Jakub Kicinski 4fa37e4911 Merge branch 'tcp-introduce-optional-per-netns-ehash'
Kuniyuki Iwashima says:

====================
tcp: Introduce optional per-netns ehash.

The more sockets we have in the hash table, the longer we spend looking
up the socket.  While running a number of small workloads on the same
host, they penalise each other and cause performance degradation.

The root cause might be a single workload that consumes much more
resources than the others.  It often happens on a cloud service where
different workloads share the same computing resource.

On EC2 c5.24xlarge instance (196 GiB memory and 524288 (1Mi / 2) ehash
entries), after running iperf3 in different netns, creating 24Mi sockets
without data transfer in the root netns causes about 10% performance
regression for the iperf3's connection.

 thash_entries		sockets		length		Gbps
	524288		      1		     1		50.7
			   24Mi		    48		45.1

It is basically related to the length of the list of each hash bucket.
For testing purposes to see how performance drops along the length,
I set 131072 (1Mi / 8) to thash_entries, and here's the result.

 thash_entries		sockets		length		Gbps
        131072		      1		     1		50.7
			    1Mi		     8		49.9
			    2Mi		    16		48.9
			    4Mi		    32		47.3
			    8Mi		    64		44.6
			   16Mi		   128		40.6
			   24Mi		   192		36.3
			   32Mi		   256		32.5
			   40Mi		   320		27.0
			   48Mi		   384		25.0

To resolve the socket lookup degradation, we introduce an optional
per-netns hash table for TCP, but it's just ehash, and we still share
the global bhash, bhash2 and lhash2.

With a smaller ehash, we can look up non-listener sockets faster and
isolate such noisy neighbours.  Also, we can reduce lock contention.

For details, please see the last patch.

  patch 1 - 4: prep for per-netns ehash
  patch     5: small optimisation for netns dismantle without TIME_WAIT sockets
  patch     6: add per-netns ehash

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for reviewing and advising.

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.
