  • How does linux kernel collect task stats data
    Posted on Tuesday February 14, 2017
    Motivation Recently, I find it is hard to know the percentage of time that one process uses to wait for synchronous I/O (eg, read, etc). One way is to use the taskstats API provided by Linux Kernel [1]. However, for this way, the precision may be one problem. With this problem, I dig into Linux Kernel source codes to see how “blkio_delay_total” (Delay time waiting for synchronous block I/O to complete) is calculated. » Read more Continue Reading »

  • x-data-plane feature in QEMU/KVM
    Posted on Saturday December 17, 2016
    Abstract In systems, sometimes, we use one global lock to keep synchronization among different threads. This principle also happens in QEMU/KVM (http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page) system. However, this may cause lock contention problem. The performance/scalability of whole system will be decreased. In order to solve this problem in QEMU/KVM, x-data-plane feature is designed/implemented, which the high-level idea is “I/O requests are handled by dedicated IOThread rather than QEMU main loop threads so that it will not have lock contention among I/O threads and other QEMU main loop threads”. » Read more Continue Reading »

  • Answered: WPS' wpp program reports "libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file" on CentOS 7

  • Answered: Is Samba sync or async for writes?
    Posted on Sunday June 25, 2017
    In summary, Samba writes are async by default. But the behavior is configurable. Here is a great summary by Eric Roseme. Samba defaults to asynchronous writes. smbd writes to memory buffer, then returns to processing. Buffer is flushed to disk later. This is the most efficient behavior. Windows CreateFile API has the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag, which requests synchronous writes. smbd writes to memory buffer, blocks until buffer contents are written to disk, which results in poor performance, but better data integrity. When "strict sync = yes" (default = no) Samba honors the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag, and results in Continue Reading »
