xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over more CPUs
Commit d8f532d20ee4 ("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.
