[PATCH] RDMA/mlx4: Spread completion vectors for proxy CQs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



MAD packet sending/receiving is not properly virtualized in
CX-3. Hence, these are proxied through the PF driver. The proxying
uses UD QPs. The associated CQs are created with completion vector
zero.

This leads to great imbalance in CPU processing, in particular during
heavy RDMA CM traffic.

Solved by selecting the completion vector on a round-robin base.

The imbalance can be demonstrated in a bare-metal environment, where
two nodes have instantiated 8 VFs each. This using dual ported HCAs,
so we have 16 vPorts per physical server.

64 processes are associated with each vPort and creates and destroys
one QP for each of the remote 64 processes. That is, 1024 QPs per
vPort, all in all 16K QPs. The QPs are created/destroyed using the
CM.

Before this commit, we have (excluding all completion IRQs with zero
interrupts):
