From: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@xxxxxxxxxx>
Using tasklets for disk verification can reduce IO latency. When there
are accelerated hash instructions it is often better to compute the
hash immediately using a tasklet rather than deferring verification to
a work-queue. This reduces time spent waiting to schedule work-queue
jobs, but requires spending slightly more time in interrupt context.
If the dm-bufio cache does not have the required hashes we fallback to
the work-queue implementation. FEC is only possible using work-queue
because code to support the FEC feature may sleep.
The following shows a speed comparison of random reads on a dm-verity
device. The dm-verity device uses a 1G ramdisk for data and a 1G
ramdisk for hashes. One test was run using tasklets and one test was
run using the existing work-queue solution. Both tests were run when
the dm-bufio cache was hot. The tasklet implementation performs
significantly better since there is no time spent waiting for
work-queue jobs to be scheduled.
