These patches aim to refactor the qmp_query_blockstats() and
improve the performance by reducing the running time of it.
qmp_query_blockstats() is used to monitor the blockstats, it
querys all the graph_bdrv_states or monitor_block_backends.
There are the two jobs:
1 For the performance:
1.1 the time it takes(ns) in each time:
the disk numbers | 10 | 500
-------------------------------------
before these patches | 19429 | 667722
after these patches | 17516 | 557044
1.2 the I/O performance is degraded(%) during the monitor:
the disk numbers | 10 | 500
-------------------------------------
before these patches | 1.3 | 14.2
after these patches | 0.8 | 9.1
Do you know what is consuming the remaining 9.1%?
I'm surprised to see such a high performance impact caused by a QMP
command.
If it's "performance is 9.1% worse only during the 557044 ns when the QMP
command is being processed", it's probably becaues the main loop is
stalled a
bit, and it's not a big problem. I'd be very surprised if the degradation
is
more longer than that.
