That isn't very surprising. If you don't have O_DIRECT enabled, then all that disk I/O from the migrate is going to be in RAM, and thus the fdatasync() is likely to trigger writing out alot of data. Blocking the main QEMU thread though is pretty unhelpful. That suggests the data sync needs to be moved to a non-main thread. With O_DIRECT meanwhile there should be essentially no hit from fdatasync. > > [<0>] rq_qos_wait+0xbb/0x130 > [<0>] wbt_wait+0x9c/0x100 > [<0>] __rq_qos_throttle+0x23/0x40 > [<0>] blk_mq_submit_bio+0x183/0x580 > [<0>] __submit_bio_noacct+0x7e/0x1e0 > [<0>] iomap_submit_ioend+0x4e/0x80 > [<0>] iomap_writepage_map+0x22a/0x400 > [<0>] write_cache_pages+0x17c/0x4c0 > [<0>] iomap_writepages+0x1c/0x40 > [<0>] xfs_vm_writepages+0x7a/0xb0 [xfs] > [<0>] do_writepages+0xcf/0x1d0 > [<0>] filemap_fdatawrite_wbc+0x66/0x90 > [<0>] __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0x54/0x80 > [<0>] file_write_and_wait_range+0x48/0xb0 > [<0>] xfs_file_fsync+0x5a/0x240 [xfs] > [<0>] __x64_sys_fdatasync+0x46/0x80 > [<0>] do_syscall_64+0x5c/0x90 > [<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc > > Do you also have it, or it's just my host kernel / other config that is > different? > > -- > Peter Xu > With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
