Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: BIG TCP implementation This series implements BIG TCP as presented in netdev 0x15: https://netdevconf.info/0x15/session.html?BIG-TCP Jonathan Corbet made a nice summary: https://lwn.net/Articles/884104/ Standard TSO/GRO packet limit is 64KB With BIG TCP, we allow bigger TSO/GRO packet sizes for IPv6 traffic. Note that this feature is by default not enabled, because it might break some eBPF programs assuming TCP header immediately follows IPv6 header. While tcpdump recognizes the HBH/Jumbo header, standard pcap filters are unable to skip over IPv6 extension headers. Reducing number of packets traversing networking stack usually improves performance, as shown on this experiment using a 100Gbit NIC, and 4K MTU. 'Standard' performance with current (74KB) limits. for i in {1..10}; do ./netperf -t TCP_RR -H iroa23 -- -r80000,80000 -O MIN_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,THROUGHPUT|tail -1; done 77 138 183 8542.19 79 143 178 8215.28 70 117 164 9543.39 80 144 176 8183.71 78 126 155 9108.47 80 146 184 8115.19 71 113 165 9510.96 74 113 164 9518.74 79 137 178 8575.04 73 111 171 9561.73 Now enable BIG TCP on both hosts. ip link set dev eth0 gro_max_size 185000 gso_max_size 185000 for i in {1..10}; do ./netperf -t TCP_RR -H iroa23 -- -r80000,80000 -O MIN_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,THROUGHPUT|tail -1; done 57 83 117 13871.38 64 118 155 11432.94 65 116 148 11507.62 60 105 136 12645.15 60 103 135 12760.34 60 102 134 12832.64 62 109 132 10877.68 58 82 115 14052.93 57 83 124 14212.58 57 82 119 14196.01 We see an increase of transactions per second, and lower latencies as well. v7: adopt unsafe_memcpy() in mlx5 to avoid FORTIFY warnings. v6: fix a compilation error for CONFIG_IPV6=n in "net: allow gso_max_size to exceed 65536", reported by kernel bots. v5: Replaced two patches (that were adding new attributes) with patches from Alexander Duyck. Idea is to reuse existing gso_max_size/gro_max_size v4: Rebased on top of Jakub series (Merge branch 'tso-gso-limit-split') max_tso_size is now family independent. v3: Fixed a typo in RFC number (Alexander) Added Reviewed-by: tags from Tariq on mlx4/mlx5 parts. v2: Removed the MAX_SKB_FRAGS change, this belongs to a different series. Addressed feedback, for Alexander and nvidia folks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
