cover RCU'ify the net:sched classifier chains

There appears to be some interest in a few topics around the qdisc layer which could benefit from having the ability to run the filters and actions without holding the qdisc lock.

Recently Cong Wang proposed a patch series to drop the ingress qdisc and asked for comments. This series I think gets closer to that goal.

The ingress qdisc is a simple qdisc which doesn't maintain any actual list of skb's and is primarily a hook to attach filters. Further the only qdisc that can be attached to the ingress qdisc is sch_ingress. The qdisc lock is currently serializing two operations (1) tc_classify which is addressed here and (2) statistics accounting. The second point is not solved here but it could be a matter of making the bstats and qstats per cpu stats.

This is an RFC for now and needs some more work. Some items I know about are (a) an audit of the ematch code paths, (b) resolving the checpatch errors mostly due to moving code around that generates those errors, (c) run smatch, (d) audit u32 code for correctness, (e) do a lot more testing so far only very basic testing has been done. I tried to put some reasonable comments in the commit logs but yes they need more work.

Cong, if its not too much to ask can we use this as a base set of patches for this work? I think its reasonably close to correct as is.

Thanks! John.

RFC PATCH 1/12 net: qdisc: use rcu prefix and silence sparse warnings

Add __rcu notation to qdisc handling by doing this we can make smatch output more legible. And anyways some of the cases should be using rcu_dereference() see qdisc_all_tx_empty(), qdisc_tx_chainging(), and so on.

RFC PATCH 2/12 net: rcu-ify tcf_proto

In reply to John Fastabend

rcu'ify tcf_proto this allows calling tc_classify() without holding any locks. Updaters are protected by RTNL.

This patch prepares the core net_sched infrastracture for running the classifier/action chains without holding the qdisc lock however it does nothing to ensure cls_xxx and act_xxx types also work without locking. Additional patches are required to address the fall out.

RFC PATCH 3/12 net: sched: cls_basic use RCU

In reply to John Fastabend

Enable basic classifier for RCU.

Dereferencing tp->root may look a bit strange here but it is needed by my accounting because it is allocated at init time and needs to be kfree'd at destroy time. However because it may be referenced in the classify() path we must wait an RCU grace period before free'ing it. We use kfree_rcu() and rcu_ APIs to enforce this. This pattern is used in all the classifiers.

Also the hgenerator can be incremented without concern because it is always incremented under RTNL.

RFC PATCH 4/12 net: sched: cls_cgroup use RCU

In reply to John Fastabend

Make cgroup classifier safe for RCU.

Also drops the calls in the classify routine that were doing a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(). If the rcu_read_lock() isn't held entering this routine we have issues with deleting the classifier chain so remove the unnecessary rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair noting all paths AFAIK hold rcu_read_lock.

If there is a case where classify is called without the rcu read lock then an rcu splat will occur and we can correct it.

RFC PATCH 7/12 net: sched: RCU cls_route

In reply to John Fastabend

RCUify the route classifier. For now however spinlock's are used to protect fastmap cache.

The issue here is the fastmap may be read by one CPU while the cache is being updated by another. An array of pointers could be one possible solution.

RFC PATCH 8/12 net: sched: RCU cls_tcindex

In reply to John Fastabend

Make cls_tcindex RCU safe.

This patch addds a new RCU routine rcu_dereference_bh_rtnl() to check caller either holds the rcu read lock or RTNL. This is needed to handle the case where tcindex_lookup() is being called in both cases.

RFC PATCH 9/12 net: sched: make cls_u32 lockless

In reply to John Fastabend

Make cls_u32 classifier safe to run without holding lock. This patch converts statistics that are kept in read section u32_classify into per cpu counters.

This patch needs careful review to be sure the internal data structures are being handled. With regards to testing simply creating a u32 filter is not enough the actual structure need to be created and destroyed under stress for a valid test case.

RFC PATCH 11/12 net: make cls_bpf rcu safe

In reply to John Fastabend

This patch makes the cls_bpf classifier RCU safe. The tcf_lock was being used to protect a list of cls_bpf_prog now this list is RCU safe and updates occur with rcu_replace.

RFC PATCH 12/12 net: sched: make tc_action safe to walk under RCU

In reply to John Fastabend

This patch makes tc_actions safe to walk from classifiers under RCU. Notice that each action act() callback defined in each act_*.c already does its own locking. This is needed even in the current infrastructure for the case where users add/remove actions via 'tc actions' and reference them via index from the classifiers.

There are a couple interesting pieces here (i.e. need careful review) In tcf_exts_exec() the call to tcf_action_exec follows a list_empty check. However although this is occurring under RCU there is no guarantee that the list is not empty when tcf_action_exec is called. This patch fixes up return values from tcf_action_exec() so that packets wont be dropped on the floor when this occurs. Hopefully its rare and by using RCU we sort of make this assumption.

Second there is a suspect usage of list_splice_init_rcu() in the tcf_exts_change() routine. Notice how it is used twice in succession and the second init works on the src tcf_exts. There is probably a better way to accomplish that.

Quoted 8 lines · John Fastabend

There appears to be some interest in a few topics around the qdisc layer which could benefit from having the ability to run the filters and actions without holding the qdisc lock.

Recently Cong Wang proposed a patch series to drop the ingress qdisc and asked for comments. This series I think gets closer to that goal.

Quoted 8 lines

The ingress qdisc is a simple qdisc which doesn't maintain any actual list of skb's and is primarily a hook to attach filters. Further the only qdisc that can be attached to the ingress qdisc is sch_ingress. The qdisc lock is currently serializing two operations (1) tc_classify which is addressed here and (2) statistics accounting. The second point is not solved here but it could be a matter of making the bstats and qstats per cpu stats.

Yeah, actually I tried to make bstats percpu, but I still doubt if it is necessary, since increasing a 32bit counter doesn't sound dangerous on SMP?

This is an RFC for now and needs some more work. Some items I know about are (a) an audit of the ematch code paths, (b) resolving the checpatch errors mostly due to moving code around that generates those errors, (c) run smatch, (d) audit u32 code for correctness, (e) do a lot more testing so far only very basic testing has been done. I tried to put some reasonable comments in the commit logs but yes they need more work.

Cong, if its not too much to ask can we use this as a base set of patches for this work? I think its reasonably close to correct as is.

Sure, just that:

1) I myself don't like playing RCU list without using list_head API it is still hard for me to read.

2) The first patch in your series seems completely irrelevant to $subject. :)

Thanks.

There appears to be some interest in a few topics around the qdisc layer which could benefit from having the ability to run the filters and actions without holding the qdisc lock.

Recently Cong Wang proposed a patch series to drop the ingress qdisc and asked for comments. This series I think gets closer to that goal.

The ingress qdisc is a simple qdisc which doesn't maintain any actual list of skb's and is primarily a hook to attach filters. Further the only qdisc that can be attached to the ingress qdisc is sch_ingress. The qdisc lock is currently serializing two operations (1) tc_classify which is addressed here and (2) statistics accounting. The second point is not solved here but it could be a matter of making the bstats and qstats per cpu stats.

Well what happens when multiple cpus are incrementing the counter? You can't assume all archs have a fetch and add instruction (addl on x86) and I fairly certain there is no guarantee the compiler even on x86 will do it that way. Minimally we need to use the atomic operations but then its a cache thrashing problem. And because worse case every CPU is going to be touching those bstats you really need to make them per cpu. Look around the kernel at other counters its a common pattern.

Similarly the qstats need to be per cpu, I might have a patch around here for that piece somewhere. I'll look later.

Send me your patch so I can integrate it with the rest.

I think its a reasonably common practice, and if we don't need the prev pointer we can save a pointer.

2) The first patch in your series seems completely irrelevant to $subject. :)

If the intent is to drop the qdisc lock around the ingress qdisc and use the RCU api's I want to be sure to annotate it so we can use the analysis tools to catch any errors. Smatch and others really are pretty good at catching dumb mistakes or missed call sites.

Hi, John

Do you have any plan to update this patchset and resend them?

Thanks.

OK, I updated the patch set and sent it out. Still need to get the latest perf numbers for an official submission. any testing and/or review you can do would be great. Hoping to wrap this up and get it out soon.

Thanks,
John

I think as you observed in your other email:
There is a little more than just the stats (on qdiscs as well); internal to specific filters etc.

(e) do a lot more testing so far only very
basic testing has been done. I tried to put some reasonable comments in the commit logs but yes they need more work.

Things like MSI based devices, massive single tun device tests, ifb with redirect etc would help cleanse things up.

I believe these are based on your original patches John, no? So I would agree we use these as a base.

I will scan through the patches...

This is fun stuff - I will try to participate whenever i can (unfortunately not much time at the moment).

I will scan through the patches...

I looked and here's a general question:
Does even using RCU make any sense here? What we have
is a lot of updates and very very little reads (reads essentially are done from the control side; the data path is is all about updates).

I am not sure if RCU is a win in such a case - it could make things worse. At least that used to be the Truth(tm) many moons back. Is that not the case anymore?

cheers,
jamal

Never mind.
You are not trying to make stats rcu - rather the list of filters and actions (which is read mostly from data path). Looking at the u32 piece - i think this is in the right direction. Good stuff John!
