Currently, at least 3 tree walks are needed for filemap folio adding if
the folio is previously evicted. One for getting the order of current slot,
one for ranged conflict check, and one for another order retrieving.
If a split is needed, more walks are needed.
This series is trying to merge these walks, and speed up filemap_add_folio,
I see a 7.5% - 12.5% performance gain for fio stress test.
So instead of doing multiple tree walks, do one optimism range check
with lock hold, and exit if raced with another insertion. If a shadow
exists, check it with a new xas_get_order helper before releasing the
lock to avoid redundant tree walks for getting its order.
Drop the lock and do the allocation only if a split is needed.
In the best case, it only need to walk the tree once. If it needs
to alloc and split, 3 walks are issued (One for first ranged
conflict check and order retrieving, one for the second check after
allocation, one for the insert after split).
Testing with 4K pages, in an 8G cgroup, with 16G brd as block device:
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
fio -name=cached --numjobs=16 --filename=/mnt/test.img \
--buffered=1 --ioengine=mmap --rw=randread --time_based \
--ramp_time=30s --runtime=5m --group_reporting
Before:
bw ( MiB/s): min= 1027, max= 3520, per=100.00%, avg=2445.02, stdev=18.90, samples=8691
iops : min=263001, max=901288, avg=625924.36, stdev=4837.28, samples=8691
After (+7.3%):
bw ( MiB/s): min= 493, max= 3947, per=100.00%, avg=2625.56, stdev=25.74, samples=8651
iops : min=126454, max=1010681, avg=672142.61, stdev=6590.48, samples=8651
Test result with THP (do a THP randread then switch to 4K page in hope it
issues a lot of splitting):
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
fio -name=cached --numjobs=16 --filename=/mnt/test.img \
--buffered=1 --ioengine=mmap -thp=1 --readonly \
--rw=randread --time_based --ramp_time=30s --runtime=10m \
--group_reporting
fio -name=cached --numjobs=16 --filename=/mnt/test.img \
--buffered=1 --ioengine=mmap \
--rw=randread --time_based --runtime=5s --group_reporting

iops : min= 1029, max= 3548, avg=1979.52, stdev=24.23, samples=18976·
READ: bw=4545B/s (4545B/s), 4545B/s-4545B/s (4545B/s-4545B/s), io=64.0KiB (65.5kB), run=14419-14419msec
After (+10.4%):
bw ( KiB/s): min= 4611, max=15370, per=100.00%, avg=8928.74, stdev=105.17, samples=19146

The performance is better for both 4K (+7.5%) and THP (+12.5%) cached read.
V2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240325171405.99971-1-ryncsn@xxxxxxxxx/
Updates from V2:
- Fix the misusage of locks in test module:
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202404151046.448e2d6e-lkp@xxxxxxxxx
V1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240319092733.4501-1-ryncsn@xxxxxxxxx/
Updates from V1:
- Collect Acks.
- Add tests for new xas_get_order and combined usage of xas_get_order with
xas_for_each_conflict.
- Fix a memleak for patch 4/4 and modify the function in place instead
of adding a new helper.
- Update benchmark, I forgot to drop cache and disable THP for pervious
test, so the result was for mixed usaged of split and add. The result
is even better now.
