From: Vitaly Wool <[email protected]>
The current zswap implementation uses red-black trees to store
entries and to perform lookups. Although this algorithm obviously
has complexity of O(log N) it still takes a while to complete
lookup (or, even more for replacement) of an entry, when the amount
of entries is huge (100K+).
B-trees are known to handle such cases more efficiently (i. e. also
with O(log N) complexity but with way lower coefficient) so trying
zswap with B-trees was worth a shot.
The implementation of B-trees that is currently present in Linux
kernel isn't really doing things in the best possible way (i. e. it
has recursion) but the testing I've run still shows a very
significant performance increase.
The usage pattern of B-tree here is not exactly following the
guidelines but it is due to the fact that pgoff_t may be both 32
and 64 bits long.
Tested on qemu-kvm (-smp 2 -m 1024) with zswap in the following
configuration:
* zpool: z3fold
* max_pool_percent: 100
and the swap size of 1G.
Test command:
$ stress-ng --io 4 --vm 4 --vm-bytes 1000M --timeout 300s --metrics
This, averaged over 20 runs on qemu-kvm (-smp 2 -m 1024) gives the
following io bogo ops:
* original: 73778.8
* btree: 393999

Impressive results. Was your test done with a 32bit guest? If yes, I
would assume results for a 64bit guess to drop to about 330k.

You could abuse the fact that pgoff_t is the same size as unsigned long
and use the "l" suffix variant. But apart from the obvious abuse, the
"l" variant hasn't been used before and the implementation appears to be
buggy.
So no complaints about your use of the interface.

No, it's on a 64 bit virtual machine. I take this improvement is partially
due to zswap_insert_or_replace function which requires less lookups
than the initial implementation, but it's the btree API that made it possible.

Thanks! I would then keep it as is and have a task for myself to try out and
possibly debug the "l" suffix variant later on.
