Hi Carlos, Please pull this branch with changes for xfsprogs for 6.6-rc1. As usual, I did a test-merge with the main upstream branch as of a few minutes ago, and didn't see any conflicts. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. The following changes since commit 53bf0604e104bc053778495faef94b3570582aac: mkfs: use a sensible log sector size default (2024-04-17 14:06:27 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfsprogs-dev.git tags/mkfs-scale-geo-on-ssds-6.8_2024-04-17 for you to fetch changes up to c02a18733fc0a0e1b607f75e90962b3adc27c8fa: mkfs: allow sizing internal logs for concurrency (2024-04-17 14:06:27 -0700) ---------------------------------------------------------------- mkfs: scale shards on ssds [08/20] For a long time, the maintainers have had a gut feeling that we could optimize performance of XFS filesystems on non-mechanical storage by scaling the number of allocation groups to be a multiple of the CPU count. With modern ~2022 hardware, it is common for systems to have more than four CPU cores and non-striped SSDs ranging in size from 256GB to 4TB. The default mkfs geometry still defaults to 4 AGs regardless of core count, which was settled on in the age of spinning rust. This patchset adds a different computation for AG count and log size that is based entirely on a desired level of concurrency. If we detect storage that is non-rotational (or the sysadmin provides a CLI option), then we will try to match the AG count to the CPU count to minimize AGF contention and make the log large enough to minimize grant head contention. This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy! Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Darrick J.
