[PATCH v1 00/12] NFS/RDMA client side for Linux 4.3

[PATCH v1 00/12] NFS/RDMA client side for Linux 4.3

[Chuck Lever]

Several important client-side performance and scalability
improvements are made in this series, proposed for the 4.3
kernel, including:

 - Increase maximum RDMA credits to 128
 - Increase maximum NFS r/wsize to one megabyte
 - Prefer inline rather than reply chunk replies

And these fixes:

 - Send NFSv4 WRITE compounds correctly
 - Support RDMA_NOMSG calls
 - Fix large NFS symlink operations
 - Get inline threshold accounting right

Also available in the "nfs-rdma-for-4.3" topic branch of this git repo:

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

[PATCH v1 02/12] xprtrdma: Raise maximum payload size to one megabyte

[Chuck Lever]

The point of larger rsize and wsize is to reduce the per-byte cost
of memory registration and deregistration. Modern HCAs can typically
handle a megabyte or more with a single registration operation.

This echoes the definition of RPCSVC_MAXPAYLOAD.

“1” documents “one” megabyte, I assume.

[PATCH v1 03/12] xprtrdma: Increase default credit limit

[Chuck Lever]

In preparation for similar increases on NFS/RDMA servers, bump the
advertised credit limit for RPC/RDMA to 128. This allocates some
extra resources, but the client will continue to allow only the
number of RPCs in flight that the server requests via its advertised
credit limit.

Re: [PATCH v1 03/12] xprtrdma: Increase default credit limit

[Devesh Sharma]

Increasing the default slot table entries will increase the MR
requirements per mount.

Currently, with 32 as default Client ends up allocating 2178 frmrs
(ref: kernel 4.1-rc4) for a single mount. With 128 frmr requirement
for startup would be 8448.

8K+ MRs per mount just for start-up, I am a little doubtful about this
change. We can always release-note that "for better performance
increase the slot table entries by echo 128 >
/proc/sys/sunrpc/rdma_slot_table_entries"

Commit 40c6ed0c8a7f ("xprtrdma: Reduce per-transport MR allocation”)
is supposed to address this. This commit is in 4.1.

The number of MRs per credit is now 256 divided by the HCA’s
max_fast_reg_page_list_len. See frwr_op_open().

For mlx4 the number of MRs per credit is just 1, for example.

Yes, we are covered here, I took reference of  4.1-rc4 and that series
was pulled in 4.1-rc7.

I will update my test-bench and re-validate the numbers.

[PATCH v1 04/12] xprtrdma: Remove last ib_reg_phys_mr() call site

[Chuck Lever]

All HCA providers have an ib_get_dma_mr() verb. Thus
rpcrdma_ia_open() will either grab the device's local_dma_key if one
is available, or it will call ib_get_dma_mr() which is a 100%
guaranteed fallback. There is never any need to use the
ib_reg_phys_mr() code path in rpcrdma_register_internal(), so it can
be removed.

The remaining logic in rpcrdma_{de}register_internal() is folded
into rpcrdma_{alloc,free}_regbuf().

Can you also send a follow-on to remove ib_reg_phys_mr entirely from
all core (= non-staging) code?

I would prefer to run this by Doug Oucharek first, as a courtesy.
Unless I’m mistaken, the Lustre client is supposed to be on its
way into the kernel, not on its way out.

Anyone have Doug’s e-mail address?

The only way a mess like lustre got into the kernel tree at all is
because the rules allow ignoring the staging tree for API changes,
otherwise kernel development wouldn't scale.  Lustre isn't really
on the way in, it's been in the staging tree forever and has made
zero progress towards actually being maintainable code.

on the way in, it's been in the staging tree forever and has made
zero progress towards actually being maintainable code.

[PATCH v1 05/12] xprtrdma: Account for RPC/RDMA header size when deciding to inline

[Chuck Lever]

When marshaling RPC/RDMA requests, ensure the combined size of
RPC/RDMA header and RPC header do not exceed the inline threshold.
Endpoints typically reject RPC/RDMA messages that exceed the size
of their receive buffers.

This is showing up as "can<80><99>t" in git-show, leading me to think that the apostrophe was replaced with a unicode-apostrophe.  Google might have made the switch, but can you double check the patch on your side just in case?

Did this solve a bug? because is seems like it does.
Maybe it will be a good idea to describe this bug.

There’s no bugzilla for this, as no issue has been encountered
in the field so far. It’s hard to trigger and servers are
forgiving.

I added some text in the patch description.

The final paragraph of Chapter 15 of Documentation/CodingStyle
suggests “static inline” is undesirable here. I think gcc makes
the correct inlining choice here by itself.

[PATCH v1 06/12] xprtrdma: Always provide a write list when sending NFS READ

[Chuck Lever]

The client has been setting up a reply chunk for NFS READs that are
smaller than the inline threshold. This is not efficient: both the
server and client CPUs have to copy the reply's data payload into
and out of the memory region that is then transferred via RDMA.

[PATCH v1 06/12] xprtrdma: Always provide a write list when sending NFS READ

[Chuck Lever]

The client has been setting up a reply chunk for NFS READs that are
smaller than the inline threshold. This is not efficient: both the
server and client CPUs have to copy the reply's data payload into
and out of the memory region that is then transferred via RDMA.

Using the write list, the data payload is moved by the device and no
extra data copying is necessary.

[PATCH v1 07/12] xprtrdma: Don't provide a reply chunk when expecting a short reply

[Chuck Lever]

Currently Linux always offers a reply chunk, even for small replies
(unless a read or write list is needed for the RPC operation).

A comment in rpcrdma_marshal_req() reads:

> Currently we try to not actually use read inline.
> Reply chunks have the desirable property that

This considers only the network bandwidth cost of sending the RPC
reply. For replies which are only a few dozen bytes, this is
typically not a good trade-off.

If the server chooses to return the reply inline:

 - The client has registered and invalidated a memory region to
   catch the reply, which is then not used

If the server chooses to use the reply chunk:

 - The server sends a few bytes using a heavyweight RDMA WRITE for
   operation. The entire RPC reply is conveyed in two RDMA
   operations (WRITE_ONLY, SEND) instead of one.

Note that both the server and client have to prepare or copy the
reply data anyway to construct these replies. There's no benefit to
using an RDMA transfer since the host CPU has to be involved.

Pipelined WRITE+SEND operations are hardly an overhead compared to
copying chunks of data.

I think that preparation (posting 1 or 2 WQEs) and copying
chunks of data of say 8K-16K might be different.

I understand that you probably see better performance scaling. But this
might be HW dependent. Also, this might backfire on you if your
configuration is one-to-many. Then, data copy CPU cycles might become
more expensive.

I don't really know what is better, but just thought I'd present
another side to this.

Two points that are probably not clear from my patch description:

1. This patch affects only replies (usually much) smaller than the
   client’s inline threshold (1KB). Anything larger will continue
   to use RDMA transfer.

2. These replies are constructed in the RPC buffer by the server,
   and parsed in the receive buffer by the client. They are not
   simple data copies on either endpoint.

Think NFS GETATTR: the server is gathering metadata from multiple
sources, and XDR encoding it in the reply send buffer. The data
is not copied, it is manipulated before the SEND.

The client then XDR decodes the received stream and scatters the
decoded results into multiple in-memory data structures.

Because XDR encoding/decoding is involved, there really is no
benefit to an RDMA transfer for these replies.

[PATCH v1 08/12] xprtrdma: Fix XDR tail buffer marshalling

[Chuck Lever]

Currently xprtrdma appends an extra chunk element to the RPC/RDMA
read chunk list of each NFSv4 WRITE compound. The extra element
contains the final GETATTR operation in the compound.

The result is an extra RDMA READ operation to transfer a very short
piece of each NFS WRITE compound (typically 16 bytes). This is
inefficient.

It is also incorrect. Although RFC 5667 is not precise about when
using a read list with NFSv4 COMPOUND is allowed, the intent is that
only data arguments not touched by the NFS client are to be sent
using RDMA READ or WRITE. The NFS client constructs GETATTR
arguments itself, and therefore is required to send the trailing
GETATTR operation as additional inline content, not as a data
payload.

NB: This change is not backwards compatible. Some older servers do
not accept inline content following the read list. The Linux NFS
server should handle this content correctly as of commit
a97c331f9aa9 ("svcrdma: Handle additional inline content").

[PATCH v1 09/12] xprtrdma: Prepare rpcrdma_ep_post() for RDMA_NOMSG calls

[Chuck Lever]

Only the RPC/RDMA header is sent when making an RDMA_NOMSG call.
That header resides in the first element of the iovec array
passed to rpcrdma_ep_post().

Instead of special casing the iovec element with the pad, just
sync all the elements in the send iovec. Syncing the zero pad is
not strictly necessary, but the pad is rarely if ever used these
days, and the extra cost in that case is small.

[PATCH v1 09/12] xprtrdma: Prepare rpcrdma_ep_post() for RDMA_NOMSG calls

[Chuck Lever]

Only the RPC/RDMA header is sent when making an RDMA_NOMSG call.
That header resides in the first element of the iovec array
passed to rpcrdma_ep_post().

Instead of special casing the iovec element with the pad, just
sync all the elements in the send iovec. Syncing the zero pad is
not strictly necessary, but the pad is rarely if ever used these
days, and the extra cost in that case is small.

we need to honor the max limits of device by checking
dev_attr.max_sge? a vendor may not support 4 sges.

iWARP requires a minimum of 4 send SGEs (draft-hilland-verbs 8.1.3.2)

    An RI MUST support at least four Scatter/Gather Elements per
    Scatter/Gather List when the Scatter/Gather List refers to the Data
    Source of a Send Operation Type or the Data Sink of a Receive
    Operation. An RI is NOT REQUIRED to support more than one
    Scatter/Gather Element per Scatter/Gather List when the
    Scatter/Gather List refers to the Data Source of an RDMA Write.

I'm not certain if IB and RoCE state a similar minimum requirement,
but it seems a very bad idea to have fewer.

To my knowledge IBTA Spec do not pose any such minimum requirement.
RoCE also do not puts any minimum requirement. I think its fine if
xprtrdma honors the device limits, thus covering iWARP devices because
all iWARP devices would support minimum 4.

Chuck would correct me if xprtrdma do have any minimum requirements

At least 2 SGEs are required for normal operation. The code in
rpcrdma_marshal_req() sets up an iovec for the RPC/RDMA header
and one for the RPC message itself. These are used in
rpcrdma_ep_post() to SEND each request.

Four SGEs are needed only for RDMA_MSGP type requests, but so far
I have never seen one of these used. I wonder if that logic can
be removed.

It is certainly possible to examine the device’s max_sge field
in rpcrdma_ep_create() and fail transport creation if the
device’s max_sge is less than RPC_MAX_IOVS.

I just want to draw Sagi's attention to this problem, when considering
my thoughts on an alternate API for posting.

This thread is about NFS needing 4 sges for a (rare?) message type.

The API direction I suggested addresses this kind of issue as well,
because under the covers the driver/core can spin up a temporary MR
for this case and thus support an infinite s/g list for all posts.

Two questions here:
1) Is syncing order important?  The original code went 3 - 1 - 0, but now we're going 0 - 1 - 2 - 3.
2) Is iov[2] the zero pad you mentioned in your commit message?  If not, do you know why it wasn't already syncing?

Thanks,
Anna

No, the syncing order isn’t important. What’s important is that
the sge’s be synced _before_ the SEND Work Request is posted so
that the HCA can see the freshly marshaled RPC.


> 2) Is iov[2] the zero pad you mentioned in your commit message?

Yes, it is.

> If not, do you know why it wasn't already syncing?

The pad always contains zeroes. Syncing it is optional, AFAICT.

v2 of this series will have some changes in this area, and the
zero pad will be gone entirely.

No, the syncing order isn’t important. What’s important is that
the sge’s be synced _before_ the SEND Work Request is posted so
that the HCA can see the freshly marshaled RPC.

Yes, it is.

The pad always contains zeroes. Syncing it is optional, AFAICT.

v2 of this series will have some changes in this area, and the
zero pad will be gone entirely.

[PATCH v1 10/12] xprtrdma: Fix large NFS SYMLINK calls

[Chuck Lever]

Repair how rpcrdma_marshal_req() chooses which RDMA message type
to use for large non-WRITE operations so that it picks RDMA_NOMSG
in the correct situations, and sets up the marshaling logic to
SEND only the RPC/RDMA header.

Large NFSv2 SYMLINK requests now use RDMA_NOMSG calls. The Linux NFS
server XDR decoder for NFSv2 SYMLINK does not handle having the
pathname argument arrive in a separate buffer. The decoder could be
fixed, but this is simpler and RDMA_NOMSG can be used in a variety
of other situations.

Ensure that the Linux client continues to use "RDMA_MSG + read
list" when sending large NFSv3 SYMLINK requests, which is more
efficient than using RDMA_NOMSG.

Large NFSv4 CREATE(NF4LNK) requests are changed to use "RDMA_MSG +
read list" just like NFSv3 (see Section 5 of RFC 5667). Before,
these did not work at all.

It might be better to split this into separate patches for nfs and sunrpc, since Trond might want to accept the nfs changes separately.

Originally I had the fs/nfs/*xdr.c changes split into separate patches.
But I’ve convinced myself that it is better to bundle the NFS changes
with the rpc_rdma.c changes here.

If the fs/nfs/*xdr.c changes come before the rpc_rdma.c changes, then
the XDRBUF_WRITE flag is being set in the NFS XDR encoders, but never
used anywhere. Which is safe, but somewhat nonsensical.

If the fs/nfs/*xdr.c changes come after the rpc_rdma.c changes, then
the client will send NFSv3 SYMLINK and NFSv4 CREATE(NF4LNK) differently
for a moment when just the rpc_rdma.c change is applied.

Together in a single commit, these are a single indivisible change that
stands up well to bisect, and is easy for distributions to cherry-pick.
It doesn’t make sense to apply the NFS and RPC/RDMA changes separately.

So, it’s up to you and Trond. I will change it if he prefers it broken
out. I think the most benign way to split them is to merge the
fs/nfs/*xdr.c changes first, but let’s hear from Trond.
