[PATCH V2 0/2] scis: core: avoid big pre-allocation for sg list

[PATCH V2 0/2] scis: core: avoid big pre-allocation for sg list

[Ming Lei]

Hi,

Since supporting to blk-mq, big pre-allocation for sg list is introduced,
this way is very unfriendly wrt. memory consumption.

There were Red Hat internal reports that some scsi_debug based tests
can't be run any more because of too big pre-allocation.

Also lpfc users commplained that 1GB+ ram is pre-allocatd for single
HBA.

The two patches try to address this issue by allocating sg list runtime,
meantime pre-allocating one or two inline sg entries for small IO. This
ways follows NVMe's approach wrt. sg list allocation.

V2:
	- move inline sg table initializetion into one helper
	- introduce new helper for getting inline sg
	- comment log fix

[PATCH V2 1/2] scsi: core: avoid to pre-allocate big chunk for protection meta data

[Ming Lei]

Now scsi_mq_setup_tags() pre-allocates a big buffer for protection
sg entries, and the buffer size is scsi_mq_sgl_size().

This way isn't correct, scsi_mq_sgl_size() is used to pre-allocate
sg entries for IO data. And the protection data buffer is much less,
for example, one 512byte sector needs 8byte protection data, and
the max sector number for one request is 2560(BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS),
so the max protection data size is just 20k.

The usual case is that one bio builds one single bip segment. Attribute
to bio split, bio merge is seldom done for big IO, and it is only done
in case of small bios. And protection data segment number is usually
same with bio count in the request, so the number won't be very big,
and allocating from slab is fast enough.

Reduce to pre-allocate one sg entry for protection data, and switch
to runtime allocation in case that the protection data segment number
is bigger than 1. Then we can save huge pre-alocation, for example,
500+MB is saved on single lpfc HBA.

Nipick: I usually find it easier to read if we break around conditions
instead of inside them:

	if (scsi_prot_sg_count(cmd) &&
	    cmd->prot_sdb->table.sgl != scsi_prot_inline_sg(cmd))

Hmm.  Maybe we just need to pass an nr_inline_vecs argument
to sg_alloc_table_chained to replace the SG_CHUNK_SIZE argument instead
of open coding this logic?

If we'd also pass it to sg_free_table_chained we could also simplify
those checks in all callers.

OK.

We can do that, however the current scatterlist code assumes that size
of each SGL is fixed. We may change the logic to support this feature,
seems not too difficult to do that.

Please let us know if you are fine to change the scatterlist code for
supporting customized size of the 1st SGL.


Thanks,
Ming

Especially, something like the following change is needed:

[PATCH V2 2/2] scsi: core: avoid to pre-allocate big chunk for sg list

[Ming Lei]

Now scsi_mq_setup_tags() pre-allocates a big buffer for IO sg list,
and the buffer size is scsi_mq_sgl_size() which depends on smaller
value between shost->sg_tablesize and SG_CHUNK_SIZE.

Modern HBA's DMA is often capable of deadling with very big segment
number, so scsi_mq_sgl_size() is often big. Suppose the max sg number
of SG_CHUNK_SIZE is taken, scsi_mq_sgl_size() will be 4KB.

Then if one HBA has lots of queues, and each hw queue's depth is
high, pre-allocation for sg list can consume huge memory.
For example of lpfc, nr_hw_queues can be 70, each queue's depth
can be 3781, so the pre-allocation for data sg list is 70*3781*2k
=517MB for single HBA.

There is Red Hat internal report that scsi_debug based tests can't
be run any more since legacy io path is killed because too big
pre-allocation.

So switch to runtime allocation for sg list, meantime pre-allocate 2
inline sg entries. This way has been applied to NVMe PCI for a while,
so it should be fine for SCSI too. Also runtime sg entries allocation
has verified and run always in the original legacy io path.

Not see performance effect in my big BS test on scsi_debug.
