[PATCH] makedumpfile: --split: assign fair I/O workloads for each process

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

 



From: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When --split option is specified, fair I/O workloads should be
assigned for each process to maximize amount of performance
optimization by parallel processing.

However, the current implementation of setup_splitting() in cyclic
mode doesn't care about filtering at all; I/O workloads for each
process could be biased easily.

This patch deals with the issue by implementing the fair I/O workload
assignment as setup_splitting_cyclic().

Note: If --split is specified in cyclic mode, we do filtering three
times: in get_dumpable_pages_cyclic(), in setup_splitting_cyclic() and
in writeout_dumpfile(). Filtering takes about 10 minutes on system
with huge memory according to the benchmark on the past, so it might
be necessary to optimize filtering or setup_filtering_cyclic().
