RE: Latency Improvement Report for ShardedOpWQ

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dong,
This is mostly because of lock contention may be. 
You can tweak the number of shards in case of sharded WQ to see if it is improving this number or not. 
There is still one global lock we have; this is to protect pg_for_processing() and this we can't get rid of since we need to maintain op order within a pg. This could be increasing latency as well. I would suggest you to measure this number in different stages within ShardedOpWQ::_process() like after dequeue from pqueue and after getting the pglock and popping the ops from pg_for_processing().

Also, keep in mind there is context switch happening and this could be expensive depending on the data copy etc. It's worth trying this experiment by pinning OSD to may be actual physical cores ?

Thanks & Regards
Somnath

Hi Somnath,

I totally agree with you.

I read the code about  sharded TP and the new OSD OpWQ. In the new implementation, there is not  single lock for all PGs, but each lock
for a subset of PGs(Am I right?).   It is very useful to reduce lock
contention and so increase parallelism. It is an awesome work!

While I am working on the latency of single IO (mainly 4K random write), I notice the OpWQ spent about 100+us to transfer an IO from msg dispatcher to OpWQ worker thread, Do you have any idea to reduce the time span?

Thanks for your help.
Dong.

The benefit with sharded TP is, a single OSD is scaling much more with the increase of clients since it is increasing parallelism (by reducing lock contention) in the filestore level. A quick check could be like this.
