When calling the flow_free() to free the flow, we call many times (cpu_possible_mask, eg. 128 as default) cpumask_next(). That will take up our CPU usage if we call the flow_free() frequently. When we put all packets to userspace via upcall, and OvS will send them back via netlink to ovs_packet_cmd_execute(will call flow_free). The test topo is shown as below. VM01 sends TCP packets to VM02, and OvS forward packtets. When testing, we use perf to report the system performance. VM01 --- OvS-VM --- VM02 Without this patch, perf-top show as below: The flow_free() is 3.02% CPU usage. 4.23% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore 3.62% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq 3.16% [kernel] [k] __memcpy 3.02% [kernel] [k] flow_free 2.42% libc-2.17.so [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back 2.18% [kernel] [k] copy_user_generic_unrolled 2.17% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit When applied this patch, perf-top show as below: Not shown on the list anymore. 4.11% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore 3.79% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq 3.46% [kernel] [k] __memcpy 2.73% libc-2.17.so [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back 2.25% [kernel] [k] copy_user_generic_unrolled 1.89% libc-2.17.so [.] _int_malloc 1.53% ovs-vswitchd [.] xlate_actions With this patch, the TCP throughput(we dont use Megaflow Cache + Microflow Cache) between VMs is 1.18Gbs/sec up to 1.30Gbs/sec (maybe ~10% performance imporve). This patch adds cpumask struct, the cpu_used_mask stores the cpu_id that the flow used. And we only check the flow_stats on the cpu we used, and it is unncessary to check all possible cpu when getting, cleaning, and updating the flow_stats. Adding the cpu_used_mask to sw_flow struct does’t increase the cacheline number.
