Revert "svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain"

2024-04-20T15:20:41Z

Performance regression reported with NFS/RDMA using Omnipath, bisected to commit e084ee673c77 ("svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain"). Tracing on the server reports: nfsd-7771 [060] 1758.891809: svcrdma_sq_post_err: cq.id=205 cid=226 sc_sq_avail=13643/851 status=-12 sq_post_err reports ENOMEM, and the rdma->sc_sq_avail (13643) is larger than rdma->sc_sq_depth (851). The number of available Send Queue entries is always supposed to be smaller than the Send Queue depth. That seems like a Send Queue accounting bug in svcrdma. As it's getting to be late in the 6.9-rc cycle, revert this commit. It can be revisited in a subsequent kernel release.

svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain

2024-03-01T14:12:30Z

Chain RDMA Writes that convey Write chunks onto the local Send chain. This means all WRs for an RPC Reply are now posted with a single ib_post_send() call, and there is a single Send completion when all of these are done. That reduces both the per-transport doorbell rate and completion rate. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

svcrdma: Post WRs for Write chunks in svc_rdma_sendto()

2024-03-01T14:12:29Z

Refactor to eventually enable svcrdma to post the Write WRs for each RPC response using the same ib_post_send() as the Send WR (ie, as a single WR chain). svc_rdma_result_payload (originally svc_rdma_read_payload) was added so that the upper layer XDR encoder could identify a range of bytes to be possibly conveyed by RDMA (if a Write chunk was provided by the client). The purpose of commit f6ad77590a5d ("svcrdma: Post RDMA Writes while XDR encoding replies") was to post as much of the result payload outside of svc_rdma_sendto() as possible because svc_rdma_sendto() used to be called with the xpt_mutex held. However, since commit ca4faf543a33 ("SUNRPC: Move xpt_mutex into socket xpo_sendto methods"), the xpt_mutex is no longer held when calling svc_rdma_sendto(). Thus, that benefit is no longer an issue.

svcrdma: Post the Reply chunk and Send WR together

2024-03-01T14:12:29Z

Reduce the doorbell and Send completion rates when sending RPC/RDMA replies that have Reply chunks. NFS READDIR procedures typically return their result in a Reply chunk, for example. Instead of calling ib_post_send() to post the Write WRs for the Reply chunk, and then calling it again to post the Send WR that conveys the transport header, chain the Write WRs to the Send WR and call ib_post_send() only once. Thanks to the Send Queue completion ordering rules, when the Send WR completes, that guarantees that Write WRs posted before it have also completed successfully. Thus all Write WRs for the Reply chunk can remain unsignaled. Instead of handling a Write completion and then a Send completion, only the Send completion is seen, and it handles clean up for both the Writes and the Send. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

svcrdma: Move write_info for Reply chunks into struct svc_rdma_send_ctxt

2024-03-01T14:12:28Z

Since the RPC transaction's svc_rdma_send_ctxt will stay around for the duration of the RDMA Write operation, the write_info structure for the Reply chunk can reside in the request's svc_rdma_send_ctxt instead of being allocated separately. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

svcrdma: Post Send WR chain

2024-03-01T14:12:28Z

Eventually I'd like the server to post the reply's Send WR along with any Write WRs using only a single call to ib_post_send(), in order to reduce the NIC's doorbell rate. To do this, add an anchor for a WR chain to svc_rdma_send_ctxt, and refactor svc_rdma_send() to post this WR chain to the Send Queue. For the moment, the posted chain will continue to contain a single Send WR. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

svcrdma: Implement multi-stage Read completion again

2024-01-07T22:54:33Z

Having an nfsd thread waiting for an RDMA Read completion is problematic if the Read responder (ie, the client) stops responding. We need to go back to handling RDMA Reads by getting the svc scheduler to call svc_rdma_recvfrom() a second time to finish building an RPC message after a Read completion. This is the final patch, and makes several changes that have to happen concurrently: 1. svc_rdma_process_read_list no longer waits for a completion, but simply builds and posts the Read WRs. 2. svc_rdma_read_done() now queues a completed Read on sc_read_complete_q for later processing rather than calling complete(). 3. The completed RPC message is no longer built in the svc_rdma_process_read_list() path. Finishing the message is now done in svc_rdma_recvfrom() when it notices work on the sc_read_complete_q. The "finish building this RPC message" code is removed from the svc_rdma_process_read_list() path. This arrangement avoids the need for an nfsd thread to wait for an RDMA Read non-interruptibly without a timeout. It's basically the same code structure that Tom Tucker used for Read chunks along with some clean-up and modernization. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever
