[PATCH net-next 0/7] net/smc: some datapath performance optimizations

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

 



Hi:

This series tries to improve the performance of SMC in datapath.

- patch #1, add sysctl interface to support tuning the behaviour of
  SMC in container environment.

- patch #2/#3, add autocorking support which is very efficient for small
  messages without trade-off for latency.

- patch #4, send directly on setting TCP_NODELAY, without wake up the
  TX worker, this make it consistent with clearing TCP_CORK.

- patch #5, this correct the setting of RMB window update limit, so
  we don't send CDC messages to update peer's RMB window too frequently
  in some cases.

- patch #6, implemented something like NAPI in SMC, decrease the number
  of hardirq when busy.

- patch #7, this moves TX work doing in the BH to the user context when
  sock_lock is hold by user.


With this patchset applied, we can get a good performance gain:
- qperf tcp_bw test has shown a great improvement. Other benchmarks like
  'netperf TCP_STREAM' or 'sockperf throughput' has similar result.
- In my testing environment, running qperf tcp_bw and tcp_lat, SMC behaves
  better then TCP in most all message size.

Here are some test results with the following testing command:
client: smc_run taskset -c 1 qperf smc-server -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2 \
		-t 30 -vu tcp_{bw|lat}
server: smc_run taskset -c 1 qperf

------------
Test environment notes:
1. Testing is run on 2 VMs within the same physical host
2. The NIC is ConnectX-4Lx, using SRIOV, and passing through 2 VFs to the
   2 VMs respectively.
3. To decrease jitter, VM's vCPU are binded to each physical CPU, and those
   physical CPUs are all isolated using boot parameter `isolcpus=xxx`
4. The queue number are set to 1, and interrupt from the queue is binded to
   CPU0 in the guest
