When calling the flow_free() to free the flow, we call many times
(cpu_possible_mask, eg. 128 as default) cpumask_next(). That will
take up our CPU usage if we call the flow_free() frequently.
When we put all packets to userspace via upcall, and OvS will send
them back via netlink to ovs_packet_cmd_execute(will call flow_free).
The test topo is shown as below. VM01 sends TCP packets to VM02,
and OvS forward packtets. When testing, we use perf to report the
system performance.
VM01 --- OvS-VM --- VM02
Without this patch, perf-top show as below: The flow_free() is
3.02% CPU usage.
4.23% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
3.62% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq
3.16% [kernel] [k] __memcpy
3.02% [kernel] [k] flow_free
2.42% libc-2.17.so [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back
2.18% [kernel] [k] copy_user_generic_unrolled
2.17% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
When applied this patch, perf-top show as below: Not shown on
the list anymore.
4.11% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
3.79% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq
3.46% [kernel] [k] __memcpy
2.73% libc-2.17.so [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back
2.25% [kernel] [k] copy_user_generic_unrolled
1.89% libc-2.17.so [.] _int_malloc
1.53% ovs-vswitchd [.] xlate_actions
With this patch, the TCP throughput(we dont use Megaflow Cache
+ Microflow Cache) between VMs is 1.18Gbs/sec up to 1.30Gbs/sec
(maybe ~10% performance imporve).
This patch adds cpumask struct, the cpu_used_mask stores the cpu_id
that the flow used. And we only check the flow_stats on the cpu we
used, and it is unncessary to check all possible cpu when getting,
cleaning, and updating the flow_stats. Adding the cpu_used_mask to
sw_flow struct does’t increase the cacheline number.
