Wythe" This patch set attempts to optimize the parallelism of SMC-R connections, mainly to reduce unnecessary blocking on locks, and to fix exceptions that occur after thoses optimization. According to Off-CPU graph, SMC worker's off-CPU as that: smc_close_passive_work (1.09%) smcr_buf_unuse (1.08%) smc_llc_flow_initiate (1.02%) smc_listen_work (48.17%) __mutex_lock.isra.11 (47.96%) An ideal SMC-R connection process should only block on the IO events of the network, but it's quite clear that the SMC-R connection now is queued on the lock most of the time. The goal of this patchset is to achieve our ideal situation where network IO events are blocked for the majority of the connection lifetime. There are three big locks here: 1. smc_client_lgr_pending & smc_server_lgr_pending 2. llc_conf_mutex 3. rmbs_lock & sndbufs_lock And an implementation issue: 1. confirm/delete rkey msg can't be sent concurrently while protocol allows indeed. Unfortunately,The above problems together affect the parallelism of SMC-R connection. If any of them are not solved. our goal cannot be achieved. After this patch set, we can get a quite ideal off-CPU graph as following: smc_close_passive_work (41.58%) smcr_buf_unuse (41.57%) smc_llc_do_delete_rkey (41.57%) smc_listen_work (39.10%) smc_clc_wait_msg (13.18%) tcp_recvmsg_locked (13.18) smc_listen_find_device (25.87%) smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs (25.87%) smc_llc_do_confirm_rkey (25.87%) We can see that most of the waiting times are waiting for network IO events. This also has a certain performance improvement on our short-lived conenction wrk/nginx benchmark test: +--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+ |conns/qps |c4 | c8 | c16 | c32 | c64 | c200 | +--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+ |SMC-R before |9.7k | 10k | 10k | 9.9k | 9.1k | 8.9k | +--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+ |SMC-R now |13k | 19k | 18k | 16k | 15k | 12k | +--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+ |TCP |15k | 35k | 51k | 80k | 100k | 162k | +--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+ The reason why the benefit is not obvious after the number of connections has increased dues to workqueue. If we try to change workqueue to UNBOUND, we can obtain at least 4-5 times performance improvement, reach up to half of TCP. However, this is not an elegant solution, the optimization of it will be much more complicated. But in any case, we will submit relevant optimization patches as soon as possible. Please note that the premise here is that the lock related problem must be solved first, otherwise, no matter how we optimize the workqueue, there won't be much improvement. Because there are a lot of related changes to the code, if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks D. Wythe v1 -> v2: 1. Fix panic in SMC-D scenario 2. Fix lnkc related hashfn calculation exception, caused by operator priority 3. Only wake up one connection if the lnk is not active 4. Delete obsolete unlock logic in smc_listen_work() 5. PATCH format, do Reverse Christmas tree 6. PATCH format, change all xxx_lnk_xxx function to xxx_link_xxx 7. PATCH format, add correct fix tag for the patches for fixes. 8. PATCH format, fix some spelling error 9. PATCH format, rename slow to do_slow v2 -> v3: 1. add SMC-D support, remove the concept of link cluster since SMC-D has no link at all. Replace it by lgr decision maker, who provides suggestions to SMC-D and SMC-R on whether to create new link group. 2. Fix the corruption problem described by PATCH 'fix application data exception' on SMC-D. v3 -> v4: 1. Fix panic caused by uninitialization map. v4 -> v5: 1. Make SMC-D buf creation be serial to avoid Potential error 2. Add a flag to synchronize the success of the first contact with the ready of the link group, including SMC-D and SMC-R. 3. Fixed possible reference count leak in smc_llc_flow_start(). 4. reorder the patch, make bugfix PATCH be ahead. v5 -> v6: 1. Separate the bugfix patches to make it independent. 2. Merge patch 'fix SMC_CLC_DECL_ERR_REGRMB without smc_server_lgr_pending' with patch 'remove locks smc_client_lgr_pending and smc_server_lgr_pending' 3. Format code styles, including alignment and reverse christmas tree style. 4. Fix a possible memory leak in smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() and smc_llc_rmt_conf_rkey(). v6 -> v7: 1. Discard patch attempting to remove global locks 2. Discard patch attempting make confirm/delete rkey process concurrently D.
