Re: [lustre-discuss] Very bad lnet ethernet read performance

Louis,
I would also try:
- turning on selective ack (net.ipv4.tcp_sack=1) on all nodes. This helps
although there is a CVE out there for older kernels.
- turning off checksum osc.ostid*.checksums. This can be turned off per
OST/FS on clients.
- Increasing max_pages_per_rpc to 16M. Although this may not help with your
reads.
- Increasing max_rpcs_in_flight and max_dirty_mb be  2 x max_rpcs_in_flight
- Increasing llite.ostid*.max_read_ahead_mb to up to 1024 on clients. Again
this can be set per OST/FS.

Do you have Ethernet flow control configured on all ports (especially the 
uplink ports)?  We’ve found that flow control is critical when there are 
mismatched uplink/client port speeds.

Subject: [lustre-discuss] Very bad lnet ethernet read performance

Hi all,

I am trying to understand what I am doing wrong here.
I have a Lustre 2.12.1 system backed by NVME drives under zfs for which 
obdfilter-survey gives descent values
ost  2 sz 536870912K rsz 1024K obj2 thr  256 write 15267.49 [6580.36, 
8664.20] rewrite 15225.24 [6559.05, 8900.54] read 19739.86 [9062.25, 10429.04]
But my actual Lustre performances are pretty poor in comparison (can't top 
8GB/s write and 13.5GB/s read)
So I started to question my lnet tuning but playing with peer_credits and 
max_rpc_per_pages didn't help.

My test setup consist of 133x10G Ethernet clients (uplinks between end devices 
and OSS are 2x100G for every 20 nodes).
The single OSS is fitted with a bonding of 2x100G Ethernet.

I have tried to understand the problem using lnet_selftest but I'll need some 
help/doco as this doesn't make sense to me.

So if I add clients the aggregate write bandwidth somewhat stacks, but the read 
bandwidth decrease ???
When throwing all the nodes at the system, I am pretty happy with the ~22GB/s 
on write pretty as this is in the 90% of the 2x100G, but the 341MB/s read 
sounds very weird considering that this is a third of the performance of a 
single client.
