Subject: [PATCH] fix(dracut-functions): implement a cache for get_maj_min
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
On systems with a large number of devices, usually multipath devices,
dracut can spend a lot of time stat'ing the devices to collect the
major/minor numbers, leading to huge slowness rebuilding the initramfs
when stat'ing devices is slow (seen with oracleasm file systems in
particular).
This commit implements a basic cache stored in a file under
DRACUT_TMPDIR storing the major:minor corresponding to the specified
device.
Reproducer: create N loopback devices used as a LVM extension to volume
group hosting the root file system
# LVMVG="rhel"
# NDEVICES=200
# mkdir devices; for i in $(seq 1 $NDEVICES); do
truncate -s 10m devices/$i; losetup loop$i devices/$i
done
# vgextend $LVMVG $(/bin/ls -1 /dev/loop[0-9]*)
With standard code (tested with RHEL8.3 dracut):
# dracut -f --debug /tmp/initramfs.img $(uname -r) >/tmp/debug 2>&1
# grep -c "stat -L -c" /tmp/debug

With this code:
# dracut -f --debug /tmp/initramfs.img $(uname -r) >/tmp/debug_optim 2>&1
# grep -c "stat -L -c" /tmp/debug_optim
