020-02-16 19:25:02 -0800'>2020-02-16tcp-zerocopy: Return sk_err (if set) along with tcp receive zerocopy.Arjun Roy This patchset is intended to reduce the number of extra system calls imposed by TCP receive zerocopy. For ping-pong RPC style workloads, this patchset has demonstrated a system call reduction of about 30% when coupled with userspace changes. For applications using epoll, returning sk_err along with the result of tcp receive zerocopy could remove the need to call recvmsg()=-EAGAIN after a spurious wakeup. Consider a multi-threaded application using epoll. A thread may awaken with EPOLLIN but another thread may already be reading. The spuriously-awoken thread does not necessarily know that another thread 'won'; rather, it may be possible that it was woken up due to the presence of an error if there is no data. A zerocopy read receiving 0 bytes thus would need to be followed up by recvmsg to be sure. Instead, we return sk_err directly with zerocopy, so the application can avoid this extra system call.

For ping-pong RPC style workloads, this patchset has demonstrated a system call reduction of about 30% when coupled with userspace changes. For applications using edge-triggered epoll, returning inq along with the result of tcp receive zerocopy could remove the need to call recvmsg()=-EAGAIN after a successful zerocopy. Generally speaking, since normally we would need to perform a recvmsg() call for every successful small RPC read via TCP receive zerocopy, returning inq can reduce the number of system calls performed by approximately half.
