[PATCH v2 net-next 0/4] vhost_net: Avoid vq kicks during busyloop
Under heavy load vhost tx busypoll tend not to suppress vq kicks, which
causes poor guest tx performance. The detailed scenario is described in
commitlog of patch 2.
Rx seems not to have that serious problem, but for consistency I made a
similar change on rx to avoid rx wakeups (patch 3).
Additionary patch 4 is to avoid rx kicks under heavy load during
busypoll.
Tx performance is greatly improved by this change. I don't see notable
performance change on rx with this series though.
Performance numbers (tx):
- Bulk transfer from guest to external physical server.
[Guest]->vhost_net->tap--(XDP_REDIRECT)-->i40e --(wire)-->
[Server]
- Set 10us busypoll.
- Guest disables checksum and TSO because of host XDP.
- Measured single flow Mbps by netperf, and kicks by perf kvm stat
(EPT_MISCONFIG event).
Before After
Mbps kicks/s Mbps kicks/s
UDP_STREAM 1472byte 247758 27
Send 3645.37 6958.10

TCP_STREAM 8801.03 45794 9592.77 2884
v2:
- Split patches into 3 parts (renaming variables, tx-kick fix, rx-wakeup
fix).
- Avoid rx-kicks too (patch 4).
- Don't memorize endtime as it is not needed for now.

[PATCH v2 net-next 2/4] vhost_net: Avoid tx vring kicks during busyloop
Under heavy load vhost busypoll may run without suppressing
notification. For example tx zerocopy callback can push tx work while
handle_tx() is running, then busyloop exits due to vhost_has_work()
condition and enables notification but immediately reenters handle_tx()
because the pushed work was tx. In this case handle_tx() tries to
disable notification again, but when using event_idx it by design
cannot. Then busyloop will run without suppressing notification.
Another example is the case where handle_tx() tries to enable
notification but avail idx is advanced so disables it again. This case
also leads to the same situation with event_idx.
The problem is that once we enter this situation busyloop does not work
under heavy load for considerable amount of time, because notification
is likely to happen during busyloop and handle_tx() immediately enables
notification after notification happens. Specifically busyloop detects
notification by vhost_has_work() and then handle_tx() calls
vhost_enable_notify(). Because the detected work was the tx work, it
enters handle_tx(), and enters busyloop without suppression again.
This is likely to be repeated, so with event_idx we are almost not able
to suppress notification in this case.
To fix this, poll the work instead of enabling notification when
busypoll is interrupted by something. IMHO vhost_has_work() is kind of
interruption rather than a signal to completely cancel the busypoll, so
let's run busypoll after the necessary work is done.

[PATCH v2 net-next 3/4] vhost_net: Avoid rx queue wake-ups during busypoll
We may run handle_rx() while rx work is queued. For example a packet can
push the rx work during the window before handle_rx calls
vhost_net_disable_vq().
In that case busypoll immediately exits due to vhost_has_work()
condition and enables vq again. This can lead to another unnecessary rx
wake-ups, so poll rx work instead of enabling the vq.

[PATCH v2 net-next 4/4] vhost_net: Avoid rx vring kicks during busyloop
We may run out of avail rx ring descriptor under heavy load but busypoll
did not detect it so busypoll may have exited prematurely. Avoid this by
checking rx ring full during busypoll.
