net: page_pool: optimize page pool page allocation in NUMA scenario
Currently NIC packet receiving performance based on page pool deteriorates
occasionally. To analysis the causes of this problem page allocation stats
are collected. Here are the stats when NIC rx performance deteriorates:
bandwidth(Gbits/s) 16.8 6.91
rx_pp_alloc_fast 13794308 21141869
rx_pp_alloc_slow 108625 166481
rx_pp_alloc_slow_h 0 0
rx_pp_alloc_empty 8192 8192
rx_pp_alloc_refill 0 0
rx_pp_alloc_waive 100433 158289
rx_pp_recycle_cached 0 0
rx_pp_recycle_cache_full 0 0
rx_pp_recycle_ring 362400 420281
rx_pp_recycle_ring_full 6064893 9709724
rx_pp_recycle_released_ref 0 0
The rx_pp_alloc_waive count indicates that a large number of pages' numa
node are inconsistent with the NIC device numa node. Therefore these pages
can't be reused by the page pool. As a result, many new pages would be
allocated by __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow which is time consuming. This
causes the NIC rx performance fluctuations.
The main reason of huge numa mismatch pages in page pool is that page pool
uses alloc_pages_bulk_array to allocate original pages. This function is
not suitable for page allocation in NUMA scenario. So this patch uses
alloc_pages_bulk_array_node which has a NUMA id input parameter to ensure
the NUMA consistent between NIC device and allocated pages.
Repeated NIC rx performance tests are performed 40 times. NIC rx bandwidth
is higher and more stable compared to the datas above. Here are three test
stats, the rx_pp_alloc_waive count is zero and rx_pp_alloc_slow which
indicates pages allocated from slow patch is relatively low.
bandwidth(Gbits/s) 93 93.9 93.8
rx_pp_alloc_fast 60066264 61266386 60938254
