NFS: Add static NFS I/O tracepoints
Tools like tcpdump and rpcdebug can be very useful. But there are
plenty of environments where they are difficult or impossible to
use. For example, we've had customers report I/O failures during
workloads so heavy that collecting network traffic or enabling
RPC debugging are themselves onerous.
The kernel's static tracepoints are lightweight (less likely to
introduce timing changes) and efficient (the trace data is compact).
They also work in scenarios where capturing network traffic is not
possible due to lack of hardware support (some InfiniBand HCAs) or
where data or network privacy is a concern.
Introduce tracepoints that show when an NFS READ, WRITE, or COMMIT
is initiated, and when it completes. Record the arguments and
results of each operation, which are not shown by existing sunrpc
module's tracepoints.
For instance, the recorded offset and count can be used to match an
"initiate" event to a "done" event. If an NFS READ result returns
fewer bytes than requested or zero, seeing the EOF flag can be
probative. Seeing an NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID result is also indication
of a particular class of problems. The timing information attached
to each event record can often be useful as well.
Usage example:
[root@manet tmp]# trace-cmd record -e nfs:*initiate* -e nfs:*done
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nfs/*initiate*/filter
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nfs/*done/filter
Hit Ctrl^C to stop recording
^CKernel buffer statistics:
Note: "entries" are the entries left in the kernel ring buffer and are not
recorded in the trace data. They should all be zero.
CPU: 0
entries: 0
overrun: 0
commit overrun: 0
bytes: 3680
oldest event ts: 78.367422
now ts: 100.124419
dropped events: 0
read events: 74
... and so on.
