Does this happen if you run a simple dd (single request-response inflight)?

Hi Sagi- I typically run dbench, iozone, and xfstests when preparing patches for upstream. The generic/113 test I mention in the patch description is the only test where I saw this issue. I expect single-thread won’t drive enough Work Queue activity to push the provider into WQ overflow. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Recent work made FRMR registration and invalidation completions unsignaled. This greatly reduces the adapter interrupt rate. Every so often, however, a posted send Work Request is allowed to signal. Otherwise, the provider's Work Queue will wrap and the workload will hang. The number of Work Requests that are allowed to remain unsignaled is determined by the value of req_cqinit. Currently, this is set to the size of the send Work Queue divided by two, minus 1. For FRMR, the send Work Queue is the maximum number of concurrent RPCs (currently 32) times the maximum number of Work Requests an RPC might use (currently 7, though some adapters may need more). For mlx4, this is 224 entries. This leaves completion signaling disabled for 111 send Work Requests. Some providers hold back dispatching Work Requests until a CQE is generated. If completions are disabled, then no CQEs are generated for quite some time, and that can stall the Work Queue. I've seen this occur running xfstests generic/113 over NFSv4, where eventually, posting a FAST_REG_MR Work Request fails with -ENOMEM because the Work Queue has overflowed. The connection is dropped and re-established. Cap the rep_cqinit setting so completions are not left turned off for too long.
