[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] rte_hash: add scalable multi-writer insertion w/ Intel TSX

Wei Shen wei1.shen at intel.com
Thu Jun 16 06:52:33 CEST 2016


This patch introduced scalable multi-writer Cuckoo Hash insertion
based on a split Cuckoo Search and Move operation using Intel
TSX. It can do scalable hash insertion with 22 cores with little
performance loss and negligible TSX abortion rate.

* Added an extra rte_hash flag definition to switch default
  single writer Cuckoo Hash behavior to multiwriter.

* Added a make_space_insert_bfs_mw() function to do split Cuckoo
  search in BFS order.

* Added tsx_cuckoo_move_insert() to do Cuckoo move in Intel TSX
  protected manner.

* Added test_hash_multiwriter() as test case for multi-writer
  Cuckoo Hash.

   * Enable RSS per network interface through the configuration file.

+
+  * Enabled application developers to use an extra flag for rte_hash creation

+  * Changed Cuckoo search algorithm to breadth first search for multi-writer
