[RFC PATCH v3 00/61] Introduce parallel fsck to e2fsck pass1

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

 



Currently it has been popular that single disk could be more than TiB,
etc 16Tib with only one single disk, with this trend, one single
filesystem could be larger and larger and easily reach PiB with LUN system.

The journal filesystem like ext4 need be offline to do regular
check and repair from time to time, however the problem is e2fsck
still do this using single thread, this could be challenging at scale
for two reasons:

1) even with readahead, IO speed still limits several tens MiB per second.
2) could not utilize CPU cores.

It could be challenging to try multh-threads for all phase of e2fsck, but as
first step, we might try this for most time-consuming pass1, according to
our benchmarking it cost of 80% time for whole e2fck phase.

Pass1 is trying to scanning all valid inode of filesystem and check it one by
one, and the patchset idea is trying to split these to different threads and
trying to do this at the same time, we try to merge these inodes and corresponding
inode's extent information after threads finish.

To simplify complexity and make it less error-prone, the fix is still serialized,
since most of time there will be only minor errors for filesystem, what's important
for us is parallel reading and checking.

Here is a benchmarking on our Lustre filesystem with 1.2 PiB OSD ext4 based
filesystem:

DDN SFA18KE StorageServer
DCR(DeClustering RAID) with 162 x HGST 10TB NL-SAS
Tested Server
A Virtual Machine running on SFA18KE
8 x CPU cores (Xeon(R) Gold 6140)
150GB memory
CentoOS7.7 (Lustre patched kernel)

Created 600 Million x 32K byte files.

Without Patch		With Patch  thr=64
pass1: 13079.66		488.57 seconds
Total: 15673.33		3188.42

We have 5x total time reduction of total time which is very inspiring.

I've tested the whole patch series using 'make test' of e2fsck itself, and i
manually set default threads to 4 which still pass almost of test suite,
failure cases are below:

f_h_badroot f_multithread f_multithread_logfile f_multithread_no f_multithread_ok

h_h_badroot failed because out of order checking output, and others are because
of extra multiple threads log output.

The other test i've done to verify is:
1) filled a filesystem with different features enabled(encryption, shared xattr)
2) copied the above image out using e2image.
3) using e2fuzz to randomly corrupt above image, and then have another copy of
corrupted image.
4) running e2fsck with single thread(without patches) and multiple threads with
corrupted image respectively.
5) using valgrind to check any memory leak.
6) compare single thread and multiple threads fix results by mounting two images
back and compare the directores and files.(size and name match)

Any review or comments are welcomed!

Thanks you very much!
