Hi all, I've been doing some more testing with these patches, I applied all of the patches (v10 from https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-nfs/list/?series=691729) apart from Patch 6 (the RFC patch) to version 6.0.8 of the kernel. I have the following setup: Source NFS Server <-- Re-Export Server (with FS-Cache) <-- NFS Client. I have a 500Gb file on the Source NFS Server, which I am then copying to the NFS Client via the Re-Export Server. On the first copy, I see heavy writes to /var/cache/fscache on the re-export server, and once the file copy completes I see that /var/cache/fscache is approximately 500Gb in size. All good so far. I then deleted that file from the NFS Client, and dropped the caches just to be safe (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches on the NFS Client). I then performed another copy of the 500Gb file on the NFS Client, again via the Re-Export Server. What I expected would happen is that I would see heavy reads from the /var/cache/fscache volume as the file should be served from FS-Cache. However what I actually saw was no reads whatsoever, FS-Cache seems to be ignored and the file is pulled from the Source NFS Filer again. I also see heavy writes to /var/cache/fscache, so it appears that FS-Cache is overwriting its existing cache, and never using it. I only have 104Gb of memory on the Re-Export Server (with FS-Cache) so it is not possible that the file is being served from the page cache. We saw this behaviour before on an older set of the patches when our mount between the Re-Export Server and the Source NFS Filer was using the "sync" option, but we are now using the "async" option and the same is happening. Mount options: Source NFS Server <-- Re-Export Server (with FS-Cache): 10.0.0.49:/files /srv/nfs/files nfs rw,noatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,acregmin=600,acregmax=600,acdirmin=600,acdirmax=600,hard,nocto,proto=tcp,nconnect=16,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.0.0.49,mountvers=3,mountport=37485,mountproto=tcp,fsc,local_lock=none,addr=10.0.0.49 Re-Export Server (with FS-Cache) <-- NFS Client: 10.0.0.3:/files /mnt/nfs nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.0.0.3,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=tcp,local_lock=none,addr=10.0.0.3 It is also worth noting this behaviour is not unique to the re-export use case. I see FS-Cache not being used with the following setup: Source NFS Server <-- Client (with FS-Cache). Thanks, Ben Kind Regards Benjamin Maynard Customer Engineer benmaynard@xxxxxxxxxx Google, Inc.
