* Support ashift=13 for 8KB SSD block sizesRichard Yao2012-02-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | New SSDs are now available which use an internal 8k block size. To make sure ZFS can get the maximum performance out of these devices we're increasing the maximum ashift to 13 (8KB). This value is still small enough that we can fit 16 uberblocks in the vdev ring label. However, I don't want to increase this any futher or it will limit the ability the safely roll back a pool to recover it. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #565
* Implement SA based xattrsBrian Behlendorf2011-11-281-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden directory. In this directory a file name represents the xattr name and the file contexts are the xattr binary data. This approach is very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs. However, it also suffers from a significant performance penalty. Accessing a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks. 1) Lookup the dnode object. 2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object. 3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory. To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3 and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk. When the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external block is allocated for them. In practice most xattrs are small and this approach works well. The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean way to make this optimization. When the dataset property 'xattr=sa' is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes. This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block. If additional xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be stored using the traditional directory approach. This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4 and xfs (see table below). When multiple xattrs are stored per-file the performance improvements are even greater because all of the xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached. However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port to maximize compatibility with other implementations. If you do enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms which do not support this feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Time in seconds to get/set one xattr of N bytes on 100,000 files ------+--------------------------------+------------------------------ | setxattr | getxattr bytes | ext4 xfs zfs-dir zfs-sa | ext4 xfs zfs-dir zfs-sa ------+--------------------------------+------------------------------ 1 | 2.33 31.88 21.50 4.57 | 2.35 2.64 6.29 2.43 32 | 2.79 30.68 21.98 4.60 | 2.44 2.59 6.78 2.48 256 | 3.25 31.99 21.36 5.92 | 2.32 2.71 6.22 3.14 1024 | 3.30 32.61 22.83 8.45 | 2.40 2.79 6.24 3.27 4096 | 3.57 317.46 22.52 10.73 | 2.78 28.62 6.90 3.94 16384 | n/a 2342.39 34.30 19.20 | n/a 45.44 145.90 7.55 65536 | n/a 2941.39 128.15 131.32* | n/a 141.92 256.85 262.12* Legend: * ext4 - Stock RHEL6.1 ext4 mounted with '-o user_xattr'. * xfs - Stock RHEL6.1 xfs mounted with default options. * zfs-dir - Directory based xattrs only. * zfs-sa - Prefer SAs but spill in to directories as needed, a trailing * indicates overflow in to directories occured.

* Limit maximum ashift value to 12Brian Behlendorf2011-11-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While we initially allowed you to set your ashift as large as 17 (SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE) that is actually unsafe. What wasn't considered at the time is that each uberblock written to the vdev label ring buffer will be of this size. Now the buffer is statically sized to 128k and we need to be able to fit several uberblocks in it. With a large ashift that becomes a problem. Therefore I'm reducing the maximum configurable ashift value to 12. This is large enough for the 4k sector drives and small enough that we can still keep the most recent 32 uberblock in the vdev label ring buffer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a "REFRATIO" property, which is the compression ratio based on data referenced. For snapshots, this is the same as COMPRESSRATIO, but for filesystems/volumes, the COMPRESSRATIO is based on the data "USED" (ie, includes blocks in children, but not blocks shared with the origin). This is needed to figure out how much space a filesystem would use if it were not compressed (ignoring snapshots).

* Add "ashift" property to zpool createChristian Kohlschütter2011-06-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some disks with internal sectors larger than 512 bytes (e.g., 4k) can suffer from bad write performance when ashift is not configured correctly. This is caused by the disk not reporting its actual sector size, but a sector size of 512 bytes. The drive may behave this way for compatibility reasons. For example, the WDC WD20EARS disks are known to exhibit this behavior. When creating a zpool, ZFS takes that wrong sector size and sets the "ashift" property accordingly (to 9: 1<<9=512), whereas it should be set to 12 for 4k sectors (1<<12=4096). This patch allows an adminstrator to manual specify the known correct ashift size at 'zpool create' time. This can significantly improve performance in certain cases. However, it will have an impact on your total pool capacity. See the updated ashift property description in the zpool.8 man page for additional details. Valid values for the ashift property range from 9 to 17 (512B-128KB). Additionally, you may set the ashift to 0 if you wish to auto-detect the sector size based on what the disk reports, this is the default behavior. The most common ashift values are 9 and 12.

* Add basic uio supportBrian Behlendorf2011-02-102-0/+256
| | | | | | | | This code originates in OpenSolaris and was modified by KQ Infotech to be compatible with Linux. While supporting uios in the short term is useful to get something working this is not an abstraction we want to keep. This code is expected to be short lived and removed as soon as all the remaining uio based APIs and updated.
* Support custom build directories and move includesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-087-1301/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can build the project various different ways while making changes in a single source tree. For example, this project is designed to work on various different Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This means that changes need to verified on each of those supported distributions perferably before the change is committed to the public git repo. Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier. I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a change to the source base I suspect may break things I can concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each in their own subdirectory. wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz cd zfs-x-y-z ------------------------- run concurrently ---------------------- <ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system> mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6 cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6 ../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure make make make make make check make check make check make check This change also moves many of the include headers from individual incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single top level include directory. This has the advantage of making the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.

* Add linux eventsBrian Behlendorf2010-08-311-1/+3

This new system is called zevent and it unifies all previous Solaris style ereports and sysevent notifications. Under this Linux specific scheme when a sysevent or ereport event occurs an nvlist describing the event is created which looks almost exactly like a Solaris ereport. These events are queued up in the kernel when they occur and conditionally logged to the console. It is then up to a user space application to consume the events and do whatever it likes with them. To make this possible the existing /dev/zfs ABI has been extended with two new ioctls which behave as follows. * ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_NEXT Get the next pending event. The kernel will keep track of the last event consumed by the file descriptor and provide the next one if available. If no new events are available the ioctl() will block waiting for the next event. This ioctl may also be called in a non-blocking mode by setting zc.zc_guid = ZEVENT_NONBLOCK. In the non-blocking case if no events are available ENOENT will be returned. It is possible that ESHUTDOWN will be returned if the ioctl() is called while module unloading is in progress. And finally ENOMEM may occur if the provided nvlist buffer is not large enough to contain the entire event. * ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_CLEAR Clear are events queued by the kernel. The kernel will keep a fairly large number of recent events queued, use this ioctl to clear the in kernel list. This will effect all user space processes consuming events. The zpool command has been extended to use this events ABI with the 'events' subcommand. You may run 'zpool events -v' to output a verbose log of all recent events. This is very similar to the Solaris 'fmdump -ev' command with the key difference being it also includes what would be considered sysevents under Solaris. You may also run in follow mode with the '-f' option. To clear the in kernel event queue use the '-c' option. $ sudo cmd/zpool/zpool events -fv TIME CLASS May 13 2010 16:31:15.777711000 ereport.fs.zfs.config.sync class = "ereport.fs.zfs.config.sync" ena = 0x40982b7897700001 detector = (embedded nvlist) version = 0x0 scheme = "zfs" pool = 0xed976600de75dfa6 (end detector) time = 0x4bec8bc3 0x2e5aed98 pool = "zpios" pool_guid = 0xed976600de75dfa6 pool_context = 0x0 While the 'zpool events' command is handy for interactive debugging it is not expected to be the primary consumer of zevents. This ABI was primarily added to facilitate the addition of a user space monitoring daemon. This daemon would consume all events posted by the kernel and based on the type of event perform an action. For most events simply forwarding them on to syslog is likely enough. But this interface also cleanly allows for more sophisticated actions to be taken such as generating an email for a failed drive.
