Many monitoring tools include open file count as a metric. Currently the only way to get this number is to enumerate the files in /proc/pid/fd. The problem with the current approach is that it does many things people generally don't care about when they need one number for a metric. In our tests for cadvisor, which reports open file counts per cgroup, we observed that reading the number of open files is slow. Out of 35.23% of CPU time spent in `proc_readfd_common`, we see 29.43% spent in `proc_fill_cache`, which is responsible for filling dentry info. Some of this extra time is spinlock contention, but it's a contention for the lock we don't want to take to begin with. We considered putting the number of open files in /proc/pid/status. Unfortunately, counting the number of fds involves iterating the open_files bitmap, which has a linear complexity in proportion with the number of open files (bitmap slots really, but it's close). We don't want to make /proc/pid/status any slower, so instead we put this info in /proc/pid/fd as a size member of the stat syscall result. Previously the reported number was zero, so there's very little risk of breaking anything, while still providing a somewhat logical way to count the open files with a fallback if it's zero. RFC for this patch included iterating open fds under RCU. Thanks to Frank Hofmann for the suggestion to use the bitmap instead. Previously: ``` $ sudo stat /proc/1/fd | head -n2 File: /proc/1/fd Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1024 directory ``` With this patch: ``` $ sudo stat /proc/1/fd | head -n2 File: /proc/1/fd Size: 65 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1024 directory ``` Correctness check: ``` $ sudo ls /proc/1/fd | wc -l 65 ``` I added the docs for /proc/<pid>/fd while I'm at it.
