RDMA/core: Provide RDMA DIM support for ULPs
Added the interface in the infiniband driver that applies the rdma_dim
adaptive moderation. There is now a special function for allocating an
ib_cq that uses rdma_dim.
Performance improvement (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) running FIO benchmark over
NVMf between two equal end-hosts with 56 cores across a Mellanox switch
using null_blk device:
READS without DIM:
blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency
512B | 3.8GiB/s | 7.7M | 1401 usec | 2442 usec
4k | 7.0GiB/s | 1.8M | 4817 usec | 6587 usec
64k | 10.7GiB/s| 175k | 9896 usec | 10028 usec
IO WRITES without DIM:
blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency
512B | 3.6GiB/s | 7.5M | 1434 usec | 2474 usec
4k | 6.3GiB/s | 1.6M | 938 usec | 1221 usec
64k | 10.7GiB/s| 175k | 8979 usec | 12780 usec
IO READS with DIM:
blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency
512B | 4GiB/s | 8.2M | 816 usec | 889 usec
4k | 10.1GiB/s| 2.65M| 3359 usec | 5080 usec
64k | 10.7GiB/s| 175k | 9896 usec | 10028 usec
IO WRITES with DIM:
blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency
512B | 3.9GiB/s | 8.1M | 799 usec | 922 usec
4k | 9.6GiB/s | 2.5M | 717 usec | 1004 usec
64k | 10.7GiB/s| 176k | 8586 usec | 12256 usec
The rdma_dim algorithm was designed to measure the effectiveness of
moderation on the flow in a general way and thus should be appropriate
for all RDMA storage protocols.
rdma_dim is configured to be the default option based on performance
improvement seen after extensive tests.
