[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: low latency sockets follow ups

[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: low latency sockets follow ups

[Eliezer Tamir]

David,

Here are two more patches.

Patch 1 removes the config menu for NET_LL_RX_POLL and defaults to y.
Patch 2 adds an SO_LL socket option to allow per-socket control of busy polling.

The patches do not depend on each other.
If one of them needs more work, please consider applying the other.

I will reply to this thread with a patch to sockperf that enables using
the socket option.

Thanks,
Eliezer

[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: remove NET_LL_RX_POLL config menue

[Eliezer Tamir]

Remove NET_LL_RX_POLL from the config menu.
Change default to y.
Busy polling still needs to be enabled at runtime via sysctl.

[PATCH net-next 2/2] net:add socket option for low latency polling

[Eliezer Tamir]

adds a socket option for low latency polling.
This allows overriding the global sysctl value with a per-socket one.

[PATCH] sockperf: add SO_LL socketop support

[Eliezer Tamir]

Add lls socket option support to sockperf.
Right now we always get the option before set to show the option is 
working properly. We should probably remove that in an official release.
use --lls (value in usecs) to override global setting.

Hmm, sk_ll_usec is an unsigned int.

(cycles_t)TSC_MHZ * ACCESS_ONCE(sk->sk_ll_usec) + get_cycles();

Why an "unsigned long" ?

Just use

Why an unsigned long ? 32bit are more than enough.

We changed it to an unsigned long in v7, I guess that was gratuitous.
Re-reading your comments on v6 2/5 I realize a cast would have sufficed.
Should I send a patch to revert it to an unsigned int?

Thanks,
Eliezer

One sysctl as unsigned long was not a big deal so I was ok with your
change ;)

unsigned int for sk_ll_usec is enough, but using a 32x32->64bit multiply
is probably safer.

Failed capability checks normally result in EPERM whereas EACCES usually
results from a file permission/ACL/label check.

Perhaps unprivileged users should be allowed to set a value as long as
it's less than or equal to the global value?

I thought of allowing to disable even if you are not privileged, but 
this sounds better.

Eliezer Hi,

Added sockperf maintainers to CC list.

To upload changes to sockperf code, please open a ticket on the sockperf
google code and then submit the patch
(https://code.google.com/p/sockperf/issues/).

You will need to wrap it in " #ifndef w-i-n-d-o-w-s" but sockperf
maintainers can help you do that on the sockperf pages.

You should look at the recently added TOS which is very similar
(https://code.google.com/p/sockperf/issues/detail?id=44).

Thank you.

Please note that I plan on revising this patch, so don't add it just 
yet. (I will CC the maintainers on further versions.)

Wait a second, I didn't notice this before.  There needs to be a better
way to test for the accuracy you need, or if the issue is lack of a proper
API for cycle counter reading, fix that rather than add ugly arch
specific dependencies to generic networking code.

This should be sched_clock(), rather than direct TSC access.
Also any code using TSC or sched_clock has to be carefully audited to deal with
clocks running at different rates on different CPU's. Basically value is only
meaning full on same CPU.

OK,

If we covert to sched_clock(), would adding a define such as 
HAVE_HIGH_PRECISION_CLOCK to architectures that have both a high 
precision clock and a 64 bit cycles_t be a good solution?

(if not any other suggestion?)

Hm, probably cpu_clock() and similar might be better, since they use
sched_clock() in the background when !CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
(meaning when sched_clock() provides synchronized highres time source from
the architecture), and, quoting ....

  Otherwise it tries to create a semi stable clock from a mixture of other
  clocks, including:

   - GTOD (clock monotomic)
   - sched_clock()
   - explicit idle events

But yeah, it needs to be evaluated regarding the drift between CPUs in
general.

Then, eventually, you could get rid of the entire NET_LL_RX_POLL config
option plus related ifdefs in the code and have it built-in in general?

I don't think we want the overhead of disabling IRQs
that cpu_clock() adds.

We don't really care about precise measurement.
All we need is a sane cut-off for busy polling.
It's no big deal if on a rare occasion we poll less,
or even poll twice the time.
As long as it's rare it should not matter.

Maybe the answer is not to use cycle counting at all?
Maybe just wait the full sk_rcvtimo?
(resched() when proper, bail out if signal pending, etc.)

This could only be a safe/sane thing to do after we add
a socket option, because this can't be a global setting.

This would of course turn the option into a flag.
If it's set (and !nonblock), busy wait up to sk_recvtimo.

Opinions?
