[PATCH 07/15] writeback: split inode_wb_list_lock into bdi_writeback.list_lock

From: Wu Fengguang
Date: Tue Jun 07 2011 - 17:45:42 EST

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Split the global inode_wb_list_lock into a per-bdi_writeback list_lock,
as it's currently the most contended lock in the system for metadata
heavy workloads. It won't help for single-filesystem workloads for
which we'll need the I/O-less balance_dirty_pages, but at least we
can dedicate a cpu to spinning on each bdi now for larger systems.

Based on earlier patches from Nick Piggin and Dave Chinner.

It reduces lock contentions to 1/4 in this test case:
10 HDD JBOD, 100 dd on each disk, XFS, 6GB ram
