Using a delayed work queue helps us make sure a healthy number of FMRs have queued up over the limit. It makes for a large improvement in RDMA iops. Signed-off-by:Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

When we add more FMRs, we flush them less often and so we go faster. Signed-off-by: -

FRM allocation and recycling is performance critical and fairly lock intensive. The current code has a per connection lock that all processes bang on and it becomes a major bottleneck on large systems. This changes things to use a number of cmpxchg based lists instead, allowing us to go through the whole FMR lifecycle without locking inside RDS. Zach Brown pointed out that our usage of cmpxchg for xlist removal is racey if someone manages to remove and add back an FMR struct into the list while another CPU can see the FMR's address at the head of the list. The second CPU might assume the list hasn't changed when in fact any number of operations might have happened in between the deletion and reinsertion. This commit maintains a per cpu count of CPUs that are currently in xlist removal, and establishes a grace period to make sure that nobody can see an entry we have just removed from the list.

rds_send_xmit() was changed to hold an interrupt masking spinlock instead of a mutex so that it could be called from the IB receive tasklet path. This broke the TCP transport because its xmit method can block and masks and unmasks interrupts. This patch serializes callers to rds_send_xmit() with a simple bit instead of the current spinlock or previous mutex. This enables rds_send_xmit() to be called from any context and to call functions which block. Getting rid of the c_send_lock exposes the bare c_lock acquisitions which are changed to block interrupts. A waitqueue is added so that rds_conn_shutdown() can wait for callers to leave rds_send_xmit() before tearing down partial send state. This lets us get rid of c_senders. rds_send_xmit() is changed to check the conn state after acquiring the RDS_IN_XMIT bit to resolve races with the shutdown path. Previously both worked with the conn state and then the lock in the same order, allowing them to race and execute the paths concurrently. rds_send_reset() isn't racing with rds_send_xmit() now that rds_conn_shutdown() properly ensures that rds_send_xmit() can't start once the conn state has been changed. We can remove its previous use of the spinlock. Finally, c_send_generation is redundant. Callers can race to test the c_flags bit by simply retrying instead of racing to test the c_send_generation atomic. Signed-off-by:Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>

conn->c_lock is acquired in interrupt context. rds_conn_message_info() is called from user context and was acquiring c_lock without blocking interrupts, leading to possible deadlocks. Signed-off-by: -

rds_send_acked_before() wasn't blocking interrupts when acquiring c_lock from user context but nothing calls it. Rather than fix its use of c_lock we just remove the function. Signed-off-by: -

When prefilling the rds frags, we end up doing a lot of allocations. We're not in atomic context here, and so there's no reason to dip into atomic reserves. This changes the prefills to use masks that allow waiting. Signed-off-by: -

This patch is based heavily on an initial patch by Chris Mason. Instead of freeing slab memory and pages, it keeps them, and funnels them back to be reused. The lock minimization strategy uses xchg and cmpxchg atomic ops for manipulation of pointers to list heads. We anchor the lists with a pointer to a list_head struct instead of a static list_head struct. We just have to carefully use the existing primitives with the difference between a pointer and a static head struct. For example, 'list_empty()' means that our anchor pointer points to a list with a single item instead of meaning that our static head element doesn't point to any list items. Original patch by Chris, with significant mods and fixes by Andy and Zach. Signed-off-by:

All it does is call unmap_sg(), so just call that directly. The comment above unmap_page also may be incorrect, so we shouldn't hold on to it, either. Signed-off-by: -

refill_one() should never be called on a recv struct that doesn't need a new r_frag allocated. Add a WARN and remove conditional around r_frag alloc code. Also, add a comment to explain why r_ibinc may or may not need refilling. Signed-off-by: -

Instead of splitting up a page into RDS_FRAG_SIZE chunks ourselves, ask rds_page_remainder_alloc() to do it. While it is possible PAGE_SIZE > FRAG_SIZE, on x86en it isn't, so having duplicate "carve up a page into buffers" code seems excessive. The other modification this spawns is the use of a single struct scatterlist in rds_page_frag instead of a bare page ptr. This causes verbosity to increase in some places, and decrease in others. Finally, I decided to unify the lifetimes and alloc/free of rds_page_frag and its page. This is a nice simplification in itself, but will be extra-nice once we come to adding cmason's recycling patch. Signed-off-by: -

Currently IB device removal destroys connections which are associated with the device. This prevents connections from being re-established when replacement devices are added. Instead we'll queue shutdown work on the connections as their devices are removed. When we see that devices are added we triger connection attempts on all connections that don't currently have a device. The result is that RDS sockets can resume device-independent work (bcopy, not RDMA) across IB device removal and restoration. Signed-off-by: -

A few paths had the same block of code to queue a connection's connect work if it was in the right state. Let's move this in to a helper function. Signed-off-by: -

The RDS IB client .remove callback used to free the rds_ibdev for the given device unconditionally. This could race other users of the struct. This patch adds refcounting so that we only free the rds_ibdev once all of its users are done. Many rds_ibdev users are tied to connections. We give the connection a reference and change these users to reference the device in the connection instead of looking it up in the IB client data. The only user of the IB client data remaining is the first lookup of the device as connections are built up. Incrementing the reference count of a device found in the IB client data could race with final freeing so we use an RCU grace period to make sure that freeing won't happen until those lookups are done. MRs need the rds_ibdev to get at the pool that they're freed in to. They exist outside a connection and many MRs can reference different devices from one socket, so it was natural to have each MR hold a reference. MR refs can be dropped from interrupt handlers and final device teardown can block so we push it off to a work struct. Pool teardown had to be fixed to cancel its pending work instead of deadlocking waiting for all queued work, including itself, to finish. MRs get their reference from the global device list, which gets a reference. It is left unprotected by locks and remains racy. A simple global lock would be a significant bottleneck. More scalable (complicated) locking should be done carefully in a later patch. Signed-off-by: -

rds_ib_xmit_rdma() was calling ib_get_client_data() to get at the rds_ibdevice just to get the max_sge for the transmit. This patch instead has it get it directly off the rds_ibdev which is stored on the connection. The current code won't free the rds_ibdev until all the IB connections that use it are freed. So it's safe to reference the rds_ibdev this way. In the future it also makes it easier to support proper reference counting of the rds_ibdev struct. As an additional bonus, this gets rid of the performance hit of calling in to the IB stack to look up the rds_ibdev. The current implementation in the IB stack acquires an interrupt blocking spinlock to protect the registration of client callback data. Signed-off-by: -

rds_ib_cm_handle_connect() could return without unlocking the c_conn_lock if rds_setup_qp() failed. Rather than adding another imbalanced mutex_unlock() to this error path we only unlock the mutex once as we exit the function, reducing the likelyhood of making this same mistake in the future. We remove the previous mulitple return sites, leaving one unambigious return path. Signed-off-by: -

This makes sure we have the proper number of references in rds_ib_xmit_atomic and rds_ib_xmit_rdma. We also consistently drop references the same way for all message types as the IOs end. Signed-off-by: -

The RDS send_xmit code was trying to get fancy with message counting and was dropping the final reference on the RDMA messages too early. This resulted in memory corruption and oopsen. The fix here is to always add a ref as the parts of the message passes through rds_send_xmit, and always drop a ref as the parts of the message go through completion handling. Signed-off-by: -

rds_ib_get_device is called very often as we turn an ip address into a corresponding device structure. It currently take a global spinlock as it walks different lists to find active devices. This commit changes the lists over to RCU, which isn't very complex because they are not updated very often at all. Signed-off-by: -

This removes a global waitqueue used to wait for rds messages and replaces it with a waitqueue inside the rds_message struct. The global waitqueue turns into a global lock and significantly bottlenecks operations on large machines. Signed-off-by: -

The bind_lock is almost entirely readonly, but it gets hammered during normal operations and is a major bottleneck. This commit changes it to an rwlock, which takes it from 80% of the system time on a big numa machine down to much lower numbers. A better fix would involve RCU, which is done in a later commit Signed-off-by: -

rds_send_xmit is required to loop around after it releases the lock because someone else could done a trylock, found someone working on the list and backed off. But, once we drop our lock, it is possible that someone else does come in and make progress on the list. We should detect this and not loop around if another process is actually working on the list. This patch adds a generation counter that is bumped every time we get the lock and do some send work. If the retry notices someone else has bumped the generation counter, it does not need to loop around and continue working. Signed-off-by:

The purpose of the send quota was really to give fairness when different connections were all using the same workq thread to send backlogged msgs -- they could only send so many before another connection could make progress. Now that each connection is pushing the backlog from its completion handler, they are all guaranteed to make progress and the quota isn't needed any longer. A thread *will* have to send all previously queued data, as well as any further msgs placed on the queue while while c_send_lock was held. In a pathological case a single process can get roped into doing this for long periods while other threads get off free. But, since it can only do this until the transport reports full, this is a bounded scenario. Signed-off-by: -

rds_sendmsg() is calling the send worker function to send the just-queued datagrams, presumably because it wants the behavior where anything not sent will re-call the send worker. We now ensure all queued datagrams are sent by retrying from the send completion handler, so this isn't needed any more. Signed-off-by: -
