nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3
This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period. This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time. When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments. Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction, however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction. This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from transaction lock and put it before the transaction. I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition. I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks before starting the benchmark. Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request statistics, which is min/max and avg. I ran each test three times and bellow is average of those numers. According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated. However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved. This can address a few seconds write freeze. - random write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.843ms max 680.406ms avg 3.050ms - random write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.843ms -> 100.00% max 380.490ms -> 55.90% avg 3.233ms -> 106.00% - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.736ms max 774.343ms avg 2.883ms - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.720ms -> 97.80% max 644.280ms-> 83.20% avg 3.130ms -> 108.50% -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- protection_period 150 selection_policy timestamp # timestamp in ascend order nsegments_per_clean 2 cleaning_interval 2 retry_interval 60 use_mmap log_priority info -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp> Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
