[PATCH 0/3] Fix request completion holes

[PATCH 0/3] Fix request completion holes

[Sagi Grimberg]

We have two holes in nvme-rdma when completing request.

1. We never wait for send work request to complete before completing
a request. It is possible that the HCA retries a send operation (due
to dropped ack) after the nvme cqe has already arrived back to the host.
If we unmap the host buffer upon reception of the cqe, the HCA might
get iommu errors when attempting to access an unmapped host buffer.
We must wait also for the send completion before completing a request,
most of the time it will be before the nvme cqe has arrived back so
we pay only for the extra cq entry processing.

2. We don't wait for the request memory region to be fully invalidated
in case the target didn't invalidate remotely. We must wait for the local
invalidation to complete before completing the request.

    completed

[PATCH 1/3] nvme-rdma: don't suppress send completions

[Sagi Grimberg]

The entire completions suppress mechanism is currently
broken because the HCA might retry a send operation
(due to dropped ack) after the nvme transaction has completed.

In order to handle this, we signal all send completions (besides
async event which is not racing anything).

[PATCH 2/3] nvme-rdma: don't complete requests before a send work request has completed

[Sagi Grimberg]

In order to guarantee that the HCA will never get an access violation
(either from invalidated rkey or from iommu) when retrying a send
operation we must complete a request only when both send completion
and the nvme cqe has arrived.

Only then we are safe to invalidate the rkey (if needed), unmap
the host buffers, and complete the IO.

[PATCH 3/3] nvme-rdma: wait for local invalidation before completing a request

[Sagi Grimberg]

We must not complete a request before the host memory region is
invalidated. Luckily we have send with invalidate protocol support
so we usually don't need to execute it, but in case the target
did not invalidate a memory region for us, we must wait for
the invalidation to complete before unmapping host memory and
completing the I/O.

[PATCH 3/3] nvme-rdma: wait for local invalidation before completing a request

[Sagi Grimberg]

We must not complete a request before the host memory region is
invalidated. Luckily we have send with invalidate protocol support
so we usually don't need to execute it, but in case the target
did not invalidate a memory region for us, we must wait for
the invalidation to complete before unmapping host memory and
completing the I/O.

Thanks Sagi.
We'll run these patches in our lab + our patches for the performance 
improvments that we sent few days ago and update the results.

I guess I'll need to run it with my cq moderation patches to get less 
penalty in performance.

Fine, but just a heads up, any cq moderation that is not adaptive is not 
something
that we'd like to pursue. I have a generic adaptive moderation library 
in the
works, so any ideas should be integrated into that (or something 
equivalent).

Re: [PATCH 0/3] Fix request completion holes

[idanb]

Sagi,

Thanks for you patches, Max and me ran your patches adding completion 
signaling for both send (command capsule) and local invalidation request.

The results were significant reduction of IOPs due to interrupts and 
completion processing, see below our results for READ/WRITE IOPs (512B, 
64 Jobs):

(1) No send signal and no invalidation signal w/ moderation 7.4M / 11.9M

(2) No send signal and no invalidation signal w/o moderation 7.1M / 8.7M

(3) No send signal with invalidation signal w/o moderation 5.2M / 8.3M

(4) Send signal with invalidation signal w/o moderation 3.4M / 4.6M

(5) Send signal with invalidation signal w/ moderation 6.2M / 11.8M


I understand that (1), (2) and (3) are invalid, the performance 
reduction induce by mode (4) need to motivate us to enable cqe/event 
moderation as soon as possible.

attached the full report we ran with Sagi's patches (+ cq moderation 
cases with cq_completions=32 cq_timeout=16 + old send signal [once in

Actually, isn't this valid and reasonable? You don't need to see the
SEND completion, the only thing that matters is the invalidate
completion, and the invalidate will naturally order after the send
is finished, yes?

Well good, it means you can help test my adaptive coalescing code :)

May I ask what moderation parameters did you use? it will be useful
to pin down the profile levels the adaptive moderator would bounce
between.

the default mode utilize remote invalidation, so no, its not valid.

Without remote invalidate I'm not sure, don't remember the ordering
rules from the top of my head. Idan, does a local invalidate completion
guarantee a prior send completion (of a non-related buffer)? I vaguely
remember that explicit fencing is required to guarantee that.

I guess we could not signal send completions if we are in a local
invalidate mode, but I'm liking this less and less...

Well, usually the ULP design should allow some things to be reaped
async, and latency senstive things to be sync.

Eg if you have a SEND using a local buffer with a RKEY, then you'd
declare the RKEY data completed when SEND_WITH_INVALIDATE is returned.

Recycling the lkey command buffer is an async process and can wait
unsignaled until something signalled comes to push its completion
through.

This approach reduces the # of CQEs required at the expense of
delaying reaping the lkey buffer.

This was the case I thought Idan was testing..

Local invalidate is defined to always be ordered by the spec, so it
is required to guarentee that the SEND is completed.

> invalidate mode, but I'm liking this less and less...

If the SEND reaping can be defered as above, then the local invalidate
completion becomes the signaled CQE that allows the SEND to be reaped.

Sure, I mentioned the params earlier (cq_completions=32 cq_timeout=16).

Sagi,
As we can see from our results, the changes made in this patchset must 
be pushed together with some cq moderation (adaptive or manual option 
meanwhile). In the testing, I created a module parameter but we can 
create a different option for the user to configure.

Not when using inline data with the send, which is the main issue
here. if we inline data to the command, we will use the local
dma lkey, which does not even have a local invalidate following it.

Yes, I understand the advantage of suppressing send completions..

But I'm not very fond of non-trivial behavior depending on all sort of
overly complicated conditions.

Still doesn't mean it is guaranteed to do the right thing :)

So local invalidate completion is guaranteed to come after all the
completions prior to it in the send queue?

Does nvme use inline data send and RKEY transfer in the same SEND?
Then it would need to signal the SEND if remote invalidate is used,
otherwise it only needs to signal the local invalidate for the RKEY..

Right, OK, to be clear, my emails were only about the case where there
was a SEND and INVALIDATE required together, I wasn't discussing SEND
alone, that is already as good as it can be I think :)

iWARP spec too.   This is in regard to completion ordering though.  The local
invalidate send WR must have the IB_SEND_FENCE flag set if you want it to only
be executed after all prior send WRs are executed.    Either way, the
completions are always inserted into the cq in-sq-submission-order and a
signaled completion implies completions of all prior unsignaled WRs.

iWARP spec too.   This is in regard to completion ordering though.  The local
invalidate send WR must have the IB_SEND_FENCE flag set if you want it to only
be executed after all prior send WRs are executed.    Either way, the
completions are always inserted into the cq in-sq-submission-order and a
signaled completion implies completions of all prior unsignaled WRs.

Oh right, yes, you need to have local invalidate fence to guarentee
that, but usually a local operation will not refer to a RKEY, so
execution ordering wont matter.

But this is a good general point, doesn't a ULP need to set FENCE on
SEND, eg:

 RDMA READ (rkey)
 RDMA READ (rkey)
 SEND w/ FENCE (tell remote to invalidate rkey)

Otherwise IBA Table 79 says RDMA READ can pass SEND and we have a
situation where the rkey has become invalidated when the remote is
still trying to use it.

IBA actually explicitly calls this out (pg 538):

 RDMA Read operations may be executed at the target after subse-
 quent Send and Invalidate operation already performed the invalida-
 tion at the target. That may cause the RDMA Read operation to fail.
 Setting the Fence Indicator on the subsequent operations guarantees
 that the RDMA Read will fully complete before the invalidation takes
 place.

None of our ULPs use IB_SEND_FENCE - so this is a bug!

Yes, excactly what is relevant for this nvme case..

I think the nvmf target doesn't post the SEND_W_INVALIDATE (NVMF CQE) until the
RDMA READ(s) (and back end BIO submission) complete.

Ah! That makes sense for a storage use case

Hey Sagi, I can help too on testing this with iw_cxgb4.  Where is your current
WIP?
