From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In nginx/wrk multithread and 10K connections benchmark, the backend TCP connection established very slowly, and lots of TCP connections stay in SYN_SENT state. Server: smc_run nginx Client: smc_run wrk -c 10000 -t 4 http://server Socket state in client host (wrk) shows like: ss -t | wc -l 10000 ss -t | grep "SYN-SENT" | wc -l 6248 While the socket state in server host (nginx) shows like: ss -t | wc -l 3752 Furthermore, the netstate of server host shows like: 145042 times the listen queue of a socket overflowed 145042 SYNs to LISTEN sockets dropped This issue caused by smc_listen_work(), since the smc_tcp_listen_work() shared the same workqueue (smc_hs_wq) with smc_listen_work(), while smc_listen_work() do blocking wait for smc connection established, which meanwhile block the accept() from TCP listen queue. This patch create a independent workqueue(smc_tcp_ls_wq) for smc_tcp_listen_work(), separate it from smc_listen_work(), which is quite acceptable considering that smc_tcp_listen_work() runs very fast. After this patch, the smc 10K connections benchmark in my case is 5 times faster than before. Before patch : smc_run ./wrk -c 10000 -t 3 -d 20 http://server 3 threads and 10000 connections 143300 requests in 20.04s, 94.29MB read Requests/sec: 7150.33 Transfer/sec: 4.70MB After patch: smc_run ./wrk -c 10000 -t 3 -d 20 http://server 3 threads and 10000 connections 902091 requests in 21.99s, 593.56MB read Requests/sec: 41017.52 Transfer/sec: 26.99MB Signed-off-by: D.
