Commit Message

Qu Wenruo April 2, 2019, 9:45 a.m. UTC
There are two tree lock events which can sleep:
- btrfs_tree_read_lock()
- btrfs_tree_lock()

Sometimes we may need to look into the concurrency picture of the fs.
For that case, we need the execution time of above two functions and the
owner of @eb.

Here we introduce a trace events for user space tools like bcc, to get
the execution time of above two functions, and get detailed owner info
where eBPF code can't.

All the overhead is hidden behind the trace events, so if events are not
enabled, there is no overhead.

Also, since this patch and later user space tool only cares about the
execution time and owner, other info like bytenr is ignored in this
events.

The time is definetelly the interesting part here, I'm thinking if the
block number could also provide some useful hints. The gathered trace
data can be used to group by blocks to compare the times, or see the
histogram of times.

The block at minimum would be useful and I don't want to add more
information there, like level or nritems. In case we do want that
information, a heavier tracepoint version should be added with all the
other data.

I think the delta between start_ns and end_ns should be printed too, so
it's obvious without further processing:

The block number is not that useful in current form.
As a block number can be the same while contains data for different
trees between different transactions.

That's the reason why owner makes more sense in this situation.

To make block number makes sense, we need to pair
trace_btrfs_tree_lock() with trace_btrfs_tree_unlock().

My idea is to put that processing part into user space.
So we can reduce the space usage of the event buffer.

But it will do no harm anyway, so I'll add the output.

Right, so the generation would have to be printed too, that's more than
I'd thought.

Postprocessing is always an option, but the calculated value is more for
a quick glance or simply is suitable for copy&paste of the trace log.

Generation itself already makes sense.
With tree locking it could be used as a minor indicator of transaction
locking (although still unreliable).

It won't do harm, but quick glance may not make sense for such heavy
calling trace.

Anyway, I'll add generation, block and diff_ns into the output.
Since bcc can do extra filter on the trace events, it shouldn't cause
much buffer space problem.

Thanks,
