Adopt the map ordering to match the other architectures and the generic code. Also make the maximum entries limited and not dependend on the number of CPUs. With the original implementation did the following calculation: nr_slots = mapsize >> PAGE_SHIFT; The results in either 512 or 1024 total slots depending on configuration. The total slots have to be divided by the number of CPUs to

I?m trying to understand the inner workings of the adaptive replacement cache (arc). I see there are arc_bufs and arc_buf_hdrs. Each arc_buf_hdr points to an arc_buf_t. The arc_buf_t is really one entry in a list of arc_buf_t entries. The multiple entries are accessed through the arc_buf_t?s b_next member. Why does the arc_buf_hdr point to a list of arc_buf_ts and not just one arc_buf_t, i.e.,

I have a semi-theoretical question about the following code in arc.c, arc_reclaim_needed() function: /* * take ''desfree'' extra pages, so we reclaim sooner, rather than later */ extra = desfree; /* * check that we''re out of range of the pageout scanner. It starts to * schedule paging if freemem is less than lotsfree and needfree. * lotsfree is the high-water mark

Greetings Gentlemen, I''m currently testing a new setup for a ZFS based storage system with dedup enabled. The system is setup on OI 148, which seems quite stable w/ dedup enabled (compared to the OpenSolaris snv_136 build I used before). One issue I ran into, however, is quite baffling: With iozone set to 32 threads, ZFS''s ARC seems to consume all available memory, making

I would appreciate if somebody can clarify a few points. I am doing some random WRITES (100% writes, 100% random) testing and observe that ARC grows way beyond the "hard" limit during the test. The hard limit is set 512 MB via /etc/system and I see the size going up to 1 GB - how come is it happening? mdb''s ::memstat reports 1.5 GB used - does this include ARC as well or is

Greeting All Can any one help me figure out the size of the ARC tail, i.e, the portion in ARC that l2_feed thread is reading from before pages are evicted from ARC. Is the size of this tail proportional to total ARC size ? L2ARC device size ? is tunable ?????? your feed back is highly appreciated -- Abdullah Al-Dahlawi PhD Candidate George Washington University Department. Of

Was wondering if anyone of you see any issues with the following in Solaris 10 u8 ZFS?

Hi, My current code is tripping the following assertion: lib/libzpool/build-kernel/arc.c:736: arc_change_state: Assertion `new_state->size + to_delta >= new_state->lsize (0x2a60000 >= 0x2a64000)` failed. gdb info: Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted. #0 0x00002afcd767847b in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x00002afcd767847b in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1

Pre-fletching on the file and device level has been disabled yielding good results so far. We''ve lowered the number of concurrent ios from 35 to 1 causing the service times to go even lower (1 -> 8ms) but inflating actv (.4 -> 2ms). I''ve followed your recommendation in setting primarycache to metadata. I''ll have to check with our tester in the morning if it made

Has the ARC cache in Solaris 10 u8 been improved? Have been reading some mixed messages. Also should this parameter be tuned?

Hi. Is there a waf to safely flush ARC cache (get most of ZFS memory back to system)? ps. not by export/import This message posted from opensolaris.org

I''m running into a issue where there seems to be a high number of read iops hitting disks and physical free memory is fluctuating between 200MB -> 450MB out of 16GB total. We have the l2arc configured on a 32GB Intel X25-E ssd and slog on another32GB X25-E ssd. According to our tester, Oracle writes are extremely slow (high latency). Below is a snippet of iostat: r/s w/s

I have a test Solaris machine with 8 GB of memory. When freshly booted, the ARC consumes 5 GB (and I would be happy to make it consume more) and file-level prefetching works great even when I hit the machine with a lot of simultaneous sequential reads. But overnight, the ARC has shrunk to 2 GB (as reported by arcstat.pl) and file-level prefetching is (as expected at that level) absolutely

We have a 1:1 relationship between connectors and encoders and the driver is relying on the atomic helpers: we can drop the custom ->best_encoder(), and let the core call drm_atomic_helper_best_encoder() for us.

We have an IMAP server that uses ZFS filesystems for all of its mailbox and database files. As the number of users increases, with a consequent increase in the number of processes, the ARC size decreases from 10 gigabytes down to 2 gigabytes. I know that it''s supposed to do that, but in this case ZFS is starved for memory and the whole thing slows to a crawl. Is there a way to set a

Hi, I was wondering about the ARC and its interaction with the VM pagecache... When a file on a ZFS filesystem is mmaped, does the ARC cache get mapped to the process'' virtual memory? Or is there another copy? -Manoj

Hi Folks.. We have started to convert our Veritas clustered systems over to ZFS root to take advantage of the extreme simplification of using Live Upgrade. Moving the data of these systems off VxVM and VxFS is not in scope for reasons to numerous to go into.. One thing my customers noticed immediately was a reduction in "free" memory as reported by ''top''. By way

Hello all, I have a question. Below are two ::memstat outputs about 5 days apart. The interesting thing is the "anonymous" memory shows 2GB, though the two major hogs of that memory (two MySQL instances) claim to be consuming about 6.2GB (checked via pmap). Also, it seems like the ARC keeps creeping the kernel memory over the 4GB limit I set for the ARC (zfs_arc_max). What I was also,
