[PATCH net-next 0/8] vhost-net rx batching

[PATCH net-next 0/8] vhost-net rx batching

[Jason Wang]

Hi all:

This series tries to implement rx batching for vhost-net. This is done
by batching the dequeuing from skb_array which was exported by
underlayer socket and pass the sbk back through msg_control to finish
userspace copying.

Tests shows at most 19% improvment on rx pps.

Please review.

Thanks

Jason Wang (8):
  ptr_ring: introduce batch dequeuing
  skb_array: introduce batch dequeuing
  tun: export skb_array
  tap: export skb_array
  tun: support receiving skb through msg_control
  tap: support receiving skb from msg_control
  vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array
  vhost_net: use lockless peeking for skb array during busy polling

[PATCH net-next 7/8] vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array

[Jason Wang]

We used to dequeue one skb during recvmsg() from skb_array, this could
be inefficient because of the bad cache utilization and spinlock
touching for each packet. This patch tries to batch them by calling
batch dequeuing helpers explicitly on the exported skb array and pass
the skb back through msg_control for underlayer socket to finish the
userspace copying.

Tests were done by XDP1:
- small buffer:
  Before: 1.88Mpps
  After : 2.25Mpps (+19.6%)
- mergeable buffer:
  Before: 1.83Mpps
  After : 2.10Mpps (+14.7%)

Yes, it maybe better, if there's other comment on the series, will 
change it in next version.

This ignores the comment above that function:

/* Note: callers invoking this in a loop must use a compiler barrier,

 */

Also - it looks like it shouldn't matter if reads are reordered but I wonder.
Thoughts? Including some reasoning about it in commit log would be nice.

Are we planning to use them in future?

In that case do we need other variants of "ptr_ring_consume_batched_*()" functions.
Are we planning to use them in future?

I think we'd better keep them, since it serves as helpers. You can see 
that not all the helpers in ptr_ring has real users, but they were 
prepared for the future use.

Makes sense for basic building blocks but I'm not sure we
need to do it for all APIs.

This is not something new, it was introduced by ad69f35d1dc0a

Ok, rethink about this, since skb_array could be resized, using lockless 
version seems wrong.

For the comment of using compiler barrier, caller 
(vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len) uses cpu_relax(). But I haven't figured out 
why a compiler barrier is needed here. Could you please explain?

Ok, rethink about this, since skb_array could be resized, using lockless 
version seems wrong.

For the comment of using compiler barrier, caller 
(vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len) uses cpu_relax(). But I haven't figured out 
why a compiler barrier is needed here. Could you please explain?

Thanks
