Do you think of it? If you don't like above idea. Do you have any good suggestion on how to remove hot_inode_item and hot_range_item? > otherwise the above OOM situation would not be occurring. > > Cheers, > > Dave. > > (*) Tested on an empty 17TB XFS filesystem with: > > $ sudo mkfs.xfs -f -l size=131072b,sunit=8 /dev/vdc > meta-data=/dev/vdc isize=256 agcount=17, agsize=268435455 blks > = sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=0 > data = bsize=4096 blocks=4563402735, imaxpct=5 > = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks > naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 > log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=131072, version=2 > = sectsz=512 sunit=1 blks, lazy-count=1 > realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 > $ sudo mount -o logbsize=256k /dev/vdc /mnt/scratch > $ sudo chmod 777 /mnt/scratch > $ fs_mark -D 10000 -S0 -n 100000 -s 1 -L 63 -d \ > /mnt/scratch/0 -d /mnt/scratch/1 -d /mnt/scratch/2 -d \ > /mnt/scratch/3 -d /mnt/scratch/4 -d /mnt/scratch/5 -d \ > /mnt/scratch/6 -d /mnt/scratch/7 > ..... > 0 21600000 1 16679.3 12552262 > 0 22400000 1 15412.4 12588587 > 0 23200000 1 16367.6 14199322 > 0 24000000 1 15680.4 15741205 > <hangs here w/ OOM> > > -- > Dave Chinner > david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Regards, Zhi Yong Wu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
