Intel HDSLB 高性能四层负载均衡器 — 基本原理和部署配置

前言

在上一篇《Intel HDSLB 高性能四层负载均衡器 --- 快速入门和应用场景》中,我们着重介绍了 HDSLB(High Density Scalable Load Balancer,高密度可扩展的负载均衡器)作为新一代高性能四层负载均衡器的需求定位、分析了 HDSLB 在云计算和边缘计算应用场景中的特性优势,以及解读了 HDSLB 的性能测试数据。

再进一步的,在本篇中我们主要关注 HDSLB 的基本运行原理和部署配置方式,更侧重于实际的操作。为了让更广泛的开发者们都能够快捷方便的对 HDSLB 展开研究,所以在本篇中会采用 HDSLB-DPVS 开源版本来进行介绍。

HDSLB-DPVS 的基本原理

顾名思义,HDSLB-DPVS 是基于 DPVS 进行二次开发的项目。而 DPVS,又称为 DPDK-LVS,是一个参考了 LVS 内核态四层负载均衡器设计原理并基于 DPDK 用户态数据面加速框架进行开发的四层负载均衡器。可见,HDSLB-DPVS 的技术堆栈主要由以下 4 个部分组成:

  1. LVS
  2. DPDK
  3. DPVS
  4. HDSLB-DPVS

要清晰的理解 HDSLB-DPVS 的基本实现原理,我们需要从头开始讲起。

LVS

LVS(Linux Virtual Server,Linux 虚拟服务器)是一个诞生于 1998 年的四层负载均衡器开源项目,其目标是使用 Local Balancer 技术和 Server Cluster 技术来实现一个具有良好可伸缩性(Scalability)、可靠性(Reliability)和可管理性(Manageability)的 Virtual Server。

现在来看,虽然 LVS 基于 Kernel 实现的数据面性能已经不合时宜,但在逻辑架构的设计层面,LVS 的核心术语依旧沿用至今,包括:

  • VS(Virtual Server,虚拟服务器):VS 是由 DS 和 RS 组合构成的一个逻辑概念,VS 最终通过一个 VIP 对外部 Clients 提供服务。
  • DS(Director Server,流量调度服务器):是充当 LB 流量入口的服务器,负责负载均衡策略的执行和流量分发。所以也称为 FE(前端服务器)。
  • RS(Real Server,真实服务器):RS 是真正用于处理请求流量的服务器,也称为 BE(后端服务器)。
  • VIP(Virtual IP,虚拟 IP 地址):VS 向外部 Client 提供服务的 IP 地址。
  • DIP(Director IP,直连 IP 地址):Director Server 向内部与 RS 进行通信的 IP 地址。
  • RIP(Real IP,真实 IP 地址):RS 与 DS 互通的 IP 地址。
  • CIP(Client IP,客户端的 IP 地址)
  • NAT 反向代理转发模式
  • IP Tunneling 透明转发模式
  • DR 三角流量转发模式
  • 等等

DPDK

随着 2010 年,IEEE 802.3 标准委员会发布了 40GbE 和 100GbE 802.3ba 以太网标准后,数据中心正式进入了 100G 时代。从那时起,Linux 内核协议栈的网络处理性能就一直备受挑战。先看几个数据:

  • CPU 访问 Main Memory 所需要的时长为 65 纳秒。
  • 跨 NUMA node 的 Main Memory 数据 Copy 所需要的时长为 40 纳秒。
  • CPU 处理一次硬件中断所需要的时间为 100 微秒。

但实际上,100G 网卡线速为 2 亿 PPS,即每个包处理的时间不能超过 50 纳秒。

可见,基于 Kernel 的数据面已经走到了拐点,DPDK 为此而生,并通过下列加速技术实现了 100G 线性转发。

  1. 使用用户态协议栈代替内核协议栈:Kernel by-pass (user space implementation).
  2. 使用轮训代替中断:Polling instead of interrupt.
  3. 使用多核编程代替多线程:Share-nothing, per-CPU for key data (lockless).
  4. 跨 CPU 无锁通信:Lockless message for high performance IPC.
  5. RX Steering and CPU affinity (avoid context switch).
  6. Zero Copy (avoid packet copy and syscalls).
  7. Batching TX/RX.
  8. etc...

DPVS

综上,由于 LVS 的数据面是一个 Linux Kernel Module(ipvs),其性能无法满足现代化需求,所以国内公司 iqiyi 基于 DPDK 开发了 DPVS。值得一提的是,由于 DPVS 项目由国内公司开源和维护,所以其开源社区对中文开发者也会更加友好。

除了性能方面的优化之外,在功能层面,DPVS 也提供了更丰富的能力,包括:

  • L4 Load Balancer, including FNAT, DR, Tunnel, DNAT modes, etc.
  • SNAT mode for Internet access from internal network.
  • NAT64 forwarding in FNAT mode for quick IPv6 adaptation without application changes.
  • Different schedule algorithms like RR, WLC, WRR, MH(Maglev Hashing), Conhash(Consistent Hashing) etc.
  • User-space Lite IP stack (IPv4/IPv6, Routing, ARP, Neighbor, ICMP ...).
  • Support KNI, VLAN, Bonding, Tunneling for different IDC environment.
  • Security aspect, support TCP syn-proxy, Conn-Limit, black-list, white-list.
  • QoS: Traffic Control.

在软件架构方面,DPVS 沿用了数据分离架构和基于 Keepalived 的 Master-Backup 高可用架构。

  • ipvsadm:用于 VS、RS 等逻辑资源对象的管理。
  • dpip:用于 IP、Route 等基础网络资源的管理。
  • keepalived:用于提供基于 VRRP 协议的主备高可用。

HDSLB-DPVS

HDSLB-DPVS 和 DPVS 本身都作为高性能负载均衡器,那么两者的本质区别是什么呢?答案就是更强大的性能!

通常的,我们可以使用 RBP(Ratio of Bandwidth and Performance growth rate,带宽性能增速比)来定义网络带宽的增速比上 CPU 性能的增速,即:RBP=BW GR/Perf. GR。

如下图所示。2010 年前,网络的带宽年化增长大约是 30%,到 2015 年增长到 35%,然后在近年达到 45%。相对应的,CPU 的性能增长从 10 年前的 23%,下降到 12%,并在近年直接降低到 3.5%。在这 3 个时间段内,RBP 指标从 RBP~1 附近(I/O 压力尚未显现出来),上升到 RBP~3,并在近年超过了 RBP~10。

可见,CPU 几乎已经无法直接应对网络带宽的增速。而围绕 CPU 进行纯软件加速的 DPDK 框架正在面临挑战。

回到 DPVS 和 HDSLB-DPVS 的本质区别这个问题。在理论设计层面,DPVS 的目标是基于 DPDK 框架实现了软件层面的加速,而 HDSLB-DPVS 则更进一步的将这种加速融入到 CPU 和 NIC 互相结合的硬件平台之上,并实现了 "高密度" 和 "可扩展" 这 2 大目标:

  • 高密度:指的是单个 HDSLB 节点的 TCP 并发连接数量和吞吐量特别高。
  • 可拓展:指的是其性能可以随着 CPU Core 的数量或者资源总量的增加而线性拓展。

实践方面,在最新型的 Intel Xeon CPU(e.g. 3rd & 4th generation)和 E810 100G NIC 硬件平台上,实现了:

  • Concurrent Session: 100M level / Node
  • Throughput: > 8Mpps / Core @FNAT
  • TCP Session Est. Rate > 800K / Core
  • Linear growth

对此,我们在《Intel HDSLB 高性能四层负载均衡器 --- 快速入门和应用场景》文中已经对 HDSLB-DPVS 超越前代的性能数据进行了分析,这里不在赘述。

问题分析

问题 1:hdslb/tools/keepalived/configure 没有执行权限。

bash 复制代码
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/hdslb/src'
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/hdslb/tools'
if [ ! -f keepalived/Makefile ]; then \
        cd keepalived && \
        ./configure && \
        cd -; \
fi
/bin/sh: 3: ./configure: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [Makefile:29: keepalived_conf] Error 126
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/hdslb/tools'
make: *** [Makefile:33: all] Error 1

# 解决
$ chmod +x /root/hdslb/tools/keepalived/configure

问题 2:缺少配置文件

bash 复制代码
Cause: ports in DPDK RTE (2) != ports in dpvs.conf(0)

# 解决
$ cp conf/hdslb.conf.sample /etc/hdslb.conf

问题 3:开发机 2MB hugepage size 太小

bash 复制代码
Cause: Cannot init mbuf pool on socket 0

# 解决:把 hugepagesize 配置为 1G
# ref:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51630926/cannot-create-mbuf-pool-with-dpdk

问题 4:缺少 rte_kni 模块

bash 复制代码
Cause: add KNI port fail, exiting...

# 解决
$ insmod ${RTE_SDK}/build/kmod/rte_kni.ko

问题 5:开发机大页内存不够

bash 复制代码
Kni: kni_add_dev: fail to set mac FA:27:00:00:07:AA for dpdk0.kni: Timer expired
Kni: kni_add_dev: fail to set mac FA:27:00:00:00:E1 for dpdk1.kni: Timer expired

IPVS: dp_vs_conn_init: lcore 3: nothing to do.
IPVS: fail to init synproxy: no memory

# 解决:扩容到 15G。

问题 6:开发机网卡不支持 HDSLB-DPVS 需要的 hardware offloads 功能。

bash 复制代码
Kni: kni_add_dev: fail to set mac FA:27:00:00:0A:02 for dpdk0.kni: Timer expired
Kni: kni_add_dev: fail to set mac FA:27:00:00:0B:F6 for dpdk1.kni: Timer expired

NETIF: netif_port_start: fail to config dpdk0
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Start dpdk0 failed, skipping ...

# 解决:修改 netif 模块,不启动不支持的 offloads 功能。
static struct rte_eth_conf default_port_conf = {
    .rxmode = {
......
        .offloads = 0,
        //.offloads = DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CHECKSUM | DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN,
    },
......
    .txmode = {
......
        .offloads = 0,
        //.offloads = DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM | DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_UDP_CKSUM | DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_TCP_CKSUM | DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE,
    },

NOTE:根据 DPDK 的文档,offloads mask 的每个 bit 都代表了特定的卸载功能。以下 0-15bit 对应的 Features:

  1. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP
  2. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM
  3. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_UDP_CKSUM
  4. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_TCP_CKSUM
  5. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_TCP_LRO
  6. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_QINQ_STRIP
  7. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_OUTER_IPV4_CKSUM
  8. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_MACSEC_STRIP
  9. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_FILTER
  10. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_EXTEND
  11. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER
  12. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_TIMESTAMP
  13. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SECURITY
  14. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC
  15. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCTP_CKSUM
  16. DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_OUTER_UDP_CKSUM

问题 7:开发机网络不支持 RSS 多队列。valid value: 0x0 表示当前网卡不支持任何 RSS 哈希函数。

bash 复制代码
Kni: kni_add_dev: fail to set mac FA:27:00:00:0A:02 for dpdk0.kni: Timer expired

Ethdev port_id=0 invalid rss_hf: 0x3afbc, valid value: 0x0
NETIF: netif_port_start: fail to config dpdk0
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Start dpdk0 failed, skipping ...

# 解决方式 1:使用支持 multi-queues 和 RSS hash 的网卡。
# 解决方式 2:修改 netif 模块,不启动 multi-queues 和 RSS hash 功能。
static struct rte_eth_conf default_port_conf = {
    .rxmode = {
        //.mq_mode        = ETH_MQ_RX_RSS,
        .mq_mode        = ETH_MQ_RX_NONE,
......
    },
    .rx_adv_conf = {
        .rss_conf = {
            .rss_key = NULL,
            //.rss_hf  = /*ETH_RSS_IP*/ ETH_RSS_TCP,
            .rss_hf  = 0
        },
    },
......
port->dev_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.rss_hf = 0;    

问题 8:不支持多播地址配置

bash 复制代码
Kni: kni_add_dev: fail to set mac FA:27:00:00:0A:02 for dpdk0.kni: Timer expired
Kni: kni_add_dev: fail to set mac FA:27:00:00:0B:F6 for dpdk1.kni: Timer expired
NETIF: multicast address add failed for device dpdk0
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Start dpdk0 failed, skipping ...

# 解决:关闭多播功能
    //ret = idev_add_mcast_init(port);
    //if (ret != EDPVS_OK) {
    //    RTE_LOG(WARNING, NETIF, "multicast address add failed for device %s\n", port->name);
    //    return ret;
    //}

问题 9:LB connect pool 内存太小,程序崩溃退出。

bash 复制代码
$ ./ipvsadm -A -t 10.0.0.100:80 -s rr
[sockopt_msg_recv] socket msg header recv error -- 0/88 recieved  

IPVS: lb_conn_hash_table_init: lcore 0: create conn_hash_tbl failed. Requested size: 1073741824 bytes. LB_CONN_CACHE_LINES_DEF: 1, LB_CONN_TBL_SIZE: 16777216

# 解决方式 1:继续加大页内存到实际需要的大小。
# 解决方式 2:
#	1):释放一个 lcore 的大页内存
#	2):调小 DPVS_CONN_POOL_SIZE_DEF 从 2097152 减少到 1048576
//#define DPVS_CONN_POOL_SIZE_DEF     2097152
#define DPVS_CONN_POOL_SIZE_DEF     1048576

问题 10:编译器版本低缺少编译指令。

bash 复制代码
error: inlining failed in call to always_inline   "'_mm256_cmpeq_epi64_mask':"  : target specific option mismatch

# 解决:
# 1)升级 GCC 版本到 9.4.0
# 2)确定 CPU 支持指令集。ref:https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/intrinsics-guide/index.html#expand=3828,301,2553&text=_mm256_cmpeq_epi64_mask&ig_expand=872

最后

值得注意的是上述问题记录是笔者在低配开发机中调试程序时所遇见的问题,实际上在一个资源充足的物理测试机上通常不会出现由于资源不足导致的大部分问题。

最后,本篇主要介绍了 Intel HDSLB 的基本运行原理和部署配置的方式,希望能够帮助读者们顺利的把 HDSLB-DPVS 项目 "玩" 起来。后面,我们将再次开发机环境的基础之上,通过《Intel HDSLB 高性能四层负载均衡器 --- 高级特性和代码剖析》,继续深入挖掘 HDSLB-DPVS 的高级特性、软件架构分析和代码解读。敬请继续期待。:)
