Hi all: This series tries to add basic busy polling for vhost net. The idea is simple: at the end of tx/rx processing, busy polling for new tx added descriptor and rx receive socket for a while. The maximum number of time (in us) could be spent on busy polling was specified ioctl. Test A were done through: - 50 us as busy loop timeout - Netperf 2.6 - Two machines with back to back connected ixgbe - Guest with 1 vcpu and 1 queue Results: - For stream workload, ioexits were reduced dramatically in medium size (1024-2048) of tx (at most -43%) and almost all rx (at most -84%) as a result of polling. This compensate for the possible wasted cpu cycles more or less. That porbably why we can still see some increasing in the normalized throughput in some cases. - Throughput of tx were increased (at most 50%) expect for the huge write (16384). And we can send more packets in the case (+tpkts were increased). - Very minor rx regression in some cases. - Improvemnt on TCP_RR (at most 17%).

This patch tries to poll for new added tx buffer or socket receive
queue for a while at the end of tx/rx processing. The maximum time
spent on polling were specified through a new kind of vring ioctl.

Nasty. So it should return something that breaks the loop, and this means it should have a different name for the return code to make sense. Maybe reverse the polarity: vhost_vq_avail_empty?

First, this will reduce the good path overhead as you won't have to play with timers and preemption. Second, this will reduce the chance of a pagefault on avail ring read.> + > + return vhost_get_vq_desc(vq, vq->iov, ARRAY_SIZE(vq->iov), > + out_num, in_num, NULL, NULL); > +} > + > /* Expects to be always run from workqueue - which acts as > * read-size critical section for our kind of RCU. */ > static void handle_tx(struct vhost_net *net) > @@ -331,10 +366,9 @@ static void handle_tx(struct vhost_net *net) > % UIO_MAXIOV == nvq->done_idx)) > break; > > - head = vhost_get_vq_desc(vq, vq->iov, > - ARRAY_SIZE(vq->iov), > - &out, &in, > - NULL, NULL); > + head = vhost_net_tx_get_vq_desc(net, vq, vq->iov, > + ARRAY_SIZE(vq->iov), > + &out, &in); > /* On error, stop handling until the next kick. */ > if (unlikely(head < 0)) > break; > @@ -435,6 +469,34 @@ static int peek_head_len(struct sock *sk) > return len; > } > > +static int vhost_net_peek_head_len(struct vhost_net *net, struct sock *sk)Need a hint that it's rx related in the name.> +{ > + struct vhost_net_virtqueue *nvq = &net->vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_TX]; > + struct vhost_virtqueue *vq = &nvq->vq; > + unsigned long uninitialized_var(endtime); > + > + if (vq->busyloop_timeout) { > + mutex_lock(&vq->mutex);This appears to be called under vq mutex in handle_rx.

RX queue is normally not empty. I don't think we need to poll for that. So IMHO we only need to poll for sk_receive_queue really.> + > + preempt_enable(); > + > + if (vhost_enable_notify(&net->dev, vq)) > + vhost_poll_queue(&vq->poll);But vhost_enable_notify returns true on queue not empty.
