v1->v2: - Remove percpu_stats_reset() which is not really needed in this patchset. - Move some percpu_stats* functions to the newly created lib/percpu_stats.c. - Add a new patch to support 64-bit statistics counts in 32-bit architectures. - Rearrange the patches by moving the percpu_stats patches to the front followed by the ext4 patches. This patchset aims to improve parallel I/O performance of the ext4 filesystem on fast storage devices like NVDIMM. It also introduces a set of percpu statistics count helper functions that facilitate the management of percpu statistics counts. Patch 1 provides a set of simple percpu statistics count helper functions. Patch 2 enables the use of 64-bit counts for 32-bit architectures. Patch 3 eliminates duplicated inode_dio_begin()/inode_dio_end() calls. Patch 4 converts some ext4 statistics counts into percpu counts using the helper functions.
