InnoDB holepunch experiments

After excellent blogs by Mark Callaghan (see links below), I decided to use some of my time to experiment how different filesystems behave if the holepunch feature is used in MariaDB 10.1. First of all, MariaDB 10.1 does not use holepunch by default even if a table is page compressed (a term used in MariaDB). The holepunch feature in MariaDB is enabled with the innodb-use-trim=1 configuration variable and naturally requires support of the fallocate system call with the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE parameters. Support for these is checked during the cmake build phase.

I used CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) using the 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 Linux kernel and few SSD drives in a RAID-0 setup (Intel X25-E Extreme SSDSA2SH032 G1GN 2.5-inch 32GB SATA II SLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)). …
