tcp: attach SYNACK messages to request sockets instead of listener
If a listen backlog is very big (to avoid syncookies), then
the listener sk->sk_wmem_alloc is the main source of false
sharing, as we need to touch it twice per SYNACK re-transmit
and TX completion.
(One SYN packet takes listener lock once, but up to 6 SYNACK
are generated)
By attaching the skb to the request socket, we remove this
source of contention.
Tested:
listen(fd,
10485760); // single listener (no SO_REUSEPORT)
16 RX/TX queue NIC
Sustain a SYNFLOOD attack of ~320,000 SYN per second,
Sending ~1,400,000 SYNACK per second.
Perf profiles now show listener spinlock being next bottleneck.
