[RFC PATCH] ext4: improve discard efficiency

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

 



In commit a015434480dc("ext4: send parallel discards on commit
completions"), issue all discard commands in parallel make all
bios could merged into one request, so lowlevel drive can issue
multi segments in one time which is more efficiency, but commit
55cdd0af2bc5 ("ext4: get discard out of jbd2 commit kthread contex")
seems broke this way, let's fix it.
In my test, the time of fstrim fs with multi big sparse file
reduce from 6.7s to 1.3s.
