Subject: [PATCH v6 00/11] VFS hot tracking
From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
The patchset is trying to introduce hot tracking function in
VFS layer, which will keep track of real disk I/O in memory.
By it, you will easily know more details about disk I/O, and
then detect where disk I/O hot spots are. Also, specific FS
can take use of it to do accurate defragment, and hot relocation
support, etc.
Now it's time to send out its V6 for external review, and
any comments or ideas are appreciated, thanks.
NOTE:
The patchset can be obtained via my kernel dev git on github:
git://github.com/wuzhy/kernel.git hot_tracking
If you're interested, you can also review them via
https://github.com/wuzhy/kernel/commits/hot_tracking
For how to use and more other info and performance report,
please check hot_tracking.txt in Documentation and following
links:
1.) http://lwn.net/Articles/525651/
2.) https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/20/199
This patchset has been done scalability or performance tests
by fs_mark, ffsb and compilebench.
The perf testings were done on Linux 3.12.0-rc7 with Model IBM,8231-E2C
Big Endian PPC64 with 64 CPUs and 2 NUMA nodes, 250G RAM and 1.50 TiB
test hard disk where each test file size is 20G or 100G.
Architecture: ppc64
Byte Order: Big Endian
CPU(s): 64
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-63
Thread(s) per core: 4
Core(s) per socket: 1
Socket(s): 16
NUMA node(s): 2
Model: IBM,8231-E2C

Below is the perf testing report:
Please focus on the two key points:
- The overall overhead which is injected by the patchset
- The stability of the perf results
