Description Mohammed Gamal 2016-02-04 17:20:39 UTC

Description of problem:
We're experiencing relatively slow network performance under KVM guests running Windows 2012 and Windows 2008. We are not seeing this problem with Linux guests nevertheless. I suspect it might be due to virtio drivers.

The VMs are running on on 64-core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6386 SE CPU, and are connected to the network through Mellanox Technologies MT26428 Infiniband cards.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win: 62.73.104.11200

Host distro: Debian Wheezy (with custom built 3.12.45 kernel)

Qemu version: 2.0.2

How reproducible:
Always reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a Debian 8 guest with the parameters above
2. Start a Windows 2012 guest with the parameters above
3. Download iperf3 from http://www.iperf.fr for Both Windows and Linux
4. On the Linux guest, install the iperf3 package and run 'iperf3 -s'
5. On the Windows guest, install the iperf3 package and run 'iperf3 -c <iperf_server_address> -p 5201
6. Check the stats produced by iperf
7. Start another Debian 8 guest. Install iperf3 and run 'iperf3 -c <iperf_server_address> -p 5201
8. Compare stats with Windows guest 

Actual results:
The Linux guest produces the following results:
$ iperf3 -c 10.15.90.11 -p 5201

On the other hand Windows guest produce only about 1.5 Gbps average bandwidth (see attached image).

Expected results:
Windows and Linux guests should show similar results.

Just come back from spring festival holiday. And the machine is busy now, we will reproduce it once the machine is free.

According to performance team,windows guest performance is indeed slower than linux guest with netperf tool,let's wait for the detailed data.

Are those guest to guest results? Both sides are Windows and both sides are  RHEL?

Windows ha deficiency without enabled RSC on receive side and will definitely be slower than Linux. While we have implemented RSC - it can be enabled only in compile time because we cannot yet certify such a driver.

Can you test Windows as iperf client (TX only)?

Comment 11 Mohammed Gamal 2016-02-22 09:14:56 UTC

Any progress with this?

Comment 12 Quan Wenli 2016-02-24 03:24:05 UTC

Test 10 virtio-win-prewhql builds, it's not a regression issue. is an old issue from following results. 

rhel 7 guest as iperf3 receiver (iper3 -s)
win2012 64 bits as iperf3 sender (iper3 -c $rhel7_guest_ip -p 5201)

Does this mean it's a known issue? Is there an intention to fix it?

Sure, we will look into performance issues for next release.

Comment 16 Mohammed Gamal 2016-04-04 16:30:11 UTC

Any updates on this?

It is in our development queue.

Comment 22 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2016-04-11 05:58:49 UTC

The receive side performance is related to RSC feature that is currently disabled in our driver (see BZ #950611).

We are working to have certified driver with this feature turned on.

What's the latest state of this bug? I am not sure exactly what is the state of BZ #950611
