One approach to indirect call optimization

by Mat Martineau

I noticed this patch on netdev to avoid an indirect call to md5_lookup, which was accepted. It is mitigating the cost of an existing indirect call rather than adding a new one, but shows how the maintainers are looking at the problem. -- Mat Martineau Intel OTC ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 14:46:25 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet(a)google.com> To: David S .

[Weekly meetings] MoM - 31th of May 2018

by Matthieu Baerts

Hello, We just had our 12th meeting with Mat, Peter, Ossama (Intel OTC), Christoph (Apple) and myself (Tessares). Thanks again for this new good meeting! Here are the minutes of the meeting: Progress from last week: - Mat and Peter: had an issue with their v2 (how the DSS ACK is uploaded -- lockless issues). They hope sharing it before the next meeting. - Mat and Matth: worked a bit on the Netdev's paper - For the others: not so much to say, busy with other deadlines. Should be better soon. Netdev conf: - Matth: we should have the right content for the intro + abstract. Sentences will certainly need to be improved, can be done later. - put somewhere in the paper: we want to support the v1 in the upstream version, not the v0 - we still have plenty of time (but some people are off in June) Plumbers conf: - Submission deadline July 11: http://vger.kernel.org/lpc-networking.html (careful, different than https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/2/abstracts/ ) - Submission = Title, A list of submitter names, and a description of up to 350 words. - 1st draft of the Slides and papers are due by October 25th, 2018. Final drafts are due by November 4th, 2018. - We want to finish the submission for the end of June, let's focus on the Netdev stuff first (reminder added for the 21th of June. I can set it sooner/later: is it ok for you Mat? Maybe better the week before?) Next steps: - Netdev conf: slides + paper. Matth will try to look at it. - a v2 for Mat and Peter's patches - continue the work on the userspace PM Open-Source by Ossama - As usual, update the wiki if there are new stuffs to put in! Next meeting: - proposition: the 7th of June. Usual time 9am PDT - 16:00 UTC (9am PDT, 6pm CEST) - open to everyone! - https://annuel2.framapad.org/p/mptcp_upstreaming_20180607 Feel free to comment these points and propose new ones for the next meeting!

Fwd: 0x12: Nuts-n-bolts Talk!How hard can it be? Adding Multipath TCP to the upstream kernel

by Matthieu Baerts

Hello, Here is the official introduction for those who wants more info about our future talk at Netdev 0x12 in July. Best regards, Matthieu ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs(a)mojatatu.com> Date: Mon, May 28, 2018 at 5:13 PM Subject: 0x12: Nuts-n-bolts Talk!How hard can it be? Adding Multipath TCP to the upstream kernel To: people <people(a)netdevconf.org> Cc: <program-committee(a)netdevconf.org>, <matthieu.baerts(a)tessares.net>, < peter.krystad(a)intel.com>, <cpaasch(a)apple.com>, < mathew.j.martineau(a)linux.intel.com> New Nuts-n-bolts Talk paper accepted. Christoph Paasch, Mat Martineau, Peter Krystad and Matthieu Baerts have been working very hard on kernel Multipath TCP(RFC 6824) support. There have been difficulties in the past in upstreaming this implementation due to its invasive architecture; however, the authors feel that they have better understanding since the last time they showed up at netdev conf 0.1: The current MPTCP implementation has moved from it researchy origins and is already used by millions of devices in production environments. The protocol standardization is also now complete. For these reasons the authors feel that experience has gained them a lot of insight and they are ready to move forward with upstreaming. In this talk, the authors will do a gentle introduction of Multipath TCP and mention some uses cases already in production. They will discuss the challenges faced - both resolved and ongoing. More importantly they will be looking for feedback on how to best revamp the current implementation for upstreaming purposes. More info: https://www.netdevconf.org/0x12/session.html?how-hard-can-it-be-adding-mu... cheers, jamal Again reminder: 1) June 1st is the deadline for early bird (20% off) registration fees. 2) We do have bursaries for folks who need help getting to the conference.Closes on June 20th.

Comment: Is it guaranteed that RCU synchronization happens between here and when the tcp_sock is freed? Do you need to set SOCK_RCU_FREE? Architecture proposal v2 for the receiver part by Peter and Mat: - Peter found a bug, Mat is looking at that before sharing a v2. mptcp_net-next: - Peter confirms that creating subflows is still possible (related to a question raised by Christoph at the last meeting) Next steps: (almost same as after the last meeting) - We hope to get an answer for Netdevconf before the next meeting, nothing else we can do about that - Mat & Peter: looking at the v2 of their patches - Christoph: fixing some bugs in mptcp_trunk + check Mat's question (RCU related) - Ossama: looking at a userspace Open-Source code to use the Open-Source Netlink PM - Matthieu: propose a v2 for the PM Netlink, still should not change the API, useful info for Ossama. - As usual, update the wiki if there are new stuffs to put in! Next meeting: - proposition: the 24th of May.
