Abstract:

This paper designs UHSFS, a user-space high-performance shared file system for NVMe SSD, proposing simple elastic data layout technology, elastic separation of multiple IO queues technology, and multiuser shared memory architecture. The metadata operation performance and IO processing ability are significantly improved, and the shared access of user-space file system is realized. Experiments show that UHSFS has the best metadata operation performance and Filebench workload performance, compared with user-space file systems including UNFS, NVFUSE, BLOBFS, and BLUEFS; queue separation technology can greatly improve IOPS and throughput; UHSFS also has better performance compared with kernel-space file systems including F2FS, XFS and Ext4.

Key words: user-space, file system, NVMe protocol, solid state disk

摘要:

研究并实现面向NVMe SSD的用户态高性能共享式文件系统(UHSFS), 并提出简单弹性的数据布局技术、多粒度IO队列弹性分离技术以及多用户共享内存架构, 这些关键技术能够显著地提升元数据的操作性能和 IO 处理能力, 并且实现用户态文件系统的共享访问。实验结果表明, 与UNFS, NVFUSE, BLOBFS和BLUEFS等用户态文件系统相比, UHSFS的元数据操作性能和Filebench综合负载性能最优; IO队列分离技术能够大幅度地提升吞吐量; 与F2FS, XFS, Ext4等内核态文件系统相比, UHSFS同样表现出性能优势。
