Hi, fio hackers: Version 285d451f5c3e034463ea49a5ba99e8e0eb1b83a2 (snapshot from yesterday) Tiny performance tweak with -DFIO_INC_DEBUG enabled but no debug flags specified (the default if building from source): the dprint macro calls getpid() before checking to see whether or not it's going to actually do anything. This causes a bit of a slowdown if you've built with debugging but aren't using it. The fix is to simply swap them: debug.h: #define dprint(type, str, args...) \ do { \ assert(type < FD_DEBUG_MAX); \ if ((((1 << type)) & fio_debug) == 0) \ break; \ pid_t pid = getpid(); \ I wasn't sure what the style guidelines were for non-initial declaration & assignment, though... Reproducing: run fio under 'perf'; observe 1.x% of time taken by getpid(). :) -Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
