Summary of Changes

Hello @yiduoyunQ, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the check-before-deployment.md document by integrating direct links to comprehensive operating system tuning guides. The update aims to provide users with immediate access to detailed information regarding Transparent Huge Pages (THP), I/O scheduler settings, and CPU frequency scaling, ensuring they can easily find best practices for optimizing TiDB in production environments.

Highlights

  • Documentation Enhancement: Added direct reference links within the check-before-deployment.md document to detailed operating system tuning guides for Transparent Huge Pages (THP), I/O scheduler, and CPU frequency scaling.
  • Improved User Navigation: The update provides users with immediate access to more in-depth information on recommended OS optimizations for TiDB production environments, streamlining the process of finding best practices.

Code Review

This pull request adds helpful cross-references to the OS tuning documentation. My review focuses on correcting the link anchors, which appear to be broken, and slightly improving the sentence structure for better readability. The suggested changes ensure the links are functional and the text is clear and concise.

1. Refer to [Memory—transparent huge page (THP)](/tune-operating-system/#Memory—transparent huge page (THP)) and disable THP (Transparent Huge Pages). The memory access pattern of databases tends to be sparse rather than consecutive. If the high-level memory fragmentation is serious, higher latency will occur when THP pages are allocated.
2. Refer to [I/O scheduler](/tune-operating-system/#I/O scheduler) and set the I/O Scheduler of the storage media.

- For the high-speed SSD storage, the kernel's default I/O scheduling operations might cause performance loss. It is recommended to set the I/O Scheduler to first-in-first-out (FIFO), such as `noop` or `none`. This configuration allows the kernel to pass I/O requests directly to hardware without scheduling, thus improving performance.
- For NVMe storage, the default I/O Scheduler is `none`, so no adjustment is needed.
3. Choose the `performance` mode for the cpufrequ module which controls the CPU frequency. The performance is maximized when the CPU frequency is fixed at its highest supported operating frequency without dynamic adjustment.
3. Refer to [CPU—frequency scaling](/tune-operating-system/#CPU—frequency scaling) and choose the `performance` mode for the cpufrequ module which controls the CPU frequency. The performance is maximized when the CPU frequency is fixed at its highest supported operating frequency without dynamic adjustment.

Thanks for adding these helpful cross-references. The links seem to be broken due to spaces and special characters in the URL anchors. I've corrected them in the suggestion.

I also slightly rephrased the sentences for better readability, changing 'Refer to ... and ...' to 'Refer to ... to ...'.
