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 Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever --- diff --git a/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_transport.c b/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_transport.c index 839c0e80e5cd..2b1c16b9547d 100644 --- a/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_transport.c +++ b/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_transport.c @@ -422,8 +422,13 @@ static struct svc_xprt *svc_rdma_accept(struct svc_xprt *xprt) newxprt->sc_max_requests = rq_depth - 2; newxprt->sc_max_bc_requests = 2; } - ctxts = rdma_rw_mr_factor(dev, newxprt->sc_port_num, RPCSVC_MAXPAGES); - ctxts *= newxprt->sc_max_requests; + + /* Arbitrarily estimate the number of rw_ctxs needed for + * this transport.
