[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2 0/4] improve compression throughput

[Dominik Csapak]

this series replaces my previous 2 patches [0] for that

in my tests (again current master) it improved the throughput if
the source/target storage is fast enough (tmpfs -> tmpfs):

Type                master (MiB/s)   with my patches (MiB/s)
.img file           ~614             ~767
pxar one big file   ~657             ~807
pxar small files    ~576             ~627

It would be great, if someone else can cross check my results here.
Note: the the pxar code being faster than the img code seems to stem
from better multithreading pipelining in that code or in tokio (pxar
codepath scales more directly with more cores than the .img codepath)

changes from v1:
* reorder patches so that the data blob writer removal is the first one
* add tests for DataBlob that we can decode what we encoded
  (to see that my patches don't mess up the chunk generation)
* add new patch to cleanup the `encode` function a bit

Dominik Csapak (4):
  remove data blob writer
  datastore: test DataBlob encode/decode roundtrip
  datastore: data blob: increase compression throughput
  datastore: DataBlob encode: simplify code
