5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 373ac521799d9e97061515aca6ec6621789036bb upstream. journal_clean_one_cp_list() has been merged into journal_shrink_one_cp_list(), but do chekpoint buffer cleanup from the committing process is just a best effort, it should stop scan once it meet a busy buffer, or else it will cause a lot of invalid buffer scan and checks. We catch a performance regression when doing fs_mark tests below. Test cmd: ./fs_mark -d scratch -s 1024 -n 10000 -t 1 -D 100 -N 100 Before merging checkpoint buffer cleanup: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 95 10000 1024 8304.9 49033 After merging checkpoint buffer cleanup: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 95 10000 1024 7649.0 50012 FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 95 10000 1024 2107.1 50871 After merging checkpoint buffer cleanup, the total loop count in journal_shrink_one_cp_list() could be up to 6,261,600+ (50,000+ ~ 100,000+ in general), most of them are invalid. This patch fix it through passing 'shrink_type' into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and add a new 'SHRINK_BUSY_STOP' to indicate it should stop once meet a busy buffer. After fix, the loop count descending back to 10,000+.
