Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 038/136] vhost_net: Avoid tx vring kicks during
busyloop
From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@....ntt.co.jp>
[ Upstream commit 027b17603b030f1334ade079b7a3e986569c956b ]
Under heavy load vhost busypoll may run without suppressing
notification. For example tx zerocopy callback can push tx work while
handle_tx() is running, then busyloop exits due to vhost_has_work()
condition and enables notification but immediately reenters handle_tx()
because the pushed work was tx. In this case handle_tx() tries to
disable notification again, but when using event_idx it by design
cannot. Then busyloop will run without suppressing notification.
Another example is the case where handle_tx() tries to enable
notification but avail idx is advanced so disables it again. This case
also leads to the same situation with event_idx.
The problem is that once we enter this situation busyloop does not work
under heavy load for considerable amount of time, because notification
is likely to happen during busyloop and handle_tx() immediately enables
notification after notification happens. Specifically busyloop detects
notification by vhost_has_work() and then handle_tx() calls
vhost_enable_notify(). Because the detected work was the tx work, it
enters handle_tx(), and enters busyloop without suppression again.
This is likely to be repeated, so with event_idx we are almost not able
to suppress notification in this case.
To fix this, poll the work instead of enabling notification when
busypoll is interrupted by something. IMHO vhost_has_work() is kind of
interruption rather than a signal to completely cancel the busypoll, so
let's run busypoll after the necessary work is done.
