Description

Memory pool management method of distributed storage system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a memory pool management method of a distributed storage system, and belongs to the technical field of high-performance computing.
Background
To address server-side data processing delays in network transmissions, Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) techniques have been developed that allow data to be moved quickly from one system memory storage to the memory storage of a remote system without any impact on the operating system, thus eliminating the need for as much computer processing power as is required, which eliminates the overhead of external memory copy and context switch, thus freeing memory bandwidth and CPU cycles for improved application system performance. RDMA has low latency, low load, high bandwidth characteristics. In a large-scale distributed storage system, due to the fact that multiple clients and servers perform file operation communication, high requirements are placed on network bandwidth and delay, the traditional TCP/IP protocol cannot meet the requirements more and more, and many distributed storage systems begin to use RDMA (remote direct memory Access) technologies in network communication, such as GlusterFs and Ceph.
In the distributed storage communication scenario, the RDMA technique, while eliminating the overhead of external memory copy and context switch, frees the processor, yet still has data copy between the distributed storage system and the network card for data. In the framework of the prior art, the distributed storage system must frequently perform memory copy from the network card memory pool to the distributed storage system management memory pool and from the distributed storage system management memory pool to the network card memory pool in the read-write process, and the frequent memory copy may become a performance bottleneck of the distributed storage system communication due to the large IO volume of the distributed storage system.
The current memory pool management method in the distributed storage system is mostly only limited to self management, taking data reading as an example, the data is received from the bottom storage device, the data is put into the memory pool of the distributed storage system according to the self data organization mode, and how the data is sent to the network card memory pool from the memory pool of the distributed storage system and then to the remote end through the RDMA technology, most of the data is memory copy. Under the scene of massive read-write data of the distributed storage system, the time consumed by frequent memory copying is increased, the overhead of context switching is also increased, the data transmission efficiency of the distributed storage system is reduced, and the overall performance is influenced.
Currently, a communication protocol based on the RDMA technology has become a preferred method for high-speed and high-performance data transmission, and at present, the data transmission module of the distributed storage system also uses the RDMA protocol to improve the transmission efficiency of data in a network. The distributed storage system needs to go through two memory copies during both write and read operations. During reading operation, data needs to be subjected to two memory copies from a bottom storage device to a memory pool managed by the distributed storage system and from the memory pool managed by the distributed storage system to a network card memory pool, and during writing operation, data needs to be subjected to two memory copies from a user application data space to the network card memory pool and from the network card memory pool to the memory pool managed by the distributed storage system, and during mass data transmission, frequent memory copies affect the transmission performance of the system.
