2018-11-07tcp: consume incoming buffers instead of reusingFlorin Coras1-0/+7
Instead of reusing buffers for acking, consume all buffers and program output for (dup)ack generation. This implicitly fixes the drop counters that were artificially inflated by both data and feedback traffic. Moreover, the patch also significantly reduces the ack traffic as we now only generate an ack per frame, unless duplicate acks need to be sent. Because of the reduced feedback traffic, a sender's rx path and a receiver's tx path are now significantly less loaded. In particular, a sender can overwhelm a 40Gbps NIC and generate tx drop bursts for low rtts. Consequently, tx pacing is now enforced by default.

2018-10-25tcp/session: add tx pacerFlorin Coras1-0/+18
Adds tx pacing infrastructure for transport protocols that want to use it. Particularly useful for connections with non-negligible rtt and constrained network throughput as it avoids large tx bursts that lead to local interface tx or network drops. By default the pacer is disabled. To enabled it for tcp, add tx-pacing to tcp's startup conf. We are still slightly inefficient in the handling of incoming packets in established state so the pacer slightly affect maximum throughput in low lacency scenarios.

2018-07-27vcl: use events for epoll/select/read/writeFlorin Coras1-0/+2
Have vcl poll and wait on the event message queues as opposed to constantly polling the session fifos. This also adds event signaling to cut through sessions. On the downside, because we can't wait on multiple condvars, i.e., when we have multiple message queues because of cut-through registrations, we do timed waits.

2018-02-14session: support local sessions and deprecate redirectsFlorin Coras1-10/+48
Memfd backed shared memory segments can only be negotiated over sockets. For such scenarios, the existing redirect mechanism that establishes cut-through sessions does not work anymore as the two peer application do not share such a socket. This patch adds support for local sessions, as opposed to sessions backed by a transport connection, in a way that is almost transparent to the two applications by reusing the existing binary api messages. Moreover, all segment allocations are now entirely done through the segment manager valloc, so segment overlaps due to independent allocations previously required for redirects are completely avoided. The one notable characteristic of local sessions (cut-through from app perspective) notification messages is that they carry pointers to two event queues, one for each app peer, instead of one. For transport-backed sessions one of the queues can be inferred but for local session they cannot. Change-Id: Ia443fb63e2d9d8e43490275062a708f039038175 Signed-off-by: Florin Coras <fcoras@cisco.com>

2017-10-10session: add support for application namespacingFlorin Coras1-16/+25
Applications are now provided the option to select the namespace they are to be attached to and the scope of their attachement. Application namespaces are meant to: 1) constrain the scope of communication through the network by association with source interfaces and/or fib tables that provide the source ips to be used and limit the scope of routing 2) provide a namespace local scope to session layer communication, as opposed to the global scope provided by 1). That is, sessions can be established without assistance from transport and network layers. Albeit, zero/local-host ip addresses must still be provided in session establishment messages due to existing application idiosyncrasies. This mode of communication uses shared-memory fifos (cut-through sessions) exclusively. If applications request no namespace, they are assigned to the default one, which at its turn uses the default fib. Applications can request access to both local and global scopes for a namespace. If no scope is specified, session layer defaults to the global one. When a sw_if_index is provided for a namespace, zero-ip (INADDR_ANY) binds are converted to binds to the requested interface.
