[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 0/6] enable tx interrupts for virtio-net

Hi:

This is a new version of trying to enable tx interrupts for
virtio-net.

We used to try to avoid tx interrupts and orphan packets before
transmission for virtio-net. This breaks socket accounting and can
lead serveral other side effects e.g:

- Several other functions which depends on socket accounting can not
  work  correctly (e.g  TCP Small Queue)
- No tx completion which make BQL or packet generator can not work
  correctly.

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, try to use delayed callbacks as much as possible.
- In host side, try to use interrupt coalescing for reduce tx
  interrupts. About 10% - 15% performance were improved with this.

Perforamnce test shows:
- Very few regression (less than 5%) were noticed TCP_RR on 1 vcpu 1
  queue guest.
- CPU utilization is increased in some cases.
- All other cases, tx interrupts can perform equal or better than
  orphaning (much more obvious when testing small packet transmission
  as a byproduct since socket accounting works for TCP packet).

Changes from RFCv4:
- fix the virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() return value when only 1
  buffer is pending.
- try to disable callbacks by publish event index in
  virtqueue_disable_cb(). Tests shows about 2% - 3% improvement on
  multiple sessions of TCP_RR.
- Revert some of Micahel's tweaks from RFC v1 (see patch 3 for
  details).
- use netif_wake_subqueue() instead of netif_start_subqueue() in
  free_old_xmit_skbs(), since it may be called in tx napi.
- in start_xmit(), try to enable the callback only when current skb is
  the last in the list or tx has already been stopped. This avoid the
  callbacks enabling in heavy load.
- return ns instead of us in vhost_net_check_coalesce_and_signal()
- measure the time interval of real interrupts instead of calls to
  vhost_signal()
- drop bql from the series since it does not affact performance from
  the test result.
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)

[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 1/6] virtio_ring: fix virtqueue_enable_cb() when only 1 buffers were pending

We currently does:

bufs = (avail->idx - last_used_idx) * 3 / 4;

This is ok now since we only try to enable the delayed callbacks when
the queue is about to be full. This may not work well when there is
only one pending buffer in the virtqueue (this may be the case after
tx interrupt was enabled). Since virtqueue_enable_cb() will return
false which may cause unnecessary triggering of napis. This patch
correct this by only calculate the four thirds when bufs is not one.

[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 2/6] virtio_ring: try to disable event index callbacks in virtqueue_disable_cb()

Currently, we do nothing to prevent the callbacks in
virtqueue_disable_cb() when event index is used. This may cause
spurious interrupts which may damage the performance. This patch tries
to publish avail event as the used even to prevent the callbacks.

[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 3/6] 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.

Changes from RFCv4:
- change:
        virtqueue_disable_cb(sq->vq);
        napi_schedule(&sq->napi);

  in skb_xmit_done() to:

  if (__napi_schedule_prep(&sq->napi)) {
     virtqueue_diable_cb(sq->vq);
     __napi_schedule(&sq->napi);
  }

  to solve the race on architectures that atomic operations were not
  serialized. And do solve a similar issue in virtnet_poll_tx().
- use netif_wake_subqueue() instead of netif_start_subqueue() in
  free_old_xmit_skbs(), since it may be called in tx napi.
- in start_xmit(), try to enable the callback only when current skb is
  the last in the list or tx has already been stopped. This avoid the
  callbacks enabling in heavy load.

[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 5/6] vhost: let vhost_signal() returns whether signalled

Let vhost_signal() return whether or not vhost has injected an
interrupt to guest. This is used for interrupt coalescing
implementation to calculate the interval between two interrupts.

[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 6/6] 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.

Cc: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst at redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com>
---
Changes from RFCv4:
- return ns instead of us in vhost_net_check_coalesce_and_signal()
- measure the time interval of real interrupts instead of calls to
vhost_signal().

[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 1/6] virtio_ring: fix virtqueue_enable_cb() when only 1 buffers were pending

Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com> writes:> We currently does:

I mildly prefer to avoid the branch, by changing the calculation like
so:

        /* Set bufs >= 1, even if there's only one pending buffer */
        bufs = (bufs + 1) * 3 / 4;

But it's not clear to me how much this happens.  I'm happy with the
patch though, as currently virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() is the same
as virtqueue_enable_cb() if there's only been one buffer added.

Cheers,
Rusty.

[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 4/6] virtio-net: add basic interrupt coalescing support

Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com> writes:> This patch enables the interrupt coalescing setting through ethtool.
The problem is that there's nothing network specific about interrupt
coalescing.  I can see other devices wanting exactly the same thing,
which means we'd deprecate this in the next virtio standard.

I think the right answer is to extend like we did with
vring_used_event(), eg:

1) Add a new feature VIRTIO_F_RING_COALESCE.
2) Add another a 32-bit field after vring_used_event(), eg:
        #define vring_used_delay(vr) (*(u32
*)((vr)->avail->ring[(vr)->num + 2]))

This loses the ability to coalesce by number of frames, but we can still
do number of sg entries, as we do now with used_event, and we could
change virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() to take a precise number if we
wanted.

My feeling is that this should be a v1.0-only feature though
(eg. feature bit 33).

Cheers,
Rusty.

I'm surprised that this ever happens though.
Normally we call this after getting an interrupt, and
interrupts won't trigger again until the rings wraps around.

When I tested this, touching an extra cache line was more
expensive.

Does this really reduce number of interrupts?
Could you pls share some numbers with and without this patch?

Hmm in fact, can't this actually cause an extra interrupt
when avail->idx is completed?

I think that if you really can show disabling interrupts like this helps, you
should
set some invalid value like 0xfffff, or move it back to
vq->vring.avail->idx - 1.
No?
