From 33a38fef5e889b45571228bde519746fd90d8877 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leonardo Bras Date: Wed, 18 May 2022 02:52:25 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 22/37] multifd: Send header packet without flags if zero-copy-send is enabled MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit RH-Author: Leonardo Brás RH-MergeRequest: 191: MSG_ZEROCOPY + Multifd @ rhel8.7 RH-Commit: [22/26] 9abfee42b72f11911cf128519826d09cbd2f5bc3 RH-Bugzilla: 2072049 RH-Acked-by: Peter Xu RH-Acked-by: Daniel P. Berrangé RH-Acked-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert Since d48c3a0445 ("multifd: Use a single writev on the send side"), sending the header packet and the memory pages happens in the same writev, which can potentially make the migration faster. Using channel-socket as example, this works well with the default copying mechanism of sendmsg(), but with zero-copy-send=true, it will cause the migration to often break. This happens because the header packet buffer gets reused quite often, and there is a high chance that by the time the MSG_ZEROCOPY mechanism get to send the buffer, it has already changed, sending the wrong data and causing the migration to abort. It means that, as it is, the buffer for the header packet is not suitable for sending with MSG_ZEROCOPY. In order to enable zero copy for multifd, send the header packet on an individual write(), without any flags, and the remanining pages with a writev(), as it was happening before. This only changes how a migration with zero-copy-send=true works, not changing any current behavior for migrations with zero-copy-send=false.
