[libvirt RFCv3] virfile: set pipe size in virFileWrapperFdNew to improve throughput
by Claudio Fontana 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

currently the only user of virFileWrapperFdNew is the qemu driver; virsh save is very slow with a default pipe size. This change improves throughput by ~400% on fast nvme or ramdisk. Best value currently measured is 1MB, which happens to be also the kernel default for the pipe-max-size.

[libvirt RFC v2] virfile: set pipe size in virFileWrapperFdNew to improve throughput
by Claudio Fontana 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

virsh save is very slow with a default pipe size, so set a larger one. This change improves throughput by ~400% on fast nvme or ramdisk, for the current only user of virFileWrapperFdNew: the qemu driver. Best value currently measured is 1MB, which happens to be also the kernel default for the pipe-max-size. We do not try to use a pipe buffer larger than what the setting of /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size currently allows.
