hulk inclusion category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I7ASVH CVE: NA --------------------------------------- In fio test with iodepth=256 with allowd cpus to 0-255, we observe a serve performance decrease. The statistic of cache hit rate are relatively low. Here are some statistics about the iova_cpu_rcahe of all cpus: iova alloc order 0 1 2 3 4 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- average cpu_rcache hit rate 0.9941 0.7408 0.8109 0.8854 0.9082 0.8887 Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][20.0%][r=1091MiB/s][r=279k IOPS][eta 00m:28s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][22.2%][r=1426MiB/s][r=365k IOPS][eta 00m:28s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][25.0%][r=1607MiB/s][r=411k IOPS][eta 00m:27s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][27.8%][r=1501MiB/s][r=384k IOPS][eta 00m:26s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][30.6%][r=1486MiB/s][r=380k IOPS][eta 00m:25s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][33.3%][r=1393MiB/s][r=357k IOPS][eta 00m:24s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][36.1%][r=1550MiB/s][r=397k IOPS][eta 00m:23s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][38.9%][r=1485MiB/s][r=380k IOPS][eta 00m:22s] The under lying hisi sas driver has 16 thread irqs to free iova, but these irq call back function will only free iovas on 16 certain cpus(cpu{0, 16,32...,240}). For example, thread irq which smp affinity is 0-15, will only free iova on cpu 0. However, the driver will alloc iova on all cpus(cpu{0-255}), cpus without free iova in local cpu_rcache need to get free iovas from iova_rcache->depot. The current size of iova_rcache->depot max size is 32, and it seems to be too small for 256 users (16 cpus will put iovas to iova_rcache->depot and 240 cpus will try to get iova from it). Set iova_rcache->depot to 128 can fix the performance issue, and the performance can return to normal. iova alloc order 0 1 2 3 4 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- average cpu_rcache hit rate 0.9925 0.9736 0.9789 0.9867 0.9889 0.9906 Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][12.9%][r=7526MiB/s][r=1927k IOPS][eta 04m:30s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][13.2%][r=7527MiB/s][r=1927k IOPS][eta 04m:29s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][13.5%][r=7529MiB/s][r=1927k IOPS][eta 04m:28s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][13.9%][r=7531MiB/s][r=1928k IOPS][eta 04m:27s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][14.2%][r=7529MiB/s][r=1928k IOPS][eta 04m:26s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][14.5%][r=7528MiB/s][r=1927k IOPS][eta 04m:25s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][14.8%][r=7527MiB/s][r=1927k IOPS][eta 04m:24s] Jobs: 12 (f=12): [R(12)][15.2%][r=7525MiB/s][r=1926k IOPS][eta 04m:23s] Signed-off-by: Zhang Zekun <zhangzekun11@huawei.com> --- include/linux/iova.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/iova.h b/include/linux/iova.h index dfa51ae49666..5f7029f3d0f2 100644 --- a/include/linux/iova.h +++ b/include/linux/iova.h @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ struct iova_magazine; struct iova_cpu_rcache; #define IOVA_RANGE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE 6 /* log of max cached IOVA range size (in pages) */ -#define MAX_GLOBAL_MAGS 32 /* magazines per bin */ +#define MAX_GLOBAL_MAGS 128 /* magazines per bin */ struct iova_rcache { spinlock_t lock; -- 2.17.1
