Hello, These are the patches for the bare bones pre-content fanotify support. The majority of this work is Amir's, my contribution to this has solely been around adding the page fault hooks, testing and validating everything. I'm sending it because Amir is traveling a bunch, and I touched it last so I'm going to take all the hate and he can take all the credit. There is a PoC that I've been using to validate this work, you can find the git repo here https://github.com/josefbacik/remote-fetch This consists of 3 different tools. 1. populate. This just creates all the stub files in the directory from the source directory. Just run ./populate ~/linux ~/hsm-linux and it'll recursively create all of the stub files and directories. 2. remote-fetch. This is the actual PoC, you just point it at the source and destination directory and then you can do whatever. ./remote-fetch ~/linux ~/hsm-linux. 3. mmap-validate. This was to validate the pagefault thing, this is likely what will be turned into the selftest with remote-fetch. It creates a file and then you can validate the file matches the right pattern with both normal reads and mmap. Normally I do something like ./mmap-validate create ~/src/foo ./populate ~/src ~/dst ./rmeote-fetch ~/src ~/dst ./mmap-validate validate ~/dst/foo I did a bunch of testing, I also got some performance numbers. I copied a kernel tree, and then did remote-fetch, and then make -j4 Normal real 9m49.709s user 28m11.372s sys 4m57.304s HSM real 10m6.454s user 29m10.517s sys 5m2.617s So ~17 seconds more to build with HSM. I then did a make mrproper on both trees to see the size [root@fedora ~]# du -hs /src/linux 1.6G /src/linux [root@fedora ~]# du -hs dst 125M dst This mirrors the sort of savings we've seen in production. Meta has had these patches (minus the page fault patch) deployed in production for almost a year with our own utility for doing on-demand package fetching. The savings from this has been pretty significant. The page-fault hooks are necessary for the last thing we need, which is on-demand range fetching of executables. Some of our binaries are several gigs large, having the ability to remote fetch them on demand is a huge win for us not only with space savings, but with startup time of containers. There will be tests for this going into LTP once we're satisfied with the patches and they're on their way upstream.
