使用和不使用 %M 选项显示权限的命令 find 的巨大性能差异

使用和不使用 %M 选项显示权限的命令 find 的巨大性能差异

在我的 CentOS 7.6 上,我通过运行以下命令创建了一个包含 3,000,000 个文件的文件夹(称为 Many_files):

for i in {1..3000000}; do echo $i>$i; done;

我正在使用该命令find将该目录中的文件信息写入文件中。这工作起来出奇的快:

$ time find many_files -printf '%i %y %p\n'>info_file

real    0m6.970s
user    0m3.812s
sys     0m0.904s

现在,如果我添加%M以获取权限:

$ time find many_files -printf '%i %y %M %p\n'>info_file

real    2m30.677s
user    0m5.148s
sys     0m37.338s

该命令需要更长的时间。这让我非常惊讶,因为在 C 程序中我们可以用来struct stat获取文件的 inode 和权限信息,并且在内核中struct inode保存这些信息。

我的问题:

  1. 是什么导致了这种行为?
  2. 有没有更快的方法来获取这么多文件的文件权限?

答案1

第一个版本只需要readdir(3)/getdents(2)在支持此功能的文件系统上运行时的目录(ext4:filetype显示为 的功能tune2fs -l /dev/xxx,xfs:ftype=1显示为xfs_info /mount/point...)。

另外还有第二个版本需要stat(2)每个文件,需要额外的 inode 查找,因此在文件系统和设备上进行更多查找,如果它是旋转磁盘并且未保留缓存,则速度可能会相当慢。stat仅查找名称、索引节点和文件类型时不需要这样做,因为目录条目就足够了:

  The linux_dirent structure is declared as follows:

       struct linux_dirent {
           unsigned long  d_ino;     /* Inode number */
           unsigned long  d_off;     /* Offset to next linux_dirent */
           unsigned short d_reclen;  /* Length of this linux_dirent */
           char           d_name[];  /* Filename (null-terminated) */
                             /* length is actually (d_reclen - 2 -
                                offsetof(struct linux_dirent, d_name)) */
           /*
           char           pad;       // Zero padding byte
           char           d_type;    // File type (only since Linux
                                     // 2.6.4); offset is (d_reclen - 1)
           */
       }

相同的信息可用于readdir(3)

struct dirent {
    ino_t          d_ino;       /* Inode number */
    off_t          d_off;       /* Not an offset; see below */
    unsigned short d_reclen;    /* Length of this record */
    unsigned char  d_type;      /* Type of file; not supported
                                   by all filesystem types */
    char           d_name[256]; /* Null-terminated filename */
};

怀疑但通过比较(在较小的样本上......)以下两个输出来确认:

strace -o v1 find many_files -printf '%i %y %p\n'>info_file
strace -o v2 find many_files -printf '%i %y %M %p\n'>info_file

在我的 Linux amd64 内核 5.0.x 上,这显示为主要区别:
