tcp: switch to GSO being always on
Oleksandr Natalenko reported performance issues with BBR without FQ
packet scheduler that were root caused to lack of SG and GSO/TSO on
his configuration.
In this mode, TCP internal pacing has to setup a high resolution timer
for each MSS sent.
We could implement in TCP a strategy similar to the one adopted
in commit fefa569a9d4b ("net_sched: sch_fq: account for schedule/timers drifts")
or decide to finally switch TCP stack to a GSO only mode.
This has many benefits :
1) Most TCP developments are done with TSO in mind.
2) Less high-resolution timers needs to be armed for TCP-pacing
3) GSO can benefit of xmit_more hint
4) Receiver GRO is more effective (as if TSO was used for real on sender)
-> Lower ACK traffic
5) Write queues have less overhead (one skb holds about 64KB of payload)
6) SACK coalescing just works.
7) rtx rb-tree contains less packets, SACK is cheaper.
This patch implements the minimum patch, but we can remove some legacy
code as follow ups.
Tested:
On 40Gbit link, one netperf -t TCP_STREAM
BBR+fq:
sg on: 26 Gbits/sec
sg off: 15.7 Gbits/sec (was 2.3 Gbit before patch)
BBR+pfifo_fast:
sg on: 24.2 Gbits/sec
sg off: 14.9 Gbits/sec (was 0.66 Gbit before patch !!! )
BBR+fq_codel:
sg on: 24.4 Gbits/sec
sg off: 15 Gbits/sec (was 0.66 Gbit before patch !!! )
