Re: [PATCH v3] scsi:tcmu: switch tcmu completion path to work queue context

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

 



Hi Liu,

thank you for the patch.

To be honest I'm not sure this is the right way to boost performance.
Since tcmu still uses the cmdr_lock to serialize all work in kernel,
the only effect AFAICS is that userspace returns faster from the
uio_write(). This probably just speeds up userspace if it runs as one
thread only.
Do you also have measurement results for small IOs?

I'd prefer to first finalize and send my patch series that makes tcmu
release cmdr_lock while copying data - in READ direction as well as in
WRITE direction. Using LIO core's completion wq allows to do multiple
data copies in both direction in parallel, if the fabric allows to
handle multiple incoming WRITES in parallel.

With that series in place it would be good to have another try with
your change. I)f it still can boost throughput, I'll be happy to
accept it.

Bodo

Currently, tcmu do completion in uio_write context, the userspace

work queue context for better performance.

Use tcmu + file to evaluate performance,
fio job: fio -filename=/dev/sdb  -direct=1 -size=2G -name=1 -thread
-runtime=60 -time_based  -rw=randwrite -numjobs=16 -iodepth=16 -bs=128k

Without this patch:

(181MB/s-183MB/s), io=163GiB (175GB), run=60001-60001msec

With this patch:
