[ Upstream commit 8423be8926aa82cd2e28bba5cc96ccb72c7ce6be ]

Route hints when the nexthop is part of a multipath group causes packets
in the same receive batch to be sent to the same nexthop irrespective of
the multipath hash of the packet. So, do not extract route hint for
packets whose destination is part of a multipath group.

A new SKB flag IP6SKB_MULTIPATH is introduced for this purpose, set the
flag when route is looked up in fib6_select_path() and use it in
ip6_can_use_hint() to check for the existence of the flag.

Fixes: 197dbf24e360 ("ipv6: introduce and uses route look hints for list input.")

In blamed commit, we missed the fact that ip6_validate_gw()
could change dev under us from ip6_route_check_nh()

In this fix, I use GFP_ATOMIC in order to not pass too many additional
arguments to ip6_validate_gw() and ip6_route_check_nh() only
for a rarely used debug feature.

New users of dev_get_by_index() and dev_get_by_name() keep
getting added and it would be nice to steer them towards
the APIs with reference tracking.

Add variants of those calls which allocate the reference
tracker and use them in a couple of places.

Patch "net: dst: Prevent false sharing vs. dst_entry:: __refcnt" moved
rt_uncached and rt_uncached_list fields from rtable struct to dst
struct, so they are more zeroed by memset_after(xdst, 0, u.dst) in
xfrm_alloc_dst().

Note that rt_uncached (list_head) was never properly initialized at
alloc time, but xfrm[46]_dst_destroy() is written in such a way that
it was not an issue thanks to the memset:

	if (xdst-&gt;u.rt.dst.rt_uncached_list)
		rt_del_uncached_list(&amp;xdst-&gt;u.rt);

The route code does it the other way around: rt_uncached_list is
assumed to be valid IIF rt_uncached list_head is not empty:

void rt_del_uncached_list(struct rtable *rt)
{
        if (!list_empty(&amp;rt-&gt;dst.rt_uncached)) {
                struct uncached_list *ul = rt-&gt;dst.rt_uncached_list;

                spin_lock_bh(&amp;ul-&gt;lock);
                list_del_init(&amp;rt-&gt;dst.rt_uncached);
                spin_unlock_bh(&amp;ul-&gt;lock);
        }
}

This patch adds mandatory rt_uncached list_head initialization in
generic dst_init(), and adapt xfrm[46]_dst_destroy logic to match the
rest of the code.

<title>net: dst: Switch to rcuref_t reference counting</title>

Under high contention dst_entry::__refcnt becomes a significant bottleneck.

atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a cmpxchg() loop, which goes into
high retry rates on contention.

Switch the reference count to rcuref_t which results in a significant
performance gain. Rename the reference count member to __rcuref to reflect
the change.

The gain depends on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent
operations and has been measured in the range of +25% to +130% with a
localhost memtier/memcached benchmark which amplifies the problem
massively.

Running the memtier/memcached benchmark over a real (1Gb) network
connection the conversion on top of the false sharing fix for struct
dst_entry::__refcnt results in a total gain in the 2%-5% range over the
upstream baseline.

<content type='text'>
dst_entry::__refcnt is highly contended in scenarios where many connections
happen from and to the same IP. The reference count is an atomic_t, so the
reference count operations have to take the cache-line exclusive.

Aside of the unavoidable reference count contention there is another
significant problem which is caused by that: False sharing.

perf top identified two affected read accesses. dst_entry::lwtstate and
rtable::rt_genid.

dst_entry:__refcnt is located at offset 64 of dst_entry, which puts it into
a seperate cacheline vs. the read mostly members located at the beginning
of the struct.

That prevents false sharing vs. the struct members in the first 64
bytes of the structure, but there is also

  dst_entry::lwtstate

which is located after the reference count and in the same cache line. This
member is read after a reference count has been acquired.

struct rtable embeds a struct dst_entry at offset 0. struct dst_entry has a
size of 112 bytes, which means that the struct members of rtable which
follow the dst member share the same cache line as dst_entry::__refcnt.
Especially

  rtable::rt_genid

is also read by the contexts which have a reference count acquired
already.

When dst_entry:__refcnt is incremented or decremented via an atomic
operation these read accesses stall. This was found when analysing the
memtier benchmark in 1:100 mode, which amplifies the problem extremly.

Move the rt[6i]_uncached[_list] members out of struct rtable and struct
rt6_info into struct dst_entry to provide padding and move the lwtstate
member after that so it ends up in the same cache line.

The resulting improvement depends on the micro-architecture and the number
of CPUs. It ranges from +20% to +120% with a localhost memtier/memcached
benchmark.

rt6_check_neigh() uses read_lock() to protect n-&gt;nud_state reading.

This seems overkill and causes false sharing.
