When logging a directory and inserting a batch of directory items, we are
copying the data of each item from a leaf in the fs/subvolume tree to a
leaf in a log tree, separately. This is not really needed, since we are
copying from a contiguous memory area into another one, so we can use a
single copy operation to copy all items at once.
This patch is part of a small patchset that is comprised of the following
patches:
btrfs: loop only once over data sizes array when inserting an item batch
btrfs: unexport setup_items_for_insert()
btrfs: use single bulk copy operations when logging directories
This is patch 3/3.
The following test was used to compare performance of a branch without the
patchset versus one branch that has the whole patchset applied:
$ cat dir-fsync-test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
MNT=/mnt/nvme0n1
NUM_NEW_FILES=1000000
NUM_FILE_DELETES=1000
LEAF_SIZE=16K
mkfs.btrfs -f -n $LEAF_SIZE $DEV
mount -o ssd $DEV $MNT
mkdir $MNT/testdir
for ((i = 1; i <= $NUM_NEW_FILES; i++)); do
echo -n > $MNT/testdir/file_$i
done
# Fsync the directory, this will log the new dir items and the inodes
# they point to, because these are new inodes.
start=$(date +%s%N)
xfs_io -c "fsync" $MNT/testdir
end=$(date +%s%N)
dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
echo "dir fsync took $dur ms after adding $NUM_NEW_FILES files"
# sync to force transaction commit and wipeout the log.
sync
del_inc=$(( $NUM_NEW_FILES / $NUM_FILE_DELETES ))
for ((i = 1; i <= $NUM_NEW_FILES; i += $del_inc)); do
rm -f $MNT/testdir/file_$i
done
# Fsync the directory, this will only log dir items, there are no
# dentries pointing to new inodes.
start=$(date +%s%N)
xfs_io -c "fsync" $MNT/testdir
end=$(date +%s%N)
dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
echo "dir fsync took $dur ms after deleting $NUM_FILE_DELETES files"
umount $MNT
The tests were run on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config)
and were the following:
*** with a leaf size of 16K, before patchset ***
dir fsync took 8482 ms after adding 1000000 files
dir fsync took 166 ms after deleting 1000 files
*** with a leaf size of 16K, after patchset ***
dir fsync took 8196 ms after adding 1000000 files (-3.4%)
dir fsync took 143 ms after deleting 1000 files (-14.9%)
*** with a leaf size of 64K, before patchset ***
dir fsync took 12851 ms after adding 1000000 files
dir fsync took 466 ms after deleting 1000 files
*** with a leaf size of 64K, after patchset ***
dir fsync took 12287 ms after adding 1000000 files (-4.5%)
dir fsync took 414 ms after deleting 1000 files (-11.8%)
