On long-running enterprise production servers, high-order contiguous
memory pages are usually very rare and in most cases we can only get
fragmented pages.
When replacing TCP with SMC-R in such production scenarios, attempting
to allocate high-order physically contiguous sndbufs and RMBs may result
in frequent memory compaction, which will cause unexpected hung issue
and further stability risks.
So this patch is aimed to allow SMC-R link group to use virtually
contiguous sndbufs and RMBs to avoid potential issues mentioned above.
Whether to use physically or virtually contiguous buffers can be set
by sysctl smcr_buf_type.
Note that using virtually contiguous buffers will bring an acceptable
performance regression, which can be mainly divided into two parts:
1) regression in data path, which is brought by additional address
translation of sndbuf by RNIC in Tx. But in general, translating
address through MTT is fast.
Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, the comparisons in qperf
latency and bandwidth test with physically and virtually contiguous
buffers are as follows:
- client:
smc_run taskset -c <cpu> qperf <server> -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2\
-t 5 -vu tcp_{bw|lat}
- server:
smc_run taskset -c <cpu> qperf

2) regression in buffer initialization and destruction path, which is
brought by additional MR operations of sndbufs. But thanks to link
group buffer reuse mechanism, the impact of this kind of regression
decreases as times of buffer reuse increases.
Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, latency of some key SMC-R
buffer-related function obtained by bpftrace are as follows:
Function Phys-bufs Virt-bufs
smcr_new_buf_create() 67154 ns 79164 ns
smc_ib_buf_map_sg() 525 ns 928 ns
smc_ib_get_memory_region() 162294 ns 161191 ns
smc_wr_reg_send() 9957 ns 9635 ns
smc_ib_put_memory_region() 203548 ns 198374 ns
smc_ib_buf_unmap_sg() 508 ns 1158 ns
------------
Test environment notes:
1. Above tests run on 2 VMs within the same Host.
2. The NIC is ConnectX-4Lx, using SRIOV and passing through 2 VFs to
the each VM respectively.
3. VMs' vCPUs are binded to different physical CPUs, and the binded
physical CPUs are isolated by `isolcpus=xxx` cmdline.
4. NICs' queue number are set to 1.
