[Bug 212681] I/O is slow for FreeBSD DOMu on XenServer

2017-02-13 Thread bugzilla-noreply
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212681

--- Comment #57 from rai...@ultra-secure.de ---
Well, I did do dd test, but they only write on a filesystem.

It was (back then) most likely on ZFS, with compression etc. that changed the
results.
Esp. if I just write zeros from /dev/null.

That's why I switched to dc3dd because it does the same thing on Linux and on
FreeBSD and completely eliminates the filesystem (and caching) layer as well as
any other kinds of write-optimization.


I've now created an empty UFS filesystem on my 50G volume and run unixbench on
it.

Yes, you won't see those tunables in sysctl.

Then again I'm quite lost, because you did test a plain dd, and that was
actually working fine (and yielding results in line with Linux). Can you try a
more complete benchmark, like unixbench (available in ports) without any
tunables and report it's results?

So performance is slightly better with this patch? (IIRC you where getting

I switched back the OS-type to FreeBSD 10 64bit.
I also booted back into a stock kernel and then the XENTIMER-LAPIC change went
through without a freeze.


I recompiled (a clean source-tree) with your patch and now I get about 26MB/s.

(In reply to rainer from comment #44)
This panic trace is very disturbing, I'm a little bit confused. Which kind of
guest are you running?

The trace shows xen_start -> hammer_time_xen and this path should _never_ be
used by a HVM guest, this is only used by PVH guests. Can you install addr2line
from ports (it's in binutils) and run the following inside of the VM:

# /usr/local/bin/addr2line -e /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/kernel.debug
0x81109cbb

Is also any change that you could get the full boot output from the VM by
connecting to it's serial console (and setting up the console inside of the
guest). See https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html

Thanks.

Hm, that's certainly not good, switching to the LAPIC timer shouldn't cause the
VM to freeze, I've tried it and it works just fine. Do you see anything in the
console when the VM freezes?

Can you try to change the event timer and the time counter to a different one
than the Xen one:

# sysctl -w kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-fast
# sysctl -w kern.eventtimer.timer=LAPIC

And finally I'm also attaching a patch that actually disables all the fancy PV
stuff completely, could you also patch your kernel with it (if the above things
don't make a difference) and see if that makes a difference?

Thanks, Roger.

--- Comment #39 from Roger Pau Monné  ---
(In reply to rainer from comment #36)
There's clearly something wrong there, you are not receiving as many interrupts
as you should be, this is what I usually see when running dc3dd:

irq808: xen_et0:c0 17545 93
irq809: xen_et0:c1 73460391
irq810: xen_et0:c2 65527349
irq811: xen_et0:c3 73980394
irq814: xbd1  314436   1674

(note that xbd1 is the disk against which the dc3dd is run)

In your case this is:

irq768: xen_et0:c0   4061306 20
irq769: xen_et0:c1   1951430 10
irq773: xbd0 1652038  8
irq774: xbd1  29  0
irq775: xbd2  159503  1

Note the difference in the rate of interrupts (from 1674 in my case).

Can you also post the results of running `sysctl -a | grep xbd` inside the
FreeBSD guest?

Thanks!

Well, for some it works, for some it doesn't.

The 10% I also see when writing to a RAM-disk.

I'd just like to know how I can determine where all the performance is lost.

Hi,

I compiled a new kernel with this.
Where would the messages show up?

Anything special I need to add to GENERIC?
Or a flag at booting?

Sorry to sound so dumb. I stopped paying attention to building FreeBSD once
binary patches became available...

Thanks!

This shows that the guest is mostly inactive (low CPU load), is this correct?

I'm attaching a patch to add some debug to blkfront, please be aware that
things might get noisy. Can you post the dmesg after running your workload with
this patch?

Thanks, Roger.

Do you have an idea what has to be done on XenServer to enable PMU?

In any case, I cannot do any configuration on Dom0. My coworker would have to
do that tomorrow (CET)

IIRC this was working fine last time I've tried. Have you loaded the pmc module
(kldload pmc), and which CPU are you using? Note that you also need to enable
the PMU support in Xen [0] by passing vpmu=1 on the Xen command line.

PMC.HASWELL(3) lists RESOURCE_STALLS.ANY as a valid event. If that doesn't work
(or is too complicated to setup) I would try with dtrace, and let's see what we
get.

Hello,

I don't have much time to look into this right now, could you try to create a
flamegraph [0] of this workload, this way we might be able to identify the
bottleneck(s). If possible you should create the flamegraph with pmcstat
instead of dtrace, the result is going to be much more accurate (specially when
running inside of a VM).

Interestingly enough, even when the backend storage is an SSD-backed ScaleIO

Linux is faster on SSDs.

Hi,

thanks - but it does not make a notable difference.
Neither for the dc3dd -wipe test, nor for my real-world testcase.

I can create a tenant on CloudStack, so you can try it yourself - if you want.
But I have no problem running tests, commands etc. for you, either - I can
devote (almost) as much time on this as it takes.

The fact that you get "ada" or "xbd" devices depend on what you put in the
guest configuration file. If the disk is attached as a "xvd" it will show up as
"xbd" in FreeBSD, and if it's attached as "hd" it will show up as "ada". As
long as you see something like:

xbd0: 51200MB  at device/vbd/832 on xenbusb_front0
xbd0: attaching as adaX

In dmesg it means it's using the PV disks.

I will try to look into this, but it's not going to be now (I hope I will be
able to get to it by the end of the month).

I noticed that the local values are very unstable.
Also, I don't really have access to the Xen side (yet).

I will look into how I can debug this further. I'm merely a consumer of it at
this point.

CloudStack does not support Xen-Server 7, unfortunately. And it looks like it's
going to be a while before that happens.

At your request, I will contact you via eMail once I have more debugging
information.

--- Comment #8 from k...@pielorz.com ---
(In reply to rainer from comment #7)

Our config here is very similar - HP Proliant DL380 Gen -9- though, with local
SAS disks - which we use for 'Local Storage' for XenServer, and then iSCSI off
to a Synology NAS we use for primary storage of our VM's.

>On local storage, the realworld-test is even slower.

This troubles me, as we don't see that - but we are running the test on
un-contended local storage (you don't say if you are).

The times you show for that last dd run - seem to vary quite a lot:

1342177280 bytes transferred in 22.239869 secs (60350053 bytes/sec)
1342177280 bytes transferred in 38.072567 secs (35253133 bytes/sec)
1342177280 bytes transferred in 5.782933 secs (232092820 bytes/sec)
1342177280 bytes transferred in 7.891797 secs (170072452 bytes/sec)
1342177280 bytes transferred in 12.598706 secs (106532947 bytes/sec)
1342177280 bytes transferred in 7.917661 secs (169516892 bytes/sec)
13421772800 bytes transferred in 147.423047 secs (91042568 bytes/sec)

Especially that last one. How busy is the node? / local disks?

At this stage I'd be tempted to re-run the tests while on FreeBSD looking at
the output of something like:

  iostat -x 1

(which will show what FreeBSD thinks the disk service time, % busy etc. are) -
and on Dom0 providing the local storage running:

  iostat -x 1 | egrep -e "(^Device)|(^sd*)"

Which will do the equivalent for Xen.

Things to look out for are high % busy, and service time / queue depths.

At this point I'm not sure filling the ticket with reams of debug / command
output is helping much - it might be better to close this ticket - and revert
to email to see if we can narrow things down to a possible cause, before
re-opening the ticket again with more specific information.

-Karl

The hardware is HP DL380 Gen 8 servers with 600 or 900 GB SAS disks, running
off a HW RAID controller.

On local storage, the realworld-test is even slower.

I can't run the dc3dd test here and it's apparently a bit more complicated now
to create VMs from a template on local storage now that we have completely
eliminated it from our offerings.

dc3dd is just a tool to securely wipe a disk.
I found, because it takes the filesystem out of the equation, that it's a nice
benchmarking tool.
Also, the results of dc3dd correlate directly with the results of the testcase
(in PHP) that the customer has built.

[Bug 212681] I/O is slow for FreeBSD DOMu on XenServer

2016-09-14 Thread bugzilla-noreply
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212681

--- Comment #6 from k...@pielorz.com ---
(In reply to rainer from comment #5)

Ok, so 'like for like' test see's better performance.

I'm not overly familiar with dc3dd - maybe it's using a "really small block
size" - and  on your setup, this is causing an issue (maybe look at the ssz /
bufsz options)

Do you have any 'local storage' on XenServer (or can you create some) - i.e.
something you can map to a FreeBSD VM - and repeat both the dc3dd and dd test
on - that is backed by a local SATA / SAS disk on XenServer (i.e. not going
through ScaleIO?)

This is ZFS.

So, in this particular test, it's actually faster.
But I can assure you, in practical use, it's not.

[Bug 212681] I/O is slow for FreeBSD DOMu on XenServer

Our hardware is local disks (not SSDs) networked via ScaleIO.

I've run a dd from one disk of a VM to another one and it was very, very slow.

OS: "Other (64bit)" (which is actually a little bit faster than choosing
"FreeBSD 10"

(freebsd11 ) 0 # dc3dd wipe=/dev/ada1

dc3dd 7.2.641 started at 2016-08-18 13:24:02 +0200

output results for device `/dev/ada1':

dc3dd completed at 2016-08-18 14:15:26 +0200


The question remains: why is this and what can one do?

One of our customers has an application-workload (php+mysql) that takes 3s to
process on an Ubuntu 16 VM with 2 vCPUs and 8GB RAM.
The FreeBSD VM is completely unusable for this because it's bogged down to a
halt, regardless of how many vCPUs and RAM I give it.

We use XenServer 7 overhere and we can't run FreeBSD vm's on it unfortunately.
(Tried both 11-RC1 and 10.3) (We use local storage)

Just a regular "portsnap fetch extract" takes like 10 times the time it does on
a baremetal server.

So when someone requests a FreeBSD server they get a baremetal one, all
variants of linux gets a vm.

I'm happy to provide a vm if someone is eager to troubleshoot this, I've tried
all solutions out there in the xen I/O mail threads/forum posts but none did
the trick.

Hi,

We run XenServer 6.5 and 7 here - with a range of FreeBSD versions (mostly 10.x
now). We've not noticed any really low I/O performance.

How are you running dc3dd? - So I can try and install / replicate this here.

We have seen that I/O behaves differently under XenServer than it does on bare
metal (which is obvious - i.e. local SATA SSD vs. Multipath iSCSI [or similar])
you will see differences (even just with 'mapped through XenServer' "Local
Storage").

It could be dc3dd / the stuff you're running is a particularly 'bad case' for
the I/O. e.g. In an equally 'synthetic' test - a regular "dd if=/dev/zero
of=test.dat bs=64k count=10240" on our our test pool here (which has two paths
iSCSI over Gigabit) we get around 220Mbyte/sec to a FreeBSD DomU.

That may well be a best case - and you may well have hit some worst cases.

-Karl
