Subject: [PATCH] IPVS: Allow boot time change of hash size.
From: Catalin(ux) M. BOIE <catab@...edromix.ro>
IPVS: Allow boot time change of hash size.
I was very frustrated about the fact that I have to recompile the kernel
to change the hash size. So, I created this patch.
If IPVS is built-in you can append ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=?? to kernel
command line, or, if you built IPVS as modules, you can add
options ip_vs conn_tab_bits=??.
To keep everything backward compatible, you still can select the size at
compile time, and that will be used as default.

Patrick, please consider applying this. I'd like to do something dynamic.
But this change is an obvious win in the mean time.
It has been about a year since this patch was originally posted
and subsequently dropped on the basis of insufficient test data.
Mark Bergsma has provided the following test results which seem
to strongly support the need for larger hash table sizes:
We do however run into the same problem with the default setting (2^12 =
4096 entries), as most of our LVS balancers handle around a million
connections/SLAB entries at any point in time (around 100-150 kpps
load). With only 4096 hash table entries this implies that each entry
consists of a linked list of 256 connections *on average*.
To provide some statistics, I did an oprofile run on an 2.6.31 kernel,
with both the default 4096 table size, and the same kernel recompiled
with IP_VS_CONN_TAB_BITS set to 18 (2^18 = 262144 entries). I built a
quick test setup with a part of Wikimedia/Wikipedia's live traffic
mirrored by the switch to the test host.
With the default setting, at ~ 120 kpps packet load we saw a typical %si
CPU usage of around 30-35%, and oprofile reported a hot spot in
ip_vs_conn_in_get:
samples % image name app name
symbol name
1719761 42.3741 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get
302577 7.4554 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2
181984 4.4840 vmlinux vmlinux __ticket_spin_lock
128636 3.1695 vmlinux vmlinux ip_route_input
74345 1.8318 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_out_get
68482 1.6874 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle
After loading the recompiled kernel with 2^18 entries, %si CPU usage
dropped in half to around 12-18%, and oprofile looks much healthier,
with only 7% spent in ip_vs_conn_in_get:
samples % image name app name
symbol name
