With FRWR, the client transport can perform memory registration and post a Send with just a single ib_post_send. This reduces contention between the send_request path and the Send Completion handlers, and reduces the overhead of registering a chunk that has multiple segments.

With v4.15, on one of my NFS/RDMA clients I measured a nearly doubling in the latency of small read and write system calls. There was no change in server round trip time. The extra latency appears in the whole RPC execution path. "git bisect" settled on commit ccede759 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over more CPUs") . After some experimentation, I found that leaving the WQ bound and allowing the scheduler to pick the dispatch CPU seems to eliminate the long latencies, and it does not introduce any new regressions. The fix is implemented by reverting only the part of commit ccede759 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over more CPUs") that dispatches RPC replies specifically on the CPU where the matching RPC call was made. Interestingly, saving the CPU number and later queuing reply processing there was effective _only_ for a NFS READ and WRITE request. On my NUMA client, in-kernel RPC reply processing for asynchronous RPCs was dispatched on the same CPU where the RPC call was made, as expected. However synchronous RPCs seem to get their reply dispatched on some other CPU than where the call was placed, every time. Fixes: ccede759 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over ...

Clean up: struct rpcrdma_mw was named after Memory Windows, but xprtrdma no longer supports a Memory Window registration mode. Rename rpcrdma_mw and its fields to reduce confusion and make the code more sensible to read. Renaming "mw" was suggested by Tom Talpey, the author of the original xprtrdma implementation. It's a good idea, but I haven't done this until now because it's a huge diffstat for no benefit other than code readability. However, I'm about to introduce static trace points that expose a few of xprtrdma's internal data structures. They should make sense in the trace report, and it's reasonable to treat trace points as a kernel API contract which might be difficult to change later. While I'm churning things up, two additional changes: - rename variables unhelpfully called "r" to "mr", to improve code clarity, and - rename the MR-related helper functions using the form "rpcrdma_mr_<verb>", to be consistent with other areas of the code.

The backchannel code uses rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put to add new reps to the free rep list. This also decrements rb_recv_count, which spoofs the receive overrun logic in rpcrdma_buffer_get_rep. Commit 9b06688b ("xprtrdma: Fix additional uses of spin_lock_irqsave(rb_lock)") replaced the original open-coded list_add with a call to rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put(), but then a year later, commit 05c97466 ("xprtrdma: Fix receive buffer accounting") added rep accounting to rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put. It was an oversight to let the backchannel continue to use this function. The fix this, let's combine the "add to free list" logic with rpcrdma_create_rep. Also, do not allocate RPCRDMA_MAX_BC_REQUESTS rpcrdma_reps in rpcrdma_buffer_create and then allocate additional rpcrdma_reps in rpcrdma_bc_setup_reps. Allocating the extra reps during backchannel set-up is sufficient.

Commit d8f532d2 ("xprtrdma: Invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler directly from RECV completion") introduced a performance regression for NFS I/O small enough to not need memory registration. In multi- threaded benchmarks that generate primarily small I/O requests, IOPS throughput is reduced by nearly a third. This patch restores the previous level of throughput. Because workqueues are typically BOUND (in particular ib_comp_wq, nfsiod_workqueue, and rpciod_workqueue), NFS/RDMA workloads tend to aggregate on the CPU that is handling Receive completions. The usual approach to addressing this problem is to create a QP and CQ for each CPU, and then schedule transactions on the QP for the CPU where you want the transaction to complete. The transaction then does not require an extra context switch during completion to end up on the same CPU where the transaction was started. This approach doesn't work for the Linux NFS/RDMA client because currently the Linux NFS client does not support multiple connections per client-server pair, and the RDMA core API does not make it straightforward for ULPs to determine which CPU is responsible for handling Receive completions for a CQ. So for the moment, record the CPU number in the rpcrdma_req before the transport sends each RPC Call. Then during Receive completion, queue the RPC completion on that same CPU. Additionally, move all RPC completion processing to the deferred handler so that even RPCs with simple small replies complete on the CPU that sent the corresponding RPC Call.

When an RPC Call includes a file data payload, that payload can come from pages in the page cache, or a user buffer (for direct I/O). If the payload can fit inline, xprtrdma includes it in the Send using a scatter-gather technique. xprtrdma mustn't allow the RPC consumer to re-use the memory where that payload resides before the Send completes. Otherwise, the new contents of that memory would be exposed by an HCA retransmit of the Send operation. So, block RPC completion on Send completion, but only in the case where a separate file data payload is part of the Send. This prevents the reuse of that memory while it is still part of a Send operation without an undue cost to other cases. Waiting is avoided in the common case because typically the Send will have completed long before the RPC Reply arrives. These days, an RPC timeout will trigger a disconnect, which tears down the QP. The disconnect flushes all waiting Sends. This bounds the amount of time the reply handler has to wait for a Send completion.

Problem statement: Recently Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> observed that kernel RDMA- enabled storage initiators don't handle delayed Send completion correctly. If Send completion is delayed beyond the end of a ULP transaction, the ULP may release resources that are still being used by the HCA to complete a long-running Send operation. This is a common design trait amongst our initiators. Most Send operations are faster than the ULP transaction they are part of. Waiting for a completion for these is typically unnecessary. Infrequently, a network partition or some other problem crops up where an ordering problem can occur. In NFS parlance, the RPC Reply arrives and completes the RPC, but the HCA is still retrying the Send WR that conveyed the RPC Call. In this case, the HCA can try to use memory that has been invalidated or DMA unmapped, and the connection is lost. If that memory has been re-used for something else (possibly not related to NFS), and the Send retransmission exposes that data on the wire. Thus we cannot assume that it is safe to release Send-related resources just because a ULP reply has arrived. After some analysis, we have determined that the completion housekeeping will not be difficult for xprtrdma: - Inline Send buffers are registered via the local DMA key, and are already left DMA mapped for the lifetime of a transport connection, thus no additional handling is necessary for those - Gathered Sends involving page cache pages _will_ need to DMA unmap those pages after the Send completes. But like inline send buffers, they are registered via the local DMA key, and thus will not need to be invalidated In addition, RPC completion will need to wait for Send completion in the latter case. However, nearly always, the Send that conveys the RPC Call will have completed long before the RPC Reply arrives, and thus no additional latency will be accrued. Design notes: In this patch, the rpcrdma_sendctx object is introduced, and a lock-free circular queue is added to manage a set of them per transport. The RPC client's send path already prevents sending more than one RPC Call at the same time. This allows us to treat the consumer side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked) as if there is a single consumer thread. The producer side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked) is invoked only from the Send completion handler, which is a single thread of execution (soft IRQ). The only care that needs to be taken is with the tail index, which is shared between the producer and consumer. Only the producer updates the tail index. The consumer compares the head with the tail to ensure that the a sendctx that is in use is never handed out again (or, expressed more conventionally, the queue is empty). When the sendctx queue empties completely, there are enough Sends outstanding that posting more Send operations can result in a Send Queue overflow. In this case, the ULP is told to wait and try again. This introduces strong Send Queue accounting to xprtrdma. As a final touch, Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com> suggested a mechanism that does not require signaling every Send. We signal once every N Sends, and perform SGE unmapping of N Send operations during that one completion.

I noticed that the soft IRQ thread looked pretty busy under heavy I/O workloads. perf suggested one area that was expensive was the queue_work() call in rpcrdma_wc_receive. That gave me some ideas. Instead of scheduling a separate worker to process RPC Replies, promote the Receive completion handler to IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE, and invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler directly. Note that the poll workqueue is single-threaded. In order to keep memory invalidation from serializing all RPC Replies, handle any necessary invalidation tasks in a separate multi-threaded workqueue. This provides a two-tier scheme, similar to OS I/O interrupt handlers: A fast interrupt handler that schedules the slow handler and re-enables the interrupt, and a slower handler that is invoked for any needed heavy lifting. Benefits include: - One less context switch for RPCs that don't register memory - Receive completion handling is moved out of soft IRQ context to make room for other users of soft IRQ - The same CPU core now DMA syncs and XDR decodes the Receive buffer Signed-off-by: NChuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NAnna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>

Adopt the use of xprt_pin_rqst to eliminate contention between Call-side users of rb_lock and the use of rb_lock in rpcrdma_reply_handler. This replaces the mechanism introduced in 431af645 ("xprtrdma: Fix client lock-up after application signal fires"). Use recv_lock to quickly find the completing rqst, pin it, then drop the lock. At that point invalidation and pull-up of the Reply XDR can be done. Both are often expensive operations. Finally, take recv_lock again to signal completion to the RPC layer. It also protects adjustment of "cwnd". This greatly reduces the amount of time a lock is held by the reply handler. Comparing lock_stat results shows a marked decrease in contention on rb_lock and recv_lock.

After a signal, the RPC client aborts synchronous RPCs running on behalf of the signaled application. The server is still executing those RPCs, and will write the results back into the client's memory when it's done. By the time the server writes the results, that memory is likely being used for other purposes. Therefore xprtrdma has to immediately invalidate all memory regions used by those aborted RPCs to prevent the server's writes from clobbering that re-used memory. With FMR memory registration, invalidation takes a relatively long time. In fact, the invalidation is often still running when the server tries to write the results into the memory regions that are being invalidated. This sets up a race between two processes: 1. After the signal, xprt_rdma_free calls ro_unmap_safe. 2. While ro_unmap_safe is still running, the server replies and rpcrdma_reply_handler runs, calling ro_unmap_sync. Both processes invoke ib_unmap_fmr on the same FMR. The mlx4 driver allows two ib_unmap_fmr calls on the same FMR at the same time, but HCAs generally don't tolerate this. Sometimes this can result in a system crash. If the HCA happens to survive, rpcrdma_reply_handler continues. It removes the rpc_rqst from rq_list and releases the transport_lock. This enables xprt_rdma_free to run in another process, and the rpc_rqst is released while rpcrdma_reply_handler is still waiting for the ib_unmap_fmr call to finish. But further down in rpcrdma_reply_handler, the transport_lock is taken again, and "rqst" is dereferenced. If "rqst" has already been released, this triggers a general protection fault. Since bottom- halves are disabled, the system locks up. Address both issues by reversing the order of the xprt_lookup_rqst call and the ro_unmap_sync call. Introduce a separate lookup mechanism for rpcrdma_req's to enable calling ro_unmap_sync before xprt_lookup_rqst. Now the handler takes the transport_lock once and holds it for the XID lookup and RPC completion.
