[PATCH RFC] ipvs: add genetlink cmd to dump all services and destinations

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

 



A common operation for userspace applications managing ipvs is to dump
all services and all destinations and then sort out what needs to be
done. Previously this could only be accomplished by issuing 1 netlink
IPVS_CMD_GET_SERVICE dump command followed by N IPVS_CMD_GET_DEST dump
commands. For a dynamic system with a very large number of services this
could be cause a performance impact.

This patch introduces a new way of dumping all services and destinations
with the new IPVS_CMD_GET_SERVICE_DEST command. A dump call for this
command will send the services as IPVS_CMD_NEW_SERVICE messages
imediatelly followed by its destinations as multiple IPVS_CMD_NEW_DEST
messages. It's also possible to dump a single service and its
destinations by sending a IPVS_CMD_ATTR_SERVICE argument to the dump
command.

To ensure that this patch improves performance I decided to also patch
ipvsadm in order to run some benchmarks comparing 'ipvsadm -Sn' with the
unpatched version. The ipvsadm patch is available on github in [1] for
now but I intend to submit it if this RFC goes forward.

The benchmarks look nice and detailed results and some scripts to allow
reproducing then are available in another github repository [2]. The
summary of the benchmarks is:

svcs  | dsts | run time compared to unpatched
----- | ---- | ------------------------------
 1000 |    4 | -60.63%
 2000 |    2 | -71.10%
 8000 |    2 | -52.83%
16000 |    1 | -54.13%
  100 |  100 |  -4.76%
