[PATCH net-next] vhost_net: do not stall on zerocopy depletion

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb at google.com>

Vhost-net has a hard limit on the number of zerocopy skbs in flight.
When reached, transmission stalls. Stalls cause latency, as well as
head-of-line blocking of other flows that do not use zerocopy.

Instead of stalling, revert to copy-based transmission.

Tested by sending two udp flows from guest to host, one with payload
of VHOST_GOODCOPY_LEN, the other too small for zerocopy (1B). The
large flow is redirected to a netem instance with 1MBps rate limit
and deep 1000 entry queue.

  modprobe ifb
  ip link set dev ifb0 up
  tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root netem limit 1000 rate 1MBit

  tc qdisc add dev tap0 ingress
  tc filter add dev tap0 parent ffff: protocol ip \
      u32 match ip dport 8000 0xffff \
      action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0

Before the delay, both flows process around 80K pps. With the delay,
before this patch, both process around 400. After this patch, the
large flow is still rate limited, while the small reverts to its
original rate. See also discussion in the first link, below.

The limit in vhost_exceeds_maxpend must be carefully chosen. When
vq->num >> 1, the flows remain correlated. This value happens to
correspond to VHOST_MAX_PENDING for vq->num == 256. Allow smaller
fractions and ensure correctness also for much smaller values of
vq->num, by testing the min() of both explicitly. See also the
discussion in the second link below.

>From the same discussion thread: it would be good to expose statson the number of zerocopy skb sent and number completed without
copy.

To test this patch, I also added ethtool stats to tun and extended them
with two zerocopy counters. Then had tun override the uarg->callback
with its own and update the counters before calling the original callback.

The one useful datapoint I did not get out of that is why skbs would
revert to non-zerocopy: because of size, vhost_exceeds_maxpend
or vhost_net_tx_select_zcopy. The simplistic implementation with an
extra indirect function call and without percpu counters is also not
suitable for submission as is.

Have you tested e.g vq->num = 512 or 1024?

I did test with 1024 previously, but let me run that again
with this patch applied.

I'd like to see the effect on the non rate limited case though.
If guest is quick won't we have lots of copies then?

Yes, but not significantly more than without this patch.

I ran 1, 10 and 100 flow tcp_stream throughput tests from a sender
in the guest to a receiver in the host.

To answer the other benchmark question first, I did not see anything
noteworthy when increasing vq->num from 256 to 1024.

With 1 and 10 flows without this patch all packets use zerocopy.
With the patch, less than 1% eschews zerocopy.

With 100 flows, even without this patch, 90+% of packets are copied.
Some zerocopy packets from vhost_net fail this test in tun.c

    if (iov_iter_npages(&i, INT_MAX) <= MAX_SKB_FRAGS)

Generating packets with up to 21 frags. I'm not sure yet why or
what the fraction of these packets is. But this in turn can
disable zcopy_used in vhost_net_tx_select_zcopy for a
larger share of packets:

        return !net->tx_flush &&
                net->tx_packets / 64 >= net->tx_zcopy_err;

Because the number of copied and zerocopy packets are the
same before and after the patch, so are the overall throughput
numbers.

BTW __CHECK_ENDIAN__ is the default now, I think you can drop it from
your scripts.
