handle_tx will delay rx for tens or even hundreds of milliseconds when tx busy polling udp packets with small length(e.g. 1byte udp payload), because setting VHOST_NET_WEIGHT takes into account only sent-bytes but no single packet length. Ping-Latencies shown below were tested between two Virtual Machines using netperf (UDP_STREAM, len=1), and then another machine pinged the client: vq size=256 Packet-Weight Ping-Latencies(millisecond) min avg max Origin 3.319 18.489 57.303 64 1.643 2.021 2.552 128 1.825 2.600 3.224 256 1.997 2.710 4.295 512 1.860 3.171 4.631 1024 2.002 4.173 9.056 2048 2.257 5.650 9.688 4096 2.093 8.508 15.943 vq size=512 Packet-Weight Ping-Latencies(millisecond) min avg max Origin 6.537 29.177 66.245 64 2.798 3.614 4.403 128 2.861 3.820 4.775 256 3.008 4.018 4.807 512 3.254 4.523 5.824 1024 3.079 5.335 7.747 2048 3.944 8.201 12.762 4096 4.158 11.057 19.985 Seems pretty consistent, a small dip at 2 VQ sizes. Ring size is a hint from device about a burst size it can tolerate. Based on benchmarks, set the weight to 2 * vq size. To evaluate this change, another tests were done using netperf(RR, TX) between two machines with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6133 CPU @ 2.50GHz, and vq size was tweaked through qemu. Results shown below does not show obvious changes. vq size=256 TCP_RR vq size=512 TCP_RR size/sessions/+thu%/+normalize% size/sessions/+thu%/+normalize% 1/ 1/ -7%/ -2% 1/ 1/ 0%/ -2% 1/ 4/ +1%/ 0% 1/ 4/ +1%/ 0% 1/ 8/ +1%/ -2% 1/ 8/ 0%/ +1% 64/ 1/ -6%/ 0% 64/ 1/ +7%/ +3% 64/ 4/ 0%/ +2% 64/ 4/ -1%/ +1% 64/ 8/ 0%/ 0% 64/ 8/ -1%/ -2% 256/ 1/ -3%/ -4% 256/ 1/ -4%/ -2% 256/ 4/ +3%/ +4% 256/ 4/ +1%/ +2% 256/ 8/ +2%/ 0% 256/ 8/ +1%/ -1% vq size=256 UDP_RR vq size=512 UDP_RR size/sessions/+thu%/+normalize% size/sessions/+thu%/+normalize% 1/ 1/ -5%/ +1% 1/ 1/ -3%/ -2% 1/ 4/ +4%/ +1% 1/ 4/ -2%/ +2% 1/ 8/ -1%/ -1% 1/ 8/ -1%/ 0% 64/ 1/ -2%/ -3% 64/ 1/ +1%/ +1% 64/ 4/ -5%/ -1% 64/ 4/ +2%/ 0% 64/ 8/ 0%/ -1% 64/ 8/ -2%/ +1% 256/ 1/ +7%/ +1% 256/ 1/ -7%/ 0% 256/ 4/ +1%/ +1% 256/ 4/ -3%/ -4% 256/ 8/ +2%/ +2% 256/ 8/ +1%/ +1% vq size=256 TCP_STREAM vq size=512 TCP_STREAM size/sessions/+thu%/+normalize% size/sessions/+thu%/+normalize% 64/ 1/ 0%/ -3% 64/ 1/ 0%/ 0% 64/ 4/ +3%/ -1% 64/ 4/ -2%/ +4% 64/ 8/ +9%/ -4% 64/ 8/ -1%/ +2% 256/ 1/ +1%/ -4% 256/ 1/ +1%/ +1% 256/ 4/ -1%/ -1% 256/ 4/ -3%/ 0% 256/ 8/ +7%/ +5% 256/ 8/ -3%/ 0% 512/ 1/ +1%/ 0% 512/ 1/ -1%/ -1% 512/ 4/ +1%/ -1% 512/ 4/ 0%/ 0% 512/ 8/ +7%/ -5% 512/ 8/ +6%/ -1% 1024/ 1/ 0%/ -1% 1024/ 1/ 0%/ +1% 1024/ 4/ +3%/ 0% 1024/ 4/ +1%/ 0% 1024/ 8/ +8%/ +5% 1024/ 8/ -1%/ 0% 2048/ 1/ +2%/ +2% 2048/ 1/ -1%/ 0% 2048/ 4/ +1%/ 0% 2048/ 4/ 0%/ -1% 2048/ 8/ -2%/ 0% 2048/ 8/ 5%/ -1% 4096/ 1/ -2%/ 0% 4096/ 1/ -2%/ 0% 4096/ 4/ +2%/ 0% 4096/ 4/ 0%/ 0% 4096/ 8/ +9%/ -2% 4096/ 8/ -5%/ -1% Acked-by: Michael S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
