From 5c3f61eb498e8124858b1369096bf64b86a938e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Yao Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 14:24:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Increase Linux pipe buffer size on 'zfs receive' I noticed when reviewing documentation that it is possible for user space to use fctnl(fd, F_SETPIPE_SZ, (unsigned long) size) to change the kernel pipe buffer size on Linux to increase the pipe size up to the value specified in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size. There are users using mbuffer to improve zfs recv performance when piping over the network, so it seems advantageous to integrate such functionality directly into the zfs recv tool. This avoids the addition of two buffers and two copies (one for the buffer mbuffer adds and another for the additional pipe), so it should be more efficient. This could have been made configurable and/or this could have changed the value back to the original after we were done with the file descriptor, but I do not see a strong case for doing either, so I went with a simple implementation.
