[PATCH] block/mq-deadline: Speed up the dispatch of low-priority requests

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

 



dd_queued() traverses the percpu variable for summation. The more cores,
the higher the performance overhead. I currently have a 128-core board and
this function takes 2.5 us. If the number of high-priority requests is
small and the number of low- and medium-priority requests is large, the
performance impact is significant.

Let's maintain a non-percpu member variable 'nr_queued', which is
incremented by 1 immediately following "inserted++" and decremented by 1
immediately following "completed++". Because both the judgment dd_queued()
in dd_dispatch_request() and operation "inserted++" in dd_insert_request()
are protected by dd->lock, lock protection needs to be added only in
dd_finish_request(), which is unlikely to cause significant performance
side effects.

Tested on my 128-core board with two ssd disks.
