Hi sheepdog list, nice to meet you.
This patch implements writeback cache semantics in backend
store of sheep. Current backend store farm calls open() with
O_DSYNC, so every object write causes slow disk access. This incurs
overhead and this overhead is not necessary. Because current qemu
block driver invokes SD_OP_FLUSH_VDI explicitly for object
cache. Flushing disk cache with the invocation of SD_OP_FLUSH_VDI
instead of every object write is enough for current sheep.
For improving performance by reducing needless disk access, this patch
adds new inter-sheep operation SD_OP_FLUSH_PEER. This operation is
used in a situation like this:
qemu sends SD_OP_FLUSH_VDI -> gateway sheep sends SD_OP_FLUSH_PEER ->
other sheeps
And sheeps which received SD_OP_FLUSH_PEER flush disk cache with
syncfs() system call.
Below is the evaluation result with dbench:
Before applying this patch, without -s (O_SYNC) option:
Throughput 13.9269 MB/sec 1 clients 1 procs max_latency=818.428 ms
Before applying this patch, with -s option:
Throughput 2.76792 MB/sec (sync open) 1 clients 1 procs
max_latency=291.670 ms
After applying this patch, without -s option:
Throughput 29.7306 MB/sec 1 clients 1 procs max_latency=1344.463 ms
After applying this patch, with -s option:
Throughput 4.29357 MB/sec (sync open) 1 clients 1 procs
max_latency=450.045 ms
This patch adds new command line option -W to sheep. With -W, sheep
uses writeback cache semantics in backend store. I added this new
option mainly for easy testing and evaluation. If writeback cache
semantics is more suitable than the previous writethrough semantics as
default, I'll delete this option again.
This patch may contain lots of bad code because I'm new to sheepdog.
I'd like to hear your comments.
