B.9. Glock Statistics
GFS2 maintains statistics that can help track what is going on within the file system. This allows you to spot performance issues.
GFS2 maintains two counters:
dcount, which counts the number of DLM operations requested. This shows how much data has gone into the mean/variance calculations.qcount, which counts the number ofsyscalllevel operations requested. Generallyqcountwill be equal to or greater thandcount.
In addition, GFS2 maintains three mean/variance pairs. The mean/variance pairs are smoothed exponential estimates and the algorithm used is the one used to calculate round trip times in network code. The mean and variance pairs maintained in GFS2 are not scaled, but are in units of integer nanoseconds.
- srtt/srttvar: Smoothed round trip time for non-blocking operations
- srttb/srttvarb: Smoothed round trip time for blocking operations
- irtt/irttvar: Inter-request time (for example, time between DLM requests)
A non-blocking request is one which will complete right away, whatever the state of the DLM lock in question. That currently means any requests when (a) the current state of the lock is exclusive (b) the requested state is either null or unlocked or (c) the "try lock" flag is set. A blocking request covers all the other lock requests.
Larger times are better for IRTTs, whereas smaller times are better for the RTTs.
Statistics are kept in two
sysfs files:
- The
glstatsfile. This file is similar to theglocksfile, except that it contains statistics, with one glock per line. The data is initialized from "per cpu" data for that glock type for which the glock is created (aside from counters, which are zeroed). This file may be very large. - The
lkstatsfile. This contains "per cpu" stats for each glock type. It contains one statistic per line, in which each column is a cpu core. There are eight lines per glock type, with types following on from each other.
