xprtrdma: Invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler directly from RECV completion
I noticed that the soft IRQ thread looked pretty busy under heavy
I/O workloads. perf suggested one area that was expensive was the
queue_work() call in rpcrdma_wc_receive. That gave me some ideas.
Instead of scheduling a separate worker to process RPC Replies,
promote the Receive completion handler to IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE, and
invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler directly.
Note that the poll workqueue is single-threaded. In order to keep
memory invalidation from serializing all RPC Replies, handle any
necessary invalidation tasks in a separate multi-threaded workqueue.
This provides a two-tier scheme, similar to OS I/O interrupt
handlers: A fast interrupt handler that schedules the slow handler
and re-enables the interrupt, and a slower handler that is invoked
for any needed heavy lifting.
Benefits include:
- One less context switch for RPCs that don't register memory
- Receive completion handling is moved out of soft IRQ context to
make room for other users of soft IRQ
- The same CPU core now DMA syncs and XDR decodes the Receive buffer
