Subject: [RFC net-next 6/6] selftests: drv-net: measure devmem performance with kperf
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 12:04:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916190409.1222272-7-sdf@fomichev.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916190409.1222272-1-sdf@fomichev.me>
Add devmem performance test using kperf and SystemMonitor.
Tested on two mlx5 hosts. Benchmark metric output:
# # ktap-metric-policy-json: {"name":"throughput","regression":{"better":"higher","compare":"p50","relative_tolerance":0.05},"summarize":"distribution"}
# # ktap-metric-policy-json: {"name":"tcp.retransmits","summarize":"max"}
# # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"remote","name":"throughput","shape":"scalar","time":20.457972,"value":321.225}
# # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"remote","name":"tcp.retransmits","shape":"scalar","time":20.457989,"value":903.0}
# # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"local","name":"throughput","shape":"scalar","time":20.457993,"value":321.16499999999996}
# # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"local","name":"tcp.retransmits","shape":"scalar","time":20.457998,"value":0.0}
# ok 6 devmem.check_kperf
# # Totals: pass:5 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0
Note this is still CUDA (because 4K udmabuf needs my posted genpool
changes), will move to udmabuf once the genpoll stuff lands.
