[PATCH vhost v2 0/7] vdpa/mlx5: Optimze MKEY operations

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

 



This series improves the time of .set_map() operations by parallelizing
the MKEY creation and deletion for direct MKEYs. Looking at the top
level MKEY creation/deletion functions, the following improvement can be
seen:

|-------------------+-------------|
| operation         | improvement |
|-------------------+-------------|
| create_user_mr()  | 3-5x        |
| destroy_user_mr() | 8x          |
|-------------------+-------------|

The last part of the series introduces lazy MKEY deletion which
postpones the MKEY deletion to a later point in a workqueue.

As this series and the previous ones were targeting live migration,
we can also observe improvements on this front:

|-------------------+------------------+------------------|
| Stage             | Downtime #1 (ms) | Downtime #2 (ms) |
|-------------------+------------------+------------------|
| Baseline          | 3140             | 3630             |
| Parallel MKEY ops | 1200             | 2000             |
| Deferred deletion | 1014             | 1253             |
|-------------------+------------------+------------------|

Test configuration: 256 GB VM, 32 CPUs x 2 threads per core, 4 x mlx5
vDPA devices x 32 VQs (16 VQPs)

This series must be applied on top of the parallel VQ suspend/resume
series [0].
