From b247f32aecad09e6cf7edff7739e6f2c9dc5fca9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avihai Horon Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2021 16:03:06 +0300 Subject: net/mlx5: Dynamically resize flow counters query buffer The flow counters bulk query buffer is allocated once during mlx5_fc_init_stats(). For PFs and VFs this buffer usually takes a little more than 512KB of memory, which is aligned to the next power of 2, to 1MB. For SFs, this buffer is reduced and takes around 128 Bytes. The buffer size determines the maximum number of flow counters that can be queried at a time. Thus, having a bigger buffer can improve performance for users that need to query many flow counters. There are cases that don't use many flow counters and don't need a big buffer (e.g. SFs, VFs). Since this size is critical with large scale, in these cases the buffer size should be reduced. In order to reduce memory consumption while maintaining query performance, change the query buffer's allocation scheme to the following: - First allocate the buffer with small initial size. - If the number of counters surpasses the initial size, resize the buffer to the maximum size. The buffer only grows and isn't shrank, because users with many flow counters don't care about the buffer size and we don't want to add resize overhead if the current number of counters drops. This solution is preferable to the current one, which is less accurate and only addresses SFs.
