[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH] [post-4.0] tmem: add page deduplication
(This is for post-4.0, but I'm posting now for feedback.)
Add "page deduplication" capability to Xen-side of tmem.
(Transparent to tmem-enabled guests.) Ephemeral pages
that have the exact same content are "combined" so that only
one page frame is needed. Since ephemeral pages are essentially
read-only, no C-O-W (and thus no equivalent of swapping) is
necessary.
Anybody know of any good fast (SSE2?) assembly memory compare
routines? (See tmh_page_cmp() in the patch.)
Points of interest:
- Modifications to LRU eviction algorithm to accommodate
dedup'ed pages
- New data structures to allow lookup of matching pages
and track references. (Algorithm used is similar to
that used by KSM in KVM/Linux: No hashing required.)
- Lock (and rbtree) chosen by first byte of data to
allow reasonably high concurrency without greatly
complicating lock management.
- Statistics added so "dedup ratio" can be monitored.
- Dedup is disabled/enabled by Xen command line option.
I'm seeing 1.08-1.52 dedup ratio for two self-ballooned guests
simultaneously/continuously building linux; that's up to a
34% reduction in physical ephemeral pages used by tmem. Clearly
this is very workload-dependent. YMMV. To obtain this savings,
approx double the time is spent in tmem (increasing from
roughly 0.1% to roughly 0.2%). This compares favorably to
compression which costs approximately 10x for an approximate
savings of 50%.
