Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] virtio-net: use mtu size as buffer length for big packets
Currently add_recvbuf_big() allocates MAX_SKB_FRAGS segments for big
packets even when GUEST_* offloads are not present on the device.
However, if guest GSO is not supported, it would be sufficient to
allocate segments to cover just up the MTU size and no further.
Allocating the maximum amount of segments results in a large waste of
buffer space in the queue, which limits the number of packets that can
be buffered and can result in reduced performance.
Therefore, if guest GSO is not supported, use the MTU to calculate the
optimal amount of segments required.
When guest offload is enabled at runtime, RQ already has packets of bytes
less than 64K. So when packet of 64KB arrives, all the packets of such
size will be dropped. and RQ is now not usable.
So this means that during set_guest_offloads() phase, RQs have to be
destroyed and recreated, which requires almost driver reload.
If VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS has been negotiated, then it should
always treat them as GSO enabled.
Below is the iperf TCP test results over a Mellanox NIC, using vDPA for
1 VQ, queue size 1024, before and after the change, with the iperf
server running over the virtio-net interface.
