[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v2 0/7] B.A.T.M.A.N. V - fallback to tp meter estimation if throughput otherwise not available

[Marek Lindner]

Under normal circumstances B.A.T.M.A.N. V retrieves the neighbor
throughput values to populate its metric tables from the various
drivers such as WiFi throughput tables and Ethernet throughput..
Whenever the interface drivers do not export link throughput 
information manual overrides become necessary. To further 
automate and thus better support these setups, ELP may call the
batman-adv throughput meter to schedule a throughput estimation
to be used to populate the metric table. 

v2:
 * added sysfs attribute to configure tp meter test duration
 * fixed null pointer dereference in TP meter packet sending routine
 * fixed storing the measured throughput in the correct variable
 * checkpatch/kerneldoc/sparse/smatch cleanup

Antonio Quartulli (3):
  batman-adv: tp_meter - prevent concurrent tp_meter sessions by using
    workqueue
  batman-adv: tp_meter - don't check for existing session
  batman-adv: tp_meter - add option to perform one-hop test

Marek Lindner (4):
  batman-adv: tp_meter - allow up to 10 queued sessions
  batman-adv: tp_meter - add caller distinction
  batman-adv: ELP - use tp meter to estimate the throughput if otherwise
    not available
  batman-adv: ELP - add throughput meter test duration attribute

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v2 1/7] batman-adv: tp_meter - prevent concurrent tp_meter sessions by using workqueue

[Marek Lindner]

From: Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc>

To ensure that no more than one tp_meter session runs at the
same time, use an ordered workqueue instead of spawning
one kthread per session.

You completely ignore here that queue_work can fail. And then you have an item 
with a reference counter > 0 in memory and no one cares  about it.

Just from the context of this function, it isn't clear what happened with the 
reference.

Kind regards,

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v2 2/7] batman-adv: tp_meter - don't check for existing session

[Marek Lindner]

From: Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc>

Since the conversion from kthread to queue worker it is not possible
to run more than one "sender" session at a time.
For this reason, checking if another session to the same destination
is already scheduled is not useful anymore.

Remove such check and allow the user to enqueue a new session to
a previously targeted node.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v2 5/7] batman-adv: tp_meter - add option to perform one-hop test

[Marek Lindner]

From: Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc>

A link test is a TP session ran over a specific one-hop link,
rather than towards an originator in the mesh.

I find the throughput calculation quite hard to read here, would
it be possible to put this into an extra (inline?) function?

Also the comment for the "convert result..." seems wrong,
"[bits/ms]*1024*10/1000" would be 0.01Mb/s, not 0.1Mb/s?

What is the advantage of using the ilog2 and shift operator here
compared to plain multiplications and divisions?

Also, when trying this in a small C program I get weird results:

-----
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
        unsigned long test_time = 10000;        // 10s
        unsigned long total_bytes = 20000000;   // 16MBit/s
        unsigned long throughput, throughput2;
        unsigned long log_test_time = log(test_time) / log(2);

        throughput = total_bytes * 8 >> log_test_time / 10;

	// Straightforward approach?
        throughput2 = total_bytes * 8 / test_time * 1000 / 1024 / 100;

        printf("Result: %lu (log_test_time: %lu)\n", throughput, log_test_time);
        printf("Result2: %lu\n", throughput2);

        return 0;
}

They most likely ran into the problem that they must do a 64 bit division 
(which cannot be done on 32 bit machines in the kernel directly with C's 
native "x / y" statement ). But in this case, it is most likely a lot better 
to use do_div (or similar function) to avoid a lot of rounding problems which 
this shift approach has.

Kind regards,

Thanks for this small example program. Yes, there are parenthesis missing in 
the calculation. Right now, following is calculated:

    (total_bytes * 8) >> (ilog2(test_time) / 10);

But the author most likely wanted following precedence:

    ((total_bytes * 8) >> ilog2(test_time)) / 10;

And together with the fixed unit, you would get:

    (total_bytes * 8 >> ilog2(test_time) / 100;

Your example program would then show following result because the shifting 
stuff is still the wrong approach:

    Result: 195 (log_test_time: 13)
    Result2: 156

The calculation still has to be changed to something like this to get 

    // when 0.1 Mbit/s == 100 kbit/s
    throughput = total_bytes * 5;
	 do_div(throughput, test_time * 64);

    // when 0.1 Mbit/s == 102.4 kbit/s
    throughput = total_bytes * 625;
	 do_div(throughput, test_time * 8192);

    // when 0.1 Mbit/s == 100 kbit/s, and 1kbit/s == 1000 bit (instead of 1024 bit):
    throughput = total_bytes;
    do_div(throughput, test_time * 125);

Please keep in mind that we must do a check of the divisor (for 0) before 
doing this do_div.

Kind regards,
	Sven

Thanks for the code and the correction :-)

Yes, we wanted to avoid 64 bits explicit divisions and we assumed
test_time would have been a power of 2 (otherwise we'd accept a small
error).

Anyway, the last case brought by Sven depicts what we want to implement.
The patch will be changed accordingly.

So far we were either using time_before(), time_after_eq() or our
own wrapper batadv_has_timed_out(). Would it make sense to use
some of these here, too?

This seems racy here? We have no ordering constraints between
the assigment and batadv_tp_start() which might lead to...

- batadv_tp_start() is only invoked by batadv_v_elp_get_throughput();
- batadv_v_elp_get_throughput() is only invoked by
batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update();
- batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update() is a periodic function
executed by a timer and we can't have concurrent executions (unless we
use crazy interval values).

Maybe we should add a comment to make this more clear?

I'm currently wondering: Would it make sense to prevent parallel
tp meter execution not only to a specific neighbor but parallel
executions on a hard-interface in general?

This flag prevents scheduling new measurements to this neighbour if one
has already been scheduled and has not returned any result yet.

What you are looking for is implemented in patch 1/7: a system-wide
queue prevents concurrent measurements at all. All the measurements are
serialized and performed one after the other.

This seems to create weird (as in incorrect) looking results. Here the ones 
from Matthias Fritzsche:

[2018-05-21 18:19:41] <txt-file> ordexm, marec, ecsv_: Now I have one router and the its neighbour with batman_V with tp-meter. https://paste.debian.net/1025691/
[2018-05-21 18:24:28] <txt-file> ah … now "batctl n" shows a tp of 16064.1
[2018-05-21 18:29:07] <ecsv_> uhm, isn't this rather... high
[2018-05-21 18:29:53] <txt-file> ecsv_: I think so. This node has an upload of 4 MBit/s
[2018-05-21 18:30:34] <txt-file> now (6 minutes later) tq=2.2
[2018-05-21 18:30:48] <txt-file> which sounds much more realistic.

The setup is using an gluon based router (TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1) [1] which 
uses a vpn connection (fastd) to a server 
(descartes.routers.chemnitz.freifunk.net) in the internet. The automatic 
throughput test runs between these two devices.

Kind regards,

Would it make sense to note the adjusted default tp test duration
in the commit message, too? It is adjusted from 10ms to 1000ms
here, right?


I'm also wondering if it would make sense to make the test
interval adjustable instead of the duration:

With 1000ms on a 16MBit/s DSL line this would generate 864GB of
traffic per month and would be an issue for several existing
setups right now.

Is there some minimum test duration at which the tp meter is
supposed to not work realiably anymore, where an increased check
period would be more suitable?

Regards, Linus

Sorry, 86GB per month:

16 [MBit/s] / 8 [bits->bytes] * 60 [minutes] * 24 [hours] * 30
[days] / 1000 [MB->GB] = 86GB

I am having a hard time following your thoughts here. The default duration is 
part of the commit message. The user space tp meter test is not affected by 
this change. The tp meter ELP duration of 10ms default was introduced in the 
previous patch only. 
Anyway, will change the previous patch to use 1000ms.

Assuming you are talking about the batman-adv-over-VPN-over-internet use-case:
Simply set the interface throughput to 16MBit/s to disable the ELP throughput 
meter measuring altogether (see throughput_override).

ELP throughput measuring is not built to improve that use-case.

The ELP throughput meter test is designed to handle interface / neighbors with 
fluctuating link throughput. For those setups, having up-to-date link 
throughput information is what makes this worthwhile.

Static DSL uplinks don't fall into that category. Every regular throughput 
check (no matter how rare) is worse than no test at all. To handle those case, 
batman-adv already provides a knob.

Cheers,
Marek

After re-reading Jiri's points I can't really understand why we should
now switch to netlink. I think all our sysfs knobs are used to inject
settings *to* userspace, therefore his point 1) does not really apply to
us. Point 2) is a bit generic and does not really explain why we should
*switch*.

This said, I'd rather keep this patch as it is and possibly discuss the
matter when sending this code to netdev for merging.

I've discussed this with Marek too and he is fine with this approach.

Wouldn't it have been better when Jiri would also see your reply? Now he isn't 
even aware of your criticism.

Interesting, I don't see it this way. This patch [0] is for netdev and we have 
the statement that "usage of sysfs in netdev subsystem is frowned upon". Now 
you want that we ignore that and than maybe Simon have to deal with the 
fallout when he forwards it to David?

Kind regards,
	Sven

Nope, I'd rather step in myself, should David or anybody else complain
about the patch once sent to netdev. But I totally understand your point.

Personally I did not see Jiri's statements as representative of netdev
as a whole, but it looked like his personal opinion to me (I might be
wrong).

I will reply to [1] directly so we can take the discussion from there then.
