Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact:
Users of the 3.2/3.5/3.8 series kernel will have poor network throughput when using OpenStack Neutron depending on their setup.

Fix:
These upstream patches are necessary to fix the issue:

2681128f0ced8aa4e66f221197e183cc16d244fe
8093315a91340bca52549044975d8c7f673b28a1

2efd32ee1b60b0b31404ca47c1ce70e5a5d24ebc
f45a5c267da35174e22cec955093a7513dc1623d

Testcase:
Setup OpenStack Neutron. Test throughput between internal and external nodes.

The following explains an example vlan+namespace configuration:
Internal Node: [10.x.x.2]->eth2.123->br123->tap123->qr-123[10.x.x.1] <--- netns: qrouter-123
netns: qrouter-123 ---> qg-234[10.x.y.1]->tap234->br234->eth2.234->External Node[10.x.y.2]
Where:
1) tap123+qr-123 and tap234+qg-234 are veth pairs
2) qr-123 and qg-234 reside inside the qrouter-123 namespace

Another testcase without Openstack:

* create two vms: (vm1, vm2), install iperf on those machines
* connect vms via an isolated bridge
* measure baseline performance
  - iperf -s # on machine 1
  - iperf -t 60 -l 4M -c <machine 1 IP> # on machine 2
* create veth pairs between vms using attached script:
  - ./setup-lp1201869.sh vm1
  - ./setup-lp1201869.sh vm2
* attach VM's interfaces to the created bridges (qbrvm1 / qbrvm2)
* In the VM's setup static IPs
  - sudo ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.1/24 up #vm1
  - sudo ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.2/24 up #vm2
* measure performance now
* we expect this to be close to the existing performance
NOTE: the fixed kernel needs to be on the _hypervisor_

--

OpenStack Neutron does IP forwarding through a network namespace. A veth pair is used to connect into the namespace. The veth pair appears to be the bottleneck, independent of network namespace. In newer versions of Linux (Ubuntu-3.9.0-7.15 / v3.9-rc1 and greater) throughput is much higher by almost 3 times. For example with some testing throughput is 3.5 Gbps in pre 3.9-rc1 versions and 9.1 Gbps with these patches applied.

This has been confirmed on kernels from 3.5.x-3.8.x. (Quantal and Raring lts backports)

A bisection reveals that the following patch solves the issue:
8093315a91340bca52549044975d8c7f673b28a1 veth: extend device features

However it relies on:
2681128f0ced8aa4e66f221197e183cc16d244fe veth: reduce stat overhead
For a clean cherry-pick.

And after building and testing the following bug needed to be fixed with:
d0e2c55e7c940a3ee91e9e23a2683b593690f1e9 veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one

A test build is available here that solves the issue backported to 3.5/3.8:

    veth: fix a NULL deref in netif_carrier_off

    In commit d0e2c55e7c94 (veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one)
    we now clear the peer pointers in veth_dellink()

    veth_close() must therefore make sure the peer pointer is set.

    veth: fix NULL dereference in veth_dellink()

    commit d0e2c55e7c940 (veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one)
    added another NULL deref in veth_dellink().

    # ip link add name veth1 type veth peer name veth0
    # rmmod veth

    We crash because veth_dellink() is called twice, so we must
    take care of NULL peer.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-precise' to 'verification-done-precise'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
