2025-02-06wgengine/netstack: block link writes when full rather than dropJames Tucker1-22/+27
Originally identified by Coder and documented in their blog post, this implementation differs slightly as our link endpoint was introduced for a different purpose, but the behavior is the same: apply backpressure rather than dropping packets. This reduces the negative impact of large packet count bursts substantially. An alternative would be to swell the size of the channel buffer substantially, however that's largely just moving where buffering occurs and may lead to reduced signalling back to lower layer or upstream congestion controls.

2024-08-20net/tstun,wgengine{/netstack/gro}: refactor and re-enable gVisor GRO for ↵Jordan Whited1-150/+38
Linux (#13172) In 2f27319baf71681e221904d3a3ffe1badedc8e2e we disabled GRO due to a data race around concurrent calls to tstun.Wrapper.Write(). This commit refactors GRO to be thread-safe, and re-enables it on Linux. This refactor now carries a GRO type across tstun and netstack APIs with a lifetime that is scoped to a single tstun.Wrapper.Write() call. In 25f0a3fc8f6f9cf681bb5afda8e1762816c67a8b we used build tags to prevent importation of gVisor's GRO package on iOS as at the time we believed it was contributing to additional memory usage on that platform. It wasn't, so this commit simplifies and removes those build tags. Updates tailscale/corp#22353 Updates tailscale/corp#22125 Updates #6816 Signed-off-by: Jordan Whited <jordan@tailscale.com>

2024-08-02go.mod,net/tstun,wgengine/netstack: implement gVisor TCP GRO for Linux (#12921)Jordan Whited1-13/+172
This commit implements TCP GRO for packets being written to gVisor on Linux. Windows support will follow later. The wireguard-go dependency is updated in order to make use of newly exported IP checksum functions. gVisor is updated in order to make use of newly exported stack.PacketBuffer GRO logic. TCP throughput towards gVisor, i.e. TUN write direction, is dramatically improved as a result of this commit. Benchmarks show substantial improvement, sometimes as high as 2x. High bandwidth-delay product paths remain receive window limited, bottlenecked by gVisor's default TCP receive socket buffer size. This will be addressed in a follow-on commit. The iperf3 results below demonstrate the effect of this commit between two Linux computers with i5-12400 CPUs. There is roughly ~13us of round trip latency between them. The first result is from commit 57856fc without TCP GRO. Starting Test: protocol: TCP, 1 streams, 131072 byte blocks - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Test Complete.

2024-07-31go.mod,net/tstun,wgengine/netstack: implement gVisor TCP GSO for Linux (#12869)Jordan Whited1-0/+256
This commit implements TCP GSO for packets being read from gVisor on Linux. Windows support will follow later. The wireguard-go dependency is updated in order to make use of newly exported GSO logic from its tun package. A new gVisor stack.LinkEndpoint implementation has been established (linkEndpoint) that is loosely modeled after its predecessor (channel.Endpoint). This new implementation supports GSO of monster TCP segments up to 64K in size, whereas channel.Endpoint only supports up to 32K. linkEndpoint will also be required for GRO, which will be implemented in a follow-on commit. TCP throughput from gVisor, i.e. TUN read direction, is dramatically improved as a result of this commit. Benchmarks show substantial improvement through a wide range of RTT and loss conditions, sometimes as high as 5x. The iperf3 results below demonstrate the effect of this commit between two Linux computers with i5-12400 CPUs. There is roughly ~13us of round trip latency between them. The first result is from commit 57856fc without TCP GSO. Starting Test: protocol: TCP, 1 streams, 131072 byte blocks - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Test Complete.
