[PATCH 7/8] xfs_scrub: don't trim the first agbno of each AG for better performance

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

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

On a 10TB filesystem where the free space in each AG is heavily
fragmented, I noticed some very high runtimes on a FITRIM call for the
entire filesystem.  xfs_scrub likes to report progress information on
each phase of the scrub, which means that a strace for the entire
filesystem:

ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x0, len=10995116277760, minlen=0}) = 0 <686.209839>

shows that scrub is uncommunicative for the entire duration.  Reducing
the size of the FITRIM requests to a single AG at a time produces lower
times for each individual call, but even this isn't quite acceptable,
because the time between progress reports are still very high:

Strace for the first 4x 1TB AGs looks like (2):
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x0, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <68.352033>
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x10000000000, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <68.760323>
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x20000000000, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <67.235226>
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x30000000000, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <69.465744>

I then had the idea to limit the length parameter of each call to a
smallish amount (~11GB) so that we could report progress relatively
quickly, but much to my surprise, each FITRIM call still took ~68
seconds!

Unfortunately, the by-length fstrim implementation handles this poorly
because it walks the entire free space by length index (cntbt), which is
a very inefficient way to walk a subset of an AG.

Therefore, we created a second implementation that will walk the bnobt
and perform the trims in block number order.  This implementation avoids
the worst problems of the original code, though it lacks the desirable
attribute of freeing the biggest chunks first.

On the other hand, this second implementation will be much easier to
constrain the system call latency, and makes it much easier to report
fstrim progress to anyone who's running xfs_scrub.  Skip the first block
of each AG to ensure that we get the sub-AG algorithm.
