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
interrupts. About 10% - 15% performance were improved with this.
Perforamnce test shows:
- Few regression (10% - 15%) were noticed TCP_RR were noticed, this
regresssion were not seen in previous version. Still not clear the
reason.
- CPU utilization is increased in some cases.
- All other cases, tx interrupts can perform equal or better than
orphaning especially for small packet tx
TODO:
- Try to fix the regressions of TCP_RR
- Determine a suitable coalescing paramters
Test Environmets:
- Two Intel Xeon E5620 @ 2.40GHz with back to back connected Intel 82599EB
- Both host and guest were 4.1-rc4
- Vhost zerocopy disabled
- idle=poll
- Netperf 2.6.0
- tx-frames=8 tx-usecs=64 (which was chosen to be the best performance
during testing other combinations)
- Irqbalance were disabled by host, and smp affinity were set manually
- Using default ixgbe coalescing parameters
Test Result:

Changes from RFCv5:
- rebase the HEAD
- Move net specific codes to virtio/vhost generic codes
- Drop the wrong virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() optimization from the
series
- Limit the enabling of tx interrupt only for host with interrupt
coalescing. This can reduce the performance impact for older host.
- Avoid expensive dividing in vhost code.
- Try to avoid the overhead of timer callback by using mutex_trylock()
and inject the irq directly from the timer callback.
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)
Jason Wang (7):
virito-cpi: add coalescing parameters setting

[RFC V7 PATCH 2/7] 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 enable tx interrupt for virtio-net driver. This can make
socket accounting works again and help to reduce the buffer bloat. To
reduce the performance impacts, only enable tx interrupt on newer host
with interrupt coalescing support.

1.8.3.1
This patch implements basic interrupt coalescing support. This is done
by introducing two new per virtqueue parameters:
- max_coalescced_buffers: maximum number of buffers before trying to
issue an interrupt.
- coalesce_usecs: maximum number of microseconds waited if at least
one buffer is pending before trying to issue an interrupt.
A new ioctl was also introduced for userspace to set or get the above
two values.
The number of coalesced buffers were increased in vhost_add_used_n()
and vhost_signal() was modified that it will only try to issue an
interrupt when:
- The number of coalesced buffers exceed or is equal to
max_coalesced_buffes.
- The time since last signal trying exceed or is equal to
coalesce_usecs.
When neither of the above two conditions were met, the interrupt was
delayed and during exit of a round of processing, device specific code
will call vhost_check_coalesce_and_signal() to check the above two
conditions again and schedule a timer for delayed interrupt if the
conditions were still not met.
