      rps: cleanups · e36fa2f7
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      struct softnet_data holds many queues, so consistent use "sd" name
      instead of "queue" is better.
      
      Adds a rps_ipi_queued() helper to cleanup enqueue_to_backlog()
      
      Adds a _and_irq_disable suffix to net_rps_action() name, as David
      suggested.
      
      incr_input_queue_head() becomes input_queue_head_incr()

      rps: shortcut net_rps_action() · 88751275
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      net_rps_action() is a bit expensive on NR_CPUS=64..4096 kernels, even if
      RPS is not active.
      
      Tom Herbert used two bitmasks to hold information needed to send IPI,
      but a single LIFO list seems more appropriate.
      
      Move all RPS logic into net_rps_action() to cleanup net_rx_action() code
      (remove two ifdefs)
      
      Move rps_remote_softirq_cpus into softnet_data to share its first cache
      line, filling an existing hole.
      
      In a future patch, we could call net_rps_action() from process_backlog()
      to make sure we send IPI before handling this cpu backlog.

      rfs: Receive Flow Steering · fec5e652
      Tom Herbert 提交于
      This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS).  RFS steers
      received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where
      the application for the corresponding flow is running.  RFS is an
      extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS).
      
      The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg
      (or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash
      table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in
      the socket structure.  The rxhash is passed in skb's received on
      the connection from netif_receive_skb.  For each received packet,
      the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table,
      if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using
      the RPS mechanisms.
      
      The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially
      allow OOO packets.  If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple
      threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing
      CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets--
      we consider this a non-starter.
      
      To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash
      tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table.
      
      rps_sock_table is a global hash table.  Each entry is just a CPU
      number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above.
      This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows.
      
      rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue.  Each entry
      contains a CPU and a tail queue counter.  The CPU is the "current"
      CPU for a matching flow.  The tail queue counter holds the value
      of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at
      the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry.
      
      Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented
      on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head
      count + queue length.  When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue,
      the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash
      entry of the rps_dev_flow_table.
      
      And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu)
      the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue
      are consulted.  When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the
      rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the
      rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU
      if one of the following is true:
      
      - The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU)
      - Current CPU is offline
      - The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the
      rps_dev_flow table.  This checks if the queue tail has advanced
      beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry.
      This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been
      dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery.
      
      Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages:
      1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so
      keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality.  2)
      this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue
      tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion
      from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from
      device napi_poll which is non-reentrant.
      
      This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets.
      It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols.
      
      There are two configuration parameters for RFS.  The
      "rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of
      entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry
      "rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow
      table for the rxqueue.  Both are rounded to power of two.
      
      The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves
      CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the
      applications processing; this can result in increased performance
      (higher pps, lower latency).
      
      The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application
      load, and other factors.  On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily
      see improvement and sometimes see degradation.  However, for more
      complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is
      much higher this technique seems to perform very well.
      
      Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
      this patch.  The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR
      test with 1 byte req. and resp.  The RPC test is an request/response
      test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on
      each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf.
