Following set of patches implement transmit MQ in virtio-net. Also
included is the user qemu changes. MQ is disabled by default unless
qemu specifies it.
Changes from rev2:
------------------
1. Define (in virtio_net.h) the maximum send txqs; and use in
virtio-net and vhost-net.
2. vi->sq[i] is allocated individually, resulting in cache line
aligned sq[0] to sq[n]. Another option was to define
'send_queue' as:
struct send_queue {
struct virtqueue *svq;
struct scatterlist tx_sg[MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2];
} ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
and to statically allocate 'VIRTIO_MAX_SQ' of those. I hope
the submitted method is preferable.
3. Changed vhost model such that vhost[0] handles RX and vhost[1-MAX]
handles TX[0-n].
4. Further change TX handling such that vhost[0] handles both RX/TX
for single stream case.
Enabling MQ on virtio:
-----------------------
When following options are passed to qemu:
- smp > 1
- vhost=on
- mq=on (new option, default:off)
then #txqueues = #cpus. The #txqueues can be changed by using an
optional 'numtxqs' option. e.g. for a smp=4 guest:
vhost=on -> #txqueues = 1
vhost=on,mq=on -> #txqueues = 4
vhost=on,mq=on,numtxqs=2 -> #txqueues = 2
vhost=on,mq=on,numtxqs=8 -> #txqueues = 8
Performance (guest -> local host):
-----------------------------------
System configuration:
Host: 8 Intel Xeon, 8 GB memory
Guest: 4 cpus, 2 GB memory
Test: Each test case runs for 60 secs, sum over three runs (except
when number of netperf sessions is 1, which has 10 runs of 12 secs
each). No tuning (default netperf) other than taskset vhost's to
cpus 0-3. numtxqs=32 gave the best results though the guest had
only 4 vcpus (I haven't tried beyond that).

Move queue_index from virtio_pci_vq_info to virtqueue. This
allows callback handlers to figure out the queue number for
the vq that needs attention.

Implement mq virtio-net driver.
Though struct virtio_net_config changes, it works with old
qemu's since the last element is not accessed, unless qemu
sets VIRTIO_NET_F_NUMTXQS. Patch also adds a macro for the
maximum number of TX vq's (VIRTIO_MAX_SQ) that the user can
specify.

Changes for mq vhost.
vhost_net_open is changed to allocate a vhost_net and
return. The remaining initializations are delayed till
SET_OWNER. SET_OWNER is changed so that the argument
is used to determine how many txqs to use. Unmodified
qemu's will pass NULL, so this is recognized and handled
as numtxqs=1.
Besides changing handle_tx to use 'vq', this patch also
changes handle_rx to take vq as parameter. The mq RX
patch requires this change, but till then it is consistent
(and less confusing) to make the interfaces for handling
rx and tx similar.
vhost thread handling for RX and TX is as follows. The
first vhost thread handles RX traffic, while the remaining
threads handles TX. The number of threads is <= #txqs, and
threads handle more than one txq when #txqs is more than
MAX_VHOST_THREADS (4). When guest is started with >1 txqs
and there is only one stream of traffic from the guest,
that is recognized and handled such that vhost[0] processes
both RX and TX. This can change dynamically. vhost_poll
has a new element - find_vq(), which allows optimizing some
code for cases where numtxqs=1 or a packet on vhost[0]
needs processing.

> Changes from rev2:
> ------------------
> 1. Define (in virtio_net.h) the maximum send txqs; and use in
> virtio-net and vhost-net.
> 2. vi->sq[i] is allocated individually, resulting in cache line
> aligned sq[0] to sq[n]. Another option was to define
> 'send_queue' as:
> struct send_queue {
> struct virtqueue *svq;
> struct scatterlist tx_sg[MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2];
> } ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
> and to statically allocate 'VIRTIO_MAX_SQ' of those. I hope
> the submitted method is preferable.
> 3. Changed vhost model such that vhost[0] handles RX and vhost[1-MAX]
> handles TX[0-n].
> 4. Further change TX handling such that vhost[0] handles both RX/TX
> for single stream case.
>
> Enabling MQ on virtio:
> -----------------------
> When following options are passed to qemu:
> - smp > 1
> - vhost=on
> - mq=on (new option, default:off)
> then #txqueues = #cpus. The #txqueues can be changed by using an
> optional 'numtxqs' option. e.g. for a smp=4 guest:
> vhost=on -> #txqueues = 1
> vhost=on,mq=on -> #txqueues = 4
> vhost=on,mq=on,numtxqs=2 -> #txqueues = 2
> vhost=on,mq=on,numtxqs=8 -> #txqueues = 8
>
>
> Performance (guest -> local host):
> -----------------------------------
> System configuration:
> Host: 8 Intel Xeon, 8 GB memory
> Guest: 4 cpus, 2 GB memory
> Test: Each test case runs for 60 secs, sum over three runs (except
> when number of netperf sessions is 1, which has 10 runs of 12 secs
> each). No tuning (default netperf) other than taskset vhost's to
> cpus 0-3. numtxqs=32 gave the best results though the guest had

I am trying to wrap my head around kernel/user interface here.
E.g., will we need another incompatible change when we add multiple RX
queues? Also need to think about how robust our single stream heuristic is,
e.g. what are the chances it will misdetect a bidirectional
UDP stream as a single TCP?

Though I added a 'mq' option to qemu, there shouldn't be
any incompatibility between old and new qemu's wrt vhost
and virtio-net drivers. So the old qemu will run new host
and new guest without issues, and new qemu can also run
old host and old guest. Multiple RXQ will also not add
any incompatibility.
With MQ RX, I will be able to remove the hueristic (idea
from David Stevens). The idea is: Guest sends out packets
on, say TXQ#2, vhost#2 processes the packets but packets
going out from host to guest might be sent out on a
different RXQ, say RXQ#4. Guest receives the packet on
RXQ#4, and all future responses on that connection are sent
on TXQ#4. Now vhost#4 processes both RX and TX packets for
this connection. Without needing to hash on the connection,
guest can make sure that the same vhost thread will handle
a single connection.

I think it should not happen. The hueristic code gets
called for handling just the transmit packets, packets
that vhost sends out to the guest skip this path.
I tested unidirectional and bidirectional UDP to confirm:
8 iterations of iperf tests, each iteration of 15 secs,
result is the sum of all 8 iterations in Gbits/sec

I think we discussed the need for external to guest testing
over 10G. For large messages we should not see any change
but you should be able to get better numbers for small messages
assuming a MQ NIC card.

Is binding vhost threads to CPUs really required?
What happens if we let the scheduler do its job?

Nothing drastic, I remember BW% and SD% both improved a
bit as a result of binding. I started binding vhost thread
after Avi suggested it in response to my v1 patch (he
suggested some more that I haven't done), and have been
doing only this tuning ever since. This is part of his
mail for the tuning:
> vhost:

I simply bound each thread to CPU0-3 instead.

If there's a significant improvement this would mean that
we need to rethink the vhost-net interaction with the scheduler.

For external host, there is a contention among different
queues (vhosts) when packets are processed in tun/bridge,
unless I implement MQ TX for macvtap (tun/bridge?). So
my testing shows a small improvement (1 to 1.5% average)
in BW and a rise in SD (between 10-15%). For remote host,
I think tun/macvtap needs MQ TX support?

I will get a test run with and without binding and post the
results later today.

Confused. I thought this *is* with a multiqueue tun/macvtap?
bridge does not do any queueing AFAIK ...
I think we need to fix the contention. With migration what was guest to
host a minute ago might become guest to external now ...

Macvtap RX is MQ but not TX. I don't think MQ TX support is
required for macvtap, though. Is it enough for existing
macvtap sendmsg to work, since it calls dev_queue_xmit
which selects the txq for the outgoing device?

I think there would be an issue with using a single poll notifier and
contention on send buffer atomic variable.
Is tun different than macvtap? We need to support both long term ...

Correction: The result with binding is is much better for
SD/CPU compared to without-binding:
_____________________________________________________
numtxqs=8,vhosts=5, Bind vs No-bind
# BW% CPU% RCPU% SD% RSD%
_____________________________________________________
1 11.25 10.77 1.89 0 -6.06
2 18.66 7.20 7.20 -14.28 -7.40
4 4.24 -1.27 1.56 -2.70 -.98
8 14.91 -3.79 5.46 -12.19 -3.76
16 12.32 -8.67 4.63 -35.97 -26.66
24 11.68 -7.83 5.10 -40.73 -32.37

_____________________________________________________
BW: 10.4%, CPU/RCPU: -7.4%,7.7%, SD: -70.5%,-65.7%
Notes:
1. All my test results earlier was binding vhost
to cpus 0-3 for both org and new kernel.
2. I am not using MST's use_mq patch, only mainline
kernel. However, I reported earlier that I got
better results with that patch. The result for
MQ vs MQ+use_mm patch (from my earlier mail):
BW: 0 CPU/RCPU: -4.2,-6.1 SD/RSD: -13.1,-15.6

Can you pls ty finding out why that is? Is some thread bouncing between
CPUs? Does a wrong numa node get picked up?
In practice users are very unlikely to pin threads to CPUs.

I may be misunderstanding what you're referring to. It caught my
attention since I'm working on a configuration to do what you say is
unlikely, so I'll chime in for what it's worth.
An option in Vyatta allows assigning CPU affinity to network adapters,
since apparently seperate L2 caches can have a significant impact on
throughput.
Although much of their focus seems to be on commercial virtualization
platforms, I do see quite a few forum posts with regard to KVM.
Mabye this still qualifies as an edge case, but as for virtualized
routing theirs seems to offer the most functionality.

Something that was suggested to me off-list is
trying to set smp affinity for NIC: in host to guest
case probably virtio-net, for external to guest
the host NIC as well.

I had to make a few changes to qemu (and a minor change in macvtap
driver) to get multiple TXQ support using macvtap working. The NIC
is a ixgbe card.

Is there anything else you would like me to test/change, or shall
I submit the next version (with the above macvtap changes)?

Something strange here, right?
1. You are consistently getting >10G/s here, and even with a single stream?
2. With 2 streams, is where we get < 10G/s originally. Instead of
doubling that we get a marginal improvement with 2 queues and
about 30% worse with 1 queue.
Is your card MQ?

Sorry, I should have mentioned this though I had stated in my
earlier mails. Each test result has two iterations, each of 60
seconds, except when #netperfs is 1 for which I do 10 iteration
(sum across 10 iterations). I started doing many more iterations
for 1 netperf after finding the issue earlier with single stream.
So the BW is only 4.5-7 Gbps.

(doubling happens consistently for guest -> host, but never for
remote host) I tried 512/txqs=2 and 1024/txqs=8 to get a varied
testing scenario. In first case, there is a slight improvement in
BW and good reduction in SD. In the second case, only SD improves
(though BW drops for 2 stream for some reason). In both cases,
BW and SD improves as the number of sessions increase.

Yes, the card is MQ. ixgbe 10g card.

I guess this is another indication that something's wrong.
We are quite far from line rate, the fact BW does not scale
means there's some contention in the code.

Yes, that is what I get with 512/1K macvtap I/O size :)

The patch - both virtio-net and vhost-net, doesn't have any
locking/mutex's/ or any synchronization method. Guest -> host
performance improvement of upto 100% shows the patch is not
doing anything wrong.

Attaining line speed with macvtap seems to be a generic issue
and unrelated to my patch specifically. IMHO if there is nothing
wrong in the code (review) and is accepted, it will benefit as
others can also help to find what needs to be implemented in
vhost/macvtap/qemu to get line speed for guest->remote-host.
PS: bare-metal performance for host->remote-host is also
2.7 Gbps and 2.8 Gbps for 512/1024 for the same card.

My concern is this: we don't seem to do anything in tap or macvtap to
help packets from separate virtio queues get to separate queues in the
hardware device and to avoid reordering when we do this.
- skb_tx_hash calculation will get different results
- hash math that e.g. tcp does will run on guest and seems to be discarded
etc
Maybe it's as simple as some tap/macvtap ioctls to set up the queue number
in skbs. Or maybe we need to pass the skb hash from guest to host.
It's this last option that should make us especially cautios as it'll
affect guest/host interface.
Also see d5a9e24afb4ab38110ebb777588ea0bd0eacbd0a: if we have
hardware which records an RX queue, it appears important to
pass that info to guest and to use that in selecting the TX queue.
Of course we won't see this in netperf runs but this needs to
be given thought too - supporting this seems to suggest either
sticking the hash in the virtio net header for both tx and rx,
or using multiplease RX queues.

No problem, I will queue these patches in some branch
to help enable cooperation, as well as help you
iterate with incremental patches instead of resending it all each time.

You mean native linux BW does not scale for your host with

I had sent this mail to Michael last week - he agrees that I should

______________________________________________________________
Avg: BW: (58.3) CPU: (110.8) RCPU: (55.9)
It's true that average CPU% on guest is almost double that of the BW
improvement. But I don't think this is due to the patch (driver does no
synchronization, etc). To compare MQ vs SQ on a 10G card, I ran the
same test from host to remote host across cxgb3. The results are
somewhat similar:
(I changed cxgb_open on the client system to:
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(dev, 1);
err = netif_set_real_num_rx_queues(dev, 1);
to simulate single queue (SQ))

The BW increased modestly but CPU increased much more. I assume
the change I made above to convert the driver from MQ to SQ is not
incorrect.

Hi Krishna,
I have a few questions about the results below:
1. Are the (%) comparisons between non-mq and mq virtio?
2. Was UDP or TCP used?
3. What was the transmit size (-m option to netperf)?
Also, I'm interested to know what the status of these patches is.
Are you planing a fresh series?

Hi Simon,

TCP. I had done some initial testing on UDP, but don't have
the results now as it is really old. But I will be running
it again.

I didn't use the -m option, so it defaults to 16K. The
script does:
netperf -t TCP_STREAM -c -C -l 60 -H $SERVER

Yes. Michael Tsirkin had wanted to see how the MQ RX patch
would look like, so I was in the process of getting the two
working together. The patch is ready and is being tested.
Should I send a RFC patch at this time?
The TX-only patch helped the guest TX path but didn't help
host->guest much (as tested using TCP_MAERTS from the guest).
But with the TX+RX patch, both directions are getting
improvements. Remote testing is still to be done.

Also, my hope is that with appropriate queue mapping,
we might be able to do away with heuristics to detect
single stream load that TX only code needs.

Others might be able to help here once you post the patch.

Sure, will get a build/test on latest bits and send in 1-2 days.

Yes, that whole stuff is removed, and the TX/RX path is
unchanged with this patch (thankfully :)

That's great, will appreciate any help.

Cool. I was wondering whether in that case, we can
do without host kernel changes at all,
and use a separate fd for each TX/RX pair.
The advantage of that approach is that this way,
the max fd limit naturally sets an upper bound
on the amount of resources userspace can use up.
Thoughts?
In any case, pls don't let the above delay
sending an RFC.

Hi Krishna,
thanks for clarifying the test results.
I'm looking forward to the forthcoming RFC patches.

I will look into this also.
Please excuse the delay in sending the patch out faster - my
bits are a little old, so it is taking some time to move to
the latest kernel and get some initial TCP/UDP test results.
I should have it ready by tomorrow.
Thanks,
