Salvatore Dipietro da70948068 tcp: Add memory barrier to tcp_push()
[ Upstream commit 7267e8dcad6b2f9fce05a6a06335d7040acbc2b6 ]

On CPUs with weak memory models, reads and updates performed by tcp_push
to the sk variables can get reordered leaving the socket throttled when
it should not. The tasklet running tcp_wfree() may also not observe the
memory updates in time and will skip flushing any packets throttled by
tcp_push(), delaying the sending. This can pathologically cause 40ms
extra latency due to bad interactions with delayed acks.

Adding a memory barrier in tcp_push removes the bug, similarly to the
previous commit bf06200e73 ("tcp: tsq: fix nonagle handling").
smp_mb__after_atomic() is used to not incur in unnecessary overhead
on x86 since not affected.

Patch has been tested using an AWS c7g.2xlarge instance with Ubuntu
22.04 and Apache Tomcat 9.0.83 running the basic servlet below:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {
    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=utf-8");
        OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(response.getOutputStream(),"UTF-8");
        String s = "a".repeat(3096);
        osw.write(s,0,s.length());
        osw.flush();
    }
}

Load was applied using wrk2 (https://github.com/kinvolk/wrk2) from an AWS
c6i.8xlarge instance. Before the patch an additional 40ms latency from P99.99+
values is observed while, with the patch, the extra latency disappears.

Patch has been also tested on x86 (m7i.2xlarge instance) which it is not
affected by this issue and the patch doesn't introduce any additional
delay.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
