[PATCH v3 0/3] fs/file.c: optimize the critical section of file_lock in

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

 



pts/blogbench-1.1.0 is a benchmark designed to replicate the
load of a real-world busy file server by multiple threads of
random reads, writes, and rewrites. When running default configuration
with multiple parallel threads, hot spin lock contention is observed
from alloc_fd(), file_closed_fd() and put_unused_fd() around file_lock.

These 3 patches are created to reduce the critical section of file_lock
in alloc_fd() and close_fd(). As a result, on top of patch 1,
pts/blogbench-1.1.0 has been improved by 28% for read and 12% for write
on Intel ICX 160 cores configuration with v6.10-rc6.

v2 -> v3:
1. Rebased the patch set to latest v6.10-rc6 and updated the performance results
2. Reordered the patches as suggested by Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com>
3. Updated the fast path from alloc_fd() to find_next_fd() as suggested by
Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com> and Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>, it is efficient
and more concise than v2.

v1 -> v2:
1. Rebased the patch set to latest v6.10-rc4 and updated the performance results
2. Fixed the bug identified by Mateusz Guzik in patch 1 with adding rlimit check
for fast path
3. Updated patch 3 to remove sanity_check directly per the alignment with
maintainer

Yu Ma (3):
  fs/file.c: remove sanity_check and add likely/unlikely in alloc_fd()
  fs/file.c: conditionally clear full_fds
  fs/file.c: add fast path in find_next_fd()
