Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/5] Add non-blocking ring
Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2019 05:20:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AM6PR08MB36720B4B3DF404EAEC9FDACE989B0@AM6PR08MB3672.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190118152326.22686-1-gage.eads@intel.com>
Hi Gage,
Thank you for this patch. Arm (Ola Liljedahl) had worked on a non-blocking ring algorithm. We were planning to add it to DPDK at some point this year. I am wondering if you would be open to take a look at the algorithm and collaborate?
I am yet to fully understand both the algorithms. But, Ola has reviewed your patch and can provide a quick overview of the differences here.
If you agree, we can send a RFC patch. You can review that and do performance benchmarking on your platforms. I can also benchmark your patch (may be once you fix the issue identified in __rte_ring_do_nb_enqueue_mp function?) on Arm platforms. May be we can end up with a better combined algorithm.
Hi Thomas/Bruce,
Please let me know if this is ok and if there is a better way to do this.
Thank you,
Honnappa

> For some users, the rte ring's "non-preemptive" constraint is not acceptable;

> Crucially, the non-blocking algorithm relies on a 128-bit compare-and-swap,

> With no contention, an enqueue of n pointers uses (1 + 2n) CAS operations
> and a dequeue of n pointers uses 2. This algorithm has worse average-case
> performance than the regular rte ring (particularly a highly-contended ring
> with large bulk accesses), however:
> - For applications with preemptible pthreads, the regular rte ring's worst-case
> performance (i.e. one thread being preempted in the update_tail() critical
> section) is much worse than the non-blocking ring's.
> - Software caching can mitigate the average case performance for ring-based
> algorithms. For example, a non-blocking ring based mempool (a likely use
> case

>
> The non-blocking ring is enabled via a new flag, RING_F_NB. For ease-of-use,
> existing ring enqueue/dequeue functions work with both "regular" and non-
> blocking rings.
>
> This patchset also adds non-blocking versions of ring_autotest and
> ring_perf_autotest, and a non-blocking ring based mempool.
>
> This patchset makes one API change; a deprecation notice will be posted in a

> This patchset depends on the non-blocking stack patchset[1].

> v3:
> - Avoid the ABI break by putting 64-bit head and tail values in the same
> cacheline as struct rte_ring's prod and cons members.
> - Don't attempt to compile rte_atomic128_cmpset without
> ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API, as this would break a large number of libraries.
> - Add a helpful warning to __rte_ring_do_nb_enqueue_mp() in case someone
> tries

> - Update the ring mempool to use experimental APIs
> - Clarify that RINB_F_NB is only limited to x86_64 currently; ARMv8.1-A

> v2:
> - Merge separate docs commit into patch #5
> - Convert uintptr_t to size_t
