Hello,
while expecting slow btrfs volumes i switched to kernel v4.13 and to
space_cache=v2.
But i'm still expecting slow performance and single kworker processes
using 100% CPU.
Tracing the kworker process shows me:
# sed 's/.*: //' /trace | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
21595 tree_search_offset.isra.23 <-btrfs_find_space_for_alloc
21610 btrfs_find_space_for_alloc <-find_free_extent
21619 _raw_spin_lock <-btrfs_find_space_for_alloc
27431 _cond_resched <-find_free_extent
27437 down_read <-find_free_extent
27451 block_group_cache_done.isra.29 <-find_free_extent
27451 btrfs_put_block_group <-find_free_extent
27464 up_read <-find_free_extent
27486 __get_raid_index <-find_free_extent
27503 _raw_spin_lock <-find_free_extent
48335 search_bitmap <-btrfs_find_space_for_alloc
Is there anything to optimize? Can i speed up this?
There's still plenty of unallocated space:
# btrfs fi usage /vmbackup/
Overall:
Device size: 58.20TiB
Device allocated: 22.66TiB
Device unallocated: 35.54TiB

Is btrfs trying to hard to find free space?
Greets,
Stefan
