The exported fs is a tmpfs. Note that iozone reports latency for a system call, not RPC round-trip. Test #1: The inline threshold is set to 1KB, and Remote Invalidation is disabled (RPC-over-RDMA Version One baseline). O_DIRECT feature enabled Microseconds/op Mode. Output is in microseconds per operation.

This means I/O payloads smaller than about 3.9KB do not use explicit RDMA at all, and no LOCAL_INV WR is needed for operations that do use RDMA. O_DIRECT feature enabled Microseconds/op Mode.

No explicit RDMA operation is involved. At 4KB and above, explicit RDMA is used with a single STag. The server invalidates each RPC's STag, so no LOCAL_INV WR is needed on the client for Test #2. The key take-aways are that: - For small payloads, NFS READ using RDMA Write with Remote Invalidation is nearly as fast as pure inline; both modes take about 40usec per RPC - The NFS READ improvement with Remote Invalidation enabled is effective even at 8KB payloads and above, but 10us is relatively small compared to other transmission costs - For small payloads, the RDMA Read round-trip still adds significant per-WRITE latency --- Chuck Lever (22): xprtrdma: Eliminate INLINE_THRESHOLD macros SUNRPC: Refactor rpc_xdr_buf_init() SUNRPC: Generalize the RPC buffer allocation API SUNRPC: Generalize the RPC buffer release API SUNRPC: Separate buffer pointers for RPC Call and Reply messages SUNRPC: Add a transport-specific private field in rpc_rqst xprtrdma: Initialize separate RPC call and reply buffers xprtrdma: Use smaller buffers for RPC-over-RDMA headers xprtrdma: Replace DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL xprtrdma: Delay DMA mapping Send and Receive buffers xprtrdma: Eliminate "ia" argument in rpcrdma_{alloc,free}_regbuf xprtrdma: Simplify rpcrdma_ep_post_recv() xprtrdma: Move send_wr to struct rpcrdma_req xprtrdma: Move recv_wr to struct rpcrdma_rep xprtrmda: Report address of frmr, not mw rpcrdma: RDMA/CM private message data structure xprtrdma: Client-side support for rpcrdma_connect_private xprtrdma: Basic support for Remote Invalidation xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline messages xprtrdma: Support larger inline thresholds xprtrdma: Rename rpcrdma_receive_wc() xprtrdma: Eliminate rpcrdma_receive_worker() include/linux/sunrpc/rpc_rdma.h | 39 ++++ include/linux/sunrpc/sched.h | 4 include/linux/sunrpc/xdr.h | 10 + include/linux/sunrpc/xprt.h | 12 + include/linux/sunrpc/xprtrdma.h | 4 net/sunrpc/backchannel_rqst.c | 8 - net/sunrpc/clnt.c | 36 +-- net/sunrpc/sched.c | 36 ++- net/sunrpc/sunrpc.h | 2 net/sunrpc/xprt.c | 2 net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/backchannel.c | 48 ++-- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/fmr_ops.c | 7 - net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/frwr_ops.c | 27 ++- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/rpc_rdma.c | 299 ++++++++++++++++++++-------- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c | 19 +- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/transport.c | 201 +++++++++++-------- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c | 238 +++++++++++++--------- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/xprt_rdma.h | 102 ++++++---- net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c | 23 +- 19 files changed, 700 insertions(+), 417 deletions(-) -- Chuck Lever
