Subject: [PATCH] readahead: Rewrite this filter so it prefetches using .cache
The previous readahead filter did not work well and we have stopped
using it in virt-v2v. However the concept is a good one if we can
make it work. This commit completely rethinks the filter.
Now, in parallel with the ordinary pread command, we issue a prefetch
(ie. .cache) to the underlying plugin for the data immediately
following the pread. For example a simple sequence of operations:
t=1 pread (offset=0, count=65536)
t=2 pread (offset=65536, count=65536)
t=3 pread (offset=131072, count=65536)
would become:
t=1 pread (offset=0, count=65536) <--\ issued
cache (offset=65536, count=65536) <--/ in parallel
t=2 pread (offset=65536, count=65536)
cache (offset=131072, count=65536)
t=3 pread (offset=131072, count=65536)
cache (offset=196608, count=65536)
This requires that the underlying filter(s) and plugin chain can
actually do something with the .cache request. If this is not the
case then the filter does nothing (but it will print a warning). For
plugins which don't have native support for prefetching, it is
sufficient to insert nbdkit-cache-filter after this filter.
(nbdkit-cow-filter can also be used with cow-on-cache=true, but that
is more useful for advanced users who are already using the cow
filter).
The implementation creates a background thread per connection to issue
the parallel .cache requests. This is safer than the alternative (one
background thread in total) since we don't have to deal with the
problem of cache requests being issued with the wrong export name or
stale next pointer. The background thread is controlled by a queue of
commands, with the only possible commands being "cache" or "quit".
Because the background thread issues parallel requests on the same
connection, the underlying plugin must support the parallel thread
model, otherwise we would be violating the plugin's thread model. It
may be possible in future to open a new connection from the background
thread (but with the same exportname), which would lift this
restriction to at least serialize_requests. Because of the current
limitation, nbdkit-curl-plugin cannot use prefetch.

+
+ nbdkit --filter=readahead --filter=cow PLUGIN cow-on-cache=true
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<nbdkit-readahead-filter> is a filter that prefetches data when the
-client is reading sequentially.
+client is reading.
-A common use for this filter is to accelerate sequential copy
-operations (like S<C<qemu-img convert>>) when plugin requests have a
-high overhead (like L<nbdkit-curl-plugin(1)>). For example:
-
- nbdkit -U - --filter=readahead curl https://example.com/disk.img \
- --run 'qemu-img convert $nbd disk.img'
+When the client issues a read, this filter issues a parallel prefetch
+(C<.cache>) for subsequent data. Plugins which support this command
+will prefetch the data, making sequential reads faster. For plugins
+which do not support this command, you can inject
+L<nbdkit-cache-filter(1)> below (after) this filter, giving
+approximately the same effect. L<nbdkit-cow-filter(1)> can be used
+instead of nbdkit-cache-filter, if you add the C<cow-on-cache=true>
+option.
The filter uses a simple adaptive algorithm which accelerates
-sequential reads, but has a small penalty if the client does random
-reads. If the client mixes reads with writes or write-like operations
-(trimming, zeroing) then it will work but there can be a large
-performance penalty.
+sequential reads and requires no further configuration.
+
+=head2 Limitations
+
+In a number of significant cases this filter will do nothing. The
+filter will print a warning message if this happens.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Thread model must be parallel
+
+For example L<nbdkit-curl-plugin(1)> only supports
+C<serialize_requests>, and so this filter cannot perform prefetches in
+parallel with the read requests.
+
+We may be able to lift this restriction in future.
+
+=item Underlying filters or plugin must support C<.cache> (prefetch)
+
+Very many plugins do not have the concept of prefetching and/or
+do not implement the C<.cache> callback, and so there is no
+way for this filter to issue prefetches.
+
+You can usually get around this by adding I<--filter=cache> after this
+filter as explained above. It may be necessary to limit the total
+size of the cache (see L<nbdkit-cache-filter(1)/CACHE MAXIMUM SIZE>).
+
+=item Clients and kernels may do readahead already
+
+It may be the case that NBD clients are already issuing
+C<NBD_CMD_CACHE> (NBD prefetch) commands. It may also be the case
+that your plugin is using local file functions where the kernel is
+doing readahead. In such cases this filter is not necessary and may
+be pessimal.

Subject: [PATCH] readahead: Fix test
The previous test turned out to be pretty bad at testing the new
filter. A specific problem is that the filter starts a background
thread which issues .cache requests, while on the main connection
.pread requests are being passed through. The test used
--filter=readahead --filter=cache with the cache filter only caching
on .cache requests (since cache-on-read defaults to false), so only
caching requests made by the background thread.
main thread
client ---- .pread ----- delay-filter -------> plugin
\
\ background thread
.cache --- cache-filter
Under very high load, the background thread could be starved. This
means no requests were being cached at all, and all requests were
passing through the delay filter. It would appear that readahead was
failing (which it was, in a way).
It's not very easy to fix this since readahead is best-effort, but we
can go back to using a simpler plugin that logs reads and caches and
check that they look valid.
Update: commit 2ff548d66ad3eae87868402ec5b3319edd12090f
(cherry picked from commit db1e3311727c6ecab3264a1811d33db1aa45a4d0)
