[PATCH] direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systems
From: Jens Axboe
Date: Wed Apr 15 2015 - 14:24:58 EST
Hi,
This is a reposting of a patch that was originally in the blk-mq series.
It has huge upside on shared access to a multiqueue device doing
O_DIRECT, it's basically the scaling block that ends up killing
performance. A quick test here reveals that we spend 30% of all system
time just incrementing and decremening inode->i_dio_count. For block
devices this isn't useful at all, as we don't need protection against
truncate. For that test case, performance increases about 3.6x (!!) by
getting rid of this inc/dec per IO.
I've cleaned it up a bit since last time, integrating the checks in
inode_dio_done() and adding a inode_dio_begin() so that callers don't
need to know about this.
We've been running a variant of this patch in the FB kernel for a while.
I'd like to finally get this upstream.
