NOVA's goal is to provide a high performance, production-ready file system tailored for byte-addressable non-volatile memories (e.g., NVDIMMs and Intel's soon-to-be-released 3DXpoint DIMMs). NOVA was developed at the Non-Volatile Systems Laboratory in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of California, San Diego. Its primary authors are Andiry Xu , Lu Zhang , and Steven Swanson . NOVA is stable enough to run complex applications, but there is substantial work left to do. This RFC is intended to gather feedback to guide its development toward eventual inclusion upstream. The patches are based on Linux 4.16-rc4. Changes from v1: * Remove snapshot, metadata replication and data parity for future submission. This significantly reduces complexity and LOC: 22129 -> 13834. * Breakdown the code in a more reviewer-friendly way: The patchset starts with a simple skeleton and adds more features gradually. Each patch leaves the tree in a compilable and working state, and is self-contained and small, so easier to review. * Fix bugs so that NOVA passes xfstests: https://github.com/NVSL/xfstests Overview ======== NOVA is primarily a log-structured file system, but rather than maintain a single global log for the entire file system, it maintains separate logs for each inode. NOVA breaks the logs into 4KB pages, they need not be contiguous in memory. The logs only contain metadata. File data pages reside outside the log, and log entries for write operations point to data pages they modify. File modification can be done in either inplace update or copy-on-write (COW) way to provide atomic file updates. For file operations that involve multiple inodes, NOVA use small, fixed-sized redo logs to atomically append log entries to the logs of the inodes involved. This structure keeps logs small and makes garbage collection very fast. It also enables enormous parallelism during recovery from an unclean unmount, since threads can scan logs in parallel. Documentation/filesystems/NOVA.txt contains some lower-level implementation and usage information. A more thorough discussion of NOVA's goals and design is avaialable in two papers: NOVA: A Log-structured File system for Hybrid Volatile/Non-volatile Main Memories http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~swanson/papers/FAST2016NOVA.pdf Jian Xu and Steven Swanson Published in FAST 2016 NOVA-Fortis: A Fault-Tolerant Non-Volatile Main Memory File System http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~swanson/papers/SOSP2017-NOVAFortis.pdf Jian Xu, Lu Zhang, Amirsaman Memaripour, Akshatha Gangadharaiah, Amit Borase, Tamires Brito Da Silva, Andy Rudoff, Steven Swanson Published in SOSP 2017 This version contains features from the FAST paper. We leave NOVA-Fortis features for future. Build and Run ============= To build NOVA, build the kernel with PMEM (`CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PMEM`), DAX (`CONFIG_FS_DAX`) and NOVA (`CONFIG_NOVA_FS`) support. Install as usual. NOVA runs on a pmem non-volatile memory region created by memmap kernel option. For instance, adding 'memmap=16G!8G' to the kernel boot parameters will reserve 16GB memory starting from address 8GB, and the kernel will create a pmem0 block device under the /dev directory. After the OS has booted, initialize a NOVA instance with the following commands: # modprobe nova # mount -t NOVA -o init /dev/pmem0 /mnt/nova The above commands create a NOVA instance on /dev/pmem0 and mounts it on /mnt/nova. Currently NOVA does not have mkfs or fsck support. Performance =========== Comparing to other DAX file systems such as ext4-DAX and xfs-DAX, NOVA provides fine-grained, byte granularity metadata operation, and it performs better in metadata-intensive and write-intensive applications. NOVA also excel in append-fsync access pattern, i.e. write-ahead logging, which is very common in DBMS and key-value stores. The following test is performed on Intel i7-3770K with 16GB DRAM and 8GB PMEM emulated with DRAM. The kernel is 4.16-rc4 64bit on Ubuntu 16.04. Performance may vary on different platforms. Filebench throughout (ops/s): xfs-DAX ext4-DAX NOVA Fileserver 86971 177826 334166 Varmail 148032 288033 999794 Webserver 370245 370144 374130 Webproxy 315084 737544 927216 Webserver is read-intensive and all the file systems have similar performance. SQLite test: SQLite has four journaling modes: Delete: delete the undo log file after transaction commit Truncate: truncate the undo log file to zero after transaction commit Persist: write a flag at the beginning of the log file after transaction commit WAL: write-ahead logging SQLite insert (transactions/s): xfs-DAX ext4-DAX NOVA Delete 18525 23615 45289 Truncate 21930 26391 52046 Persist 58053 56106 50554 WAL 38622 62703 85395 NOVA performs bad in Persist mode because it does copy-on-write for writes, and writes 4KB for sub-page writes. Redis: fsync the WAL file after every set. Redis set throughout (trans/s): xfs-DAX ext4-DAX NOVA 49771 88308 102560 RocksDB fillunique test (ops/s): xfs-DAX ext4-DAX NOVA WAL sync 33563 62066 295655 WAL nosync 254533 288106 393713 Both ext4-DAX and xfs-DAX suffer from high fsync overhead. More test results are available in the two NOVA papers. NOVA uses per-inode logging, per-CPU inode table and journal to avoid lock contention. We use the FxMark test suite (https://github.com/sslab-gatech/fxmark) to test the filesystem scalability.
