rdma_rw_mr_factor() returns the smallest number of MRs needed to
move a particular number of pages. svcrdma currently asks for the
number of MRs needed to move RPCSVC_MAXPAGES (a little over one
megabyte), as that is the number of pages in the largest r/wsize
the server supports.
This call assumes that the client's NIC can bundle a full one
megabyte payload in a single rdma_segment. In fact, most NICs cannot
handle a full megabyte with a single rkey / rdma_segment. Clients
will typically split even a single Read chunk into many segments.
The server needs one MR to read each rdma_segment in a Read chunk,
and thus each one needs an rw_ctx.
svcrdma has been vastly underestimating the number of rw_ctxs needed
to handle 64 RPC requests with large Read chunks using small
rdma_segments.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a good way to estimate this
number without knowing the client NIC's capabilities. Even then,
the client RPC/RDMA implementation is still free to split a chunk
into smaller segments (for example, it might be using physical
registration, which needs an rdma_segment per page).
The best we can do for now is choose a number that will guarantee
forward progress in the worst case (one page per segment).
At some later point, we could add some mechanisms to make this
much less of a problem:
- Add a core API to add more rw_ctxs to an already-established QP
- svcrdma could treat rw_ctx exhaustion as a temporary error and
try again
- Limit the number of Reads in flight
