[PATCH RFC v4 net-next 0/5] virtio_net: enabling tx interrupts
Hello: We used to orphan packets before transmission for virtio-net. This breaks socket accounting and can lead serveral functions won't work, e.g: - Byte Queue Limit depends on tx completion nofication to work. - Packet Generator depends on tx completion nofication for the last transmitted packet to complete. - TCP Small Queue depends on proper accounting of sk_wmem_alloc to work. This series tries to solve the issue by enabling tx interrupts. To minize the performance impacts of this, several optimizations were used: - In guest side, virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() was used to delay the tx interrupt untile 3/4 pending packets were sent. - In host side, interrupt coalescing were used to reduce tx interrupts. Performance test results[1] (tx-frames 16 tx-usecs 16) shows: - For guest receiving. No obvious regression on throughput were noticed. More cpu utilization were noticed in few cases. - For guest transmission. Very huge improvement on througput for small packet transmission were noticed. This is expected since TSQ and other optimization for small packet transmission work after tx interrupt. But will use more cpu for large packets. - For TCP_RR, regression (10% on transaction rate and cpu utilization) were found. Tx interrupt won't help but cause overhead in this case. Using more aggressive coalescing parameters may help to reduce the regression. Changes from RFC V3: - Don't free tx packets in ndo_start_xmit() - Add interrupt coalescing support for virtio-net Changes from RFC v2: - clean up code, address issues raised by Jason Changes from RFC v1: - address comments by Jason Wang, use delayed cb everywhere - rebased Jason's patch on top of mine and include it (with some tweaks) Please reivew. Comments were more than welcomed. [1] Performance Test result: Environment: - Two Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz machines connected back to back with 82599ES cards. - Both host and guest were net-next.git plus the patch - Coalescing parameters for the card: Adaptive RX: off TX: off rx-usecs: 1 rx-frames: 0 tx-usecs: 0 tx-frames: 0 - Vhost_net was enabled and zerocopy was disabled - Tests was done by netperf-2.6 - Guest has 2 vcpus with single queue virtio-net Results: - Numbers of square brackets are whose significance is grater than 95% Guest RX: size/sessions/+throughput/+cpu/+per_cpu_throughput/ 64/1/+2.0326/[+6.2807%]/-3.9970%/ 64/2/-0.2104%/[+3.2012%]/[-3.3058%]/ 64/4/+1.5956%/+2.2451%/-0.6353%/ 64/8/+1.1732%/+3.5123%/-2.2598%/ 256/1/+3.7619%/[+5.8117%]/-1.9372%/ 256/2/-0.0661%/[+3.2511%]/-3.2127%/ 256/4/+1.1435%/[-8.1842%]/[+10.1591%]/ 256/8/[+2.2447%]/[+6.2044%]/[-3.7283%]/ 1024/1/+9.1479%/[+12.0997%]/[-2.6332%]/ 1024/2/[-17.3341%]/[+0.0000%]/[-17.3341%]/ 1024/4/[-0.6284%]/-1.0376%/+0.4135%/ 1024/8/+1.1444%/-1.6069%/+2.7961%/ 4096/1/+0.0401%/-0.5993%/+0.6433%/ 4096/2/[-0.5894%]/-2.2071%/+1.6542%/ 4096/4/[-0.5560%]/-1.4969%/+0.9553%/ 4096/8/-0.3362%/+2.7086%/-2.9645%/ 16384/1/-0.0285%/+0.7247%/-0.7478%/ 16384/2/-0.5286%/+0.3287%/-0.8545%/ 16384/4/-0.3297%/-2.0543%/+1.7608%/ 16384/8/+1.0932%/+4.0253%/-2.8187%/ 65535/1/+0.0003%/-0.1502%/+0.1508%/ 65535/2/[-0.6065%]/+0.2309%/-0.8355%/ 65535/4/[-0.6861%]/[+3.9451%]/[-4.4554%]/ 65535/8/+1.8359%/+3.1590%/-1.2825%/ Guest RX: size/sessions/+throughput/+cpu/+per_cpu_throughput/ 64/1/[+65.0961%]/[-8.6807%]/[+80.7900%]/ 64/2/[+6.0288%]/[-2.2823%]/[+8.5052%]/ 64/4/[+5.9038%]/[-2.1834%]/[+8.2677%]/ 64/8/[+5.4154%]/[-2.1804%]/[+7.7651%]/ 256/1/[+184.6462%]/[+4.8906%]/[+171.3742%]/ 256/2/[+46.0731%]/[-8.9626%]/[+60.4539%]/ 256/4/[+45.8547%]/[-8.3027%]/[+59.0612%]/ 256/8/[+45.3486%]/[-8.4024%]/[+58.6817%]/ 1024/1/[+432.5372%]/[+3.9566%]/[+412.2689%]/ 1024/2/[-1.4207%]/[-23.6426%]/[+29.1025%]/ 1024/4/-0.1003%/[-13.6416%]/[+15.6804%]/ 1024/8/[+0.2200%]/[+2.0634%]/[-1.8061%]/ 4096/1/[+18.4835%]/[-46.1508%]/[+120.0283%]/ 4096/2/+0.1770%/[-26.2780%]/[+35.8848%]/ 4096/4/-0.1012%/-0.7353%/+0.6388%/ 4096/8/-0.6091%/+1.4159%/-1.9968%/ 16384/1/-0.0424%/[+11.9373%]/[-10.7021%]/ 16384/2/+0.0482%/+2.4685%/-2.3620%/ 16384/4/+0.0840%/[+5.3587%]/[-5.0064%]/ 16384/8/+0.0048%/[+5.0176%]/[-4.7733%]/ 65535/1/-0.0095%/[+10.9408%]/[-9.8705%]/ 65535/2/+0.1515%/[+8.1709%]/[-7.4137%]/ 65535/4/+0.0203%/[+5.4316%]/[-5.1325%]/ 65535/8/+0.1427%/[+6.2753%]/[-5.7705%]/ size/sessions/+trans.rate/+cpu/+per_cpu_trans.rate/ 64/1/+0.2346%/[+11.5080%]/[-10.1099%]/ 64/25/[-10.7893%]/-0.5791%/[-10.2697%]/ 64/50/[-11.5997%]/-0.3429%/[-11.2956%]/ 256/1/+0.7219%/[+13.2374%]/[-11.0524%]/ 256/25/-6.9567%/+0.8887%/[-7.7763%]/ 256/50/[-4.8814%]/-0.0338%/[-4.8492%]/ 4096/1/-1.6061%/-0.7561%/-0.8565%/ 4096/25/[+2.2120%]/[+1.0839%]/+1.1161%/ 4096/50/[+5.6180%]/[+3.2116%]/[+2.3315%]/ Jason Wang (4): virtio_net: enable tx interrupt virtio-net: optimize free_old_xmit_skbs stats virtio-net: add basic interrupt coalescing support vhost_net: interrupt coalescing support Michael S.

[PATCH RFC v4 net-next 1/5] virtio_net: enable tx interrupt
On newer hosts that support delayed tx interrupts,
we probably don't have much to gain from orphaning
packets early.
Note: this might degrade performance for
hosts without event idx support.
Should be addressed by the next patch.

[PATCH RFC v4 net-next 3/5] virtio-net: optimize free_old_xmit_skbs stats
We already have counters for sent packets and sent bytes.
Use them to reduce the number of u64_stats_update_begin/end().
Take care not to bother with stats update when called
speculatively.

[PATCH RFC v4 net-next 5/5] vhost_net: interrupt coalescing support
This patch implements interrupt coalescing support for vhost_net. And provides
ioctl()s for userspace to get and set coalescing parameters. Two kinds of
parameters were allowed to be set:
- max_coalesced_frames: which is the maximum numbers of packets were allowed
before issuing an irq.
- coalesced_usecs: which is the maximum number of micro seconds were allowed
before issuing an irq if at least one packet were pending.
A per virtqueue hrtimer were used for coalesced_usecs.

Using > more aggressive coalescing parameters may help to reduce the regression.OK, you do have posted coalescing patches - does it help any? I'm not sure the regression is due to interrupts. It would make sense for CPU but why would it hurt transaction rate? It's possible that we are deferring kicks too much due to BQL. As an experiment: do we get any of it back if we do - if (kick || netif_xmit_stopped(txq)) - virtqueue_kick(sq->vq); + virtqueue_kick(sq->vq); ? If yes, we can just kick e.g. periodically, e.g. after queueing each X bytes.> Changes from RFC V3: > - Don't free tx packets in ndo_start_xmit() > - Add interrupt coalescing support for virtio-net > Changes from RFC v2: > - clean up code, address issues raised by Jason > Changes from RFC v1: > - address comments by Jason Wang, use delayed cb everywhere > - rebased Jason's patch on top of mine and include it (with some tweaks) > > Please reivew.

For RX, it saves about 5% - 10% cpu. (reduce 60%-90% tx intrs) For small packet TX, it increases 33% - 245% throughput. (reduce about 60% inters) For TCP_RR, it increase the 3%-10% trans.rate.

I have done the same thing in ixgbe driver(free skb in ndo_start_xmit and both in tx_irq's poll func), and it seems work well:) I think there would be no so much interrupts in this way, also tx interrupt coalesce is not needed.> + virtqueue_disable_cb(sq->vq); > > /* Try to transmit */ > err = xmit_skb(sq, skb); > @@ -941,27 +981,19 @@ static netdev_tx_t start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev) > return NETDEV_TX_OK; > } > > - /* Don't wait up for transmitted skbs to be freed. */ > - skb_orphan(skb); > - nf_reset(skb); > - > /* Apparently nice girls don't return TX_BUSY; stop the queue > * before it gets out of hand.
