I tried to follow current implementation for TCP as much as possible: 1) Sender must enable SO_ZEROCOPY flag to use this feature. Without this flag, data will be sent in "classic" copy manner and MSG_ZEROCOPY flag will be ignored (e.g. without completion). 2) Kernel uses completions from socket's error queue. Single completion for single tx syscall (or it can merge several completions to single one). I used already implemented logic for MSG_ZEROCOPY support: 'msg_zerocopy_realloc()' etc. Difference with copy way is not significant. During packet allocation, non-linear skb is created and filled with pinned user pages. There are also some updates for vhost and guest parts of transport - in both cases i've added handling of non-linear skb for virtio part. vhost copies data from such skb to the guest's rx virtio buffers. In the guest, virtio transport fills tx virtio queue with pages from skb. Head of this patchset is: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=94e86ef1b801d213dfb8543633dec86abb1a457d This version has several limits/problems: 1) As this feature totally depends on transport, there is no way (or it is difficult) to check whether transport is able to handle it or not during SO_ZEROCOPY setting. Seems I need to call AF_VSOCK specific setsockopt callback from setsockopt callback for SOL_SOCKET, but this leads to lock problem, because both AF_VSOCK and SOL_SOCKET callback are not considered to be called from each other. So in current version SO_ZEROCOPY is set successfully to any type (e.g. transport) of AF_VSOCK socket, but if transport does not support MSG_ZEROCOPY, tx routine will fail with EOPNOTSUPP. ^^^ This is still no resolved :( 2) When MSG_ZEROCOPY is used, for each tx system call we need to enqueue one completion. In each completion there is flag which shows how tx was performed: zerocopy or copy. This leads that whole message must be send in zerocopy or copy way - we can't send part of message with copying and rest of message with zerocopy mode (or vice versa). Now, we need to account vsock credit logic, e.g. we can't send whole data once - only allowed number of bytes could sent at any moment. In case of copying way there is no problem as in worst case we can send single bytes, but zerocopy is more complex because smallest transmission unit is single page. So if there is not enough space at peer's side to send integer number of pages (at least one) - we will wait, thus stalling tx side. To overcome this problem i've added simple rule - zerocopy is possible only when there is enough space at another side for whole message (to check, that current 'msghdr' was already used in previous tx iterations i use 'iov_offset' field of it's iov iter). ^^^ Discussed as ok during v2. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/23guh3txkghxpgcrcjx7h62qsoj3xgjhfzgtbmqp2slrz3rxr4@zya2z7kwt75l/ 3) loopback transport is not supported, because it requires to implement non-linear skb handling in dequeue logic (as we "send" fragged skb and "receive" it from the same queue). I'm going to implement it in next versions. ^^^ fixed in v2 4) Current implementation sets max length of packet to 64KB. IIUC this is due to 'kmalloc()' allocated data buffers. I think, in case of MSG_ZEROCOPY this value could be increased, because 'kmalloc()' is not touched for data - user space pages are used as buffers. Also this limit trims every message which is > 64KB, thus such messages will be send in copy mode due to 'iov_offset' check in 2). ^^^ fixed in v2 PATCHSET STRUCTURE Patchset has the following structure: 1) Handle non-linear skbuff on receive in virtio/vhost. 2) Handle non-linear skbuff on send in virtio/vhost. 3) Updates for AF_VSOCK. 4) Enable MSG_ZEROCOPY support on transports. 5) Tests/tools/docs updates. PERFORMANCE Performance: it is a little bit tricky to compare performance between copy and zerocopy transmissions. In zerocopy way we need to wait when user buffers will be released by kernel, so it is like synchronous path (wait until device driver will process it), while in copy way we can feed data to kernel as many as we want, don't care about device driver. So I compared only time which we spend in the 'send()' syscall. Then if this value will be combined with total number of transmitted bytes, we can get Gbit/s parameter. Also to avoid tx stalls due to not enough credit, receiver allocates same amount of space as sender needs. Sender: ./vsock_perf --sender --buf-size --bytes 256M [--zc] Receiver: ./vsock_perf --vsk-size 256M I run tests on two setups: desktop with Core i7 - I use this PC for development and in this case guest is nested guest, and host is normal guest. Another hardware is some embedded board with Atom - here I don't have nested virtualization - host runs on hw, and guest is normal guest. G2H transmission (values are Gbit/s): Core i7 with nested guest. Atom with normal guest. *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | | | | | | | | | buf size | copy | zerocopy | | buf size | copy | zerocopy | | | | | | | | | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 4KB | 3 | 10 | | 4KB | 0.8 | 1.9 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 32KB | 20 | 61 | | 32KB | 6.8 | 20.2 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 256KB | 33 | 244 | | 256KB | 7.8 | 55 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 1M | 30 | 373 | | 1M | 7 | 95 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 8M | 22 | 475 | | 8M | 7 | 114 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* H2G: Core i7 with nested guest.

I analyzed this case more deeply and found that bottleneck is function 'vhost_work_queue()'. With 4K buffer size, caller spends too much time in it with zerocopy mode (comparing to copy mode). This happens only with 4K buffer size. This function just calls 'wake_up_process()' and its internal logic does not depends on skb, so i think potential reason (may be) is interval between two calls of this function (e.g. how often it is called). Note, that 'vhost_work_queue()' differs from the same function at guest's side of transport: 'virtio_transport_send_pkt()' uses 'queue_work()' which i think is more optimized for worker purposes, than direct call to 'wake_up_process()'. But again - this is just my assumption. Loopback: Core i7 with nested guest. Atom with normal guest. *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | | | | | | | | | buf size | copy | zerocopy | | buf size | copy | zerocopy | | | | | | | | | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 4KB | 8 | 7 | | 4KB | 1.8 | 1.3 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 32KB | 38 | 44 | | 32KB | 10 | 10 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 256KB | 55 | 168 | | 256KB | 15 | 36 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 1M | 53 | 250 | | 1M | 12 | 45 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* | 8M | 40 | 344 | | 8M | 11 | 74 | *-------------------------------* *-------------------------------* I analyzed performace difference more deeply for the following setup: server: ./vsock_perf --vsk-size 16M client: ./vsock_perf --sender 2 --bytes 16M --buf-size 16K/4K [--zc] In other words I send 16M of data from guest to host in copy/zerocopy modes and with two different sizes of buffer - 4K and 64K. Let's see to tx path for both modes - it consists of two steps: copy: 1) Allocate skb of buffer's length. 2) Copy data to skb from buffer. zerocopy: 1) Allocate skb with header space only. 2) Pin pages of the buffer and insert them to skb. I measured average number of ns (returned by 'ktime_get()') for each step above: 1) Skb allocation (for both copy and zerocopy modes). 2) For copy mode in 'memcpy_to_msg()' - copying. 3) For zerocopy mode in '__zerocopy_sg_from_iter()' - pinning. Here are results for copy mode: *-------------------------------------* | buf | skb alloc | 'memcpy_to_msg()' | *-------------------------------------* | | | | | 64K | 5000ns | 25000ns | | | | | *-------------------------------------* | | | | | 4K | 800ns | 2200ns | | | | | *-------------------------------------* Here are results for zerocopy mode: *-----------------------------------------------* | buf | skb alloc | '__zerocopy_sg_from_iter()' | *-----------------------------------------------* | | | | | 64K | 250ns | 3500ns | | | | | *-----------------------------------------------* | | | | | 4K | 250ns | 3000ns | | | | | *-----------------------------------------------* I guess that reason of zerocopy performance is low overhead for page pinning: there is big difference between 4K and 64K in case of copying (25000 vs 2200), but in pinning case - just 3000 vs 3500. So, zerocopy is faster than classic copy mode, but of course it requires specific architecture of application due to user pages pinning, buffer size and alignment. NOTES If host fails to send data with "Cannot allocate memory", check value /proc/sys/net/core/optmem_max - it is accounted during completion skb allocation. Try to update it to for example 1M and try send again: "echo 1048576 > /proc/sys/net/core/optmem_max" (as root). TESTING This patchset includes set of tests for MSG_ZEROCOPY feature. I tried to cover new code as much as possible so there are different cases for MSG_ZEROCOPY transmissions: with disabled SO_ZEROCOPY and several io vector types (different sizes, alignments, with unmapped pages). I also run tests with loopback transport and run vsockmon. In v3 i've added io_uring test as separated application. Thanks, Arseniy Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/0e7c6fc4-b4a6-a27b-36e9-359597bba2b5@sberdevices.ru/ Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230423192643.1537470-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ Changelog: v1 -> v2: - Replace 'get_user_pages()' with 'pin_user_pages()'. - Loopback transport support. v2 -> v3 - Use 'get_user_pages()' instead of 'pin_user_pages()'. I think this is right approach, because i'm using '__zerocopy_sg_from_iter()' function. It is already implemented and used by io_uring zerocopy tx logic to 'pin' pages of user's buffer. - Use 'skb_copy_datagram_iter()' to copy data from both linear and non-linear skb to user's iov iter. It already has support for copying data from paged part of skb (by calling 'kmap()'). In v2 i used my own "from scratch" implemented function. With this and previous thing I significantly reduced LOC number in kernel part. - Add io_uring test for AF_VSOCK. It is implemented as separated util, because it depends on liburing (i think there is no need to link 'vsock_test' with liburing, because io_uring functionality depends on environment - both in kernel and userspace). - Values from PERFORMANCE section are updated for all transports, but I didn't found any significant difference with v2. - More details in commit messages.
