Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v4 2/4] vsock/virtio: amortize RX socket locking for stream packets
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 12:15:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-171251@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014115640.184286-3-physicalmtea@gmail.com>
> The virtio-vsock RX worker currently looks up the socket and takes its
> lock for every packet. Keep the socket lock and lookup reference across a
> bounded run of STREAM/RW packets for the same established socket.
>
> Reuse the locked socket while packets continue to match the same flow.
> End the batch for a different flow, non-RW traffic, malformed packets, or
> a change in socket state, transport, protocol, or receive-buffer headroom.
> A connected-table miss uses the existing receive path.
>
> The reused path still traces every packet, takes an skb owner reference,
> validates the source and transport, updates credit, and runs the existing
> receive state machine.
>
> Sockmap can replace the protocol without taking the socket lock. Check the
> psock marker at each packet boundary and serialize initial admission with
> sk_callback_lock, so a concurrent attach ends batching at the next packet.
>
> Cap a batch at 64 packets and 64K of payload. The packet limit bounds
> per-packet work, while the byte limit bounds how much data can queue before
> a reader acquires the socket lock. Batching remains in the process-context
> RX worker.
