[PATCH v2 0/5] Fix "support large inline thresholds"

[PATCH v2 0/5] Fix "support large inline thresholds"

[Chuck Lever]

Hi Anna-

I've received a number of reports that v4.9 commit 655fec6987be
("xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline messages") causes
NFS/RDMA mounts to fail for devices that have a small max_sge.

This series addresses that problem. Would you consider this series
of bug fixes for v4.10-rc?


Available in the "nfs-rdma-for-4.10-rc" topic branch of this git repo:

git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/cel-2.6.git

And for online review:

http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=cel/cel-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/nfs-rdma-for-4.10-rc


Changes since v1:
- Rebased on v4.10-rc5
- Renamed some variables for clarity
- Clarified patch descriptions
- Added Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags

[PATCH v2 1/5] xprtrdma: Fix Read chunk padding

[Chuck Lever]

When pad optimization is disabled, rpcrdma_convert_iovs still
does not add explicit XDR round-up padding to a Read chunk.

Commit 677eb17e94ed ("xprtrdma: Fix XDR tail buffer marshalling")
incorrectly short-circuited the test for whether round-up padding
is needed that appears later in rpcrdma_convert_iovs.

However, if this is indeed a Read chunk (and not a Position-Zero
Read chunk), the tail iovec _always_ contains the chunk's padding,
and never anything else.

So, it's easy to just skip the tail when padding optimization is
enabled, and add the tail in a subsequent Read chunk segment, if
disabled.

[PATCH v2 2/5] xprtrdma: Per-connection pad optimization

[Chuck Lever]

Pad optimization is changed by echoing into
/proc/sys/sunrpc/rdma_pad_optimize. This is a global setting,
affecting all RPC-over-RDMA connections to all servers.

The marshaling code picks up that value and uses it for decisions
about how to construct each RPC-over-RDMA frame. Having it change
suddenly in mid-operation can result in unexpected failures. And
some servers a client mounts might need chunk round-up, while
others don't.

So instead, copy the pad_optimize setting into each connection's
rpcrdma_ia when the transport is created, and use the copy, which
can't change during the life of the connection, instead.

This also removes a hack: rpcrdma_convert_iovs was using
the remote-invalidation-expected flag to predict when it could leave
out Write chunk padding. This is because the Linux server handles
implicit XDR padding on Write chunks correctly, and only Linux
servers can set the connection's remote-invalidation-expected flag.

It's more sensible to use the pad optimization setting instead.

[PATCH v2 3/5] xprtrdma: Disable pad optimization by default

[Chuck Lever]

Commit d5440e27d3e5 ('xprtrdma: Enable pad optimization') made the
Linux client omit XDR round-up padding in normal Read and Write
chunks so that the client doesn't have to register and invalidate
3-byte memory regions that contain no real data.

Unfortunately, my cheery 2014 assessment that this optimization "is
supported now by both Linux and Solaris servers" was premature.
We've found bugs in Solaris in this area since commit d5440e27d3e5
was merged (SYMLINK is the main culprit).

So for maximum interoperability, I'm disabling this optimization
again. If a CM private message is exchanged when connecting, the
client recognizes that the server is Linux, and enables the
optimization for that connection.

Until now the Solaris server bugs did not impact common operations,
and were thus largely unnoticed. Soon, less capable devices on Linux
NFS/RDMA clients will make use of Read chunks more often, and these
Solaris bugs will prevent interoperation in more cases.

Unfortunately, my cheery 2014 assessment that this optimization "is
supported now by both Linux and Solaris servers" was premature.
We've found bugs in Solaris in this area since commit d5440e27d3e5
was merged (SYMLINK is the main culprit).

So for maximum interoperability, I'm disabling this optimization
again. If a CM private message is exchanged when connecting, the
client recognizes that the server is Linux, and enables the
optimization for that connection.

Until now the Solaris server bugs did not impact common operations,
and were thus largely unnoticed. Soon, less capable devices on Linux
NFS/RDMA clients will make use of Read chunks more often, and these
Solaris bugs will prevent interoperation in more cases.

[PATCH v2 4/5] xprtrdma: Reduce required number of send SGEs

[Chuck Lever]

The MAX_SEND_SGES check introduced in commit 655fec6987be
("xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline messages") fails
for devices that have a small max_sge.

Instead of checking for a large fixed maximum number of SGEs,
check for a minimum small number. RPC-over-RDMA will switch to
using a Read chunk if an xdr_buf has more pages than can fit in
the device's max_sge limit. This is considerably better than
failing all together to mount the server.

This fix supports devices that have as few as three send SGEs
available.

[Chuck Lever]

We no longer need to accommodate an xdr_buf whose pages start at an
offset and cross extra page boundaries. If there are more partial or
whole pages to send than there are available SGEs, the marshaling
logic is now smart enough to use a Read chunk instead of failing.

Does the rdma_pad_optimize option have documentation somewhere that needs to be updated to describe the new behavior?

I noticed that patches one and four are the only ones with a "Fixes:" tag.  Do you need all five patches to fix the problem, or can the rest be deferred to 4.11?

5/5 can be deferred if you want. The others are all required to
fix the problem. However, these were tested as a series. I'm
reticent to split them at this point.

Should 1 - 4 have a "Fixes: 655fec6987be ("xprtrdma: Use
gathered Send for large ...")" ?

5/5 can be deferred if you want. The others are all required to
fix the problem. However, these were tested as a series. I'm
reticent to split them at this point.

Should 1 - 4 have a "Fixes: 655fec6987be ("xprtrdma: Use
gathered Send for large ...")" ?

Hi Anna, is there anything more you need from me? As above,
I was hoping these could be included in v4.10-rc, which is
likely to be closed in just a week or two.

Hi Anna-

Since I haven't heard from you regarding this series, and v4.10
final is imminent, I will assume these fixes should be folded
into nfs-rdma-for-4.11. v3 of nfs-rdma-for-4.11 will include
these patches.

Sorry that I dropped the ball on these :(  I was considering sending them for v4.11 but with a "Cc stable" so that they get backported to v4.9 and v4.10 kernels.  Rolling them into v3 sounds good to me.
