80% of the overhead comes from cachemisses here:

ffffffff804b9bc6: 78 44 39 68 2c cmp %r13d,0x2c(%rax)
ffffffff804b9bca: 4 0f 18 09 prefetcht0 (%rcx)

ffffffff804b9bcf: 139502 eb bd jmp ffffffff804b9b8e <__inet_lookup_established+0x7c>

corresponding to:

(gdb) list *0xffffffff804b9bc6
0xffffffff804b9bc6 is in __inet_lookup_established (net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:237).
232 rwlock_t *lock = inet_ehash_lockp(hashinfo, hash);
233
234 prefetch(head->chain.first);
235 read_lock(lock);
236 sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
237 if (INET_MATCH(sk, net, hash, acookie,
238 saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
239 goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
240 }
241

Seeing the first hard cachemiss on hash lookups is a familiar and partly expected pattern - it is the first thing that touches cache-cold data structures.

Seeing 1.4% of the totaly tbench overhead go into this single cachemiss is a bit surprising to me though: tbench works via long-lived connections (TCP establish costs and nowhere to be seen in the profiles) so the socket hash should be relatively stable and read-mostly on most CPUs in theory. The CPUs here have 2MB of L2 cache per socket.

Could we be somehow dirtying these cachelines perhaps, causing unnecessary cachemisses in hash lookups? Is the hash linkage portion of the socket data structure frequently dirtied? Padding that to 64 bytes (or next to 64 bytes worth of read-mostly fields) could perhaps give us a +1.7% tbench speedup.


I am not seeing this of course on net-next-2.6 thanks to RCU

Could it be that several tbench sockets are hashed on same chain ?

tbench uses dst address and src address 127.0.0.1 for its sockets.
server binds on port 7003


static inline unsigned int inet_ehashfn(struct net *net,
const __be32 laddr, const __u16 lport,
const __be32 faddr, const __be16 fport)
{
return jhash_3words((__force __u32) laddr,
(__force __u32) faddr,
((__u32) lport) << 16 | (__force __u32)fport,
inet_ehash_secret + net_hash_mix(net));
}

Hum... should be OK, thanks to jhash.

Maybe same problem than eth_type_trans :

You have a cache line miss because the socket we handle in the chain was previously
handled by another cpu. (sk->refcnt being dirtied by this other cpu)


ffffffff804b9bc6: 78 44 39 68 2c cmp %r13d,0x2c(%rax)
ffffffff804b9bca: 4 0f 18 09 prefetcht0 (%rcx)

ffffffff804b9bcd: 685 75 e8 jne ffffffff804b9bb7 <__inet_lookup_established+0xa5>
< "jne" stalls beccause CPU must bring to its cache 0x2c(%rax) to perform compare >

ffffffff804b9bcf: 139502 eb bd jmp ffffffff804b9b8e <__inet_lookup_established+0x7c>

Even if you padd/move refcnt somewhere else in sk, you'll need to take a reference on it,
so it wont help very much.
