Subject: [PATCH net-next V4 0/5] vhost: accelerate metadata access through vmap()
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 17:55:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190123095557.30168-1-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
This series tries to access virtqueue metadata through kernel virtual
address instead of copy_user() friends since they had too much
overheads like checks, spec barriers or even hardware feature
toggling.
Test shows about 24% improvement on TX PPS. It should benefit other
cases as well.
Changes from V3:
- don't try to use vmap for file backed pages
- rebase to master
Changes from V2:
- fix buggy range overlapping check
- tear down MMU notifier during vhost ioctl to make sure invalidation
request can read metadata userspace address and vq size without
holding vq mutex.
Changes from V1:
- instead of pinning pages, use MMU notifier to invalidate vmaps and
remap duing metadata prefetch
- fix build warning on MIPS
Jason Wang (5):
vhost: generalize adding used elem
vhost: fine grain userspace memory accessors
vhost: rename vq_iotlb_prefetch() to vq_meta_prefetch()
vhost: introduce helpers to get the size of metadata area
vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual address
