15 years agosvcrpc: take advantage of tcp autotuning
Olga Kornievskaia [Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:13:47 +0000 (14:13 -0400)]
svcrpc: take advantage of tcp autotuning

Allow the NFSv4 server to make use of TCP autotuning behaviour, which
was previously disabled by setting the sk_userlocks variable.

Set the receive buffers to be big enough to receive the whole RPC
request, and set this for the listening socket, not the accept socket.

Remove the code that readjusts the receive/send buffer sizes for the
accepted socket. Previously this code was used to influence the TCP
window management behaviour, which is no longer needed when autotuning
is enabled.

This can improve IO bandwidth on networks with high bandwidth-delay
products, where a large tcp window is required.  It also simplifies
performance tuning, since getting adequate tcp buffers previously
required increasing the number of nfsd threads.

15 years agoknfsd: avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages
Greg Banks [Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:26:35 +0000 (21:26 +1100)]
knfsd: avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages

Avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages
when handling high call-rate NFS loads.  When the knfsd bottom half
is made aware of an incoming call by the socket layer, it tries to
choose an nfsd thread and wake it up.  As long as there are idle
threads, one will be woken up.

If there are lot of nfsd threads (a sensible configuration when
the server is disk-bound or is running an HSM), there will be many
more nfsd threads than CPUs to run them.  Under a high call-rate
low service-time workload, the result is that almost every nfsd is
runnable, but only a handful are actually able to run.  This situation
causes two significant problems:

1. The CPU scheduler takes over 10% of each CPU, which is robbing
   the nfsd threads of valuable CPU time.

2. At a high enough load, the nfsd threads starve userspace threads
   of CPU time, to the point where daemons like portmap and rpc.mountd
   do not schedule for tens of seconds at a time.  Clients attempting
   to mount an NFS filesystem timeout at the very first step (opening
   a TCP connection to portmap) because portmap cannot wake up from
   select() and call accept() in time.

Disclaimer: these effects were observed on a SLES9 kernel, modern
kernels' schedulers may behave more gracefully.

The solution is simple: keep in each svc_pool a counter of the number
of threads which have been woken but have not yet run, and do not wake
any more if that count reaches an arbitrary small threshold.

Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480
regular files in 10841 directories) on the server.  That tree is small
enough to fill in the server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved.
This setup gives a sustained call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec
before being CPU-bound on the server.  The server was running 128 nfsds.

Profiling showed schedule() taking 6.7% of every CPU, and __wake_up()
taking 5.2%.  This patch drops those contributions to 3.0% and 2.2%.
Load average was over 120 before the patch, and 20.9 after.

This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-avoid-nfsd-overload
which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006.

Greg Banks [Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:26:34 +0000 (21:26 +1100)]
knfsd: remove the nfsd thread busy histogram

Stop gathering the data that feeds the 'th' line in /proc/net/rpc/nfsd
because the questionable data provided is not worth the scalability
impact of calculating it.  Instead, always report zeroes.  The current
approach suffers from three major issues:

1. update_thread_usage() increments buckets by call service
   time or call arrival time...in jiffies.  On lightly loaded
   machines, call service times are usually < 1 jiffy; on
   heavily loaded machines call arrival times will be << 1 jiffy.
   So a large portion of the updates to the buckets are rounded
   down to zero, and the histogram is undercounting.

2. As seen previously on the nfs mailing list, the format in which
   the histogram is presented is cryptic, difficult to explain,
   and difficult to use.

3. Updating the histogram requires taking a global spinlock and
   dirtying the global variables nfsd_last_call, nfsd_busy, and
   nfsdstats *twice* on every RPC call, which is a significant
   scaling limitation.

Testing on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients each doing
1K streaming reads at full line rate, shows the stats update code
(inlined into nfsd()) takes about 1.7% of each CPU.  This patch drops
the contribution from nfsd() into the profile noise.

This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-remove-nfsd-threadstats

Short write in nfsd becomes a full write to the client

If a filesystem being written to via NFS returns a short write count
(as opposed to an error) to nfsd, nfsd treats that as a success for
the entire write, rather than the short count that actually succeeded.

For example, given a 8192 byte write, if the underlying filesystem
only writes 4096 bytes, nfsd will ack back to the nfs client that all
8192 bytes were written.  The nfs client does have retry logic for
short writes, but this is never called as the client is told the
complete write succeeded.

There are probably other ways it could happen, but in my case it
happened with a fuse (filesystem in userspace) filesystem which can
rather easily have a partial write.

2) sets attributes for the file by calling nfsd_setattr().

at step 2), it finally calls file system specific setattr() function which may
fail when checking permission because changing size needs WRITE privilege but
it has none since mode is 000.

for this case, a new file created, we may simply ignore the request of
setting size to 0, so that WRITE privilege is not needed and the open
succeeds.

is halted, but rather that the controller isn't running.  In other
words when the root hub is suspended, the hardware doesn't own any
QHs.

only partially unlinked when the root hub is frozen, then when the
root hub is thawed the QH won't be in the IDLE state.  As a result it

USB: usbfs: keep async URBs until the device file is closed

The usbfs driver manages a list of completed asynchronous URBs.  But
it is too eager to free the entries on this list: destroy_async() gets
called whenever an interface is unbound or a device is removed, and it
deallocates the outstanding struct async entries for all URBs on that
interface or device.  This is wrong; the user program should be able
to reap an URB any time after it has completed, regardless of whether
or not the interface is still bound or the device is still present.

This patch (as1222) moves the code for deallocating the completed list
entries from destroy_async() to usbdev_release().  The outstanding
entries won't be freed until the user program has closed the device
file, thereby eliminating any possibility that the remaining URBs
might still be reaped.

This fixes a bug in which a program can hang in the USBDEVFS_REAPURB
ioctl when the device is unplugged.

Commit ee6f779b9e0851e2f7da292a9f58e0095edf615a ("filp->f_pos not
correctly updated in proc_task_readdir") changed the proc code to use
filp->f_pos directly, rather than through a temporary variable.  In the
process, that caused the operations to be done on the full 64 bits, even
though the offset is never that big.

That's all fine and dandy per se, but for some unfathomable reason gcc
generates absolutely horrid code when using 64-bit values in switch()
statements.  To the point of actually calling out to gcc helper
functions like __cmpdi2 rather than just doing the trivial comparisons
directly the way gcc does for normal compares.  At which point we get
link failures, because we really don't want to support that kind of
crazy code.

Fix this by just casting the f_pos value to "unsigned long", which
is plenty big enough for /proc, and avoids the gcc code generation issue.

Linus Torvalds [Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:13:17 +0000 (08:13 -0700)]
Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error bounds

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.

The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).

However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.

So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly.  We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.

In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)

the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.

That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after

comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group".

This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced
by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()),
and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been
advanced to the first block of the next group.

However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just
set once to the first block in the group and not moved after
that.  So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(),
we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the
race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra
block.

before destroying the mempool, but the endio function doesn't
call mempool_free() until after completing the bio.

Fix it by swapping the order of those two operations.

The same problem occurs in dm.c with md referenced after dec_pending.
Again, we swap the order.

dm crypt: fix kcryptd_async_done parameter

In the async encryption-complete function (kcryptd_async_done), the
crypto_async_request passed in may be different from the one passed to
crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt/decrypt.  Only crypto_async_request->data is
guaranteed to be same as the one passed in.  The current
kcryptd_async_done uses the passed-in crypto_async_request directly
which may cause the AES-NI-based AES algorithm implementation to panic.

This patch fixes this bug by only using crypto_async_request->data,
which points to dm_crypt_request, the crypto_async_request passed in.
The original data (convert_context) is gotten from dm_crypt_request.
