New Dtrace book $9.99

UPDATE: the book sale was only a couple of days and is over now and back to the regular price last I checked

———————————————————-

New Dtrace book $9.99 http://www.informit.com/deals/

As a fan of Active Session History (ASH) I’ve always wanted a version of ASH for operating systems. Operating systems, especially UNIX/Linux and the ilk have generally had ways of generating the basic info such as what process is active at a certain time slice but getting more detailed information was less than obvious if it was possible at all. Now dtrace changes all that.

Let’s take an example. What if I wanted to see all the communication and timings between and NFS client and an NFS server? What happens when I do:

dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=8k count=1

On an NFS mounted file system? First thing we could do is get the timings,size and file being accessed

#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
#pragma D option quiet
dtrace:::BEGIN
{
      printf("%-16s %-18s %2s %-8s %6s %s\n", "TIME(us)",
          "CLIENT", "OP", "OFFSET", "BYTES", "PATHNAME");
}

nfsv3:::op-read-start
{
      rtime[args[1]->noi_xid] = timestamp;
      roffset[args[1]->noi_xid] =  args[2]->offset / 1024;
      rsize[args[1]->noi_xid] =  args[2]->count;
      rname[args[1]->noi_xid] =  args[1]->noi_curpath;
}

nfsv3:::op-read-done
/   rtime[args[1]->noi_xid] /
{
      printf("%-16d %-18s %2s %-8d %6d %s\n", (timestamp - rtime[args[1]->noi_xid])/ 1000,
          args[0]->ci_remote, "R",
          roffset[args[1]->noi_xid] ,
          rsize[args[1]->noi_xid] ,
          args[1]->noi_curpath);
}

nfsv3:::op-write-start
{
      wtime[args[1]->noi_xid] = timestamp;
      woffset[args[1]->noi_xid] =  args[2]->offset / 1024;
      wsize[args[1]->noi_xid] =  args[2]->count;
      wname[args[1]->noi_xid] =  args[1]->noi_curpath;
}

nfsv3:::op-write-done
/   wtime[args[1]->noi_xid] /
{
      printf("%-16d %-18s %2s %-8d %6d %s\n", (timestamp - wtime[args[1]->noi_xid]) / 1000,
          args[0]->ci_remote, "W",
          woffset[args[1]->noi_xid] ,
          wsize[args[1]->noi_xid] ,
          args[1]->noi_curpath);
}

Now if I run the above dtrace, and then kick off the dd, I get some dtrace output like

TIME(us)         CLIENT             OP OFFSET    BYTES PATHNAME
1079             172.16.100.194      W 0          8192 /domain0/group0/vdb1/datafile/u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/foo

The above data says that it took 1ms (or 1079us) to finish the nfs write operation. The “dd” command reports 58ms (ie 5800us)

[oracle@kylelinux orcl]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=8k count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
8192 bytes (8.2 kB) copied, 0.005861 seconds, 140 kB/s

Where did all the extra time come from? One area is the TCP/IP layer above the NFS. We can also trace that. Here is a detailed trace of the “dd” at the TCP/IP level:

    delta      send     recd       seq/ack  seq/ack flags

    39863           <-- 0            1624     5902 ACK|

(notice that the last ACK seems to me to be a lazy ack as it happens well after dd says it is finished) How would I get that info? It gets a little more complex, but here is the Dtrace script for the TCP level:

#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
#pragma D option quiet

inline int TICKS=$1;
inline string ADDR=$$2;

       ticks = TIMER;
       TITLE = 10;
       title = 0;
       walltime=timestamp;
       printf("starting up ...\n");
}

        args[1]->cs_pid ,
        args[2]->ip_plength - args[4]->tcp_offset,
        "",
        args[4]->tcp_seq % 10000,
        args[4]->tcp_ack % 10000,
        flags
      );
    flag=0;
    title--;
}

tcp:::receive
/ ( args[2]->ip_saddr == ADDR || ADDR == NULL )
    && nfs[args[1]->cs_cid]

      printf("%9d %8d %6d %8s <-- %-8d %8d %8d %s \n",         delta/1000,         args[1]->cs_cid  % 100000,
        args[1]->cs_pid ,
        "",
        args[2]->ip_plength - args[4]->tcp_offset,

        args[4]->tcp_ack % 10000,
        flags
      );
    flag=0;
    title--;
}

Now I can run

sudo nfs_details.d 1 172.16.100.194

To get the above output. The above output can get pretty overwhelming, so what about outputting the summaries every second?

Now if I run the above dtrace, and re-run my dd I get the following dtrace output:

client           out_rtt  in_resp in_bytes   in_cnt i_avg_sz i_avg_tm o_bytes_  out_cnt o_avg_sz o_avg_tm
172.16.100.194       764     1968     9188       13     8328     4873     1032        0        8        0

this is telling me that my round trips were 764us server response to incoming requests is 1968us I had 9068 incoming bytes I had 12 incoming packages the average size of packages above 300 bytes was 8328 the average time to response to packets above 300 bytes was 4837us and my dd command (in this case) reported 5.8ms or (5800us) so I’m getting at most the dd response time for the TCP response time to the 8K packet
