Mount with both dioread_nolock and nodelalloc will result in huge
performance drop, which indeed is an known issue, so before we fix
this issue, currently we disable this behaviour. Below test reproducer
can reveal this performance drop.
mount -o remount,dioread_nolock,delalloc /dev/vdb1
rm -f testfile
start_time=$(date +%s)
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=4096 count=$((1024*256))
sync
end_time=$(date +%s)
echo $((end_time - start_time))
mount -o remount,dioread_nolock,nodelalloc /dev/vdb1
rm -f testfile
start_time=$(date +%s)
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=4096 count=$((1024*256))
sync
end_time=$(date +%s)
echo $((end_time - start_time))
