* ipcpd: Fix slow start in multi-bit (F)ECN policyDimitri Staessens2020-12-071-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | There is a check not to rapidly double the window to astronomical sizes when there is no congestion experienced for long periods of time, but the if-else logic was botched and it still grew to astronomical sizes (albeit linear instead of exponential). I also lowered the ECN threshold a bit. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <dimitri@ouroboros.rocks> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander@ouroboros.rocks>
* ipcpd: Remove DT-FA bypass on receiver sideDimitri Staessens2020-12-075-63/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The DT will now post all packets for N+1 flows through the flow allocator component. This means that N+1 flows can be monitored through the flow allocator stats, and N-1 flows through the DT stats. The DT component still keeps stats for the local components (FA and DHT), but this can be removed once the DHT has its own RIB output. The flow allocator show statistics for Sent packets: total packets that were presented for sending on this specific flow Send failed: packets that were unable to be sent Received packets: total packets that were presented by the DT component on this specific flow Received failed: packets that were unable to be delivered These stats are presented as both packet counts and byte counts. To know how many were successful, the values for failed need to be subtracted from the values for total.

* ipcpd: Add RIB statistics for flow allocatorDimitri Staessens2020-12-058-12/+255
| | | | | | | | | | The RIB will now show some stats for the flow allocator, including congestion avoidance statistics. This is needed before decoupling the data transfer component and the flow allocator as some current stats show in DT will move to FA.

* ipcpd: Simplify multi-bit (F)ECN policyDimitri Staessens2020-12-021-54/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | The mb-ecn policy has a couple of divisions in the math, which I wanted to avoid. Now it measures the number of bytes sent in a window, and updates the next window with AIMD logic. If the number of bytes in the window is reached, the call blocks. To avoid long packet bursts, the window size continually scales to contain between CA_MINPS (8) and CA_MAXPS (64) packets.

* ipcpd: Don't update for deallocated flowsDimitri Staessens2020-12-021-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | The dt component bypasses the flow allocator on the receiver side, and may try to update congestion context when the flow has already been deallocated by the receiver. I will fix this bypass and always pass through the flow allocator sometime soon; for now, I added a check in the flow allocator call to avoid the SEGV.

* ipcpd: Add congestion avoidance policiesDimitri Staessens2020-12-0221-140/+957
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds congestion avoidance policies to the unicast IPCP. The default policy is a multi-bit explicit congestion avoidance algorithm based on data-center TCP congestion avoidance (DCTCP) to relay information about the maximum queue depth that packets experienced to the receiver. There's also a "nop" policy to disable congestion avoidance for testing and benchmarking purposes. The (initial) API for congestion avoidance policies is: void * (* ctx_create)(void); void (* ctx_destroy)(void * ctx); These calls create / and or destroy a context for congestion control for a specific flow. Thread-safety of the context is the responsability of the flow allocator (operations on the ctx should be performed under a lock). ca_wnd_t (* ctx_update_snd)(void * ctx, size_t len); This is the sender call to update the context, and should be called for every packet that is sent on the flow. The len parameter in this API is the packet length, which allows calculating the bandwidth. It returns an opaque union type that is used for the call to check/wait if the congestion window is open or closed (and allowing to release locks before waiting). bool (* ctx_update_rcv)(void * ctx, size_t len, uint8_t ecn, uint16_t * ece); This is the call to update the flow congestion context on the receiver side. It should be called for every received packet. It gets the ecn value from the packet and its length, and returns the ECE (explicit congestion experienced) value to be sent to the sender in case of congestion. The boolean returned signals whether or not a congestion update needs to be sent. void (* ctx_update_ece)(void * ctx, uint16_t ece); This is the call for the sending side top update the context when it receives an ECE update from the receiver. void (* wnd_wait)(ca_wnd_t wnd); This is a (blocking) call that waits for the congestion window to clear. It should be stateless (to avoid waiting under locks). This may change later on if passing the context is needed for different algorithms. uint8_t (* calc_ecn)(int fd, size_t len); This is the call that intermediate IPCPs(routers) should use to update the ECN field on passing packets. The multi-bit ECN policy bases the value for the ECN field on the depth of the rbuff queue packets will be sent on. I created another call to grab the queue depth as fccntl is write-locking the application. We can further optimize this to avoid most locking on the rbuff.

* tools: Default ocbr to sleep and add --spin optionDimitri Staessens2020-12-021-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | The ocbr client was spinning the CPU by default, which made sense on lab servers with dual xeons, but not so much for average users. Now sleeping becomes the default.

* tools: Use read timeouts in ocbr serverDimitri Staessens2020-11-251-1/+3

* lib: Reduce timerwheel CPU consumptionDimitri Staessens2020-11-252-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | The timerwheel is checked during IPC calls (fevent, flow_read), causing huge load on CPU consumption in IPCPs, since they have a lot of fevent() threads for QoS. The timerwheel will need further optimization), but for now I reduced the default tick time to 5 ms and added a boolean to check that the wheel is actually used.

* irmd: Fix data race in flow allocationDimitri Staessens2020-11-251-73/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | The flow information in the main loop is passed as a direct pointer to an irm_flow object in the flow database. This was (probably) not really an issue due to how the flow allocation operations work, but the thread sanitizer was barfing a lot of (correct) data race errors when running bigger tests, so now makes a safe copy of the data.

* lib: Add Rendez-Vous mechanism for flow controlDimitri Staessens2020-10-113-31/+130
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the rendez-vous mechanism to handle the case where the sending window is closed and window updates get lost. If the sending window is closed, the sender side will send an RDVS every DELT_RDV time (100ms), and give up after MAX_RDV time (1 second). Upon reception of a RDVS packet, a window update is sent immediately. We can make this much more configurable later on (build options for defaults, fccntl for runtime tuning).

| | | | | | | | | | | If the sending window for flow control is closed, the sending application will now block until the window opens. Beware that until the rendez-vous mechanism is implemented, shutting down a server while the client is sending (with non-timed-out blocking write) will cause the client to hang indefinitely because its window will close.

The timerwheel will now reschedule when it fails to create a packet, instead of setting the flow down immediately.

* lib: Complete retransmission logicDimitri Staessens2020-09-259-399/+693
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This completes the retransmission (automated repeat-request, ARQ) logic, sending (delayed) ACK messages when needed. On deallocation, flows will ACK try to retransmit any remaining unacknowledged messages (unless the FRCTFLINGER flag is turned off; this is on by default). Applications can safely shut down as soon as everything is ACK'd (i.e. the current Delta-t run is done). The activity timeout is now passed to the IPCP for it to sleep before completing deallocation (and releasing the flow_id). That should be moved to the IRMd in due time. The timerwheel is revised to be multi-level to reduce memory consumption. The resolution bumps by a factor of 1 << RXMQ_BUMP (16) and each level has RXMQ_SLOTS (1 << 8) slots. The lowest level has a resolution of (1 << RXMQ_RES) (20) ns, which is roughly a millisecond. Currently, 3 levels are defined, so the largest delay we can schedule at each level is: Level 0: 256ms Level 1: 4s Level 2: about a minute.

* lib: Allow pure acknowledgment packets in FRCTDimitri Staessens2020-06-064-152/+298
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the logic to send a pure acknowledgment packet without any data to send. This needed the event filter for the fqueue, as these non-data packets should not trigger application PKT events. The default timeout is now 10ms, until we have FRCP tuning as part of fccntl. Karn's algorithm seems to be very unstable with low (sub-ms) RTT estimates. Doubling RTO (every RTO) seems still too slow to prevent rtx storms when the measured rtt suddenly spikes several orders of magnitude. Just assuming the ACK'd packet is the last one transmitted seems to be a lot more stable. It can lead to temporary underestimation, but this is not a throughput-killer in FRCP.

| | | | | | | | | | This is a small refactor of FRCT because I found some things a bit hard to read.

This is more in line with the way they are described in the article. Operations have been added to create/destroy names independently of registering. This was previously done only as part of register, and there was no way to delete a name from the IRMd. The create call now allows specifying a policy for load-balancing incoming flows for a name. The default is the new round-robin load-balancer, the previous behaviour is still available as a spillover load-balancer. The register calls will still create a name if it doesn't exist, with the default round-robin load-balancer. The tools now have a "name" section, so the format is now irm name <operation> <name> ...
