Hello, everyone,
I have been trying to optimize "ls" performance for Glusterfs recently. My volume is disperse(48 bricks with redundancy 16), and I mount it with fuse. I create 10000 little files in mount point. Then I execute "ls" command. In my cluster, it takes about 3 seconds. I have a question about fuse_getattr function in "fuse-bridge.c" . Why need we check whether nodeid is equal to 1? , which means it is the mount point. It is hard for me to get its meaning. (In my case, I find the operation of fuse_getattr takes neer half time for "ls", that is why I want to know what the check means. )
I try to disable the special check, and then test "ls". It works normally and have a speedup 2x(about 1.3s without check). The reason is that in my case, "lookup" cost is much higher than "stat". Without the special check, getattr goes into "stat" instead of "lookup".
Could you tell me the meaning of the special check for "nodeid == 1"? I would appreciate it if anyone could give some tips . Thank you!
