MFC r242847 (alfred): Allow maxusers to scale on machines with large address space. MFC r243631 (andre): Base the mbuf related limits on the available physical memory or kernel memory, whichever is lower. The overall mbuf related memory limit must be set so that mbufs (and clusters of various sizes) can't exhaust physical RAM or KVM. At the same time divorce maxfiles from maxusers and set maxfiles to physpages / 8 with a floor based on maxusers. This way busy servers can make use of the significantly increased mbuf limits with a much larger number of open sockets. MFC r243639 (andre): Complete r243631 by applying the remainder of kern_mbuf.c that got lost while merging into the commit tree. MFC r243668 (andre): Using a long is the wrong type to represent the realmem and maxmbufmem variable as they may overflow on i386/PAE and i386 with > 2GB RAM. MFC r243995, r243996, r243997 (pjd): Style cleanups, Make use of the fact that uma_zone_set_max(9) already returns actual limit set. MFC r244080 (andre): Prevent long type overflow of realmem calculation on ILP32 by forcing calculation to be in quad_t space. Fix style issue with second parameter to qmin(). MFC r245469 (alfred): Do not autotune ncallout to be greater than 18508. MFC r245575 (andre): Move the mbuf memory limit calculations from init_param2() to tunable_mbinit() where it is next to where it is used later. MFC r246207 (andre): Remove unused VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS define. MFC r249843 (andre): Base the calculation of maxmbufmem in part on kmem_map size instead of kernel_map size to prevent kernel memory exhaustion by mbufs and a subsequent panic on physical page allocation failure. would it be safe to throw a couple of high end storage systems into this testing pool ?? each has 128G Memory, and dual quad core procs, with 10GB Intel interfaces all they are design to do it samba and nfs and ive been fighting performance with samba and nfs on these systems, Id be curious if autotuning might help, to be honest, theres so much to tweak for samba, nfs, zfs alone in different formats, im surprised anyone has it running efficiently.
I don't know enough about the limits of Samba setups. Testing this MFC may or may not significantly improve the performance, though at least we'll know that it doesn't hurt. -- Andre _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
