Currently, when the sendctx queue is exhausted during marshaling, the
RPC/RDMA transport places the RPC task on the delayq, which forces a
wait for HZ >> 2 before the marshal and send is retried.
With this change, the transport now places such an RPC task on the
pending queue, and wakes it just as soon as more sendctxs become
available. This typically takes less than a millisecond, and the
write_space waking mechanism is less deadlock-prone.
Moreover, the waiting RPC task is holding the transport's write
lock, which blocks the transport from sending RPCs. Therefore faster
recovery from sendctx queue exhaustion is desirable.

Receive completion and Reply handling are done by a BOUND
workqueue, meaning they run on only one CPU.
Posting receives is currently done in the send_request path, which
on large systems is typically done on a different CPU than the one
handling Receive completions. This results in movement of
Receive-related cachelines between the sending and receiving CPUs.
More importantly, it means that currently Receives are posted while
the transport's write lock is held, which is unnecessary and costly.
Finally, allocation of Receive buffers is performed on-demand in
the Receive completion handler. This helps guarantee that they are
allocated on the same NUMA node as the CPU that handles Receive
completions.

The ro_release_mr methods check whether mr->mr_list is empty.
Therefore, be sure to always use list_del_init when removing an MR
linked into a list using that field. Otherwise, when recovering from
transport failures or device removal, list corruption can result, or
MRs can get mapped or unmapped an odd number of times, resulting in
IOMMU-related failures.
In general this fix is appropriate back to v4.8. However, code
changes since then make it impossible to apply this patch directly
to stable kernels. The fix would have to be applied by hand or
reworked for kernels earlier than v4.16.
Backport guidance -- there are several cases:
- When creating an MR, initialize mr_list so that using list_empty
on an as-yet-unused MR is safe.
- When an MR is being handled by the remote invalidation path,
ensure that mr_list is reinitialized when it is removed from
rl_registered.
- When an MR is being handled by rpcrdma_destroy_mrs, it is removed
from mr_all, but it may still be on an rl_registered list. In
that case, the MR needs to be removed from that list before being
released.
- Other cases are covered by using list_del_init in rpcrdma_mr_pop.

With v4.15, on one of my NFS/RDMA clients I measured a nearly
doubling in the latency of small read and write system calls. There
was no change in server round trip time. The extra latency appears
in the whole RPC execution path.
"git bisect" settled on commit ccede75985 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply
processing over more CPUs") .
After some experimentation, I found that leaving the WQ bound and
allowing the scheduler to pick the dispatch CPU seems to eliminate
the long latencies, and it does not introduce any new regressions.
The fix is implemented by reverting only the part of
commit ccede75985 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over more
CPUs") that dispatches RPC replies specifically on the CPU where the
matching RPC call was made.
Interestingly, saving the CPU number and later queuing reply
processing there was effective _only_ for a NFS READ and WRITE
request. On my NUMA client, in-kernel RPC reply processing for
asynchronous RPCs was dispatched on the same CPU where the RPC call
was made, as expected. However synchronous RPCs seem to get their
reply dispatched on some other CPU than where the call was placed,
every time.

Clean up: struct rpcrdma_mw was named after Memory Windows, but
xprtrdma no longer supports a Memory Window registration mode.
Rename rpcrdma_mw and its fields to reduce confusion and make
the code more sensible to read.
Renaming "mw" was suggested by Tom Talpey, the author of the
original xprtrdma implementation. It's a good idea, but I haven't
done this until now because it's a huge diffstat for no benefit
other than code readability.
However, I'm about to introduce static trace points that expose
a few of xprtrdma's internal data structures. They should make sense
in the trace report, and it's reasonable to treat trace points as a
kernel API contract which might be difficult to change later.
While I'm churning things up, two additional changes:
- rename variables unhelpfully called "r" to "mr", to improve code
clarity, and
- rename the MR-related helper functions using the form
"rpcrdma_mr_<verb>", to be consistent with other areas of the
code.

The backchannel code uses rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put to add new reps
to the free rep list. This also decrements rb_recv_count, which
spoofs the receive overrun logic in rpcrdma_buffer_get_rep.
Commit 9b06688bc3 ("xprtrdma: Fix additional uses of
spin_lock_irqsave(rb_lock)") replaced the original open-coded
list_add with a call to rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put(), but then a year
later, commit 05c974669e ("xprtrdma: Fix receive buffer
accounting") added rep accounting to rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put.
It was an oversight to let the backchannel continue to use this
function.
The fix this, let's combine the "add to free list" logic with
rpcrdma_create_rep.
Also, do not allocate RPCRDMA_MAX_BC_REQUESTS rpcrdma_reps in
rpcrdma_buffer_create and then allocate additional rpcrdma_reps in
rpcrdma_bc_setup_reps. Allocating the extra reps during backchannel
set-up is sufficient.

Commit d8f532d20e ("xprtrdma: Invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler
directly from RECV completion") introduced a performance regression
for NFS I/O small enough to not need memory registration. In multi-
threaded benchmarks that generate primarily small I/O requests,
IOPS throughput is reduced by nearly a third. This patch restores
the previous level of throughput.
Because workqueues are typically BOUND (in particular ib_comp_wq,
nfsiod_workqueue, and rpciod_workqueue), NFS/RDMA workloads tend
to aggregate on the CPU that is handling Receive completions.
The usual approach to addressing this problem is to create a QP
and CQ for each CPU, and then schedule transactions on the QP
for the CPU where you want the transaction to complete. The
transaction then does not require an extra context switch during
completion to end up on the same CPU where the transaction was
started.
This approach doesn't work for the Linux NFS/RDMA client because
currently the Linux NFS client does not support multiple connections
per client-server pair, and the RDMA core API does not make it
straightforward for ULPs to determine which CPU is responsible for
handling Receive completions for a CQ.
So for the moment, record the CPU number in the rpcrdma_req before
the transport sends each RPC Call. Then during Receive completion,
queue the RPC completion on that same CPU.
Additionally, move all RPC completion processing to the deferred
handler so that even RPCs with simple small replies complete on
the CPU that sent the corresponding RPC Call.

When an RPC Call includes a file data payload, that payload can come
from pages in the page cache, or a user buffer (for direct I/O).
If the payload can fit inline, xprtrdma includes it in the Send
using a scatter-gather technique. xprtrdma mustn't allow the RPC
consumer to re-use the memory where that payload resides before the
Send completes. Otherwise, the new contents of that memory would be
exposed by an HCA retransmit of the Send operation.
So, block RPC completion on Send completion, but only in the case
where a separate file data payload is part of the Send. This
prevents the reuse of that memory while it is still part of a Send
operation without an undue cost to other cases.
Waiting is avoided in the common case because typically the Send
will have completed long before the RPC Reply arrives.
These days, an RPC timeout will trigger a disconnect, which tears
down the QP. The disconnect flushes all waiting Sends. This bounds
the amount of time the reply handler has to wait for a Send
completion.

Problem statement:
Recently Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> observed that kernel RDMA-
enabled storage initiators don't handle delayed Send completion
correctly. If Send completion is delayed beyond the end of a ULP
transaction, the ULP may release resources that are still being used
by the HCA to complete a long-running Send operation.
This is a common design trait amongst our initiators. Most Send
operations are faster than the ULP transaction they are part of.
Waiting for a completion for these is typically unnecessary.
Infrequently, a network partition or some other problem crops up
where an ordering problem can occur. In NFS parlance, the RPC Reply
arrives and completes the RPC, but the HCA is still retrying the
Send WR that conveyed the RPC Call. In this case, the HCA can try
to use memory that has been invalidated or DMA unmapped, and the
connection is lost. If that memory has been re-used for something
else (possibly not related to NFS), and the Send retransmission
exposes that data on the wire.
Thus we cannot assume that it is safe to release Send-related
resources just because a ULP reply has arrived.
After some analysis, we have determined that the completion
housekeeping will not be difficult for xprtrdma:
- Inline Send buffers are registered via the local DMA key, and
are already left DMA mapped for the lifetime of a transport
connection, thus no additional handling is necessary for those
- Gathered Sends involving page cache pages _will_ need to
DMA unmap those pages after the Send completes. But like
inline send buffers, they are registered via the local DMA key,
and thus will not need to be invalidated
In addition, RPC completion will need to wait for Send completion
in the latter case. However, nearly always, the Send that conveys
the RPC Call will have completed long before the RPC Reply
arrives, and thus no additional latency will be accrued.
Design notes:
In this patch, the rpcrdma_sendctx object is introduced, and a
lock-free circular queue is added to manage a set of them per
transport.
The RPC client's send path already prevents sending more than one
RPC Call at the same time. This allows us to treat the consumer
side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked) as if there is a
single consumer thread.
The producer side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked) is
invoked only from the Send completion handler, which is a single
thread of execution (soft IRQ).
The only care that needs to be taken is with the tail index, which
is shared between the producer and consumer. Only the producer
updates the tail index. The consumer compares the head with the
tail to ensure that the a sendctx that is in use is never handed
out again (or, expressed more conventionally, the queue is empty).
When the sendctx queue empties completely, there are enough Sends
outstanding that posting more Send operations can result in a Send
Queue overflow. In this case, the ULP is told to wait and try again.
This introduces strong Send Queue accounting to xprtrdma.
As a final touch, Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com>
suggested a mechanism that does not require signaling every Send.
We signal once every N Sends, and perform SGE unmapping of N Send
operations during that one completion.

We need to decode and save the incoming rdma_credits field _after_
we know that the direction of the message is "forward direction
Reply". Otherwise, the credits value in reverse direction Calls is
also used to update the forward direction credits.
It is safe to decode the rdma_credits field in rpcrdma_reply_handler
now that rpcrdma_reply_handler is single-threaded. Receives complete
in the same order as they were sent on the NFS server.

I noticed that the soft IRQ thread looked pretty busy under heavy
I/O workloads. perf suggested one area that was expensive was the
queue_work() call in rpcrdma_wc_receive. That gave me some ideas.
Instead of scheduling a separate worker to process RPC Replies,
promote the Receive completion handler to IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE, and
invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler directly.
Note that the poll workqueue is single-threaded. In order to keep
memory invalidation from serializing all RPC Replies, handle any
necessary invalidation tasks in a separate multi-threaded workqueue.
This provides a two-tier scheme, similar to OS I/O interrupt
handlers: A fast interrupt handler that schedules the slow handler
and re-enables the interrupt, and a slower handler that is invoked
for any needed heavy lifting.
Benefits include:
- One less context switch for RPCs that don't register memory
- Receive completion handling is moved out of soft IRQ context to
make room for other users of soft IRQ
- The same CPU core now DMA syncs and XDR decodes the Receive buffer

Adopt the use of xprt_pin_rqst to eliminate contention between
Call-side users of rb_lock and the use of rb_lock in
rpcrdma_reply_handler.
This replaces the mechanism introduced in 431af645cf ("xprtrdma:
Fix client lock-up after application signal fires").
Use recv_lock to quickly find the completing rqst, pin it, then
drop the lock. At that point invalidation and pull-up of the Reply
XDR can be done. Both are often expensive operations.
Finally, take recv_lock again to signal completion to the RPC
layer. It also protects adjustment of "cwnd".
This greatly reduces the amount of time a lock is held by the
reply handler. Comparing lock_stat results shows a marked decrease
in contention on rb_lock and recv_lock.

Transport header decoding deals with untrusted input data, therefore
decoding this header needs to be hardened.
Adopt the same infrastructure that is used when XDR decoding NFS
replies. This is slightly more CPU-intensive than the replaced code,
but we're not adding new atomics, locking, or context switches. The
cost is manageable.
Start by initializing an xdr_stream in rpcrdma_reply_handler().

After a signal, the RPC client aborts synchronous RPCs running on
behalf of the signaled application.
The server is still executing those RPCs, and will write the results
back into the client's memory when it's done. By the time the server
writes the results, that memory is likely being used for other
purposes. Therefore xprtrdma has to immediately invalidate all
memory regions used by those aborted RPCs to prevent the server's
writes from clobbering that re-used memory.
With FMR memory registration, invalidation takes a relatively long
time. In fact, the invalidation is often still running when the
server tries to write the results into the memory regions that are
being invalidated.
This sets up a race between two processes:
1. After the signal, xprt_rdma_free calls ro_unmap_safe.
2. While ro_unmap_safe is still running, the server replies and
rpcrdma_reply_handler runs, calling ro_unmap_sync.
Both processes invoke ib_unmap_fmr on the same FMR.
The mlx4 driver allows two ib_unmap_fmr calls on the same FMR at
the same time, but HCAs generally don't tolerate this. Sometimes
this can result in a system crash.
If the HCA happens to survive, rpcrdma_reply_handler continues. It
removes the rpc_rqst from rq_list and releases the transport_lock.
This enables xprt_rdma_free to run in another process, and the
rpc_rqst is released while rpcrdma_reply_handler is still waiting
for the ib_unmap_fmr call to finish.
But further down in rpcrdma_reply_handler, the transport_lock is
taken again, and "rqst" is dereferenced. If "rqst" has already been
released, this triggers a general protection fault. Since bottom-
halves are disabled, the system locks up.
Address both issues by reversing the order of the xprt_lookup_rqst
call and the ro_unmap_sync call. Introduce a separate lookup
mechanism for rpcrdma_req's to enable calling ro_unmap_sync before
xprt_lookup_rqst. Now the handler takes the transport_lock once
and holds it for the XID lookup and RPC completion.
