Does BlobFS Asynchronous API support multi thread writing?

by chen.zhenghua＠zte.com.cn

Hi everyone, I simply tested the BlobFS Asynchronous API by using SPDK events framework to execute multi tasks, each task writes one file. But it doesn't work, the spdk_file_write_async() reported an error when resizing the file size. The call stack looks like this: spdk_file_write_async() -> __readwrite() -> spdk_file_truncate_async() -> spdk_blob_resize() The resize operation must be done in the metadata thread which invoked the spdk_fs_load(), so only the task dispatched to the metadata CPU core works. That's to say only one thread can be used to write files. It's hard to use, and performance issues may arise. Does anyone knows further more about this? thanks very much

Reporting intermittent test failures

by Harris, James R

Hi all, I’ve seen a lot of cases recently where -1 votes from the test pool have been removed from a patch due to a failure unrelated to the patch, but then nothing was filed in GitHub for that failure. The filing in GitHub could be a new issue, or a comment on an existing issue. Please make those GitHub updates a priority. It’s the only way the project can understand the frequency of those intermittent failures and gather to get them fixed. If you’re not sure if a failure has been seen before, search GitHub issues with the “Intermittent Failure” label, or ask on Slack if anyone else has seen the issue. There is no harm in filing a new issue that may be a duplicate – we can always clean these up later during the next bug scrub meeting. The important thing is that we get the failure tracked. Thanks, -Jim

SPDK socket abstraction layer

by Zawadzki, Tomasz

Hello everyone, Summary: With this message I wanted to update SPDK community on state of VPP socket abstraction as of SPDK 19.07 release. At this time there does not seem to be a clear efficiency improvements with VPP. There is no further work planned on SPDK and VPP integration. Details: As some of you may remember, SPDK 18.04 release introduced support for alternative socket types. Along with that release, Vector Packet Processing (VPP)<https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP> 18.01 was integrated with SPDK, by expanding socket abstraction to use VPP Communications Library (VCL). TCP/IP stack in VPP<https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/HostStack> was in early stages back then and has seen improvements throughout the last year. To better use VPP capabilities, following fruitful collaboration with VPP team, in SPDK 19.07, this implementation was changed from VCL to VPP Session API from VPP 19.04.2. VPP socket abstraction has met some challenges due to inherent design of both projects, in particular related to running separate processes and memory copies. Seeing improvements from original implementation was encouraging, yet measuring against posix socket abstraction (taking into consideration entire system, i.e. both processes), results are comparable. In other words, at this time there does not seem to be a clear benefit of either socket abstraction from standpoint of CPU efficiency or IOPS. With this message I just wanted to update SPDK community on state of socket abstraction layers as of SPDK 19.07 release. Each SPDK release always brings improvements to the abstraction and its implementations, with exciting work on more efficient use of kernel TCP stack - changes in SPDK 19.10 and SPDK 20.01. However there is no active involvement at this point around VPP implementation of socket abstraction in SPDK. Contributions in this area are always welcome. In case you're interested in implementing further enhancements of VPP and SPDK integration feel free to reply, or to use one of the many SPDK community communications channels<https://spdk.io/community/>. Thanks, Tomek

SPDK ABI Improvements

by Howell, Seth

Hello All, We are taking several steps towards solidifying the ABI strategy for SPDK. These include the following: 1. Creating an ABI major/minor versioning scheme for all shared libraries. When a new symbol is added to a library, the shared object minor version will be incremented to show that the library is still backwards compatible. When a symbol is removed or changed, the ABI major version will be updated to indicate that the library is no longer backwards compatible. This versioning scheme will be enforced by the following new test in the SPDK CI: https://review.spdk.io/gerrit/c/spdk/spdk/+/1068. 2. Incrementing the shared object version of each library independently. 3. Creating individual map files for each shared library. As we create individual map files for the libraries, ABIs are likely to change, so please keep an eye out for changes in the major/minor version of SPDK libraries as you continue to link your applications to them. Thank you, Seth Howell

is it possible to add a blacklist for the lvol module?

by peng yu

I have a below scenario: A disk is controlled by SPDK APP A. SPDK APP A exports the disk as a NVMEoF target SPDK APP B is a NVMEoF initiator, it connects to that disk. SPDk APP B creates a lvs and a lvol on the disk. When I restart the APP A and APP B. The APP A will examine the disk and find there is a lvs, and then the lvol module on APP A will claim this disk, then this disk can't be exported over NVMEoF. Could we add a api to the lvol module? The api could add a dev name pattern to a black list. When the lvol module examine a disk, it will check against the black list, if a dev name matches the black list, it will ignore this device. Best regards.

Running SPDK without app framework

by Stojaczyk, Dariusz

Tomek, I'm looking through your patch example/fio: add option to load json_config [1] and have some concerns to the overall design of applications utilizing SPDK without the app framework. First of all, we seem to use spdk_app_json_config_load() to load a JSON config in fio_plugin. The spdk_app_ prefix in that function suggests it's the app framework API, which we don't use in fio_plugin. I'm guessing it should be at least renamed? spdk_json_config_load() maybe? spdk_app_json_config_load() is defined in spdk_internal/event.h. Why is this internal anyway? This practically forces external SPDK users to stick with either legacy json config files, or spdk_app_start(). The question is where should we move it? lib/event.h is currently specific to the app framework. Do you have any plans for SPDK app design without the app framework? I'm guessing we do want to support it (see fio_plugin), but currently it's messy. D. [1] https://review.gerrithub.io/c/spdk/spdk/+/463979/

Re: Fail to start cinder service

by Szwed, Maciej

Hi Ranjan, Nice to meet you. I’m adding SPDK mailing list for wider audience (someone may find it helpful someday 😊 ). Maybe it has to do something with additional comments on each line in configuration file – try to remove them. Also in “spdk_rpc_port =4420” you are missing space after “=” – I doubt that this may has something to do with that missing space, but it is always worth trying removing it. Everything else looks good. Let me know if that won’t work – I’ll try to reproduce environment on my side.
