Currently RPC performance metrics that tabulate elapsed time use jiffies time values. This is problematic on systems that use slow jiffies (for instance 100HZ systems built for paravirtualized environments). It is also a problem for computing precise latency statistics for advanced network transports, such as InfiniBand, that can have round-trip latencies significanly faster than a single clock tick. For the RPC client, adopt the high resolution time stamp mechanism already used by the network layer and blktrace: ktime. We use ktime format time stamps for all internal computations, and convert to milliseconds for presentation. As a result, we need only addition operations in the performance critical paths; multiply/divide is required only for presentation. We could report RTT metrics in microseconds. In fact the mountstats format is versioned to accomodate exactly this kind of interface improvement. For now, however, we'll stay with millisecond precision for presentation to maintain backwards compatibility with the handful of currently deployed user space tools. At a later point, we'll move to an API such as BDI_STATS where a finer timestamp precision can be reported.

|
|
* RPC client per-operation statistics provide latency and retry
|
|
* information about each type of RPC procedure in a given RPC program.
|
|
* These statistics are not for detailed problem diagnosis, but simply
|
|
* to indicate whether the problem is local or remote.
|
|
*
|
|
* These counters are not meant to be human-readable, but are meant to be
|
|
* integrated into system monitoring tools such as "sar" and "iostat". As
|
|
* such, the counters are sampled by the tools over time, and are never
|
|
* zeroed after a file system is mounted. Moving averages can be computed
|
|
* by the tools by taking the difference between two instantaneous samples
|
|
* and dividing that by the time between the samples.
|
|
*
|
|
* The counters are maintained in a single array per RPC client, indexed
|
|
* by procedure number. There is no need to maintain separate counter
|
|
* arrays per-CPU because these counters are always modified behind locks.
