[PATCH] Speed up modprobe and MAKEDEV

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

 



Hi!

Given the recent 5sec boot efforts http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/
and Mandriva follow-ups on that http://lwn.net/Articles/300873/,
I thought I'd share my modprobe and MAKEDEV speedup patches with
a wider community so folks can experiment with them, especially seeing
Mandriva folks playing with turning modprobe into a daemon because of its
slowness.

modprobe is quite slow, as it on every invocation sources a ~ 7500
line long modules.alias file from which it calls fnmatch on the wildcards
from every line, and a ~ 350KB modules.dep file which it searches through
for module dependencies, but usually those files are just generated by
depmod -a and never modified by humans afterwards.  This patch in depmod -a
in addition to generation of the text files writes more compact binary files
which are only used if the text file hasn't been modified and allow much
faster searching for aliases or dependencies.
MAKEDEV sources almost 500KB of config files on every invocation, and the
inner loop is terribly inefficient.  The second patch allows it to shrink
the files to 55KB while expressing the same info and makes the inner loop
more efficient.  Depending on how many modprobe and MAKEDEV invocations
are done on your box during bootup, this can or might not make meassurable
difference.

The modprobe patch has been actually posted almost a year ago privately,
but nothing has been changed upstream, below is an updated version, retested
against latest rawhide module-init-tools, the MAKEDEV patch is actually from
last week.  IMHO the binary caches for modprobe are better than
having thousands of symlinks around (given 7500 wildcards where for many of
them a few dozens of symlinks would be needed), especially if the symlinks
would be included in rpm package, but I can be of course convinced
otherwise.  In any case, the module-init-tools contains a bunch of speedups
that are IMHO desirable anyway, even without the modules.{dep,alias}cache
files.

For modules.dep depmod -a also creates modules.depcache which is just  
a simple hash table with chains and a dumb fast compression of strings,
so that modules.depcache is roughly 3 times smaller than modules.dep.
The hash function already makes no difference between _ and -, so for dep
lookups all it needs is compute the hash, walk the chain, comparing full
32-bit hash value and if that hits, compare also modname string, on success
just return that and its dependencies.

For modules.alias it creates modules.aliascache, which contains a tree.
Each tree node has 0 or more associated fnmatch wildcards that need to be
fnmatched at that level unconditionally, then some fixed number of
characters and prefixes of up to that length can be binary searched to
find further node.  The further node can be of 3 types - either again
a normal range node, or just a pointer to a result (if all chars have been
already compared), or an entry containing remaining chars to strncmp and
pointer to result.  Guess better is just to read the algorithm in modprobe.c
for details.  When reading modules.alias, modprobe always calls fnmatch
on all patterns in there and fnmatch is quite expensive.  With
modules.aliascache, for some strings which don't have any wildcards in it,
fnmatch isn't called at all, otherwise it is called only on wildcards where
its prefix consisting of non-wildcard chars matches the input.

Both modules.depcache and modules.aliascache contain a file header, which
embeds a version number, endianity and mtime/ino/size of the corresponding
modules.{dep,alias} file - in case it is hand edited later, modprobe won't
use the cache which will be stale in that case, until regenerated.

In addition to these changes there are some small cleanups here and there,
e.g. as modprobe and depmod aren't threaded we can speed things up quite a
lot by using _unlocked functions, or there is no point for every
getline_wrapped to malloc new chunk of memory and let the caller free it
(almost) immediately again.
