Demonstrations of btrfsdist, the Linux eBPF/bcc version. |
|
|
|
|
|
btrfsdist traces btrfs reads, writes, opens, and fsyncs, and summarizes their |
|
latency as a power-of-2 histogram. For example: |
|
|
|
# ./btrfsdist |
|

This output shows a bi-modal distribution for read latency, with a faster |
|
mode of 1,308 reads that took between 2 and 3 microseconds, and a slower |
|
mode of over 7,312 reads that took between 256 and 511 microseconds. It's |
|
likely that the faster mode was a hit from the in-memory file system cache, |
|
and the slower mode is a read from a storage device (disk). |
|
|
|
This "latency" is measured from when the operation was issued from the VFS |
|
interface to the file system, to when it completed. This spans everything: |
|
block device I/O (disk I/O), file system CPU cycles, file system locks, run |
|
queue latency, etc. This is a better measure of the latency suffered by |
|
applications reading from the file system than measuring this down at the |
|
block device interface. |
|
|
|
Note that this only traces the common file system operations previously |
|
listed: other file system operations (eg, inode operations including |
|
getattr()) are not traced. |
|
|
|
|
|
An optional interval and a count can be provided, as well as -m to show the |
|
distributions in milliseconds. For example, two second summaries, five times: |
|
|
|
# ./btrfsdist 2 5 |
|

This shows a read workload that begins bimodal, and eventually the second |
|
mode disappears. The reason for this is that the workload cached during |
|
tracing. Note that the rate also increased, with over 200k reads for the |
|
final two second sample. |
