Subject: [PATCH 1/1] SUNRPC: increase size of rpc_wait_queue.qlen from unsigned short to unsigned int
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2024 11:38:25 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1706643505-31122-1-git-send-email-dai.ngo@oracle.com> (raw)

When the NFS client is under extreme load the rpc_wait_queue.qlen counter
can be overflowed. Here is an instant of the backlog queue overflow in a
real world environment shown by drgn helper:

rpc_task_stats(rpc_clnt):
-------------------------
rpc_clnt: 0xffff92b65d2bae00
rpc_xprt: 0xffff9275db64f000
  Queue:  sending[64887] pending[524] backlog[30441] binding[0]
XMIT task: 0xffff925c6b1d8e98
     WRITE: 750654
        __dta_call_status_580: 65463
        __dta_call_transmit_status_579: 1
        call_reserveresult: 685189
        nfs_client_init_is_complete: 1
    COMMIT: 584
        call_reserveresult: 573
        __dta_call_status_580: 11
    ACCESS: 1
        __dta_call_status_580: 1
   GETATTR: 10
        __dta_call_status_580: 4
        call_reserveresult: 6
751249 tasks for server 111.222.333.444
Total tasks: 751249

count_rpc_wait_queues(xprt):
----------------------------
**** rpc_xprt: 0xffff9275db64f000 num_reqs: 65511
wait_queue: xprt_binding[0] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_binding[1] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_binding[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_binding[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_binding].qlen: 0 maxpriority: 0
wait_queue: xprt_sending[0] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_sending[1] cnt: 64887
wait_queue: xprt_sending[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_sending[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_sending].qlen: 64887 maxpriority: 3
wait_queue: xprt_pending[0] cnt: 524
wait_queue: xprt_pending[1] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_pending[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_pending[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_pending].qlen: 524 maxpriority: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[0] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[1] cnt: 685801
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_backlog].qlen: 30441 maxpriority: 3 [task cnt mismatch]

There is no effect on operations when this overflow occurs. However
it causes confusion when trying to diagnose the performance problem.
