net/smc: Fix setsockopt and sysctl to specify same buffer size again

2023-08-09T10:20:28+00:00

Commit 0227f058aa29 ("net/smc: Unbind r/w buffer size from clcsock and make them tunable") introduced the net.smc.rmem and net.smc.wmem sysctls to specify the size of buffers to be used for SMC type connections. This created a regression for users that specified the buffer size via setsockopt() as the effective buffer size was now doubled. Re-introduce the division by 2 in the SMC buffer create code and level this out by duplicating the net.smc.[rw]mem values used for initializing sk_rcvbuf/sk_sndbuf at socket creation time. This gives users of both methods (setsockopt or sysctl) the effective buffer size that they expect. Initialize net.smc.[rw]mem from its own constant of 64kB, respectively. Internal performance tests show that this value is a good compromise between throughput/latency and memory consumption. Also, this decouples it from any tuning that was done to net.ipv4.tcp_[rw]mem[1] before the module for SMC protocol was loaded. Check that no more than INT_MAX / 2 is assigned to net.smc.[rw]mem, in order to avoid any overflow condition when that is doubled for use in sk_sndbuf or sk_rcvbuf. While at it, drop the confusing sk_buf_size variable from __smc_buf_create and name "compressed" buffer size variables more consistently. Background: Before the commit mentioned above, SMC's buffer allocator in __smc_buf_create() always used half of the sockets' sk_rcvbuf/sk_sndbuf value as initial value to search for appropriate buffers. If the search resorted to using a bigger buffer when all buffers of the specified size were busy, the duplicate of the used effective buffer size is stored back to sk_rcvbuf/sk_sndbuf. When available, buffers of exactly the size that a user had specified as input to setsockopt() were used, despite setsockopt()'s documentation in "man 7 socket" talking of a mandatory duplication: [...] SO_SNDBUF Sets or gets the maximum socket send buffer in bytes. The kernel doubles this value (to allow space for book‐ keeping overhead) when it is set using setsockopt(2), and this doubled value is returned by getsockopt(2). The default value is set by the /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default file and the maximum allowed value is set by the /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max file. The minimum (doubled) value for this option is 2048.

net/smc: Separate SMC-D and ISM APIs

2023-01-25T09:46:48+00:00

We separate the code implementing the struct smcd_ops API in the ISM device driver from the functions that may be used by other exploiters of ISM devices. Note: We start out small, and don't offer the whole breadth of the ISM device for public use, as many functions are specific to or likely only ever used in the context of SMC-D. This is the third part of a bigger overhaul of the interfaces between SMC and ISM. Signed-off-by: Stefan Raspl Signed-off-by: Jan Karcher Signed-off-by: Wenjia Zhang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

2022-11-25T18:01:55+00:00

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way. Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder to misinterpret... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

net/smc: Allow virtually contiguous sndbufs or RMBs for SMC-R

2022-07-18T10:19:17+00:00

On long-running enterprise production servers, high-order contiguous memory pages are usually very rare and in most cases we can only get fragmented pages. When replacing TCP with SMC-R in such production scenarios, attempting to allocate high-order physically contiguous sndbufs and RMBs may result in frequent memory compaction, which will cause unexpected hung issue and further stability risks. So this patch is aimed to allow SMC-R link group to use virtually contiguous sndbufs and RMBs to avoid potential issues mentioned above. Whether to use physically or virtually contiguous buffers can be set by sysctl smcr_buf_type. Note that using virtually contiguous buffers will bring an acceptable performance regression, which can be mainly divided into two parts: 1) regression in data path, which is brought by additional address translation of sndbuf by RNIC in Tx. But in general, translating address through MTT is fast. Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, the comparisons in qperf latency and bandwidth test with physically and virtually contiguous buffers are as follows: - client: smc_run taskset -c qperf -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2\ -t 5 -vu tcp_{bw|lat} - server: smc_run taskset -c qperf [latency] msgsize tcp smcr smcr-use-virt-buf 1 11.17 us 7.56 us 7.51 us (-0.67%) 2 10.65 us 7.74 us 7.56 us (-2.31%) 4 11.11 us 7.52 us 7.59 us ( 0.84%) 8 10.83 us 7.55 us 7.51 us (-0.48%) 16 11.21 us 7.46 us 7.51 us ( 0.71%) 32 10.65 us 7.53 us 7.58 us ( 0.61%) 64 10.95 us 7.74 us 7.80 us ( 0.76%) 128 11.14 us 7.83 us 7.87 us ( 0.47%) 256 10.97 us 7.94 us 7.92 us (-0.28%) 512 11.23 us 7.94 us 8.20 us ( 3.25%) 1024 11.60 us 8.12 us 8.20 us ( 0.96%) 2048 14.04 us 8.30 us 8.51 us ( 2.49%) 4096 16.88 us 9.13 us 9.07 us (-0.64%) 8192 22.50 us 10.56 us 11.22 us ( 6.26%) 16384 28.99 us 12.88 us 13.83 us ( 7.37%) 32768 40.13 us 16.76 us 16.95 us ( 1.16%) 65536 68.70 us 24.68 us 24.85 us ( 0.68%) [bandwidth] msgsize tcp smcr smcr-use-virt-buf 1 1.65 MB/s 1.59 MB/s 1.53 MB/s (-3.88%) 2 3.32 MB/s 3.17 MB/s 3.08 MB/s (-2.67%) 4 6.66 MB/s 6.33 MB/s 6.09 MB/s (-3.85%) 8 13.67 MB/s 13.45 MB/s 11.97 MB/s (-10.99%) 16 25.36 MB/s 27.15 MB/s 24.16 MB/s (-11.01%) 32 48.22 MB/s 54.24 MB/s 49.41 MB/s (-8.89%) 64 106.79 MB/s 107.32 MB/s 99.05 MB/s (-7.71%) 128 210.21 MB/s 202.46 MB/s 201.02 MB/s (-0.71%) 256 400.81 MB/s 416.81 MB/s 393.52 MB/s (-5.59%) 512 746.49 MB/s 834.12 MB/s 809.99 MB/s (-2.89%) 1024 1292.33 MB/s 1641.96 MB/s 1571.82 MB/s (-4.27%) 2048 2007.64 MB/s 2760.44 MB/s 2717.68 MB/s (-1.55%) 4096 2665.17 MB/s 4157.44 MB/s 4070.76 MB/s (-2.09%) 8192 3159.72 MB/s 4361.57 MB/s 4270.65 MB/s (-2.08%) 16384 4186.70 MB/s 4574.13 MB/s 4501.17 MB/s (-1.60%) 32768 4093.21 MB/s 4487.42 MB/s 4322.43 MB/s (-3.68%) 65536 4057.14 MB/s 4735.61 MB/s 4555.17 MB/s (-3.81%) 2) regression in buffer initialization and destruction path, which is brought by additional MR operations of sndbufs. But thanks to link group buffer reuse mechanism, the impact of this kind of regression decreases as times of buffer reuse increases.

net/smc: use memcpy instead of snprintf to avoid out of bounds read

net/smc: Introduce a new conn->lgr validity check helper

2022-01-13T13:14:53+00:00

It is no longer suitable to identify whether a smc connection is registered in a link group through checking if conn->lgr is NULL, because conn->lgr won't be reset even the connection is unregistered from a link group. So this patch introduces a new helper smc_conn_lgr_valid() and replaces all the check of conn->lgr in original implementation with the new helper to judge if conn->lgr is valid to use.
