[PATCH v2 0/2] sctp: delay calls to sk_data_ready() as much as possible

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

1st patch is a preparation for the 2nd. The idea is to not call
->sk_data_ready() for every data chunk processed while processing
packets but only once before releasing the socket.

v2: patchset re-checked, small changelog fixes

[PATCH v2 1/2] sctp: compress bit-wide flags to a bitfield on sctp_sock

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

It wastes space and gets worse as we add new flags, so convert bit-wide
flags to a bitfield.

Currently it already saves 4 bytes in sctp_sock, which are left as holes
in it for now. The whole struct needs packing, which should be done in
another patch.

Note that do_auto_asconf cannot be merged, as explained in the comment
before it.

[PATCH v2 2/2] sctp: delay calls to sk_data_ready() as much as possible

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

Currently, the processing of multiple chunks in a single SCTP packet
leads to multiple calls to sk_data_ready, causing multiple wake up
signals which are costly and doesn't make it wake up any faster.

With this patch it will notice that the wake up is pending and will do it
before leaving the state machine interpreter, latest place possible to
do it realiably and cleanly.

Note that sk_data_ready events are not dependent on asocs, unlike waking
up writers.

Might as well make this __u32 as the next field would be
aligned on an atomic_t

It might be better if these fields didn't use the __ prefix.

Indeed, this isn't in a UAPI file so __ prefixed types really aren't
appropriate.

On changelog I meant that this (re-)ordering will happen in another
patch. The hole is already there today and there are others to be
considered/fixed too. Please consider this patch as a preparation for
the other one.

After this patch, pahole gives for this struct:

        /* size: 1272, cachelines: 20, members: 40 */
        /* sum members: 1250, holes: 7, sum holes: 18 */
        /* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 9 bits */
        /* padding: 4 */
        /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 2 */
        /* last cacheline: 56 bytes */

Quite some work todo :-)

The whole file is using __ prefixed types. I can remove them in another
patch instead if that's okay with you.
It's also present in other files not under UAPI:
$ git grep -wl '\(__u32\|__u16\)' include/net/sctp/
include/net/sctp/auth.h
include/net/sctp/checksum.h
include/net/sctp/command.h
include/net/sctp/constants.h
include/net/sctp/sctp.h
include/net/sctp/sm.h
include/net/sctp/structs.h
include/net/sctp/tsnmap.h
include/net/sctp/ulpevent.h
include/net/sctp/ulpqueue.h

We can start changing it progressively but I think it would be better if
we replace them all at once.

the other one.

After this patch, pahole gives for this struct:

        /* size: 1272, cachelines: 20, members: 40 */
        /* sum members: 1250, holes: 7, sum holes: 18 */
        /* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 9 bits */
        /* padding: 4 */
        /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 2 */
        /* last cacheline: 56 bytes */

Quite some work todo :-)

The whole file is using __ prefixed types. I can remove them in another
patch instead if that's okay with you.
It's also present in other files not under UAPI:
$ git grep -wl '\(__u32\|__u16\)' include/net/sctp/
include/net/sctp/auth.h
include/net/sctp/checksum.h
include/net/sctp/command.h
include/net/sctp/constants.h
include/net/sctp/sctp.h
include/net/sctp/sm.h
include/net/sctp/structs.h
include/net/sctp/tsnmap.h
include/net/sctp/ulpevent.h
include/net/sctp/ulpqueue.h

We can start changing it progressively but I think it would be better if
we replace them all at once.

Would it make sense to introduce a local variable for ep->base.sk (and
make this function 535+1 lines long ;-)

      struct sock *sk = ep->base.sk;

... like sctp_ulpq_tail_event() does?

Thanks,

I guess so, yes. Same for sctp_sk() cast then. I´ll post a new version
later, thanks.
