[PATCH v4 07/10] fuse: Remove fuse_direct_write_iter code path / use IOCB_DIRECT

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

 



fuse_direct_write_iter is basically duplicating what is already
in fuse_cache_write_iter/generic_file_direct_write. That can be
avoided by setting IOCB_DIRECT in fuse_file_write_iter, after that
fuse_cache_write_iter can be used for the FOPEN_DIRECT_IO code path
and fuse_direct_write_iter can be removed.

Before it was using for FOPEN_DIRECT_IO

1) async (!is_sync_kiocb(iocb)) && IOCB_DIRECT

fuse_file_write_iter
    fuse_direct_write_iter
        fuse_direct_IO
            fuse_send_dio

2) sync (is_sync_kiocb(iocb)) or IOCB_DIRECT not being set

fuse_file_write_iter
    fuse_direct_write_iter
        fuse_send_dio

3) FOPEN_DIRECT_IO not set

Same as the consolidates path below

The new consolidated code path is always

fuse_file_write_iter
    fuse_cache_write_iter
        generic_file_write_iter
             __generic_file_write_iter
                 generic_file_direct_write
                     mapping->a_ops->direct_IO / fuse_direct_IO
                         fuse_send_dio

So in general for FOPEN_DIRECT_IO the code path gets longer. Additionally
fuse_direct_IO does an allocation of struct fuse_io_priv - might be a bit
slower in micro benchmarks.
Also, the IOCB_DIRECT information gets lost (as we now set it outselves).
But then IOCB_DIRECT is directly related to O_DIRECT set in
struct file::f_flags.

An additional change is for condition 2 above, which might will now do
async IO on the condition ff->fm->fc->async_dio. Given that async IO for
FOPEN_DIRECT_IO was especially introduced in commit
'commit 23c94e1cdcbf ("fuse: Switch to using async direct IO for
 FOPEN_DIRECT_IO")'
it should not matter. Especially as fuse_direct_IO is blocking for
is_sync_kiocb(), at worst it has another slight overhead.

Advantage is the removal of code paths and conditions and it is now also
possible to remove FOPEN_DIRECT_IO conditions in fuse_send_dio
(in a later patch).
