      xprtrdma: Support for SG_GAP devices · 5e9fc6a0
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Some devices (such as the Mellanox CX-4) can register, under a
      single R_key, a set of memory regions that are not contiguous. When
      this is done, all the segments in a Reply list, say, can then be
      invalidated in a single LocalInv Work Request (or via Remote
      Invalidation, which can invalidate exactly one R_key when completing
      a Receive).
      
      This means a single FastReg WR is used to register, and one or zero
      LocalInv WRs can invalidate, the memory involved with RDMA transfers
      on behalf of an RPC.
      
      In addition, xprtrdma constructs some Reply chunks from three or
      more segments. By registering them with SG_GAP, only one segment
      is needed for the Reply chunk, allowing the whole chunk to be
      invalidated remotely.

      xprtrdma: Make FRWR send queue entry accounting more accurate · 8d38de65
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Verbs providers may perform house-keeping on the Send Queue during
      each signaled send completion. It is necessary therefore for a verbs
      consumer (like xprtrdma) to occasionally force a signaled send
      completion if it runs unsignaled most of the time.
      
      xprtrdma does not require signaled completions for Send or FastReg
      Work Requests, but does signal some LocalInv Work Requests. To
      ensure that Send Queue house-keeping can run before the Send Queue
      is more than half-consumed, xprtrdma forces a signaled completion
      on occasion by counting the number of Send Queue Entries it
      consumes. It currently does this by counting each ib_post_send as
      one Entry.
      
      Commit c9918ff5 ("xprtrdma: Add ro_unmap_sync method for FRWR")
      introduced the ability for frwr_op_unmap_sync to post more than one
      Work Request with a single post_send. Thus the underlying assumption
      of one Send Queue Entry per ib_post_send is no longer true.
      
      Also, FastReg Work Requests are currently never signaled. They
      should be signaled once in a while, just as Send is, to keep the
      accounting of consumed SQEs accurate.
      
      While we're here, convert the CQCOUNT macros to the currently
      preferred kernel coding style, which is inline functions.

      xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline messages · 655fec69
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      An RPC Call message that is sent inline but that has a data payload
      (ie, one or more items in rq_snd_buf's page list) must be "pulled
      up:"
      
      - call_allocate has to reserve enough RPC Call buffer space to
      accommodate the data payload
      
      - call_transmit has to memcopy the rq_snd_buf's page list and tail
      into its head iovec before it is sent
      
      As the inline threshold is increased beyond its current 1KB default,
      however, this means data payloads of more than a few KB are copied
      by the host CPU. For example, if the inline threshold is increased
      just to 4KB, then NFS WRITE requests up to 4KB would involve a
      memcpy of the NFS WRITE's payload data into the RPC Call buffer.
      This is an undesirable amount of participation by the host CPU.
      
      The inline threshold may be much larger than 4KB in the future,
      after negotiation with a peer server.
      
      Instead of copying the components of rq_snd_buf into its head iovec,
      construct a gather list of these components, and send them all in
      place. The same approach is already used in the Linux server's
      RPC-over-RDMA reply path.
      
      This mechanism also eliminates the need for rpcrdma_tail_pullup,
      which is used to manage the XDR pad and trailing inline content when
      a Read list is present.
      
      This requires that the pages in rq_snd_buf's page list be DMA-mapped
      during marshaling, and unmapped when a data-bearing RPC is
      completed. This is slightly less efficient for very small I/O
      payloads, but significantly more efficient as data payload size and
      inline threshold increase past a kilobyte.

      xprtrdma: Delay DMA mapping Send and Receive buffers · 54cbd6b0
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Currently, each regbuf is allocated and DMA mapped at the same time.
      This is done during transport creation.
      
      When a device driver is unloaded, every DMA-mapped buffer in use by
      a transport has to be unmapped, and then remapped to the new
      device if the driver is loaded again. Remapping will have to be done
      _after_ the connect worker has set up the new device.
      
      But there's an ordering problem:
      
      call_allocate, which invokes xprt_rdma_allocate which calls
      rpcrdma_alloc_regbuf to allocate Send buffers, happens _before_
      the connect worker can run to set up the new device.
      
      Instead, at transport creation, allocate each buffer, but leave it
      unmapped. Once the RPC carries these buffers into ->send_request, by
      which time a transport connection should have been established,
      check to see that the RPC's buffers have been DMA mapped. If not,
      map them there.
      
      When device driver unplug support is added, it will simply unmap all
      the transport's regbufs, but it doesn't have to deallocate the
      underlying memory.

      xprtrdma: Replace DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL · 99ef4db3
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      The use of DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL is discouraged by DMA-API.txt.
      Fortunately, xprtrdma now knows which direction I/O is going as
      soon as it allocates each regbuf.
      
      The RPC Call and Reply buffers are no longer the same regbuf. They
      can each be labeled correctly now. The RPC Reply buffer is never
      part of either a Send or Receive WR, but it can be part of Reply
      chunk, which is mapped and registered via ->ro_map . So it is not
      DMA mapped when it is allocated (DMA_NONE), to avoid a double-
      mapping.
      
      Since Receive buffers are no longer DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL and their
      contents are never modified by the host CPU, DMA-API-HOWTO.txt
      suggests that a DMA sync before posting each buffer should be
      unnecessary. (See my_card_interrupt_handler).

      xprtrdma: Initialize separate RPC call and reply buffers · 9c40c49f
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      RPC-over-RDMA needs to separate its RPC call and reply buffers.
      
       o When an RPC Call is sent, rq_snd_buf is DMA mapped for an RDMA
         Send operation using DMA_TO_DEVICE
      
       o If the client expects a large RPC reply, it DMA maps rq_rcv_buf
         as part of a Reply chunk using DMA_FROM_DEVICE
      
      The two mappings are for data movement in opposite directions.
      
      DMA-API.txt suggests that if these mappings share a DMA cacheline,
      bad things can happen. This could occur in the final bytes of
      rq_snd_buf and the first bytes of rq_rcv_buf if the two buffers
      happen to share a DMA cacheline.
      
      On x86_64 the cacheline size is typically 8 bytes, and RPC call
      messages are usually much smaller than the send buffer, so this
      hasn't been a noticeable problem. But the DMA cacheline size can be
      larger on other platforms.
      
      Also, often rq_rcv_buf starts most of the way into a page, thus
      an additional RDMA segment is needed to map and register the end of
      that buffer. Try to avoid that scenario to reduce the cost of
      registering and invalidating Reply chunks.
      
      Instead of carrying a single regbuf that covers both rq_snd_buf and
      rq_rcv_buf, each struct rpcrdma_req now carries one regbuf for
      rq_snd_buf and one regbuf for rq_rcv_buf.
      
      Some incidental changes worth noting:
      
      - To clear out some spaghetti, refactor xprt_rdma_allocate.
      - The value stored in rg_size is the same as the value stored in
        the iov.length field, so eliminate rg_size

      SUNRPC: Add a transport-specific private field in rpc_rqst · 5a6d1db4
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Currently there's a hidden and indirect mechanism for finding the
      rpcrdma_req that goes with an rpc_rqst. It depends on getting from
      the rq_buffer pointer in struct rpc_rqst to the struct
      rpcrdma_regbuf that controls that buffer, and then to the struct
      rpcrdma_req it goes with.
      
      This was done back in the day to avoid the need to add a per-rqst
      pointer or to alter the buf_free API when support for RPC-over-RDMA
      was introduced.
      
      I'm about to change the way regbuf's work to support larger inline
      thresholds. Now is a good time to replace this indirect mechanism
      with something that is more straightforward. I guess this should be
      considered a clean up.

      SUNRPC: Generalize the RPC buffer release API · 3435c74a
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      xprtrdma needs to allocate the Call and Reply buffers separately.
      TBH, the reliance on using a single buffer for the pair of XDR
      buffers is transport implementation-specific.
      
      Instead of passing just the rq_buffer into the buf_free method, pass
      the task structure and let buf_free take care of freeing both
      XDR buffers at once.
      
      There's a micro-optimization here. In the common case, both
      xprt_release and the transport's buf_free method were checking if
      rq_buffer was NULL. Now the check is done only once per RPC.

      xprtrdma: Fix receive buffer accounting · 05c97466
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      An RPC can terminate before its reply arrives, if a credential
      problem or a soft timeout occurs. After this happens, xprtrdma
      reports it is out of Receive buffers.
      
      A Receive buffer is posted before each RPC is sent, and returned to
      the buffer pool when a reply is received. If no reply is received
      for an RPC, that Receive buffer remains posted. But xprtrdma tries
      to post another when the next RPC is sent.
      
      If this happens a few dozen times, there are no receive buffers left
      to be posted at send time. I don't see a way for a transport
      connection to recover at that point, and it will spit warnings and
      unnecessarily delay RPCs on occasion for its remaining lifetime.
      
      Commit 1e465fd4 ("xprtrdma: Replace send and receive arrays")
      removed a little bit of logic to detect this case and not provide
      a Receive buffer so no more buffers are posted, and then transport
      operation continues correctly. We didn't understand what that logic
      did, and it wasn't commented, so it was removed as part of the
      overhaul to support backchannel requests.
      
      Restore it, but be wary of the need to keep extra Receives posted
      to deal with backchannel requests.
