Even though this driver implements stateless offloads - TXCSUM, RXCSUM,
TSO, LRO - (just like the original FreeBSD one -
https://github.com/amzn/amzn-drivers/tree/master/kernel/fbsd/ena#stateless-offloads),
the underlying ENA device does NOT implement RXCSUM nor TSO (see
amzn/amzn-drivers#29 <https://github.com/amzn/amzn-drivers/issues/29>). It
also looks like the LRO logic never gets activated based on the observed
values of relevant tracepoints. We use netchannels so maybe it does not
matter as much.
OSv when running on t3nano reports this:
D/22 ena]: Elastic Network Adapter (ENA)ena v2.6.3
[D/22 ena]: LLQ is not supported. Using the host mode policy.
[D/22 ena]: ena_attach: set max_num_io_queues to 2
[D/22 ena]: Enable only 3 MSI-x (out of 9), reduce the number of queues
[D/22 ena]: device offloads (caps): TXCSUM=2, TXCSUM_IPV6=0, TSO4=0,
TSO6=0, RXCSUM=0, RXCSUM_IPV6=0, LRO=1, JUMBO_MTU=1
...
[D/22 ena]: ena_update_hwassist: CSUM_IP=1, CSUM_UDP=4, CSUM_TCP=2,
CSUM_UDP_IPV6=0, CSUM_TCP_IPV6=0, CSUM_TSO=0
Can anyone confirm if this indeed is the case? The issue I am citing above
was opened in 2017 and never updated. If so how much of the performance
impact does it have?
Relatedly, I have since improved the driver a bit. Mainly I have changed
the "cleanup" logic (mostly handling RX) to make the worker threads and
corresponding MSIX vectors pin to a single vCPU. That seems to reduce # of
IPIs and in some workflows I see performance improve by 5-10%.
I have also run more tests with iperf3 and netperf:
netperf -H 172.31.89.238 -t TCP_STREAM -l 5 -- -m 65536

With iperf3 I typically see a relatively high number of retries. Do you
think it indicates some sort of bottleneck on OSv side?
Relatedly, with both iperf and netperf I never see OSv exceed the 4Gbits/s
barrier and it never approaches the NIC bandwidth limit (the maximum of
t3nano is 5Gbits).
Finally, all the tests I have been running we conducted with clients (wrk,
iperf, netperf, etc) on the t3micro Ubuntu instance deployed in the same
availability zone (us-east-1f) and same VPC. I have also had no chance to
compare it to Linux guest so no idea if these results are half decent or
not.
Any input is highly appreciated.
