Linux下异步IO(libaio)的使用以及性能

libaio

Linux下异步IO是比较新的内核里面才有的,异步io的好处可以参考这里.
但是文章中aio_*系列的调用是glibc提供的,是glibc用线程+阻塞调用来模拟的,性能很差,千万千万不要用。

我们今天要说的是真正的原生的异步IO接口. 由于这几个系统调用glibc没有提供相应的封装,所以libaio来救急了:

libaio项目: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/libaio-oracle/

This is a library for accessing the new AIO system calls (asynchronous i/o) for the Linux kernel. It is a thin, state-keeping wrapper that conforms to the Single Unix Specification for aio_read, aio_write, aio_error, aio_return and aio_suspend functions, and also implements lio_listio and aio_reap for batch processing.

This library requires a kernel with the new AIO code and a recent version of the libaio userspace library.

libaio提供了4个函数: io_cancal, io_destroy, io_getevents, io_setup,io_submit来提供服务,具体的可以参看man io_*

淘宝的雕梁同学写了这篇文章介绍了libaio如何和event一起高效工作:看这里

使用很简单的,在RHEL 5U4上只要安装下开发包就好:

sudo yum install libaio-devel

其实大家会比较关心性能。 fio 测试工具支持同步(pread/pwrite)和异步(libaio)的测试,那我们比较下:

为了减低底层硬件(如raid)cache的影响,我们用总共2G左右的文件做随机读写操作, 完全随机的读写,块大小128K, directio绕过OS page buffer系统, 总共跑1分钟。

在异步io操作的时候只用一个进程保持io队列的长度为16, 同步io开16个进程,保持同样的队列这样会公平些。

测试机器配置:

证明确实aio在工作。

证明确实是pread/pwrite操作的。

从上面的数据我们可以看出,最后的结果都是设备的IO能力将近100%的被使用,二个测试的吞吐量差不多。 但是如果从当个进程提交的吞吐量来看的话,一个aio进程相当于16个同步进程的能力,也就是说如果大家都是一个进程在干活的话,那么aio的能力要比同步的好太多了。

大家玩得开心!
