Hi folks,
While experimenting with messenger code in userspace [1] I noticed
that send and receive socket calls always operate with 4k, even bvec
length is larger (for example when bvec is contructed from bio, where
multi-page is used for big IOs). This is an attempt to speed up send
and receive for large IO.
First 3 patches are cleanups. I remove unused code and get rid of
ceph_osd_data structure. I found that ceph_osd_data duplicates
ceph_msg_data and it seems unified API looks better for similar
things.
In the following patches ceph_msg_data_cursor is switched to iov_iter,
which seems is more suitable for such kind of things (when we
basically do socket IO). This gives us the possibility to use the
whole iov_iter for sendmsg() and recvmsg() calls instead of iterating
page by page. sendpage() call also benefits from this, because now if
bvec is constructed from multi-page, then we can 0-copy the whole
bvec in one go.
Hi Roman,
I'm in the process of rewriting the kernel messenger to support msgr2
(i.e. encryption) and noticed the same things. The switch to iov_iter
was the first thing I implemented ;) Among other things is support for
multipage bvecs and explicit socket corking.
Ah, ok, good to know. This patchset came from the userspace variant of
the kernel messenger. These changes also show nice numbers on userspace
side. (of course without sendpage() variant and plus some caching on
receive, which I also implemented for kernel side, but left aside since
this did not show any interesting results for rbd load)
I haven't benchmarked any
of it though -- it just seemed like a sensible thing to do, especially
since the sendmsg/sendpage infrastructure needed changes for encryption
anyway.
I can benchmark on my localhost setup easily. Just add me to CC when
you are done.
Support for kvecs isn't implemented yet, but will be in order to get
rid of all those "allocate a page just to process 16 bytes" sites.
Unfortunately I got distracted by some higher priority issues with the
userspace messenger, so the kernel messenger is in a bit of a state of
disarray at the moment. Here is the excerpt from the send path:
#define CEPH_MSG_FLAGS (MSG_DONTWAIT | MSG_NOSIGNAL)

{
struct msghdr msg = { .msg_flags = CEPH_MSG_FLAGS };
int ret;
msg.msg_iter = *it;
while (iov_iter_count(it)) {
ret = do_one_sendmsg(con, &msg);
if (ret <= 0) {
if (ret == -EAGAIN)
ret = 0;
return ret;
}
iov_iter_advance(it, ret);
}
BUG_ON(msg_data_left(&msg));
return 1;
}
static int do_sendpage(struct ceph_connection *con, struct iov_iter
*it)
{
ssize_t ret;
BUG_ON(!iov_iter_is_bvec(it));
while (iov_iter_count(it)) {
struct page *page = it->bvec->bv_page;
int offset = it->bvec->bv_offset + it->iov_offset;
size_t size = min(it->count,
it->bvec->bv_len - it->iov_offset);
/*

*/
if (page_count(page) >= 1 && !PageSlab(page)) {
ret = do_one_sendpage(con, page, offset, size,
CEPH_MSG_FLAGS);
} else {
struct msghdr msg = { .msg_flags =
CEPH_MSG_FLAGS };
struct bio_vec bv = {
.bv_page = page,
.bv_offset = offset,
.bv_len = size,
};
iov_iter_bvec(&msg.msg_iter, WRITE, &bv, 1,
size);
ret = do_one_sendmsg(con, &msg);
}
if (ret <= 0) {
if (ret == -EAGAIN)
ret = 0;
return ret;
}
iov_iter_advance(it, ret);
}
return 1;
}

dout("%s con %p have %zu is_kvec %d\n", __func__, con,
iov_iter_count(&con->out_iter), is_kvec);
if (is_kvec)
ret = do_sendmsg(con, &con->out_iter);

ret = do_sendpage(con, &con->out_iter);
dout("%s con %p ret %d left %zu\n", __func__, con, ret,
iov_iter_count(&con->out_iter));
return ret;
}
Ha! Nice! That almost exactly what I do in current patchset, except
corking. I still bother with MSG_MORE/MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST :)
BTW kvecs also can be sendpaged. Since we do not have userspace
iovec, thus page can be easily taken. But that is a minor.
I'll make sure to CC you on my patches, should be in a few weeks.
Yes, please. I can help with benchmarking and reviewing.
Getting rid of ceph_osd_data is probably a good idea. FWIW I never
liked it, but not strong enough to bother with removing it.
I also allowed myself to get rid of ->last_piece and ->need_crc
members and ceph_msg_data_next() call. Now CRC is calculated not on
page basis, but according to the size of processed chunk. I found
ceph_msg_data_next() is a bit redundant, since we always can set the
next cursor chunk on cursor init or on advance.
How I tested the performance? I used rbd.fio load on 1 OSD in memory
with the following fio configuration:
direct=1
time_based=1
runtime=10
ioengine=io_uring
size=256m
rw=rand{read|write}
numjobs=32
iodepth=32
[job1]
filename=/dev/rbd0
RBD device is mapped with 'nocrc' option set. For writes OSD
completes
requests immediately, without touching the memory simulating null
block
device, that's why write throughput in my results is much higher than
for reads.
I tested on loopback interface only, in Vm, have not yet setup the
cluster on real machines, so sendpage() on a big multi-page shows
indeed good results, as expected. But I found an interesting comment
in drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_qp_tc.c:siw_tcp_sendpages(), which
says:
"Using sendpage to push page by page appears to be less efficient
than using sendmsg, even if data are copied.
A general performance limitation might be the extra four bytes
trailer checksum segment to be pushed after user data."
I could not prove or disprove since have tested on loopback interface
only. So it might be that sendmsg() in on go is faster than
sendpage() for bvecs with many segments.
Please share any further findings. We have been using sendpage for
the data section of the message since forever and I remember hearing
about a performance regression when someone inadvertently disabled the
sendpage path (can't recall the subsystem -- iSCSI?). If you discover
that sendpage is actually slower, that would be very interesting.
I will try to find a good machine for that with fat network.
Should be easy to benchmark.

Results for small blocks are not interesting, since there should not
be any difference. But starting from 32k block benefits of doing IO
for the whole message at once starts to prevail.
It's not really the whole message, just the header, front and middle
sections, right?
No, that is the whole message. Output of fio rbd load. Or I did not get
your question.
The data section is still per-bvec, it's just that
bvec is no longer limited to a single page but may encompass several
physically contiguous pages.
True. Data section is bvec, which is taken from a bio, which on
its turn has one big physically contiguous multipage. Of course
when there is such a slice of physical contiguous memory.
These are not that easy to come by on
a heavily loaded system, but they do result in nice numbers.
Yeah, sometimes there is quite a big number of segments for a big IO.
And for that case it seems makes sense to do buffering, i.e. calling
sendmsg().
So probably sendpage() makes sense to call when
nr_segs < N && bvec->bv_len > M * 4k
where N and M are some magic numbers which help to resuce costs
of calling do_tcp_sendpages() in a loooong loop. But this is
pure speculation.
