In case the receive buffer pool was empty before, we only pass single packets to the guest this way. This can cause very bad performance if a sender is trying to stream fragmented UDP packets to the guest. For example when using the UDP_STREAM test from netperf with UDP packets that are much bigger than the MTU size, almost all UDP packets are dropped in the guest since the chances are quite high that at least one of the fragments got lost on the way. When flushing the receive queue, it's much better if we'd have a bunch of receive buffers available already, so that fragmented packets can be passed to the guest in one go. To do this, the spapr_vlan_receive() function should return 0 instead of -1 if there are no more receive buffers available, so that receive_disabled = 1 gets temporarily set for the receive queue, and we have to delay the queue flushing at the end of h_add_logical_lan_buffer() a little bit by using a timer, so that the guest gets a chance to add multiple RX buffers before we flush the queue again. This improves the UDP_STREAM test with the spapr-vlan device a lot: Running netserver -p 44444 -L -f -D -4 in the guest, and netperf -p 44444 -L -H -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -- -m 16384 in the host, I get the following values _without_ this patch: Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 229376 16384 60.00 1738970 0 3798.83 229376 60.00 23 0.05 That "0.05" means that almost all UDP packets got lost/discarded at the receiving side. With this patch applied, the value look much better: Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 229376 16384 60.00 1789104 0 3908.35 229376 60.00 22818 49.85 Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth Signed-off-by: David Gibson --- diff --git a/hw/net/spapr_llan.c b/hw/net/spapr_llan.c index a8266f8..36a9214 100644 --- a/hw/net/spapr_llan.c +++ b/hw/net/spapr_llan.c @@ -110,6 +110,7 @@ typedef struct VIOsPAPRVLANDevice { hwaddr buf_list; uint32_t add_buf_ptr, use_buf_ptr, rx_bufs; hwaddr rxq_ptr; + QEMUTimer *rxp_timer; uint32_t compat_flags; /* Compatability flags for migration */ RxBufPool *rx_pool[RX_MAX_POOLS]; /* Receive buffer descriptor pools */ } VIOsPAPRVLANDevice; @@ -206,7 +207,7 @@ static ssize_t spapr_vlan_receive(NetClientState *nc, const uint8_t *buf, } if (!dev->rx_bufs) { - return -1; + return 0; } if (dev->compat_flags & SPAPRVLAN_FLAG_RX_BUF_POOLS) { @@ -215,7 +216,7 @@ static ssize_t spapr_vlan_receive(NetClientState *nc, const uint8_t *buf, bd = spapr_vlan_get_rx_bd_from_page(dev, size); } if (!bd) { - return -1; + return 0; } dev->rx_bufs--; @@ -266,6 +267,13 @@ static NetClientInfo net_spapr_vlan_info = { .receive = spapr_vlan_receive, }; +static void spapr_vlan_flush_rx_queue(void *opaque) +{ + VIOsPAPRVLANDevice *dev = opaque; + + qemu_flush_queued_packets(qemu_get_queue(dev->nic)); +} + static void spapr_vlan_reset_rx_pool(RxBufPool *rxp) { /* @@ -302,6 +310,9 @@ static void spapr_vlan_realize(VIOsPAPRDevice *sdev, Error **errp) dev->nic = qemu_new_nic(&net_spapr_vlan_info, &dev->nicconf, object_get_typename(OBJECT(sdev)), sdev->qdev.id, dev); qemu_format_nic_info_str(qemu_get_queue(dev->nic), dev->nicconf.macaddr.a); + + dev->rxp_timer = timer_new_us(QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL, spapr_vlan_flush_rx_queue, + dev); } static void spapr_vlan_instance_init(Object *obj) @@ -332,6 +343,11 @@ static void spapr_vlan_instance_finalize(Object *obj) dev->rx_pool[i] = NULL; } } + + if (dev->rxp_timer) { + timer_del(dev->rxp_timer); + timer_free(dev->rxp_timer); + } } void spapr_vlan_create(VIOsPAPRBus *bus, NICInfo *nd) @@ -629,7 +645,13 @@ static target_ulong h_add_logical_lan_buffer(PowerPCCPU *cpu, dev->rx_bufs++; - qemu_flush_queued_packets(qemu_get_queue(dev->nic)); + /* + * Give guest some more time to add additional RX buffers before we + * flush the receive queue, so that e.g. fragmented IP packets can + * be passed to the guest in one go later (instead of passing single + * fragments if there is only one receive buffer available). + */ + timer_mod(dev->rxp_timer, qemu_clock_get_us(QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL) + 500); return H_SUCCESS; }
