RE: My ZFS v28 Testing Experience
Unfortunately, this didn't make a difference. There is no signifigant change in the benchmarks with the new compile. I do have a lot of CPU power at hand, so it doesn't look to be bound there at all. Possibly, that's one of the issues. I'm running 2 new Xeon X5660's so there's 6x2 (12) physical, 12x2 (24) virtual cores present to FreeBSD. How well is scheduling being handled on this processor architecture? At this stage, I can't say with any confidence that it _is_ ZFS at fault here, because I'm involving NFS and the ix driver substantially. I just know that NFS to a ZFS share on Solaris 11 Express is wildly faster than FreeBSD 9.0, regardless of tweaks. Now, there may be some extra debug within the NFS code that is the issue here, I'm not sure at this stage. I could also play with iSCSI instead, or the raw ZFS filesystem instead, but my needs involve NFS+ZFS, so that's my main test environment. I'm not using the new NFSv4 code. Let me know if there is something you'd like to test or know more about on my setup - I'll be running FreeBSD for about a week on this box (finishing up some last bits of work that I need it for), then I'm back to Solaris 11 Express for the next few months. I may end up having to build a separate box so I'm more easily able to test this configuration. I'd like to say with more confidence where the speed is going, because I feel FreeBSD deserves to be top-notch, and right now I'm only raising issues that aren't exact enough to work on. -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-curr...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-curr...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Chris Forgeron Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 3:09 PM To: Pawel Jakub Dawidek Cc: freebsd...@freebsd.org; freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: RE: My ZFS v28 Testing Experience Before we go any further could you please confirm that you commented out this line in sys/modules/zfs/Makefile: CFLAGS+=-DDEBUG=1 This turns all kind of ZFS debugging and slows it down a lot, but for the correctness testing is invaluable.

This is ESXi 4.1.0.
Locally we've been building the amd64 kernel with a few different

Try this definition of do_cpuid instead:

/*

./machine/cpufunc.h:111: error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints
This presumably has to do with -fPIC. See
http://sam.zoy.org/blog/2007-04-13-shlib-with-non-pic-code-have-inline-assembly-and-pic-mix-well
for this workaround.
*/
__asm __volatile(cpuid

#else
__asm __volatile(push %%ebx \n\t /* save %ebx */
cpuid\n\t
movl %%ebx, %1 \n\t /* save what cpuid just put in

: =a (p[0]), =m (p[1]), =c (p[2]), =d (p[3])
: a(ax)
: cc);
#endif
}
Note that using =r for the constraint on p[1] isn't sufficient as once
in a while the compiler has chosen %ebx, which then leads to garbage
in the register after the pop.
