[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH V4] xen/privcmd: improve-performance-of-mapping-of-guest
One comment asked for more details on the improvements:
Using a small test program to map Guest memory into Dom0 (repeatedly
for "Iterations" mapping the same first "Num Pages")
Iterations Num Pages Time 3.7rc4 Time With this patch
5000 4096 76.107 37.027
10000 2048 75.703 37.177
20000 1024 75.893 37.247
So a little better than twice as fast.
Using this patch in migration, using "time" to measure the overall
time it take to migrate a guest (Debian Squeeze 6.0, 1024MB guest
memory, one network card, one disk, guest at login prompt):
Time 3.7rc5 Time With this patch
6.697 5.667
Since migration involves a whole lot of other things, it's only about
15% faster - but still a good improvement. Similar measurement with a
guest that is running code to "dirty" memory shows about 23%
improvement, as it spends more time copying dirtied memory.
As discussed elsewhere, a good deal more can be had from improving the
munmap system call, but it is a little tricky to get this in without
worsening non-PVOPS kernel, so I will have another look at this.
---
Update since last posting:
I have just run some benchmarks of a 16GB guest, and the improvement
with this patch is around 23-30% for the overall copy time, and 42%
shorter downtime on a "busy" guest (writing in a loop to about 8GB of
memory). I think this is definitely worth having.
The V4 patch consists of cosmetic adjustments (spelling mistake in
comment and reversing condition in an if-statement to avoid having an
"else" branch, a random empty line added by accident now reverted back
to previous state). Thanks to Jan Beulich for the comments.
The V3 of the patch contains suggested improvements from:
David Vrabel - make it two distinct external functions, doc-comments.
Ian Campbell - use one common function for the main work.
Jan Beulich - found a bug and pointed out some whitespace problems.
