[RFC] NFSv4: add sysctl for setting READDIR attrs

Benjamin Coddington Aug. 31, 2023, 3:15 p.m. UTC
Expose a knob in sysfs to set the READDIR requested attributes for a
non-plus READDIR request.  This allows installations another option for
tuning READDIR on v4.  Further work is needed to detect whether enough
attributes are being returned to also prime the dcache.

Eh, this ^^ is obviously wrong - we want to allow setting to 0.  I will fix
this if there's interest.

This doesn't seem worthwhile to me. We have a clear reason to add
WORD0_TYPE to "basic" READDIR, which is that we want to be able to fill
out the d_type for getdents.

I don't see the same sort of rationale for fetching other attributes. It
would just be priming the inode cache with certain info. That could
useful for some workloads, but that seems like sort of a niche thing.

Adding more info also reduces the number of entries you can pack into a
READDIR reply, which is makes it easier to trigger cookie problems with
creates and deletes in large directories.

Yeah, and exposing all the bits might create some interesting effects.

The issues I frequently see around READDIR are that we keep micro-optimizing
and regressing in another place.  If we set WORD0_TYPE, there's a non-zero
chance someone might start yelling about it in awhile because their server
takes longer to query the inode.  Its nice we have the option to give the
power back the user sometimes without needing to grow a mount option, or use
a module param (which would appply to the whole system) - so this was a fun
example.

I don't think those two things are related for filesystems with stable
cookies, or I'm not understanding you.

I'm in favor of the default READDIR asking for type.

I'm wary of adding a permanent knob, but I don't see a problem
leaving this patch out on the mailing list if there are one or
two folks who will actively try this out in a multi-server-
implementation environment (say, at bake-a-thon).

There are two sides to the trade-off:

- If the client can pick up more information in a READDIR,
there might be other places where it doesn't need another
synchronous round trip. (and of course, watch out for any
corner cases that might trigger a CB_RECALL/DELEGRETURN).

- A particular server implementation (I recall OnTAP had an
issue) might not have a large cache for file attributes,
and that would turn requests for additional attributes into
extra multiple short metadata reads in the server's filesystem.

Performance studies would be interesting, and I bet this is
something a grad student could experiment with using one of
the "captured trace" workloads that academics have floating
around (or at least they used to have them).

I say test/measure first, but I don't object to the idea.
