From 5d770fe899bdff805fe174a9a0c946c3072b315e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prakash Surya Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2016 16:37:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre: vvp: Use lockless __generic_file_aio_write Testing multi-threaded single shard file write performance has shown the inode mutex to be a limiting factor when using the generic_file_write_iter function. To work around this bottle neck, this change replaces the locked version of that call with the lock less version, specifically, __generic_file_write_iter. In order to maintain posix consistency, Lustre must now employ it's own locking mechanism in the higher layers. Currently writes are protected using the lli_write_mutex in the ll_inode_info structure. To protect against simultaneous write and truncate operations, since we no longer take the inode mutex during writes, we must down the lli_trunc_sem semaphore. Unfortunately, this change by itself does not garner any performance benefits. Using FIO on a single machine with 32 GB of RAM, write performance tests were ran with and without this change applied; the results are below: +---------+-----------+---------+--------+--------+ | fio v2.0.13 | Write Bandwidth (KB/s) | +---------+-----------+---------+--------+--------+ | # Tasks | GB / Task | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | +---------+-----------+---------+--------+--------+ | 1 | 64 | 452446 | 454623 | 457653 | | 2 | 32 | 850318 | 565373 | 602498 | | 4 | 16 | 1058900 | 463546 | 529107 | | 8 | 8 | 1026300 | 468190 | 576451 | | 16 | 4 | 1065500 | 503160 | 462902 | | 32 | 2 | 1068600 | 462228 | 466963 | | 64 | 1 | 991830 | 556618 | 557863 | +---------+-----------+---------+--------+--------+ * Test 1: Lustre client running 04ec54f. File per process write workload. This test was used as a baseline for what we _could_ achieve in the single shared file tests if the bottle necks were removed. * Test 2: Lustre client running 04ec54f. Single shared file workload, each task writing to a unique region. * Test 3: Lustre client running 04ec54f + this patch. Single shared file workload, each task writing to a unique region. In order to garner any real performance benefits out of a single shared file workload, the lli_write_mutex needs to be broken up into a range lock. That would allow write operations to unique regions of a file to be executed concurrently. This work is left to be done in a follow up patch.
