[Bug 1840043] Re: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats
@pponnuvel stat(2) doesn't perform a read(2) on the file, so it won't call the show() method for priority_stats (which was the problematic call for this specific sysfs attribute). In any case, this should be fixed in all supported Ubuntu series, so even read(2) shouldn't be an issue anymore. Please let us know if you see any performance regressions related to this change! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840043 Title: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1840043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1840043] Re: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats
A question: Does stat(2) calls (lstat, fstat and the like) on priority_stats cause the same issue?

[Bug 1840043] Re: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats
** Description changed:
[Impact]
- Performance degradation for read/write workloads in bcache devices,
occasional system stalls
+ Querying bcache's priority_stats attribute in sysfs causes severe performance
degradation for read/write workloads and occasional system stalls
+
+ [Test Case]
+ Note: As the sorting step has the most noticeable performance impact, the
test case below pins a workload and the sysfs query to the same CPU. CPU
contention issues still occur without any pinning, this just removes the
scheduling factor of landing in different CPUs and affecting different tasks.
+
+ 1) Start a read/write workload on the bcache device with e.g. fio or dd,
pinned to a certain CPU:
+ # taskset 0x10 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/bcache0 bs=4k status=progress
+
+ 2) Start a sysfs query loop for the priority_stats attribute pinned to the
same CPU:
+ # for i in {1..10}; do taskset 0x10 cat
/sys/fs/bcache/*/cache0/priority_stats > /dev/null; done
+
+ 3) Monitor the read/write workload for any performance impact
+
+ [Fix]
+ To fix CPU contention and performance impact, a cond_resched() call is
introduced in the priority_stats sort comparison.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Regression potential is low, as the change is confined to the priority_stats
sysfs query. In cases where frequent queries to bcache priority_stats take
place (e.g. node_exporter), the impact should be more noticeable as those could
now take a bit longer to complete. A regression due to this patch would most
likely show up as a performance degradation in bcache-focused workloads.
+
+ --
[Description]
In the latest bcache drivers, there's a sysfs attribute that calculates
bucket priority statistics in /sys/fs/bcache/*/cache0/priority_stats. Querying
this file has a big performance impact on tasks that run in the same CPU, and
also affects read/write performance of the bcache device itself.
This is due to the way the driver calculates the stats: the bcache
buckets are locked and iterated through, collecting information about
each individual bucket. An array of nbucket elements is constructed and
sorted afterwards, which can cause very high CPU contention in cases of
larger bcache setups.
From our tests, the sorting step of the priority_stats query causes the
most expressive performance reduction, as it can hinder tasks that are
not even doing any bcache IO. If a task is "unlucky" to be scheduled in
the same CPU as the sysfs query, its performance will be harshly reduced
as both compete for CPU time. We've had users report systems stalls of
up to ~6s due to this, as a result from monitoring tools that query the
priority_stats periodically (e.g. Prometheus Node Exporter from [0]).
These system stalls have triggered several other issues such as ceph-mon
re-elections, problems in percona-cluster and general network stalls, so
the impact is not isolated to bcache IO workloads.
+ An example benchmark can be seen in [1], where the read performance on a
+ bcache device suffered quite heavily (going from ~40k IOPS to ~4k IOPS
+ due to priority_stats). Other comparison charts are found under [2].

[Bug 1840043] Re: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats
>From the comparison graphs, we can see that the impact of the sysfs query is very significant for both read and write workloads. Taking just the "sysfs" test from my previous comment into account: In the random write tests: * For 512b block sizes, we see about an 85% reduction in BW (down to ~2MB/s from ~16MB/s) * For 4k block sizes, the reduction in BW is also about 85% (~30MB/s compared to ~240MB/s) * For 512k block sizes (== bucket size) and higher, BW is reduced by about 64% (~90MB/s vs ~250MB/s) In the random read tests: * For 512b block sizes, BW goes down to ~3MB/s from ~25MB/s * For 4k block sizes, the BW reduction is around ~90% (~10MB/s compared to ~160MB/s) * For 512k block sizes and higher, BW is reduced by about 90% (150MB/s vs 1.6GB/s) We can see similar results as the above for the IOPS measures, and the latency measures are also much worse in the sysfs test. We observe frequent latency spikes (150ms+) when running fio together with the priority_stats query, and latency averages increase by about 50ms at least. Surprisingly, the "mutex" patch didn't improve the test results much. This was the case for both read and write workloads, which suggests that the bucket locking doesn't have that much impact on the system compared to the sorting. The cond_resched() patch showed great results, even though it causes the sysfs queries to take a bit longer. The write throughput of the bcache device is _much_ better with it, and the system doesn't stall anymore (even when pinning processes to the same CPU as the sysfs query). In some cases, it brings performance back to values close to the "raw" tests (i.e. without any sysfs queries). This patch seems like the best short-term solution for now, as the sysfs query taking a bit longer shouldn't really be a problem in most setups (whereas the IO performance and other issues are much more noticeable). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840043 Title: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1840043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1840043] Re: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats
This has been reported upstream as well, with a tentative patch in https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/7/8 I've done some tests in fio to get some more data on this issue, with the following scenarios: - "raw" test -> fio test without any sysfs queries - "sysfs" test -> fio + scripted sysfs queries - "mutex" test -> fio + sysfs + mutex patch - "resched" test -> fio + sysfs + cond_resched() patch The "mutex patch" removed bucket locking from the sysfs query. This caused the stats to be computed all wrong of course, but we weren't interested in the stats themselves for now (just on the performance impact of the bucket locking). The "cond_resched()" patch was suggested upstream by Shile Zhang, and introduces a cond_resched() call in the comparison function used for sorting. Tests were run on a NVMe-backed bcache device with writeback enabled. The full logs and graphs are available in the bcache-results.tar.gz attachment. ** Attachment added: "bcache-results.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1840043/+attachment/5282348/+files/bcache-results.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840043 Title: bcache: Performance degradation when querying priority_stats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1840043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
