It can lead to better performance. This has been approved in virtio user driver, on normal E5 Xeon cpu single core performance can raise 12%. http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-April/095470.html However vhost performance with packed ring performance was decreased. Through analysis, mostly extra cost was from the calculating of each descriptor flag which depended on ring wrap counter. Moreover, both frontend and backend need to write same descriptors which will cause cache contention. Especially when doing vhost enqueue function, virtio refill packed ring function may write same cache line when vhost doing enqueue function. This kind of extra cache cost will reduce the benefit of reducing cache misses. For optimizing vhost packed ring performance, vhost enqueue and dequeue function will be splitted into fast and normal path. Several methods will be taken in fast path: Uroll burst loop function into more pieces. Handle descriptors in one cache line simultaneously. Prerequisite check that whether I/O space can copy directly into mbuf space and vice versa. Prerequisite check that whether descriptor mapping is successful. Distinguish vhost used ring update function by enqueue and dequeue function. Buffer dequeue used descriptors as many as possible. Update enqueue used descriptors by cache line. Cache memory region structure for fast conversion. Disable sofware prefetch is hardware can do better. After all these methods done, single core vhost PvP performance with 64B packet on Xeon 8180 can boost 40%. v2: - Utilize compiler's pragma to unroll loop, distinguish clang/icc/gcc - Buffered dequeue used desc number changed to (RING_SZ - PKT_BURST) - Optimize dequeue used ring update when in_order negotiated Marvin Liu (16): vhost: add single packet enqueue function vhost: unify unroll pragma parameter vhost: add burst enqueue function for packed ring vhost: add single packet dequeue function vhost: add burst dequeue function vhost: rename flush shadow used ring functions vhost: flush vhost enqueue shadow ring by burst vhost: add flush function for burst enqueue vhost: buffer vhost dequeue shadow ring vhost: split enqueue and dequeue flush functions vhost: optimize enqueue function of packed ring vhost: add burst and single zero dequeue functions vhost: optimize dequeue function of packed ring vhost: cache address translation result vhost: check whether disable software pre-fetch vhost: optimize packed ring dequeue when in-order lib/librte_vhost/Makefile | 24 + lib/librte_vhost/rte_vhost.h | 27 + lib/librte_vhost/vhost.h | 33 + lib/librte_vhost/virtio_net.c | 1071 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 4 files changed, 960 insertions(+), 195 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1
