When benchmarking buffered I/O file write workloads with file systems,
the options fsync, fsync_on_close and end_fsync allow getting
performance statistics accounting for all file data safely written to
the file system device media. All these options can be used in
different scenarios to emulate applications use of the fsync() system
call.
However, these different options all involve using the fsync() system
call against every written files, with the files being open.
Depending on the file system, this characteristic is very limiting. E.g.
the XFS file system optimizes data placement of closed files to store
these files tightly in the same block group in order to generate a
write command pattern that is very sequential and localized. The use
of fio existing sync option variants thus does not allow measuring the
performance benefits of this optimization. Furthermore, the option
end_fsync applies to all files of a job, causing a loop to open, fsync()
and close each written file. For benchmarks with a very large number of
files (e.g. a long run), this is very ineficient and slow, and often
causes the performance results to be much lower than expected.
Extending the sync operation variants to include the ability to use the
syncfs() system call can solve these issues. Allow this by introducing
the new end_syncfs option.
If enabled, the end_syncfs option results in a call to the syncfs()
system call when a job completes. This allows syncing all written files
with a single system call and also avoids the need to reopen all written
files. This is thus much faster than using end_fsync, and also enables
file system writeback optimizations that rely on the files being written
back to be closed.
The syncfs() system call is supported by Linux only. This support is
detected in the configure script and if detected, the CONFIG_SYNCFS
configuration option defined. When not supported, the helpers.c file
defines the syncfs() function to return an error. The option end_syncfs
is allowed only when CONFIG_SYNCFS is defined.
Like other sync variants, end_syncfs causes issuing an io_u when a job
completes so that the time taken to write back all written files is
accounted for in the final performance statistics. The io_u data
direction DDIR_SYNCFS is defined to control this. A DDIR_SYNCFS io_u is
issued using the same function fio_io_sync() as for other sync variants.
Calls to fio_io_sync() are driven with the new function fio_syncfs(),
which iterates a list of struct fio_mount representing the mounted file
systems for the files of a job thread. This list is built using the
helper function add_file_fs(), called from setup_files(), and using the
new fs_list struct flist_head defined for each thread. This list is
freed on completion of a thread with a call to free_fs_list() from
free_release_files().
struct fio_mount definition is moved to file.h to allow iterating a
thread fs_list entries in backend.c. This structure is also augmented
with a pointer to a struct fio_file and to an open directory stream (dir
field). These new entries are used to avoid opening one of the file of a
thread for a file system entry and instead used to allocate and
initialize a struct fio_file representing the parent directory of a file
of the file system entry. This is managed with the helper functions
fio_open_fs() and fio_close_fs() which are used before and after calling
fio_io_sync() in fio_syncfs().
Finally, since support for executing the syncfs() system call depends on
the IO engine used, the engine flags FIO_SYNCFS and
FIO_ASYNCIO_SYNC_SYNCFS are defined to allow indicating if an IO engine
supports DDIR_SYNCFS operations.
