Empirical: isolated NFS read 70 MB/s + write 93 MB/s on the rip1 setup
right now, but mux throughput pinned at 2.7 MB/s on 0.21.5. NOT
environmental — code regression.
Root cause: Phase 1 silently dropped the read-side
posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) eviction that the pre-Phase-1 (0.20.7)
hot path had. Without it, an 85 GB streaming ISO read pins the entire
file in the kernel page cache, starving concurrent MKV writeback. 0.21.2
then also dropped the POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint on the same theory,
compounding the regression.
Restored both, per-OS split:
- linux: posix_fadvise(SEQUENTIAL) at open + posix_fadvise(DONTNEED)
on consumed 32 MiB windows
- macos: F_RDADVISE hint at open (kept); drop_window no-op (macOS unified
buffer cache less prone to the pin pathology)
- windows / other: both no-op stubs
Target mux speed restored to 20+ MB/s (per concurrent-NFS math:
70/2 read × 0.73 MKV/ISO ratio ≈ 25 MB/s achievable).
