[PATCH 1/3] nvme-tcp: improve rx/tx fairness

Hannes Reinecke hare at kernel.org
Mon Jul 8 00:10:11 PDT 2024


We need to restrict both side, rx and tx, to only run for a certain time
to ensure that we're not blocking the other side and induce starvation.
So pass in a 'deadline' value to nvme_tcp_send_all() and nvme_tcp_try_recv()
and break out of the loop if the deadline is reached.

As we now have a timestamp we can also use it to print out a warning
if the actual time spent exceeds the deadline.

Performance comparison:
               baseline rx/tx fairness
4k seq write:  449MiB/s 480MiB/s
4k rand write: 410MiB/s 481MiB/s
4k seq read:   478MiB/s 481MiB/s
4k rand read:  547MiB/s 480MiB/s

Random read is ever so disappointing, but that will be fixed with the later
patches.
