[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/5] bonding: locks

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/5] bonding: locks

[Bernard Iremonger]

Replace spinlock with read/write lock.
Add read/write locks where needed to protect
active_slave_count and active_slaves[].
With read/write locks in place remove memcpy of slaves.

Bernard Iremonger (5):
  bonding: replace spinlock with read/write lock
  bonding: add read/write lock to rx/tx burst functions
  bonding: remove memcopy of slaves from rx/tx burst function
  bonding: add read/write lock to stop function
  bonding: add read/write lock to the link_update function

You know an uncontested reader/writer lock is significantly slower
than a spinlock.

As we can have multiple readers of the active slave list / primary 
slave, basically any tx/rx burst call needs to protect against a device 
being removed/closed during it's operation now that we support 
hotplugging, in the worst case this could mean we have 2(rx+tx) * queues 
possibly using the active slave list simultaneously, in that case I 
would have thought that a spinlock would have a much more significant 
affect on performance?

Right, but the window where the shared variable is accessed is very small,
and it is actually faster to use spinlock for that.

I don't think that window we hold the lock is that small, let say if we have
a burst of 32 packets * (let say) 50 cycles/pkt = ~1500 cycles - each IO thread would stall.
For me that's long enough to justify rwlock usage here, especially that 
DPDK rwlock price is not much bigger (as I remember) then spinlock -
it is basically 1 CAS operation.

As another alternative we can have a spinlock per queue, then different IO threads
doing RX/XTX over different queues will be uncontended at all.
Though control thread would need to grab locks for all configured queues :)

I am preparing a v2 patchset which uses a spinlock per queue.

The patches in this set are missing any explanation for the reasons behind each
patch. The commit messages are empty for every patch.

I'm also concerned at the fact that this patchset is adding lock operations all
over the bonding PMD. While other PMDs need synchronization between control plane
and data plane threads so that e.g. you don't do IO on a stopped port, they
don't use locks so as to get max performance. Nowhere in the patchset is there
an explanation as to why bonding is so different that it needs locks where
other PMDs can do without them. This should also be explained in each individual
patch as to why the area covered by the patch needs locks in this PMD (again,
compared to other PMDs)

Thanks,
/Bruce

I will be sending a v3 for this patchset.
The empty commit messages were an oversight on my part, this will be corrected in the v3.
I will also try to explain why the locks are needed.

Regards,

Bernard.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] bonding: locks

[Bernard Iremonger]

Add spinlock to bonding rx and tx queues.
Take spinlock in rx and tx burst functions.
Take all spinlocks in slave add and remove functions.
With spinlocks in place remove memcpy of slaves.

Changes in v3:
Rebase to latest master.
Drop patches 4 and 5 from v2 patchset.
Update commit messages on patches.

Changes in v2:
Replace patch 1.
Add patch 2 and reorder patches.
Add spinlock to bonding rx and tx queues.
Take all spinlocks in slave add and remove functions.
Replace readlocks with spinlocks.

Bernard Iremonger (4):
  bonding: add spinlock to rx and tx queues
  bonding: grab queue spinlocks in slave add and remove
  bonding: take queue spinlock in rx/tx burst functions
  bonding: remove memcpy from burst functions

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/4] bonding: add spinlock to rx and tx queues

[Bernard Iremonger]

At present it is possible to add and remove slave devices from the
bonding device while traffic is running. This can result in
segmentation faults occurring in the rx and tx burst functions.
To resolve this issue spinlocks have been added to the rx and tx
queues.

Now when a slave is added or removed the rx and tx queue spinlocks
must be held.

Fixes: 2efb58cbab6e ("bond: new link bonding library")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 4/4] bonding: remove memcpy from burst functions

[Bernard Iremonger]

Now that the queue spinlocks have been added to the rx and
tx burst functions the memcpy of the slave data is no
longer necessary, so it has been removed.

Why does this particular PMD need spinlocks when doing RX and TX, while other
device types do not? How is adding/removing devices from a bonded device different
to other control operations that can be done on physical PMDs? Is this not
similar to say bringing down or hotplugging out a physical port just before an
RX or TX operation takes place?
For all other PMDs we rely on the app to synchronise control and data plane
operation - why not here?

This issue arose during VM live migration testing. 
For VM live migration it is necessary (while traffic is running) to be able to remove a bonded slave device, stop it, close it and detach it.
It a slave device is removed from a bonded device while traffic is running a segmentation fault may occur in the rx/tx burst function. The spinlock has been added to prevent this occurring.

The bonding device already uses a spinlock to synchronise between the add and remove functionality and the slave_link_status_change_monitor code. 

Previously testpmd did not allow, stop, close or detach of PMD while traffic was running. Testpmd has been modified with the following patchset 

http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/13472/

It now allows stop, close and detach of a PMD provided in it is not forwarding and is not a slave of bonded PMD.

 Regards,

Bernard.

I will admit to not being fully convinced, but if nobody else has any serious
objections, and since this patch has been reviewed and acked, I'm ok to merge it
in. I'll do so shortly.

Please hold on.
Seeing locks introduced in the Rx/Tx path is an alert.
We clearly need a design document to explain where locks can be used
and what are the responsibility of the control plane.
If everybody agrees in this document that DPDK can have some locks
in the fast path, then OK to merge it.

So I would say NACK for 16.07 and maybe postpone to 16.11.

Looking at the documentation for the bonding PMD.

http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/prog_guide/link_bonding_poll_mode_drv_lib.html

In section 10.2 it states the following:

Bonded devices support the dynamical addition and removal of slave devices using the rte_eth_bond_slave_add / rte_eth_bond_slave_remove APIs.

If a slave device is added or removed while traffic is running, there is the possibility of a segmentation fault in the rx/tx burst functions. This is most likely to occur in the round robin bonding mode.

This patch set fixes what appears to be a bug in the bonding PMD.

Performance measurements have been made with this patch set applied and without the patches applied using 64 byte packets. 

With the patches applied the following drop in performance was observed:

% drop for fwd+io:	0.16%
% drop for fwd+mac:	0.39%

This patch set has been reviewed and ack'ed, so I think it should be applied in 16.07

Bernard.

It can be fixed by removing this statement in the doc.

One of the design principle of DPDK is to avoid locks.

I understand your point of view and I gave mine.
Now we need more opinions from others.

Hi,

These patches are sitting in the patchwork for a long time. Discussion
never concluded and patches kept deferred each release.

I think we should give a decision about them:

1- We can merge them in this release, they are fixing a valid problem,
and patches are already acked.

2- We can reject them, if not having them for more than six months not
caused a problem, perhaps they are not really that required. And if
somebody needs them in the future, we can resurrect them from patchwork.

I vote for option 2, any comments?

Thanks,
ferruh
