From 1229323d5f82bcb0525b312c80330968cd41466e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Behlendorf Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 10:08:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Align thread priority with Linux defaults Under Linux filesystem threads responsible for handling I/O are normally created with the maximum priority. Non-I/O filesystem processes run with the default priority. ZFS should adopt the same priority scheme under Linux to maintain good performance and so that it will complete fairly when other Linux filesystems are active. The priorities have been updated to the following: $ ps -eLo rtprio,cls,pid,pri,nice,cmd | egrep 'z_|spl_|zvol|arc|dbu|meta' - TS 10743 19 -20 [spl_kmem_cache] - TS 10744 19 -20 [spl_system_task] - TS 10745 19 -20 [spl_dynamic_tas] - TS 10764 19 0 [dbu_evict] - TS 10765 19 0 [arc_prune] - TS 10766 19 0 [arc_reclaim] - TS 10767 19 0 [arc_user_evicts] - TS 10768 19 0 [l2arc_feed] - TS 10769 39 0 [z_unmount] - TS 10770 39 -20 [zvol] - TS 11011 39 -20 [z_null_iss] - TS 11012 39 -20 [z_null_int] - TS 11013 39 -20 [z_rd_iss] - TS 11014 39 -20 [z_rd_int_0] - TS 11022 38 -19 [z_wr_iss] - TS 11023 39 -20 [z_wr_iss_h] - TS 11024 39 -20 [z_wr_int_0] - TS 11032 39 -20 [z_wr_int_h] - TS 11033 39 -20 [z_fr_iss_0] - TS 11041 39 -20 [z_fr_int] - TS 11042 39 -20 [z_cl_iss] - TS 11043 39 -20 [z_cl_int] - TS 11044 39 -20 [z_ioctl_iss] - TS 11045 39 -20 [z_ioctl_int] - TS 11046 39 -20 [metaslab_group_] - TS 11050 19 0 [z_iput] - TS 11121 38 -19 [z_wr_iss] Note that under Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted with respect to illumos. High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority while high value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority. In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions their values have been inverted. This way when changes are merged from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro. It could also lead to confusion. This patch depends on https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/pull/466.
