RDS: convert bind hash table to re-sizable hashtable

2015-11-02T20:36:23+00:00

To further improve the RDS connection scalabilty on massive systems where number of sockets grows into tens of thousands of sockets, there is a need of larger bind hashtable. Pre-allocated 8K or 16K table is not very flexible in terms of memory utilisation. The rhashtable infrastructure gives us the flexibility to grow the hashtbable based on use and also comes up with inbuilt efficient bucket(chain) handling.

RDS: Use per-bucket rw lock for bind hash-table

2015-09-30T16:43:25+00:00

One global lock protecting hash-tables with 1024 buckets isn't efficient and it shows up in a massive systems with truck loads of RDS sockets serving multiple databases. The perf data clearly highlights the contention on the rw lock in these massive workloads. When the contention gets worse, the code gets into a state where it decides to back off on the lock. So while it has disabled interrupts, it sits and backs off on this lock get. This causes the system to become sluggish and eventually all sorts of bad things happen. The simple fix is to move the lock into the hash bucket and use per-bucket lock to improve the scalability. Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar

RDS: make socket bind/release locking scheme simple and more efficient

2015-09-30T16:43:24+00:00

RDS bind and release locking scheme is very inefficient. It uses RCU for maintaining the bind hash-table which is great but it also needs to hold spinlock for [add/remove]_bound(). So overall usecase, the hash-table concurrent speedup doesn't pay off. In fact blocking nature of synchronize_rcu() makes the RDS socket shutdown too slow which hurts RDS performance since connection shutdown and re-connect happens quite often to maintain the RC part of the protocol. So we make the locking scheme simpler and more efficient by replacing spin_locks with reader/writer locks and getting rid off rcu for bind hash-table. In subsequent patch, we also covert the global lock with per-bucket lock to reduce the global lock contention. Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar

net/rds Add getsockopt support for SO_RDS_TRANSPORT

2015-06-01T04:47:23+00:00

The currently attached transport for a PF_RDS socket may be obtained from user space by invoking getsockopt(2) using the SO_RDS_TRANSPORT option at the SOL_RDS level. The integer optval returned will be one of the RDS_TRANS_* constants defined in linux/rds.h. Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/rds: Add setsockopt support for SO_RDS_TRANSPORT

2015-06-01T04:47:23+00:00

An application may deterministically attach the underlying transport for a PF_RDS socket by invoking setsockopt(2) with the SO_RDS_TRANSPORT option at the SOL_RDS level. The integer argument to setsockopt must be one of the RDS_TRANS_* transport types, e.g., RDS_TRANS_TCP. The option must be specified before invoking bind(2) on the socket, and may only be used once on the socket. An attempt to set the option on a bound socket, or to invoke the option after a successful SO_RDS_TRANSPORT attachment, will return EOPNOTSUPP. Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan Signed-off-by: David S.
