Looking into firefox threads calling fsync()
I've been looking into fsync calls made by firefox to understand how
efficient it is with regards to filesystems.
I used strace to track the fsync calls made by the threads of firefox over
a browsing session and here's what I've found,
Total number of calls made - http://i.imgur.com/ZstXCuO.png
Calls made by each thread - http://imgur.com/8Ymb1bn.png
Sorry about the links. It seems you need atleast 10 reputation to add photos.
Though firefox created ~90 threads over the session, only 12 made fsync()
calls.
Now how do I go about finding the specific function of these threads?
Like, is the thread a tab, or is it some background firefox process? Where
should I start looking?
Rephrasing the question to help anyone out in the future, how do you find
the specific function of a firefox thread?
Any input/tips will be greatly appreciated!
