Skip 2-levels searching via find_next_zero_bit() for this common fast path. Look directly for an open bit in the lower 64 bits of open_fds bitmap when a free slot is available there, as: (1) The fd allocation algorithm would always allocate fd from small to large. Lower bits in open_fds bitmap would be used much more frequently than higher bits. (2) After fdt is expanded (the bitmap size doubled for each time of expansion), it would never be shrunk. The search size increases but there are few open fds available here. (3) There is fast path inside of find_next_zero_bit() when size<=64 to speed up searching. As suggested by Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com> and Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>, update the fast path from alloc_fd() to find_next_fd(). With which, on top of patch 1 and 2, pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read is improved by 13% and write by 7% on Intel ICX 160 cores configuration with v6.10-rc6.

As for this one, the suggestion was to make it work across the entire range. Today I wont have time to write and test what we proposed, but will probably find some time tomorrow. Perhaps Jan will do the needful(tm) in the meantime. That said, please stay tuned for a patch. :)
Sure, understood, Guzik, thanks for the quick feedback and consideration of chances to make it better and more versatile. I'll also give a try to double check previous proposal on entire fds range.
unsigned int maxfd = fdt->max_fds; /* always multiple of BITS_PER_LONG */ unsigned int maxbit = maxfd / BITS_PER_LONG; unsigned int bitbit = start / BITS_PER_LONG; -- 2.43.0
