DotNetty发送请求的最佳实践
长链接发送request/response时, 绝大部分包都是小包, 而每个小包都要消耗一个IP包, 成本大约是20-30us, 普通千兆网卡的pps大约是60Wpps, 所以想要提高长链接密集IO的应用性能, 需要做包的合并, 也称为了scatter/gather io或者vector io.
在linux下有readv/writev就是对应这个需求的, 减少系统调用, 减少pps, 提高网卡的吞吐量. 关于readv提高读的速度, 可以看看陈硕muduo里面对于readv的使用, 思路是就是在栈上面弄一个64KB的数组, 组成readv的第二块buffer, 从而尽可能一次性把socket缓冲区的内容全部出来(参见5). 这里不再赘述, 重点描述DotNetty下面怎么做Gathering Write.
首先得有一个Channel<IMessage>, 用来做写的缓冲, 让业务关心业务, 网络关心网络, 否则每个业务都WriteAndFlushAsync, 那是不太可能有合并发送的.
然后就是SendingLoop的主循环, 里面不停的从Channel里面TryRead包, 然后WriteAsync, 隔几个包Flush一次. 类似的思想在Orleans Network里面也存在.
1 public void RunSendLoopAsync(IChannel channel) 2 { 3 var allocator = channel.Allocator; 4 var reader = this.queue.Reader; 5 Task.Run(async () => 6 { 7 while (!this.stop) 8 { 9 var more = await reader.WaitToReadAsync();10 if (!more) 11 {12 break;13 }14 15 IOutboundMessage message = default;16 var number = 0;17 try 18 {19 while (number < 4 && reader.TryRead(out message) && message != null) 20 {21 Interlocked.Decrement(ref this.queueCount);22 var msg = message.Inner as IMessage;23 var buffer = msg.ToByteBuffer(allocator);24 channel.WriteAsync(buffer);25 number++;26 }27 channel.Flush();28 number = 0;29 }30 catch (Exception e) when(message != default)31 {32 logger.LogError("SendOutboundMessage Fail, SessionID:{0}, Exception:{1}",33 this.sessionID, e.Message);34 this.messageCenter.OnMessageFail(message);35 }36 }37 this.logger.LogInformation("SessionID:{0}, SendingLoop Exit", this.sessionID);38 });39 }
第19-27行是关键, 这边每4个包做一下flush, 然后flush会触发DotNetty的DoWrite:
1 protected override void DoWrite(ChannelOutboundBuffer input) 2 { 3 List<ArraySegment<byte>> sharedBufferList = null; 4 try 5 { 6 while (true) 7 { 8 int size = input.Size; 9 if (size == 0)10 {11 // All written12 break;13 }14 long writtenBytes = 0;15 bool done = false;16 17 // Ensure the pending writes are made of ByteBufs only.18 int maxBytesPerGatheringWrite = ((TcpSocketChannelConfig)this.config).GetMaxBytesPerGatheringWrite();19 sharedBufferList = input.GetSharedBufferList(1024, maxBytesPerGatheringWrite);20 int nioBufferCnt = sharedBufferList.Count;21 long expectedWrittenBytes = input.NioBufferSize;22 Socket socket = this.Socket;23 24 List<ArraySegment<byte>> bufferList = sharedBufferList;25 // Always us nioBuffers() to workaround data-corruption.26 // See https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/276127 switch (nioBufferCnt)28 {29 case 0:30 // We have something else beside ByteBuffers to write so fallback to normal writes.31 base.DoWrite(input);32 return;33 default:34 for (int i = this.Configuration.WriteSpinCount - 1; i >= 0; i--)35 {36 long localWrittenBytes = socket.Send(bufferList, SocketFlags.None, out SocketError errorCode);37 if (errorCode != SocketError.Success && errorCode != SocketError.WouldBlock)38 {39 throw new SocketException((int)errorCode);40 }
DotNetty TcpSocketChannel类的DoWrite函数, 19行获取当前ChannelOutboundBuffer的Segment<byte>数组, 然后在36行调用Socket.Send一次性发出去, 这个是Gathering Write的关键. 有了这个, 就可以不在业务层用CompositeByteBuffer.
DotNetty Libuv Transport的实现可以看6, 思想是类似的.
实际上Orleans 3.x做的网络优化, 也有类似的思想:
1 private async Task ProcessOutgoing() 2 { 3 await Task.Yield(); 4 5 Exception error = default; 6 PipeWriter output = default; 7 var serializer = this.serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IMessageSerializer>(); 8 try 9 {10 output = this.Context.Transport.Output;11 var reader = this.outgoingMessages.Reader;12 if (this.Log.IsEnabled(LogLevel.Information))13 {14 this.Log.LogInformation(15 "Starting to process messages from local endpoint {Local} to remote endpoint {Remote}",16 this.LocalEndPoint,17 this.RemoteEndPoint);18 }19 20 while (true)21 {22 var more = await reader.WaitToReadAsync();23 if (!more)24 {25 break;26 }27 28 Message message = default;29 try30 {31 while (inflight.Count < inflight.Capacity && reader.TryRead(out message) && this.PrepareMessageForSend(message))32 {33 inflight.Add(message);34 var (headerLength, bodyLength) = serializer.Write(ref output, message);35 MessagingStatisticsGroup.OnMessageSend(this.MessageSentCounter, message, headerLength + bodyLength, headerLength, this.ConnectionDirection);36 }37 }38 catch (Exception exception) when (message != default)39 {40 this.OnMessageSerializationFailure(message, exception);41 }42 43 var flushResult = await output.FlushAsync();44 if (flushResult.IsCompleted || flushResult.IsCanceled)45 {46 break;47 }48 49 inflight.Clear();50 }
核心在31行, 开始写, 43行开始flush, 只不过Orleans用的pipelines io, DotNetty是传统模型.
这样做, 可以在有限的pps下, 支撑更高的吞吐量.
个人感觉DotNetty更好用一些.
