Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 00/11] net/smc: SMC intra-OS shortcut with loopback-ism
This patch set acts as the second part of the new version of [1] (The first
part can be referred from [2]), the updated things of this version are listed
at the end.
- Background
SMC-D is now used in IBM z with ISM function to optimize network interconnect
for intra-CPC communications. Inspired by this, we try to make SMC-D available
on the non-s390 architecture through a software-implemented Emulated-ISM device,
that is the loopback-ism device here, to accelerate inter-process or
inter-containers communication within the same OS instance.
- Design
This patch set includes 3 parts:
- Patch #1: some prepare work for loopback-ism.
- Patch #2-#7: implement loopback-ism device and adapt SMC-D for it.
loopback-ism now serves only SMC and no userspace interfaces exposed.
- Patch #8-#11: memory copy optimization for intra-OS scenario.
The loopback-ism device is designed as an ISMv2 device and not be limited to
a specific net namespace, ends of both inter-process connection (1/1' in diagram
below) or inter-container connection (2/2' in diagram below) can find the same
available loopback-ism and choose it during the CLC handshake.

loopback-ism device creates DMBs (shared memory) for each connection peer.
Since data transfer occurs within the same kernel, the sndbuf of each peer
is only a descriptor and point to the same memory region as peer DMB, so that
the data copy from sndbuf to peer DMB can be avoided in loopback-ism case.

Change log:
v6->RFC v5
- Patch #2: make the use of CONFIG_SMC_LO cleaner.
- Patch #5: mark some smcd_ops that loopback-ism doesn't support as
optional and check for the support when they are called.
- Patch #7: keep loopback-ism at the beginning of the SMC-D device list.
- Some expression changes in commit logs and comments.
RFC v5->RFC v4:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240324135522.108564-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- Patch #2: minor changes in description of config SMC_LO and comments.
- Patch #10: minor changes in comments and if(smc_ism_support_dmb_nocopy())
check in smcd_cdc_msg_send().
- Patch #3: change smc_lo_generate_id() to smc_lo_generate_ids() and SMC_LO_CHID
to SMC_LO_RESERVED_CHID.
- Patch #5: memcpy while holding the ldev->dmb_ht_lock.
- Some expression changes in commit logs.
RFC v4->v3:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240317100545.96663-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- The merge window of v6.9 is open, so post this series as an RFC.
- Patch #6: since some information fed back by smc_nl_handle_smcd_dev() dose
not apply to Emulated-ISM (including loopback-ism here), loopback-ism is
not exposed through smc netlink for the time being. we may refactor this
part when smc netlink interface is updated.
v3->v2:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240312142743.41406-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- Patch #11: use tasklet_schedule(&conn->rx_tsklet) instead of smcd_cdc_rx_handler()
to avoid possible recursive locking of conn->send_lock and use {read|write}_lock_bh()
to acquire dmb_ht_lock.
v2->v1:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240307095536.29648-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- All the patches: changed the term virtual-ISM to Emulated-ISM as defined by SMCv2.1.
- Patch #3: optimized the description of SMC_LO config. Avoid exposing loopback-ism
to sysfs and remove all the knobs until future definition clear.
- Patch #3: try to make lockdep happy by using read_lock_bh() in smc_lo_move_data().
- Patch #6: defaultly use physical contiguous DMB buffers.
- Patch #11: defaultly enable DMB no-copy for loopback-ism and free the DMB in
unregister_dmb or detach_dmb when dmb_node->refcnt reaches 0, instead of using
wait_event to keep waiting in unregister_dmb.
v1->RFC:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240111120036.109903-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- Patch #9: merge rx_bytes and tx_bytes as xfer_bytes statistics:
/sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/xfer_bytes
- Patch #10: add support_dmb_nocopy operation to check if SMC-D device supports
merging sndbuf with peer DMB.
- Patch #13 & #14: introduce loopback-ism device control of DMB memory type and
control of whether to merge sndbuf and DMB. They can be respectively set by:
/sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_type
/sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_copy
The motivation for these two control is that a performance bottleneck was
found when using vzalloced DMB and sndbuf is merged with DMB, and there are
many CPUs and CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is set [4]. The bottleneck is caused
by the lock contention in vmap_area_lock [5] which is involved in memcpy_from_msg()
or memcpy_to_msg(). Currently, Uladzislau Rezki is working on mitigating the
vmap lock contention [6]. It has significant effects, but using virtual memory
still has additional overhead compared to using physical memory.
So this new version provides controls of dmb_type and dmb_copy to suit
different scenarios.
- Some minor changes and comments improvements.
RFC->old version([1]):
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1702214654-32069-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
