This stack of patches has been empirically shown to drastically improve
the hit rate of the ARC for certain workloads. As a result, fewer reads
to disk are required, which is generally a good thing and can
drastically improve performance if the workload is disk limited.
For the impatient, I'll summarize the results of the tests performed:
* Test 1 - Creating many empty directories. This test saw 99.9%
fewer reads and 12.8% more inodes created when running
*with* these changes.
* Test 2 - Creating many empty files. This test saw 4% fewer reads
and 0% more inodes created when running *with* these
changes.
* Test 3 - Creating many 4 KiB files. This test saw 96.7% fewer
reads and 4.9% more inodes created when running *with*
these changes.
* Test 4 - Creating many 4096 KiB files. This test saw 99.4% fewer
reads and 0% more inodes created (but took 6.9% fewer
seconds to complete) when running *with* these changes.
* Test 5 - Rsync'ing a dataset with many empty directories. This
test saw 36.2% fewer reads and 66.2% more inodes created
when running *with* these changes.
* Test 6 - Rsync'ing a dataset with many empty files. This test saw
30.9% fewer reads and 0% more inodes created (but took
24.3% fewer seconds to complete) when running *with*
these changes.
* Test 7 - Rsync'ing a dataset with many 4 KiB files. This test saw
30.8% fewer reads and 173.3% more inodes created when
running *with* these changes.
For the patient, the following consists of more a more detailed
description of the tests performed and the results gathered.
All the tests were run using identical machines, each with a pool
consisting of 5 mirror pairs with 2TB 7200 RPM disks. Each test was run
twice, once *without* this set of patches and again *with* this set of
patches to highlight the performance changes introduced. The first four
workloads tested were:
** NOTE: None of these tests were run to completion. They ran for a
set amount of time and then were terminated or hit ENOSPC.
1. Creating many empty directories:
* fdtree -d 10 -l 8 -s 0 -f 0 -C
-> 111,111,111 Directories
-> 0 Files
-> 0 KiB File Data
2. Creating many empty files:
* fdtree -d 10 -l 5 -s 0 -f 10000 -C
-> 111,111 Directories
-> 1,111,110,000 Files
-> 0 KiB File Data
3. Creating many 4 KiB files:
* fdtree -d 10 -l 5 -s 1 -f 10000 -C
-> 111,111 Directories
-> 1,111,110,000 Files
-> 4,444,440,000 KiB File Data
4. Creating many 4096 KiB files:
* fdtree -d 10 -l 5 -s 1024 -f 10000 -C
-> 111,111 Directories
-> 1,111,110,000 Files
-> 4,551,106,560,000 KiB File Data
Results for these first four tests are below:
| Time (s) | inodes | reads | writes |
--+----------+----------+--------+-----------+
Test 1 Before | 65069 | 37845363 | 831975 | 3214646 |
Test 1 After | 65069 | 42703608 | 778 | 3327674 |
--+----------+----------+--------+-----------+
Test 2 Before | 65073 | 54257583 | 208647 | 2413056 |
Test 2 After | 65069 | 54255782 | 200038 | 2533759 |
--+----------+----------+--------+-----------+
Test 3 Before | 65068 | 49857744 | 487130 | 5533348 |
Test 3 After | 65071 | 52294311 | 16078 | 5648354 |
--+----------+----------+--------+-----------+
Test 4 Before | 34854 | 2448329 | 385870 | 162116572 |
Test 4 After | 32419 | 2448329 | 2339 | 162175706 |
--+----------+----------+--------+-----------+
* "Time (s)" - The run time of the test in seconds
* "inodes" - The number of inodes created by the test
* "reads" - The number of reads performed by the test
* "writes" - The number of writes performed by the test
As you can see from the table above, running with this patch stack
*significantly* reduced the number of reads performed in 3 out of the 4
tests (due to an improved ARC hit rate).
In addition to the tests described above, which specifically targeted
creates only, three other workloads were tested. These additional tests
were targeting rsync performance against the datasets created in the
previous tests. A brief description of the workloads and results for
these tests are below:
** NOTE: Aside from (6), these tests didn't run to completion. They
ran for a set amount of time and then were terminated.
5. Rsync the dataset created in Test 1 to a new dataset:
* rsync -a /tank/test-1 /tank/test-5
6. Rsync the dataset created in Test 2 to a new dataset:
* rsync -a /tank/test-2 /tank/test-6
7. Rsync the dataset created in Test 3 to a new dataset:
* rsync -a /tank/test-3 /tank/test-7
Results for Test 5, 6, and 7 are below:
| Time (s) | inodes | reads | writes |
--+----------+----------+----------+---------+
Test 5 Before | 93041 | 17921014 | 47632823 | 4094848 |
Test 5 After | 93029 | 29785847 | 30376206 | 4484459 |

* "Time (s)" - The run time of the test in seconds
