Page cache sharing benefits EROFS containers

Developers are exploring page cache sharing as a way to improve performance for EROFS containers. This technique appears to offer significant advantages in Linux environments. The findings come from Phoronix, a site focused on Linux hardware and software reviews.

Phoronix has highlighted the potential of page cache sharing for Enhanced Read-Only File System (EROFS) containers. EROFS, a compressed read-only file system used in Linux, could see performance gains through this optimization.

The approach involves sharing page cache among containers, which may reduce memory overhead and speed up operations. Phoronix notes this as particularly beneficial for containerized workloads, aligning with broader trends in Linux benchmarking and server performance.

Keywords associated with the topic include Linux hardware reviews, benchmarks, desktop Linux, and open-source graphics, underscoring the technical focus. While specific benchmarks or implementation details remain limited in available reports, the innovation points to ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency in resource-constrained setups.

This development fits into Phoronix's coverage of Ubuntu hardware, the Phoronix Test Suite, and related Linux technologies.

The Enhanced Read-Only File System, or EROFS, has introduced page cache sharing to significantly reduce memory usage in containerized environments. This feature allows multiple containers to share cached pages from the same file system image, cutting memory waste by 40% to 60%. Developed initially by Huawei, EROFS is gaining traction in cloud and edge computing scenarios.

Kernel developer Cong Wang has introduced DAXFS, a new read-only filesystem designed for direct access to shared memory in Linux. Built on the Direct Access infrastructure, it bypasses traditional page caching to reduce memory overhead. The proposal aims to enable efficient sharing of data across kernels and devices.

Intel's Cache Aware Scheduling feature for the Linux kernel has shown performance gains on Xeon 6 Granite Rapids processors. Engineers developed this functionality to optimize task placement on multi-cache systems. Benchmarks on a dual Xeon setup demonstrate benefits across various workloads.
