Now, virtio-net already supports per-queue moderation parameter
setting. Based on this, we use the linux dimlib to support
dynamic coalescing moderation for virtio-net.
Due to some scheduling issues, we only support and test the rx dim.
Some test results:
I. Sockperf UDP
=================================================
1. Env
rxq_0 with affinity to cpu_0.
2. Cmd
client: taskset -c 0 sockperf tp -p 8989 -i $IP -t 10 -m 16B
server: taskset -c 0 sockperf sr -p 8989
3. Result
dim off: 1143277.00 rxpps, throughput 17.844 MBps, cpu is 100%.
dim on: 1124161.00 rxpps, throughput 17.610 MBps, cpu is 83.5%.
=================================================
II. Redis
=================================================
1. Env
There are 8 rxqs, and rxq_i with affinity to cpu_i.
2. Result
When all cpus are 100%, ops/sec of memtier_benchmark client is
dim off: 978437.23
dim on: 1143638.28
=================================================
III. Nginx
=================================================
1. Env
There are 8 rxqs and rxq_i with affinity to cpu_i.
2. Result
When all cpus are 100%, requests/sec of wrk client is
dim off: 877931.67
dim on: 1019160.31
=================================================
IV. Latency of sockperf udp
=================================================
1. Rx cmd
taskset -c 0 sockperf sr -p 8989
2. Tx cmd
taskset -c 0 sockperf pp -i ${ip} -p 8989 -t 10
After running this cmd 5 times and averaging the results,
3. Result
dim off: 17.7735 usec
dim on: 18.0110 usec
=================================================
