  To: netdev; +Cc: David S. Miller, Eric Dumazet

This patch series implement an idea suggested by Eric Dumazet to
reduce the contention of the udp sk_receive_queue lock when the socket is
under flood.

An ancillary queue is added to the udp socket, and the socket always
tries first to read packets from such queue. If it's empty, we splice
the content from sk_receive_queue into the ancillary queue.

The first patch introduces some helpers to keep the udp code small, and the
following two implement the ancillary queue strategy. The code is split
to hopefully help the reviewing process.

The measured overall gain under udp flood is in the 20-35% range depending on
the numa layout and the number of ingress queue used by the relevant nic.

On a single numa node host, the peak tput is now reached when the traffic
targeting the udp socket uses multiple nic rx queues, while on current net-next
the tput always decreases when moving from a single rx queue to multiple ones.

  net/sock: factor out dequeue/peek with offset code
  udp: use a separate rx queue for packet reception
  udp: keep the sk_receive_queue held when splicing

And update __sk_queue_drop_skb() to work on the specified queue.
This will help the udp protocol to use an additional private
rx queue in a later patch.

under udp flood the sk_receive_queue spinlock is heavily contended.
This patch try to reduce the contention on such lock adding a
second receive queue to the udp sockets; recvmsg() looks first
in such queue and, only if empty, tries to fetch the data from
sk_receive_queue. The latter is spliced into the newly added
queue every time the receive path has to acquire the
sk_receive_queue lock.

The accounting of forward allocated memory is still protected with
the sk_receive_queue lock, so udp_rmem_release() needs to acquire
both locks when the forward deficit is flushed.

On specific scenarios we can end up acquiring and releasing the
sk_receive_queue lock multiple times; that will be covered by
the next patch

On packet reception, when we are forced to splice the
sk_receive_queue, we can keep the related lock held, so
that we can avoid re-acquiring it, if fwd memory
scheduling is required.

Certainly sounds good, but can you give real reproducible performance
numbers including the test that was run?

You are right, and I'm sorry, the cover letter was too terse.

I used pktgen as sender, with 64 bytes packets, random src port on an
host b2b connected via a 10Gbs link with the dut.

On the receiver I used the udp_sink program by Jesper (https://github.c
om/netoptimizer/network-testing/blob/master/src/udp_sink.c) and I
configured an h/w l4 rx hash, so that I could control the number of
ingress nic rx queues hit by the udp traffic via ethtool -L.

The udp_sink program was bound to the first idle cpu, to get more
stable numbers.

Using a single numa note as receiver, I got the following:

nic rx queues		vanilla			patched kernel
1			1820 kpps		1900 kpps
2			1950 kpps		2500 kpps
16			1670 kpps		2120 kpps

When using a single nic rx queue I also enabled busy polling;
elsewhere, in my scenario, the bh processing becames the bottle-neck
and this produces large artifacts in the measured performances (e.g.
improving the udp sink run time, decreases the overall tput, since more
action from the scheduler comes into play).

Cheers,

Paolo
