This patch introduces a new page flag for 64-bit capable machines,
PG_waiters, to signal there are *potentially* processes waiting on
PG_lock or PG_writeback. If there are no possible waiters then we avoid
barriers, a waitqueue hash lookup and a failed wake_up in the unlock_page
and end_page_writeback paths. There is no guarantee that waiters exist if
PG_waiters is set as multiple pages can hash to the same waitqueue and we
cannot accurately detect if a waking process is the last waiter without
a reference count. When this happens, the bit is left set and a future
unlock or writeback completion will lookup the waitqueue and clear the
bit when there are no collisions. This adds a few branches to the fast
path but avoids bouncing a dirty cache line between CPUs. 32-bit machines
always take the slow path but the primary motivation for this patch is
large machines so I do not think that is a concern.
The test case used to evaluate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. After each
dd there is a sync so the reported times do not vary much. By measuring
the time it takes to do async the impact of page_waitqueue overhead for
async IO is highlighted.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or
NUMA artifacts. The performance results are reported based on a run with
no profiling. Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

The profiles show a clear reduction in waitqueue and wakeup functions. Note
that end_page_writeback costs the same as the savings there are due
to reduced calls to __wake_up_bit and page_waitqueue so there is no
obvious direct savings. The cost of unlock_page is higher as it's checking
PageWaiters but it is offset by reduced numbers of calls to page_waitqueue
and _wake_up_bit. There is a similar story told for each of the filesystems.
Note that for workloads that contend heavily on the page lock that
unlock_page may increase in cost as it has to clear PG_waiters so while
the typical case should be much faster, the worst case costs are now higher.
This is also reflected in the time taken to mmap a range of pages.
These are the results for xfs only but the other filesystems tell a
similar story.
