A 3-part patchset that (a) improves current RDS-TCP perf by 2X-3X and (b) refactors earlier robustness code for better observability/scaling.
Patch 1 is an enhancment of earlier robustness fixes that had used separate sockets for client and server endpoints to resolve race conditions. It is possible to have an equivalent solution that does not use 2 sockets. The benefit of a single socket solution is that it results in more predictable and observable behavior for the underlying TCP pipe of an RDS connection Patches 2 and 3 are simple, straightforward perf bug fixes that align the RDS TCP socket with other parts of the kernel stack. v2: fix kbuild-test-robot warnings, comments from Sergei Shtylov and Santosh Shilimkar. Sowmini Varadhan (3): Use a single TCP socket for both send and receive. Do not bloat sndbuf/rcvbuf in rds_tcp_tune Set up MSG_MORE and MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST as appropriate in rds_tcp_xmit net/rds/connection.c | 22 ++++++---------------- net/rds/rds.h | 4 +++- net/rds/tcp.c | 16 ++++------------ net/rds/tcp_listen.c | 22 +++++++++------------- net/rds/tcp_send.c | 8 +++++++- 5 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
