[PATCH vhost v2 0/7] vdpa/mlx5: Optimze MKEY operations
From: Dragos Tatulea
Date: Fri Aug 30 2024 - 06:59:39 EST
This series improves the time of .set_map() operations by parallelizing
the MKEY creation and deletion for direct MKEYs. Looking at the top
level MKEY creation/deletion functions, the following improvement can be
seen:
|-------------------+-------------|
| operation | improvement |
|-------------------+-------------|
| create_user_mr() | 3-5x |
| destroy_user_mr() | 8x |
|-------------------+-------------|
The last part of the series introduces lazy MKEY deletion which
postpones the MKEY deletion to a later point in a workqueue.
As this series and the previous ones were targeting live migration,
we can also observe improvements on this front:
|-------------------+------------------+------------------|
| Stage | Downtime #1 (ms) | Downtime #2 (ms) |
|-------------------+------------------+------------------|
| Baseline | 3140 | 3630 |
| Parallel MKEY ops | 1200 | 2000 |
| Deferred deletion | 1014 | 1253 |
|-------------------+------------------+------------------|
Test configuration: 256 GB VM, 32 CPUs x 2 threads per core, 4 x mlx5
vDPA devices x 32 VQs (16 VQPs)
This series must be applied on top of the parallel VQ suspend/resume
series [0].
