We can solve this by dynamically allocating one or both of them.

The network stack no longer uses the last_rx member of struct net_device
since the bonding driver switched to use its own private last_rx in
commit 9f24273837 ("bonding: use last_arp_rx in slave_last_rx()").
However, some drivers still (ab)use the field for their own purposes and
some driver just update it without actually using it.
Previously, there was an accompanying comment for the last_rx member
added in commit 4dc89133f4 ("net: add a comment on netdev->last_rx")
which asked drivers not to update is, unless really needed. However,
this commend was removed in commit f8ff080dac ("bonding: remove
useless updating of slave->dev->last_rx"), so some drivers added later

Remove all usage of last_rx and switch three drivers (sky2, atp and

copy in netdev_priv.

vhost_net tx batching
This series tries to implement tx batching support for vhost. This was
done by using MSG_MORE as a hint for under layer socket. The backend
(e.g tap) can then batch the packets temporarily in a list and
submit it all once the number of bacthed exceeds a limitation.
Tests shows obvious improvement on guest pktgen over over
mlx4(noqueue) on host:
Mpps -+%
rx-frames = 0 0.91 +0%
rx-frames = 4 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 8 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 16 1.01 +10.9%
rx-frames = 32 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 48 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 64 1.08 +18.6%
rx-frames = 64 (no MSG_MORE) 0.91 +0%
Changes from V4:
- stick to NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT for rx-frames is user specify a value
greater than it.
Changes from V3:
- use ethtool instead of module parameter to control the maximum
number of batched packets
- avoid overhead when MSG_MORE were not set and no packet queued
Changes from V2:
- remove uselss queue limitation check (and we don't drop any packet now)
Changes from V1:
- drop NAPI handler since we don't use NAPI now
- fix the issues that may exceeds max pending of zerocopy
- more improvement on available buffer detection

We can only process 1 packet at one time during sendmsg(). This often
lead bad cache utilization under heavy load. So this patch tries to do
some batching during rx before submitting them to host network
stack. This is done through accepting MSG_MORE as a hint from
sendmsg() caller, if it was set, batch the packet temporarily in a
linked list and submit them all once MSG_MORE were cleared.
Tests were done by pktgen (burst=128) in guest over mlx4(noqueue) on host:
Mpps -+%
rx-frames = 0 0.91 +0%
rx-frames = 4 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 8 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 16 1.01 +10.9%
rx-frames = 32 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 48 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 64 1.08 +18.6%
rx-frames = 64 (no MSG_MORE) 0.91 +0%
User were allowed to change per device batched packets through
ethtool -C rx-frames. NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT were used as upper limitation

Rework inet_csk_get_port
V3->V4:
-Removed the random include of addrconf.h that is no longer needed.
V2->V3:
-Dropped the fastsock from the tb and instead just carry the saddrs, family, and
ipv6 only flag.
-Reworked the helper functions to deal with this change so I could still use

-Killed tb->num_owners as per Eric's request.
-Attached a reproducer to the bottom of this email.
V1->V2:
-Added a new patch 'inet: collapse ipv4/v6 rcv_saddr_equal functions into one'
at Hannes' suggestion.
-Dropped ->bind_conflict and just use the new helper.
-Fixed a compile bug from the original ->bind_conflict patch.
The original description of the series follows:
At some point recently the guys working on our load balancer added the ability
to use SO_REUSEPORT. When they restarted their app with this option enabled
they immediately hit a softlockup on what appeared to be the
inet_bind_bucket->lock. Eventually what all of our debugging and discussion led
us to was the fact that the application comes up without SO_REUSEPORT, shuts
down which creates around 100k twsk's, and then comes up and tries to open a
bunch of sockets using SO_REUSEPORT, which meant traversing the inet_bind_bucket
owners list under the lock. Since this lock is needed for dealing with the
twsk's and basically anything else related to connections we would softlockup,
and sometimes not ever recover.
To solve this problem I did what you see in Path 5/5. Once we have a
SO_REUSEPORT socket on the tb->owners list we know that the socket has no
conflicts with any of the other sockets on that list. So we can add a copy of
the sock_common (really all we need is the recv_saddr but it seemed ugly to copy
just the ipv6, ipv4, and flag to indicate if we were ipv6 only in there so I've
copied the whole common) in order to check subsequent SO_REUSEPORT sockets. If
they match the previous one then we can skip the expensive
inet_csk_bind_conflict check. This is what eliminated the soft lockup that we
were seeing.
Patches 1-4 are cleanups and re-workings. For instance when we specify port ==
0 we need to find an open port, but we would do two passes through
inet_csk_bind_conflict every time we found a possible port. We would also keep
track of the smallest_port value in order to try and use it if we found no
port our first run through. This however made no sense as it would have had to
fail the first pass through inet_csk_bind_conflict, so would not actually pass
the second pass through either. Finally I split the function into two functions
in order to make it easier to read and to distinguish between the two behaviors.
I have tested this on one of our load balancing boxes during peak traffic and it
hasn't fallen over. But this is not my area, so obviously feel free to point
out where I'm being stupid and I'll get it fixed up and retested. Thanks,
====================

If we have non reuseport sockets on a tb we will set tb->fastreuseport to 0 and
never set it again. Which means that in the future if we end up adding a bunch
of reuseport sk's to that tb we'll have to do the expensive scan every time.
Instead add the ipv4/ipv6 saddr fields to the bind bucket, as well as the family
so we know what comparison to make, and the ipv6 only setting so we can make
sure to compare with new sockets appropriately. Once one sk has made it onto
the list we know that there are no potential bind conflicts on the owners list
that match that sk's rcv_addr. So copy the sk's information into our bind
bucket and set tb->fastruseport to FASTREUSESOCK_STRICT so we know we have to do
an extra check for subsequent reuseport sockets and skip the expensive bind
conflict check.

This is just wasted time, we've already found a tb that doesn't have a bind
conflict, and we don't drop the head lock so scanning again isn't going to give
us a different answer. Instead move the tb->reuse setting logic outside of the
found_tb path and put it in the success: path. Then make it so that we don't
goto again if we find a bind conflict in the found_tb path as we won't reach
this anymore when we are scanning for an ephemeral port.

In inet_csk_get_port we seem to be using smallest_port to figure out where the
best place to look for a SO_REUSEPORT sk that matches with an existing set of
SO_REUSEPORT's. However if we get to the logic
if (smallest_size != -1) {
port = smallest_port;
goto have_port;
}
we will do a useless search, because we would have already done the
inet_csk_bind_conflict for that port and it would have returned 1, otherwise we
would have gone to found_tb and succeeded. Since this logic makes us do yet
another trip through inet_csk_bind_conflict for a port we know won't work just
delete this code and save us the time.

Using a Mac OSX box as a client connecting to a Linux server, we have found
that when certain applications (such as 'ab'), are abruptly terminated
(via ^C), a FIN is sent followed by a RST packet on tcp connections. The
FIN is accepted by the Linux stack but the RST is sent with the same
sequence number as the FIN, and Linux responds with a challenge ACK per
RFC 5961. The OSX client then sometimes (they are rate-limited) does not
reply with any RST as would be expected on a closed socket.
This results in sockets accumulating on the Linux server left mostly in
the CLOSE_WAIT state, although LAST_ACK and CLOSING are also possible.
This sequence of events can tie up a lot of resources on the Linux server
since there may be a lot of data in write buffers at the time of the RST.
Accepting a RST equal to rcv_nxt - 1, after we have already successfully
processed a FIN, has made a significant difference for us in practice, by
freeing up unneeded resources in a more expedient fashion.
A packetdrill test demonstrating the behavior:
// testing mac osx rst behavior
// Establish a connection
0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
