[PATCH 1/1] block: optimise in irq bio put caching

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

 



The put side of the percpu bio caching is mainly targeting completions
in the hard irq context, but the context is not guaranteed so we guard
against those cases by switching interrupts off.

Disabling interrupts while they're already disabled is supposed to be
fast, but profiling shows it's far from perfect. Instead, we can infer
the interrupt state from in_hardirq(), which is just a fast var read,
and fall back to the normal bio_free() otherwise. With that, the caching
doesn't cover in softirq/task completions anymore, but that should be
just fine, we have never measured if caching brings anything in those
scenarios.

Profiling indicates that the bio_put() cost is reduced by ~3.5 times
(1.76% -> 0.49%), and and throughput of CPU bound benchmarks improve
by around 1% (t/io_uring with high QD and several drives).
