Commit Message

Mike Christie Oct. 22, 2020, 12:34 a.m. UTC
This is a prep patch to support multiple vhost worker threads per vhost
dev. This patch converts the code that had assumed a single worker
thread by:

1. Moving worker related fields to a new struct vhost_worker.
2. Converting vhost.c code to use the new struct and assume we will
have an array of workers.
3. It also exports a helper function that will be used in the last
patch when vhost-scsi is converted to use this new functionality.

Why do we need multiple worker threads?

For vhost-scsi, we do the initial submission and completion from the
vhost worker thread and after adding 2 vqs this single thread becomes a
bottleneck.

With the null_blk driver we max out at 360K IOPs when doing a random
workload like:

fio --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k --ioengine=libaio \
--iodepth=VQ_QUEUE_DEPTH --numjobs=NUM_VQS --filename  /dev/sdXYZ

where NUM_VQS gets up to 8 (number of cores per numa node on my system)
and VQ_QUEUE_DEPTH can be anywhere from 32 to 128.

With the patches in this set, we are able to get IOPs from a single
LUN up to 640K. And, With some other changes I am working on to the
LIO locking and binding worker threads to specific CPUs we can get this
up to 880K
