c52e2421f7368fd36cbe330d2cf41b10452e39a9 ]

TCP stack should make sure it owns skbs before mangling them.

We had various crashes using bnx2x, and it turned out gso_size
was cleared right before bnx2x driver was populating TC descriptor
of the _previous_ packet send. TCP stack can sometime retransmit
packets that are still in Qdisc.

Of course we could make bnx2x driver more robust (using
ACCESS_ONCE(shinfo->gso_size) for example), but the bug is TCP stack.

We have identified two points where skb_unclone() was needed.

This patch adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to warn us if we missed another
fix of this kind.

Kudos to Neal for finding the root cause of this bug. Its visible
using small MSS.

tcp: do not forget FIN in tcp_shifted_skb()

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit 5e8a402f831dbe7ee831340a91439e46f0d38acd ]

Yuchung found following problem :

 There are bugs in the SACK processing code, merging part in
 tcp_shift_skb_data(), that incorrectly resets or ignores the sacked
 skbs FIN flag. When a receiver first SACK the FIN sequence, and later
 throw away ofo queue (e.g., sack-reneging), the sender will stop
 retransmitting the FIN flag, and hangs forever.

Following packetdrill test can be used to reproduce the bug.

$ cat sack-merge-bug.pkt
`sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_fack=0`

// Establish a connection and send 10 MSS.
0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
+.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
+.000 listen(3, 1) = 0

+.050 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7>
+.000 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 6>
+.001 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 1024
+.000 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4

+.100 write(4, ..., 12000) = 12000
+.000 shutdown(4, SHUT_WR) = 0
+.000 > . 1:10001(10000) ack 1
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257
+.000 > FP. 10001:12001(2000) ack 1
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:11001,nop,nop>
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:12002,nop,nop>
// SACK reneg
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 12001 win 257
+0 %{ print "unacked: ",tcpi_unacked }%
+5 %{ print "" }%

First, a typo inverted left/right of one OR operation, then
code forgot to advance end_seq if the merged skb carried FIN.

tcp: fix incorrect ca_state in tail loss probe

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit 031afe4990a7c9dbff41a3a742c44d3e740ea0a1 ]

On receiving an ACK that covers the loss probe sequence, TLP
immediately sets the congestion state to Open, even though some packets
are not recovered and retransmisssion are on the way.  The later ACks
may trigger a WARN_ON check in step D of tcp_fastretrans_alert(), e.g.,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989251

The fix is to follow the similar procedure in recovery by calling
tcp_try_keep_open(). The sender switches to Open state if no packets
are retransmissted. Otherwise it goes to Disorder and let subsequent
ACKs move the state to Recovery or Open.

batman-adv: set up network coding packet handlers during module init

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit 6c519bad7b19a2c14a075b400edabaa630330123 ]

batman-adv saves its table of packet handlers as a global state, so handlers
must be set up only once (and setting them up a second time will fail).

The recently-added network coding support tries to set up its handler each time
a new softif is registered, which obviously fails when more that one softif is
used (and in consequence, the softif creation fails).

Fix this by splitting up batadv_nc_init into batadv_nc_init (which is called
only once) and batadv_nc_mesh_init (which is called for each softif); in
addition batadv_nc_free is renamed to batadv_nc_mesh_free to keep naming
consistent.

by calling mib_counters_update. As mib_counters_update is also called
from non-timer context, we should not reschedule the timer there but
rather move it to timer-only context.

net: mv643xx_eth: fix orphaned statistics timer crash

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit f564412c935111c583b787bcc18157377b208e2e ]

The periodic statistics timer gets started at port _probe() time, but
is stopped on _stop() only. In a modular environment, this can cause
the timer to access already deallocated memory, if the module is unloaded
without starting the eth device. To fix this, we add the timer right
before the port is started, instead of at _probe() time.

net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr()

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit 1661bf364ae9c506bc8795fef70d1532931be1e8 ]

We need to cap ->msg_namelen or it leads to a buffer overflow when we
to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr().  It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to
exploit this bug.

The call tree is:
___sys_recvmsg()
  move_addr_to_user()
    audit_sockaddr()
      __audit_sockaddr()

Amend backport to 3.11.y of

 [ Upstream commit 205983c43700ac3a81e7625273a3fa83cd2759b5 ]

The discussion thread in the upstream commit mentions that in
backports to stable-* branches, the line

  - unregister_netdevice_queue(sitn->fb_tunnel_dev, &list);

must be omitted if that branch does not have commit 5e6700b3bf98
("sit: add support of x-netns"). This line has correctly been omitted
in the backport to 3.10, which indeed does not have that commit.

It was also removed in the backport to 3.11.y, which does have that
commit.

This causes the following steps to hit a BUG at net/core/dev.c:5039:

  `modprobe sit; rmmod sit`

The bug demonstrates that it causes a device to be unregistered twice.
The simple fix is to apply the one line in the upstream commit that
was dropped in the backport to 3.11 (3783100374653e2e7fbdf68c710f5).
This brings the logic in line with upstream linux, net and net-next
branches.

proc connector: fix info leaks

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249081

[ Upstream commit e727ca82e0e9616ab4844301e6bae60ca7327682 ]

Initialize event_data for all possible message types to prevent leaking
kernel stack contents to userland (up to 20 bytes). Also set the flags
member of the connector message to 0 to prevent leaking two more stack
bytes this way.
