[PATCH v2 1/8] vsock/virtio: limit the memory used per-socket

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

 



Since virtio-vsock was introduced, the buffers filled by the host
and pushed to the guest using the vring, are directly queued in
a per-socket list avoiding to copy it.
These buffers are preallocated by the guest with a fixed
size (4 KB).

The maximum amount of memory used by each socket should be
controlled by the credit mechanism.
The default credit available per-socket is 256 KB, but if we use
only 1 byte per packet, the guest can queue up to 262144 of 4 KB
buffers, using up to 1 GB of memory per-socket. In addition, the
guest will continue to fill the vring with new 4 KB free buffers
to avoid starvation of other sockets.

This patch solves this issue copying the payload in a new buffer.
Then it is queued in the per-socket list, and the 4KB buffer used
by the host is freed.

In this way, the memory used by each socket respects the credit
available, and we still avoid starvation, paying the cost of an
extra memory copy. When the buffer is completely full we do a
"zero-copy", moving the buffer directly in the per-socket list.
