Linux Virtualization - Jul 2018 - [PATCH net-next v3 3/4] net: vhost: factor out busy polling logic to vhost_net_busy_poll()

From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue at gmail.com>

This patches improve the guest receive and transmit performance.
On the handle_tx side, we poll the sock receive queue at the same time.
handle_rx do that in the same way.

This patches are splited from previous big patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/934673/

For more performance report, see patch 4.

Tonghao Zhang (4):
  net: vhost: lock the vqs one by one
  net: vhost: replace magic number of lock annotation
  net: vhost: factor out busy polling logic to vhost_net_busy_poll()
  net: vhost: add rx busy polling in tx path

This patch changes the way that lock all vqs
at the same, to lock them one by one. It will
be used for next patch to avoid the deadlock.

Factor out generic busy polling logic and will be
used for tx path in the next patch. And with the patch,
qemu can set differently the busyloop_timeout for rx queue.

1.8.3.1

From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue at gmail.com>

This patch improves the guest receive and transmit performance.
On the handle_tx side, we poll the sock receive queue at the
same time. handle_rx do that in the same way.

We set the poll-us=100us and use the iperf3 to test
its bandwidth, use the netperf to test throughput and mean
latency. When running the tests, the vhost-net kthread of
that VM, is alway 100% CPU. The commands are shown as below.

iperf3  -s -D
iperf3  -c IP -i 1 -P 1 -t 20 -M 1400

or
netserver
netperf -H IP -t TCP_RR -l 20 -- -O "THROUGHPUT,MEAN_LATENCY"

host -> guest:
iperf3:
* With the patch:     27.0 Gbits/sec
* Without the patch:  14.4 Gbits/sec

netperf (TCP_RR):
* With the patch:     48039.56 trans/s, 20.64us mean latency
* Without the patch:  46027.07 trans/s, 21.58us mean latency

This patch also improves the guest transmit performance.

guest -> host:
iperf3:
* With the patch:     27.2 Gbits/sec
* Without the patch:  24.4 Gbits/sec

netperf (TCP_RR):
* With the patch:     47963.25 trans/s, 20.71us mean latency
* Without the patch:  45796.70 trans/s, 21.68us mean latency

Where/how do you configure poll-us=100us ?

Are you talking about /proc/sys/net/core/busy_poll ?


p.s. Nice performance boost! :-)

As simple as vq->busyloop_timeout?

We need move sock = rvq->private_data under the protection of vq mutex 
if rx is false.

It looks to me rnvq and tnvq is slightly better.

Other looks good to me.

Looks good to me.

A nit is "rnvq" looks better.
