面白い。
普通はawkするところをpasteコマンドで改行を+記号に変換し、bcコマンドに食わせる事で足し算だぜーって発想が。
こういう無駄にテクニカルな解法大好き

ほえほえさん経由で見つけたナイスなアーティクル

http://friedcpu.wordpress.com/2007/07/17/why-arent-you-using-ionice-yet/

要約するとioniceは-pオプションでプロセスIDを指定できて、シェルスクリプトは$$でプロセスIDを取得できるんだから、updatedbとかのバッチ的処理すると分かっているスクリプトの先頭に、

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
#! /bin/sh
ionice -c3 -p$$

if [ -x /usr/bin/slocate ]
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

のように1行足しておくと、ラグがなくなるよん。というtips

Hey, don't look at me - blame Brian Kernighan or George Bush or
someone.




超訳:
背景: core dumpをパイプ経由で書き込むときに


static int dump_write(struct file *file, const void *addr, int nr)
{
return file->f_op->write(file, addr, nr, &file->f_pos) == nr;
}



というコードがあって、こんな仮定動くはずねーーー。とか言って議論している

Andi Kleen:
writeの返り値をちゃんとチェックしていないプログラムなんて星の数ほどあるんだから、POSIXがどうのこうのとか言い訳するのはやめようぜ。

Paul Smith:
 うーん、でも多くのファイルシステムがメモリ不足やらなんやらで部分書き込み成功を返すんだよね。ここはcore dumpのところだけ直すのが影響範囲が小さくて・・・
 
Andi Kleen:
 世界中のおばかプログラムを直して回る気?これはAPIデザインが腐ってるよ。きっとプログラマーはLinuxを罵倒するコメントを、エラーチェックのループの先頭に入れることになるだろうね

Yeah. What I'm doing is tracing the XFS directory code. For some
reason unknown to mankind people decided not to store the 0 termination
on disk because we have the string length in the dirent anyway. So
beeing able to specify the length is important to me, aswell as dealing
with NULL strings because there are some directory operations that
are internal and don't deal with any entry and thus don't have a name
associated with them.

Another reason for just dropping the impact Lines. I had hope people
would just stop adding it after the last
flamewar^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdiscussion.

まあ、ようするに、ハイバネーションの改善。
ありがちなことに人間関係が原因で入らないという

I'd like to submit TuxOnIce for review, with a view to seeking to get it
merged, perhaps in 2.6.31 or .32 (depending upon what needs work before
it can be merged) and the willingness of those who matter.

To briefly summarise the advantages to merging TuxOnIce:

- Support for multiple swap devices
- Support for non-swap (an ordinary file can be used)
- Uses cryptoapi (LZO support, more than 2x speed of uncompressed data!)
- Asynchronous I/O, readahead, multithreaded. Get the maximum throughput
possible with your hardware.
- Userspace user interface that lets you abort hibernating and abort
resuming, get nice progress display etc.
- 8 years of testing and improvement.
- Full image of memory (LRU pages that don't need to be atomically
copied are saved prior to the atomic copy, then used as the
destination of the atomic copy).
- Support for resuming a different image after writing an image - makes
powering down a UPS after writing an image doable.
- Simple to set up (works without any userspace binaries, uses existing
resume= and noresume commandline parameters).

The DL elevator has slightly more throughput than cfq and anticipatory,
but is almost unusuable under load.

Running Theodore Ts'os "fsync-tester" while doing Linus' torture test
"while : ; do time sh -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=8M count=256 ; sync; rm bigfile"; done"
shows it clearly:

mount: /dev/sda4 on /home type xfs (rw,noatime,logbsize=256k,logbufs=2,nobarrier)
Kernel 2.6.29.1 (vanilla)
