[1] Subj: High perf top ip_idents_reserve doing netperf UDP_STREAM
- https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg294752.html
Not fixed in version 2.7.0.
- ftp://ftp.netperf.org/netperf/netperf-2.7.0.tar.gz
Used extra netperf configure compile options:
./configure --enable-histogram --enable-demo
It seems like some fix attempts exists in the SVN repository::
svn checkout http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/trunk/ netperf2-svn
svn log -r709
# A quick stab at getting remote connect going for UDP_STREAM
svn diff -r708:709
Testing with SVN version, still show __ip_select_ident() in top#1.
Indeed, there was a fix for getting the remote side connect()ed.
Looking at what I have for the top of trunk I do though see a connect()
call being made at the local end:
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) = 4
getsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, [212992], [4]) = 0
getsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, [212992], [4]) = 0
setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DONTROUTE, [1], 4) = 0
setsockopt(4, SOL_IP, IP_RECVERR, [1], 4) = 0
brk(0xe53000) = 0xe53000
getsockname(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(59758),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, [16]) = 0

select(1024, [3], NULL, NULL, {120, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {119, 995630})

the only difference there with top of trunk is that "need to connect"
write/printf I just put in the code to be a nice marker in the system
call trace.
It is a wild guess, but does setting SO_DONTROUTE affect whether or not
a connect() would have the desired effect? That is there to protect
people from themselves (long story about people using UDP_STREAM to
stress improperly air-gapped systems during link up/down testing....)
It can be disabled with a test-specific -R 1 option, so your netperf
command would become:
netperf -H 198.18.50.1 -t UDP_STREAM -l 120 -- -m 1472 -n -N -R 1
(p.s. is netperf ever going to be converted from SVN to git?)
Well.... my git-fu could use some work (gentle, offlinetaps with a
clueful tutorial bat would be welcome), and at least in the past, going
to git was held back because there were a bunch of netperf users on
Windows and there wasn't (at the time) support for git under Windows.
But I am not against the idea in principle.
happy benchmarking,
