[PATCH] xfs: byte range buffer dirty region tracking

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

 



From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

One of the biggest performance problems with large directory block
sizes is the CPU overhead in maintaining the buffer log item direty
region bitmap.  The bit manipulations and buffer region mapping
calls are right at the top of the profiles when running tests on 64k
directory buffers:

  14.65%  [kernel]             [k] memcpy
   8.57%  [kernel]             [k] xfs_next_bit
   4.96%  [kernel]             [k] xfs_buf_item_format
   4.83%  [kernel]             [k] xfs_buf_item_size_segment.isra.4
   4.44%  [kernel]             [k] xfs_buf_offset



The memcpy is the copying of the dirty regions into the log vec
array, but almost twice as much CPU time is spent working out what
needs to be copied and where it needs to be copied from. As a
result, a debug kernel running a parallel fsmark file create
workload we see performance like this on a 64k block size directory:

FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0      1600000            0     175994.3         13120040
     0      3200000            0     167829.7         14089107
     0      4800000            0     159274.7         15217029
     0      6400000            0     150097.3         16543647
....

In contrast, a 4k directory block size returns create rates around
310,000 files/s - almost 3x faster for the same CPU burn.

This patch switching the dirty range tracking to just the first and
last modified bytes in 4 separate regions on the buffer. This only
gets converted to a bitmap when the item is formatted into the CIL
log vector array.  Hence the profile of the relevant formatting
functions now looks like:

  22.21%  [kernel]  [k] memcpy
   0.51%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_buf_item_init
   0.49%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_buf_item_unlock
   0.39%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_buf_item_size
   0.29%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_buf_item_format
   0.20%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_buf_item_log
   0.14%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_buf_item_committing

And the performance is:

FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0      1600000            0     224963.5         12631894
     0      3200000            0     226142.4         12608851
     0      4800000            0     237453.1         12509915
     0      6400000            0     233356.8         12939907

Substantially higher.
`
The memcpy time is higher because that's where we spend most of
the CPU we saved - in the buffer formatting routine:

....
       __xfs_trans_commit
        xfs_log_commit_cil
        xfs_buf_item_format
        xfs_buf_item_format_segment
        xfs_buf_iomove
        memcpy

Hence we can see that there is major reduction in buffer formatting
overhead that translates to improved performance.

The current implementation tracks, at most, four dirty regions per
buffer.  The nature of directory operations result in almost
operation modifying a header in the buffer, a tail section in the
buffer and then some number of bytes/regions in the middle of the
buffer.

If we just track a single region, it will almost always cover the
entire directory buffer as we do updates to both the head and tail
of most directory buffers.  That's a fairly large cost in terms of
log space and CPU overhead for random individual operations.
Similarly, increasing the number of regions to 8 (from 4) reduces
performance by 5-10%, so the gains from tracking multiple regions
tail off very quickly.

We also have to consider non-directory buffer modification patterns.
freespace, inode and extent btrees are the other major types of
buffers that get logged, but they also have modification patterns
that lend themselves well to a small number of ranges for dirty
tracking. That is, each btree block is kept compact, so when we
insert or remove a record or pointer we shift then higher
records/ptrs up or down as a block, and then log the lot of them.
And they also often have a header that is dirtied with each
insert/delete, so typically there are usually only one or two dirty
ranges in a btree block.

The only metadata type that really seems to benefit from fine
grained dirty range logging is the inode buffers. Specifically, for
v4 superblocks the create transaction only dirties the regions of
the inode core, so for 256 byte inodes only dirties every alternate
bitmap segment.  Dirty range tracking will double the required log
bandwidth of inode buffers during create (roughly 25% increase on a
4k directory block size filesystem). Typically this won't result in
a noticable performance differential (except in inode creation
benchmarks) on typical systems because the log is generally far from
being bandwidth bound.

For v5 filesystems, even this isn't an issue because the initialised
inode buffers are XFS_BLI_ORDERED buffers and so their contents
aren't logged.

The same problem happens with unlinks due to the unlinked list being
logged via the inode buffer. Again this results in an increase
in log bandwidth on both v4 and v5 filesystems, but there isn't any
performance differential that occurs because, again, the log isn't
bandwidth bound. As it is, there is an existing plan of improvement
to the unlinked list logging (moving the unlinked list logging into
the inode core transaction) and hence that will avoid any extra
overhead here as well.

Hence the overall CPU reduction benefits of minimal dirty range
tracking versus fine grained dirty bit tracking are overall going to
be beneficial to performance and throughput on current (v5) format
filesystems.
