From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> In order to make RPCSVC_MAXPAYLOAD larger (or variable in size), we need to do something clever with the payload arrays embedded in struct svc_rqst and elsewhere. My preference is to keep these arrays allocated all the time because allocating them on demand increases the risk of a memory allocation failure during a large I/O. This is a quick-and-dirty approach that might be replaced once NFSD is converted to use large folios. The downside of this design choice is that it pins a few pages per NFSD thread (and that's the current situation already). But note that because RPCSVC_MAXPAGES is 259, each array is just over a page in size, making the allocation waste quite a bit of memory beyond the end of the array due to power-of-2 allocator round up. This gets worse as the MAXPAGES value is doubled or quadrupled. This series also addresses similar issues in the socket and RDMA transports. Changes since v4: * Replace the use of rq_vec instead of allocating it dynamically Changes since v3: * Improved the rdma_rw context count estimate * Dropped "NFSD: Remove NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE from .pc_xdrressize" * Cleaned up the max size macros a bit * Completed the implementation of adjustable max_block_size Changes since v2: * Address Jeff's review comments * Address Neil's review comments * Start removing a few uses of NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE Chuck Lever (19): svcrdma: Reduce the number of rdma_rw contexts per-QP sunrpc: Add a helper to derive maxpages from sv_max_mesg sunrpc: Remove backchannel check in svc_init_buffer() sunrpc: Replace the rq_pages array with dynamically-allocated memory sunrpc: Replace the rq_bvec array with dynamically-allocated memory NFSD: Use rqstp->rq_bvec in nfsd_iter_read() NFSD: De-duplicate the svc_fill_write_vector() call sites SUNRPC: Export xdr_buf_to_bvec() NFSD: Use rqstp->rq_bvec in nfsd_iter_write() SUNRPC: Remove svc_fill_write_vector() SUNRPC: Remove svc_rqst :: rq_vec sunrpc: Adjust size of socket's receive page array dynamically svcrdma: Adjust the number of entries in svc_rdma_recv_ctxt::rc_pages svcrdma: Adjust the number of entries in svc_rdma_send_ctxt::sc_pages sunrpc: Remove the RPCSVC_MAXPAGES macro NFSD: Remove NFSD_BUFSIZE NFSD: Remove NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE_V2 macro NFSD: Add a "default" block size SUNRPC: Bump the maximum payload size for the server fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c | 5 +- fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c | 10 +-- fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c | 2 +- fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c | 2 +- fs/nfsd/nfsd.h | 24 +++---- fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c | 13 ++-- fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c | 2 +- fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c | 4 +- fs/nfsd/vfs.c | 67 ++++++++++++++------ fs/nfsd/vfs.h | 10 +-- include/linux/sunrpc/svc.h | 46 ++++++++------ include/linux/sunrpc/svc_rdma.h | 6 +- include/linux/sunrpc/svcsock.h | 4 +- net/sunrpc/svc.c | 80 +++++++----------------- net/sunrpc/svc_xprt.c | 10 +-- net/sunrpc/svcsock.c | 15 +++-- net/sunrpc/xdr.c | 1 + net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_recvfrom.c | 8 ++- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_rw.c | 2 +- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_sendto.c | 16 ++++- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_transport.c | 14 +++-- 21 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 171 deletions(-) -- 2.49.0
