[PATCH v2 0/9] dm: changes staged in linux-next for 5.1 so far

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This v2 eliminates the dm-mpath local cache for per-bio-data and
switches to allocating the target required per-bio-data as part of the
'struct dm_noclone' allocation -- special thanks to Mikulas for his
ideas and patch (#6) that went into this v2.

Test results show a slight improvement for bio-based dm-multipath (but
not the kind of win dm-linear gets from switching to noclone):

   linear: raw=6087MB/s clone=4241MB/s noclone=5148MB/s
   mpath:  raw=6087MB/s clone=3331MB/s noclone=3420MB/s

More work is needed to improve DM multipath performance (story of my
life)... but at least this shifts the focus away from DM core and back
to the dm-multipath target code.

Mike Snitzer (6):
  dm: update dm_process_bio() to split bio if in ->make_request_fn()
  dm: eliminate 'split_discard_bios' flag from DM target interface
  dm: improve noclone bio support
  dm: improve noclone_endio() to support multipath target
  dm mpath: enable noclone support for bio-based
  dm: remove unused _rq_tio_cache and _rq_cache

Mikulas Patocka (3):
  dm: refactor start_io_acct and end_io_acct
  dm: implement noclone optimization for bio-based
  dm: add per-bio-data support to noclone bio
