net/smc: Allow virtually contiguous sndbufs or RMBs for SMC-R
On long-running enterprise production servers, high-order contiguous memory pages are usually very rare and in most cases we can only get fragmented pages. When replacing TCP with SMC-R in such production scenarios, attempting to allocate high-order physically contiguous sndbufs and RMBs may result in frequent memory compaction, which will cause unexpected hung issue and further stability risks. So this patch is aimed to allow SMC-R link group to use virtually contiguous sndbufs and RMBs to avoid potential issues mentioned above. Whether to use physically or virtually contiguous buffers can be set by sysctl smcr_buf_type. Note that using virtually contiguous buffers will bring an acceptable performance regression, which can be mainly divided into two parts: 1) regression in data path, which is brought by additional address translation of sndbuf by RNIC in Tx. But in general, translating address through MTT is fast. Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, the comparisons in qperf latency and bandwidth test with physically and virtually contiguous buffers are as follows: - client: smc_run taskset -c <cpu> qperf <server> -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2\ -t 5 -vu tcp_{bw|lat} - server: smc_run taskset -c <cpu> qperf [latency] msgsize tcp smcr smcr-use-virt-buf 1 11.17 us 7.56 us 7.51 us (-0.67%) 2 10.65 us 7.74 us 7.56 us (-2.31%) 4 11.11 us 7.52 us 7.59 us ( 0.84%) 8 10.83 us 7.55 us 7.51 us (-0.48%) 16 11.21 us 7.46 us 7.51 us ( 0.71%) 32 10.65 us 7.53 us 7.58 us ( 0.61%) 64 10.95 us 7.74 us 7.80 us ( 0.76%) 128 11.14 us 7.83 us 7.87 us ( 0.47%) 256 10.97 us 7.94 us 7.92 us (-0.28%) 512 11.23 us 7.94 us 8.20 us ( 3.25%) 1024 11.60 us 8.12 us 8.20 us ( 0.96%) 2048 14.04 us 8.30 us 8.51 us ( 2.49%) 4096 16.88 us 9.13 us 9.07 us (-0.64%) 8192 22.50 us 10.56 us 11.22 us ( 6.26%) 16384 28.99 us 12.88 us 13.83 us ( 7.37%) 32768 40.13 us 16.76 us 16.95 us ( 1.16%) 65536 68.70 us 24.68 us 24.85 us ( 0.68%) [bandwidth] msgsize tcp smcr smcr-use-virt-buf 1 1.65 MB/s 1.59 MB/s 1.53 MB/s (-3.88%) 2 3.32 MB/s 3.17 MB/s 3.08 MB/s (-2.67%) 4 6.66 MB/s 6.33 MB/s 6.09 MB/s (-3.85%) 8 13.67 MB/s 13.45 MB/s 11.97 MB/s (-10.99%) 16 25.36 MB/s 27.15 MB/s 24.16 MB/s (-11.01%) 32 48.22 MB/s 54.24 MB/s 49.41 MB/s (-8.89%) 64 106.79 MB/s 107.32 MB/s 99.05 MB/s (-7.71%) 128 210.21 MB/s 202.46 MB/s 201.02 MB/s (-0.71%) 256 400.81 MB/s 416.81 MB/s 393.52 MB/s (-5.59%) 512 746.49 MB/s 834.12 MB/s 809.99 MB/s (-2.89%) 1024 1292.33 MB/s 1641.96 MB/s 1571.82 MB/s (-4.27%) 2048 2007.64 MB/s 2760.44 MB/s 2717.68 MB/s (-1.55%) 4096 2665.17 MB/s 4157.44 MB/s 4070.76 MB/s (-2.09%) 8192 3159.72 MB/s 4361.57 MB/s 4270.65 MB/s (-2.08%) 16384 4186.70 MB/s 4574.13 MB/s 4501.17 MB/s (-1.60%) 32768 4093.21 MB/s 4487.42 MB/s 4322.43 MB/s (-3.68%) 65536 4057.14 MB/s 4735.61 MB/s 4555.17 MB/s (-3.81%) 2) regression in buffer initialization and destruction path, which is brought by additional MR operations of sndbufs. But thanks to link group buffer reuse mechanism, the impact of this kind of regression decreases as times of buffer reuse increases. Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, latency of some key SMC-R buffer-related function obtained by bpftrace are as follows: Function Phys-bufs Virt-bufs smcr_new_buf_create() 67154 ns 79164 ns smc_ib_buf_map_sg() 525 ns 928 ns smc_ib_get_memory_region() 162294 ns 161191 ns smc_wr_reg_send() 9957 ns 9635 ns smc_ib_put_memory_region() 203548 ns 198374 ns smc_ib_buf_unmap_sg() 508 ns 1158 ns ------------ Test environment notes: 1. Above tests run on 2 VMs within the same Host. 2. The NIC is ConnectX-4Lx, using SRIOV and passing through 2 VFs to the each VM respectively. 3. VMs' vCPUs are binded to different physical CPUs, and the binded physical CPUs are isolated by `isolcpus=xxx` cmdline. 4. NICs' queue number are set to 1.
