Subject: [net-next PATCH 0/6] net: frag performance tuning cachelines for
NUMA/SMP systems
This patchset is a new partly respin of my fragmentation optimization
patches: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/250914
This is not the complete patchset, from previously. In this patchset,
I primarily focus on adjusting cacheline for better SMP/NUMA
performance.
Once this patchset have been agreed upon, I will continue and respin
the rest of my patches.
This time around, I have created a frag DoS generator, via the tool
trafgen (http://netsniff-ng.org/). To create a stable DoS scenario
(no longer relying on frame dropping due to disabled flow-control).
Two 10G interfaces are under-test, and uses Ethernet flow-control. A
third interface is used for generating the DoS attack (this interface
is also 10G, but it does not need to be, as 500Kpps DoS is enough).
Test types summary (netperf):
Test-20G64K == 2x10G with 65K fragments
Test-20G3F == 2x10G with 3x fragments (3*1472 bytes)
Test-20G64K+DoS == Same as 20G64K with frag DoS
Test-20G3F+DoS == Same as 20G3F with frag DoS
Patch list:
Patch-01 - net: cacheline adjust struct netns_frags for better frag performance
Patch-02 - net: cacheline adjust struct inet_frags for better frag performance
Patch-03 - net: cacheline adjust struct inet_frag_queue
Patch-04 - net: frag helper functions for mem limit tracking
Patch-05 - net: use lib/percpu_counter API for fragmentation mem accounting
Patch-06 - net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of rwlock
Performance table summary:
Test-type: Test-20G64K Test-20G3F 20G64K+DoS 20G3F+DoS
---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------
net-next: 15114.5 Mbit/s 8954.21 2444.28 3918.01 Mbit/s
Patch-01: 16075.8 Mbit/s 8976.18 2621.49 4072.79 Mbit/s
Patch-02: 17806.9 Mbit/s 9280.32 2478.62 4274.59 Mbit/s
Patch-03: 17317.4 Mbit/s 9308.62 2546.05 4336.59 Mbit/s
Patch-04: 17635.9 Mbit/s 9256.16 2535.25 4327.63 Mbit/s
Patch-05: 18027.0 Mbit/s 9918.99 2492.62 3621.68 Mbit/s
Patch-06: 18486.7 Mbit/s 10723.20 3657.85 4560.64 Mbit/s
I cannot explain the under-DoS regression that patch-05/percpu_counter
introduces. But patch-06/LRU-lock corrects the situation again.
Below is a testlab setup description, with links to the trafgen DoS
packet config used.

Server setup
------------
The machine acting as a server:
- 2x CPU (E5-2630)
- Thus a NUMA arch/machine
- 4x 10Gbit/s ports
- NICs 2x Intel Dual port 82599 based (driver ixgbe)
Setup:
- Interfaces uses Ethernet flow control
- Flush all iptables
- Remove all iptables related module.
- Kill irqbalance
- Pin each 10G NIC port to a *single* CPU each
Pinning can easily be done by command hacks::
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth8*/../smp_affinity_list ; do echo 1 > $x; done
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth9*/../smp_affinity_list ; do echo 3 > $x; done
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth31*/../smp_affinity_list; do echo 6 > $x; done
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth32*/../smp_affinity_list; do echo 8 > $x; done
Notice NUMA setting: The CPU to NIC tying is carefully choosen
according to the NUMA node setup. Thus, NICs connected to a PCI-e
slot that is connected to a physical CPU socket are tied together.
Choosing only a single CPU per NIC (port) is just to ease provoking
and debugging this performance issue. (In real setups, you can choose
more CPU, just remember the NUMA node in the equation).
Tools
-----
Netperf is used, with option -T to ensure CPU binding.
The netserver processes, are NAPI pinned::
numactl -m0 -c0 netserver
numactl -m1 -c 1 netserver -p 1337
I now have a frag DoS generator, created via the tool:
trafgen (see: http://netsniff-ng.org/)
Trafgen packet config file:
http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/frag_work/trafgen/frag_packet03_small_frag.txf
Notice, I'm using features of trafgen, recently developed by Daniel
Borkmann, thus you need the latest git tree to use my trafgen packet
config.
git://github.com/borkmann/netsniff-ng.git
Command line:
trafgen --dev eth51 --conf frag_packet03_small_frag.txf -V -k 100 --cpus 2
