From: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/filemap.c: generic_file_buffered_read() now uses find_get_pages_contig Convert generic_file_buffered_read() to get pages to read from in batches, and then copy data to userspace from many pages at once - in particular, we now don't touch any cachelines that might be contended while we're in the loop to copy data to userspace. This is is a performance improvement on workloads that do buffered reads with large blocksizes, and a very large performance improvement if that file is also being accessed concurrently by different threads. On smaller reads (512 bytes), there's a very small performance improvement (1%, within the margin of error). akpm: kernel test robot found a 32% speedup on one test: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201030081456.GY31092@shao2-debian Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201025212949.602194-3-kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: kernel test robot <rong.a.chen@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/filemap.c | 313 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 175 insertions(+), 138 deletions(-) --- a/mm/filemap.c~fs-generic_file_buffered_read-now-uses-find_get_pages_contig +++ a/mm/filemap.c @@ -2176,67 +2176,6 @@ static int lock_page_for_iocb(struct kio return lock_page_killable(page);
