Merge branch 'vsock-virtio' into main
Luigi Leonardi says: ==================== vsock: avoid queuing on intermediate queue if possible This series introduces an optimization for vsock/virtio to reduce latency and increase the throughput: When the guest sends a packet to the host, and the intermediate queue (send_pkt_queue) is empty, if there is enough space, the packet is put directly in the virtqueue. v3->v4 While running experiments on fio with 64B payload, I realized that there was a mistake in my fio configuration, so I re-ran all the experiments and now the latency numbers are indeed lower with the patch applied. I also noticed that I was kicking the host without the lock. - Fixed a configuration mistake on fio and re-ran all experiments. - Fio latency measurement using 64B payload. - virtio_transport_send_skb_fast_path sends kick with the tx_lock acquired - Addressed all minor style changes requested by maintainer. - Rebased on latest net-next - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] v2->v3 - Performed more experiments using iperf3 using multiple streams - Handling of reply packets removed from virtio_transport_send_skb, as is needed just by the worker. - Removed atomic_inc/atomic_sub when queuing directly to the vq. - Introduced virtio_transport_send_skb_fast_path that handles the steps for sending on the vq. - Fixed a missing mutex_unlock in error path. - Changed authorship of the second commit - Rebased on latest net-next v1->v2 In this v2 I replaced a mutex_lock with a mutex_trylock because it was insidea RCU critical section. I also added a check on tx_run, so if the module is being removed the packet is not queued. I'd like to thank Stefano for reporting the tx_run issue. Applied all Stefano's suggestions: - Minor code style changes - Minor commit text rewrite Performed more experiments: - Check if all the packets go directly to the vq (Matias' suggestion) - Used iperf3 to see if there is any improvement in overall throughput from guest to host - Pinned the vhost process to a pCPU. - Run fio using 512B payload Rebased on latest net-next ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
