Direct memory access bypasses the filesystem cache and avoids memory copies to and from kernel space, writing and reading directly to and from the disk device cache. File I/O is done directly to and from user space buffers regardless of whether the file descriptor is a block device or regular file. To enable direct memory access, use the following open flag or method according to the platform:
O_DIRECT (FreeBSD, Linux, Windows)
Provide as a flag to fs.open()
when opening a block device or regular file to
enable direct memory access.
On Windows, O_DIRECT
is supported as of
libuv 1.16.0
(i.e. Node 9.2.0 and up), where O_DIRECT
is mapped to
FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING.
setF_NOCACHE(fd, value, callback) (macOS)
Turns data caching off or on for an open file descriptor for a block device or regular file:
- A
value
of1
turns data caching off (this is the nearest equivalent ofO_DIRECT
on macOS). - A
value
of0
turns data caching back on.
Turning data caching off with F_NOCACHE
will not purge any previously cached
pages.
Subsequent direct reads will continue to return cached pages if they exist, and
concurrent processes may continue to populate the cache through non-direct
reads. To ensure direct reads on macOS (for example when data scrubbing) you
should set F_NOCACHE
as soon as possible to avoid populating the cache.
Alternatively, if you want to ensure initial boot conditions with a cold disk
buffer cache, you can purge the entire cache for all files using sudo purge
.
This will affect system performance.
When writing or reading to and from a block device or regular file using direct
memory access, you need to make sure that your buffer is aligned correctly or
you may receive an EINVAL
error or be switched back silently to non-DMA mode.
To be aligned correctly, the address of the allocated memory must be a multiple
of alignment
, i.e. the physical sector size (not logical sector size) of the
block device. Buffers allocated using Node's Buffer.alloc()
and related
methods will not meet these alignment requirements. Use getAlignedBuffer()
to
create aligned buffers:
getAlignedBuffer(size, alignment) (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Windows)
Returns an aligned buffer:
size
must be greater than 0, and a multiple of the physical sector size of the block device (typically 512 bytes or 4096 bytes).size
must be at mostrequire('buffer').kMaxLength
bytes.alignment
must be at least 8 bytes for portability between 32-bit and 64-bit systems.alignment
must be a power of two, and a multiple of the physical sector size of the block device.alignment
must be at most 4194304 bytes for a safe arbitrary upper bound.- An alignment of 4096 bytes should be compatible with
Advanced Format drives as well
as backwards compatible with 512 sector drives. If you want to be sure, you
should use
getBlockDevice()
below to get the actual physical sector size of the block device. - Buffers are instances of Node's
Buffer
class and have the same methods and properties, except that they are also aligned. - Buffers are allocated using the appropriate call (either
posix_memalign
or_aligned_malloc
depending on the platform). - Buffers are zero-filled with
memset()
when allocated for safety. - Buffers are automatically freed using the appropriate call when garbage
collected in V8, either
free()
or_aligned_free()
depending on the platform. getAlignedBuffer()
should be used judiciously as the algorithm that realizes the alignment constraint can incur significant memory overhead.
Further reading:
Direct memory access will write directly to the disk device cache but not
necessarily to the disk device storage medium. To ensure that your data is
flushed from the disk device cache to the disk device storage medium, you should
also open the block device or regular file using the O_DSYNC
or O_SYNC
open flags. These are the equivalent of calling fs.fdatasync()
or fs.fsync()
respectively after every write, but with less system call overhead, and with the
advantage that they encourage the disk device to do real work during the
fs.write()
call, which can be useful when overlapping compute-intensive work
with IO.
Some systems implement the O_DSYNC
and O_SYNC
open flags by setting the
Force Unit Access (FUA) flag, which works for SCSI
but
not for
EIDE and SATA drivers.
Conversely, some systems have had bugs where calling fs.fdatasync()
or fs.fsync()
on a regular file would force a flush only if the page cache was
dirty, so that bypassing the page cache using O_DIRECT
meant the disk device
cache was never flushed.
This means that the O_DSYNC
and O_SYNC
open flags are not sufficient on
their own, but should be combined with fs.fdatasync()
or fs.fsync()
for
durability or write barriers. This does not mean that these open flags are not
useful. As we have already seen, they can reduce the latency of the eventual
fsync call, eliminating latency spikes.
O_DSYNC (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Windows)
Flushes all data and only required associated metadata to the underlying hardware.
O_SYNC (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Windows)
Flushes all data and any associated metadata to the underlying hardware.
To understand the difference between O_DSYNC
and O_SYNC
, consider two pieces
of file metadata: the file modification timestamp and the file length. All write
operations will update the file modification timestamp, but only writes that add
data to the end of the file will change the file length. The last modification
timestamp is not required to ensure that the data can be read back successfully,
but the file length is needed. Thus, O_DSYNC
will only flush updates to the
file length metadata, whereas O_SYNC
will also flush the file modification
timestamp metadata.
On Windows, synchronous writes are supported as of
libuv 1.16.0
(i.e. Node 9.2.0 and up), where O_DSYNC
and O_SYNC
are both mapped to
FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH.
Node's fs.fstat()
will not work at all for a block device on Windows, and will
not report the correct size for a block device on other platforms. You should
use getBlockDevice()
instead:
getBlockDevice(fd, callback) (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Windows)
Returns an object with the following properties:
-
logicalSectorSize
- The size of a logical sector in bytes. Some drives will advertise a backwards compatible logical sector size of 512 bytes while their physical sector size is in fact 4096 bytes. -
physicalSectorSize
- The size of a physical sector in bytes. You should use this to decide on thesize
andalignment
parameters when getting aligned buffers so that reads and writes are always a multiple of the physical sector size. Some virtual devices may report aphysicalSectorSize
of 0 bytes. -
size
- The total size of the block device in bytes. -
serialNumber
- The serial number reported by the device. (FreeBSD, Linux)
You will need sudo or administrator privileges to open a block device. You can
use fs.open(path, flags)
to open a block device, where the path you provide
will depend on the platform:
/dev/sda
(FreeBSD, Linux)
/dev/disk1
(macOS)
\\.\PhysicalDrive1
(Windows)
You can use these shell commands to see which block devices are available:
$ camcontrol devlist
(FreeBSD)
$ lsblk
(Linux)
$ diskutil list
(macOS)
$ wmic diskdrive list brief
(Windows)
Windows has
special restrictions
concerning writing to block devices. You must lock the block device by providing
the O_EXLOCK
flag when opening the file descriptor, or else by calling
setFSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME()
after opening the file descriptor. On other platforms
it is good practice to lock the block device by providing either the O_EXCL
or
O_EXLOCK
flag when opening the file descriptor:
O_EXCL (Linux)
Provide as a flag to fs.open()
when opening a block device to obtain an
exclusive mandatory (and not just advisory) lock. When opening a regular file,
behavior is undefined. In general, the behavior of O_EXCL
is undefined if it
is used without O_CREAT
. There is one exception: on Linux 2.6 and later,
O_EXCL
can be used without O_CREAT
if the path refers to a block device. If
the block device is in use by the system e.g. if it is mounted, fs.open()
will
fail with an EBUSY
error.
O_EXLOCK (macOS, Windows)
Provide as a flag to fs.open()
when opening a block device or regular file to
obtain an exclusive mandatory (and not just advisory) lock.
On macOS, when opening a regular file with O_EXLOCK
, fs.open()
will block
until any existing lock is released. While adding O_NONBLOCK
can avoid this,
it also introduces other IO semantics. Using O_EXLOCK
should therefore be
limited to opening a block device on macOS. If the block device is in use by the
system, i.e. it is mounted, fs.open()
will fail with an EBUSY
error.
On Windows, O_EXLOCK
is supported as of libuv 1.17.0
(i.e. Node 9.3.0 and up), where O_EXLOCK
is mapped to an
exclusive sharing mode
of 0. If the block device or regular file is already open, fs.open()
will fail
with an EBUSY
error.
setFSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME(fd, value, callback) (Windows)
Locks a block device on Windows if not in use:
- A
value
of1
locks the block device using FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME. - A
value
of0
unlocks the block device using FSCTL_UNLOCK_VOLUME if it was previously locked. - A locked block device can be accessed only through the file descriptor that locked it.
- A locked block device remains locked until the application unlocks the block
device, or until the file descriptor is closed, either directly through
fs.close()
, or indirectly when the process terminates. - If the specified block device is a system volume or contains a page file, the operation will fail.
- If there are any open files on the block device, the operation will fail. Conversely, success of this operation indicates that there are no open files.
- The system will flush all cached data to the block device before locking it.
- The NTFS file system treats a locked block device as a dismounted volume. The
FSCTL_DISMOUNT_VOLUME
control code functions similarly but does not check for open files before dismounting. - Without a successful lock operation, a dismounted volume may be remounted by any process at any time.
setFlock(fd, value, callback) (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS)
Apply or remove an advisory lock on an open regular file:
- A
value
of1
locks the regular file usingflock(LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB)
. - A
value
of0
unlocks the regular file usingflock(LOCK_UN)
. - Advisory locks allow cooperating processes to perform consistent operations but do not guarantee consistency since other processes may not check for the presence of advisory locks.
- A locked regular file remains locked until the application unlocks the regular
file, or until the file descriptor is closed, either directly through
fs.close()
, or indirectly when the process terminates.
The write performance of various block sizes and open flags can vary across operating systems and between hard drives and solid state drives. Use the included write benchmark to benchmark various block sizes and open flags on the local file system (by default) or on a specific block device or regular file:
WARNING: The write benchmark will erase the contents of the specified block device or regular file if any.
