Hi Anna- I think these are ready to merge. This is a series of fixes and architectural changes that should improve robustness and result in better scalability of NFS/RDMA. The fundamental observation is that the RPC work queues are BOUND, thus rescheduling work in the Receive completion handler to one of these work queues just forces it to run later on the same CPU. So try to do more work right in the Receive completion handler to reduce context switch overhead. A secondary concern is that the average amount of wall-clock time it takes to handle a single Receive completion caps the IOPS rate (both per-xprt and per-NIC). In this patch series I've taken a few steps to reduce that latency, and I'm looking into a few others. This series can be fetched from: git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/cel-2.6.git in topic branch "nfs-for-5.3". Changes since v3: * Fixed use-after-free bug introduced in two patches Changes since v2: * Rebased on v5.2-rc5 * Changed trace points to display errors as negative values * Used BIT() when defining trace point flag values * Updated NFS lookup flags as well Changes since RFC: * Rebased on v5.2-rc4 * Clarified some patch descriptions and comments * Addressed Anna's compiler warning in frwr_unmap_[a]sync * Cross-ported recent xs_connect changes to xprt_rdma_connect * Fixed several trace-event bugs --- Chuck Lever (19): xprtrdma: Fix a BUG when tracing is enabled with NFSv4.1 on RDMA xprtrdma: Fix use-after-free in rpcrdma_post_recvs xprtrdma: Replace use of xdr_stream_pos in rpcrdma_marshal_req xprtrdma: Fix occasional transport deadlock xprtrdma: Remove the RPCRDMA_REQ_F_PENDING flag xprtrdma: Remove fr_state xprtrdma: Add mechanism to place MRs back on the free list xprtrdma: Reduce context switching due to Local Invalidation xprtrdma: Wake RPCs directly in rpcrdma_wc_send path xprtrdma: Simplify rpcrdma_rep_create xprtrdma: Streamline rpcrdma_post_recvs xprtrdma: Refactor chunk encoding xprtrdma: Remove rpcrdma_req::rl_buffer xprtrdma: Modernize ops->connect NFS4: Add a trace event to record invalid CB sequence IDs NFS: Fix show_nfs_errors macros again NFS: Display symbolic status code names in trace log NFS: Update symbolic flags displayed by trace events NFS: Record task, client ID, and XID in xdr_status trace points fs/nfs/callback_proc.c | 28 ++- fs/nfs/nfs2xdr.c | 2 fs/nfs/nfs3xdr.c | 2 fs/nfs/nfs4trace.h | 207 +++++++++++++++---------- fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c | 2 fs/nfs/nfstrace.h | 233 +++++++++++++++++++++------- include/linux/sunrpc/xprt.h | 3 include/trace/events/rpcrdma.h | 90 ++++++++--- net/sunrpc/sched.c | 1 net/sunrpc/xprt.c | 32 ++++ net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/frwr_ops.c | 327 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/rpc_rdma.c | 148 ++++++++---------- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/transport.c | 83 ++++++++-- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c | 115 ++++++-------- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/xprt_rdma.h | 44 +---- net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c | 23 --- 16 files changed, 837 insertions(+), 503 deletions(-) -- Chuck Lever
