Now vsock only support send/receive small packet, it can't achieve high performance. As previous discussed with Jason Wang, I revisit the idea of vhost-net about mergeable rx buffer and implement the mergeable rx buffer in vhost-vsock, it can allow big packet to be scattered in into different buffers and improve performance obviously. This series of patches mainly did three things: - mergeable buffer implementation - increase the max send pkt size - add used and signal guest in a batch And I write a tool to test the vhost-vsock performance, mainly send big packet(64K) included guest->Host and Host->Guest. I test performance independently and the result as follows: Before performance: Single socket Multiple sockets(Max Bandwidth) Guest->Host ~400MB/s ~480MB/s Host->Guest ~1450MB/s ~1600MB/s After performance only use implement mergeable rx buffer: Single socket Multiple sockets(Max Bandwidth) Guest->Host ~400MB/s ~480MB/s Host->Guest ~1280MB/s ~1350MB/s In this case, max send pkt size is still limited to 4K, so Host->Guest performance will worse than before. After performance increase the max send pkt size to 64K: Single socket Multiple sockets(Max Bandwidth) Guest->Host ~1700MB/s ~2900MB/s Host->Guest ~1500MB/s ~2440MB/s After performance all patches are used: Single socket Multiple sockets(Max Bandwidth) Guest->Host ~1700MB/s ~2900MB/s Host->Guest ~1700MB/s ~2900MB/s >From the test results, the performance is improved obviously, and guest memory will not be wasted. In addition, in order to support mergeable rx buffer in virtio-vsock, we need to add a qemu patch to support parse feature. --- v1 -> v2: * Addressed comments from Jason Wang. * Add performance test result independently. * Use Skb_page_frag_refill() which can use high order page and reduce the stress of page allocator. * Still use fixed size(PAGE_SIZE) to fill rx buffer, because too small size can't fill one full packet, we only 128 vq num now. * Use iovec to replace buf in struct virtio_vsock_pkt, keep tx and rx consistency. * Add virtio_transport ops to get max pkt len, in order to be compatible with old version. --- Yiwen Jiang (5): VSOCK: support fill mergeable rx buffer in guest VSOCK: support fill data to mergeable rx buffer in host VSOCK: support receive mergeable rx buffer in guest VSOCK: increase send pkt len in mergeable mode to improve performance VSOCK: batch sending rx buffer to increase bandwidth drivers/vhost/vsock.c | 183 ++++++++++++++++++++----- include/linux/virtio_vsock.h | 13 +- include/uapi/linux/virtio_vsock.h | 5 + net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport.c | 229 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport_common.c | 66 ++++++--- 5 files changed, 411 insertions(+), 85 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
