Message-Id: <1377186876-57291-1-git-send-email-tmac@hp.com> Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:54:34 -0600 From: T Makphaibulchoke <tmac@...com> To: tytso@....edu, adilger.kernel@...ger.ca, viro@...iv.linux.org.uk, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org Cc: aswin@...com, torvalds@...ux-foundation.org, T Makphaibulchoke <tmac@...com> Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] ext4: increase mbcache scalability The patch consists of two parts. The first part introduces higher degree of parallelism to the usages of the mb_cache and mb_cache_entries and impacts all ext filesystems. The second part of the patch further increases the scalablity of an ext4 filesystem by having each ext4 fielsystem allocate and use its own private mbcache structure, instead of sharing a single mcache structures across all ext4 filesystems Here are some of the benchmark results with the changes. On a 90 core machine: Here are the performance improvements in some of the aim7 workloads, --------------------------- | | % increase | --------------------------- | alltests | 11.85 | --------------------------- | custom | 14.42 | --------------------------- | fserver | 21.36 | --------------------------- | new_dbase | 5.59 | --------------------------- | new_fserver | 21.45 | --------------------------- | shared | 12.84 | --------------------------- For Swingbench dss workload, with 16 GB database, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Users | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % imprvoment | 8.46 | 8.00 | 7.35 | -.313| 1.09 | 0.69 | 0.30 | 2.18 | 5.23 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % imprvoment |45.66 |47.62 |34.54 |25.15 |15.29 | 3.38 | -8.7 |-4.98 |-7.86 | | without using| | | | | | | | | | | shared memory| | | | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For SPECjbb2013, composite run, -------------------------------------------- | | max-jOPS | critical-jOPS | -------------------------------------------- | % improvement | 5.99 | N/A | -------------------------------------------- On an 80 core machine: The aim7's results for most of the workloads turn out to the same.
