[PATCH 12/13] target, vhost-scsi: don't switch cpus on completion

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

 



LIO wants to complete a cmd on the CPU it was submitted on, because
most drivers have per cpu or hw queue handlers. But, for vhost-scsi
which has the single thread for submissions and completions this
is not always the best thing to do since the thread could be running
on a different CPU now, and it conflicts with what the user has setup
in the lower levels with settings like the block layer rq_affinity
or for network block devices what the user has setup on their nic.

This patch has vhost-scsi tell LIO to complete the cmd on the CPU the
layer below LIO has completed the cmd on. We then stop fighting
the block, net and whatever layer/setting is below us.

With this patch and the previous ones I see an increase in IOPs by about
50% (234K -> 350K) for random 4K workloads like:

fio --filename=/dev/sda  --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128  --numjobs=8 --time_based
--group_reporting --runtime=60
