      blk-mq: improve heavily contended tag case · 4e5dff41
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Even with a number of waitqueues, we can get into a situation where we
      are heavily contended on the waitqueue lock. I got a report on spc1
      where we're spending seconds doing this. Arguably the use case is nasty,
      I reproduce it with one device and 1000 threads banging on the device.
      But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be handling it better.
      
      What ends up happening is that a thread will fail to get a tag, add
      itself to the waitqueue, and subsequently get woken up when a tag is
      freed - only to find itself going back to sleep on the waitqueue.
      
      Instead of waking all threads, use an exclusive wait and wake up our
      sbitmap batch count instead. This seems to work well for me (massive
      improvement for this use case), and it survives basic testing. But I
      haven't fully verified it yet.
      
      An additional improvement is running the queue and checking for a new
      tag BEFORE needing to add ourselves to the waitqueue.

      sbitmap: add sbitmap_get_shallow() operation · c05e6673
      Omar Sandoval 提交于
      This operation supports the use case of limiting the number of bits that
      can be allocated for a given operation. Rather than setting aside some
      bits at the end of the bitmap, we can set aside bits in each word of the
      bitmap. This means we can keep the allocation hints spread out and
      support sbitmap_resize() nicely at the cost of lower granularity for the
      allowed depth.

      kasan, sched/headers: Uninline kasan_enable/disable_current() · af8601ad
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      <linux/kasan.h> is a low level header that is included early
      in affected kernel headers. But it includes <linux/sched.h>
      which complicates the cleanup of sched.h dependencies.
      
      But kasan.h has almost no need for sched.h: its only use of
      scheduler functionality is in two inline functions which are
      not used very frequently - so uninline kasan_enable_current()
      and kasan_disable_current().
      
      Also add a <linux/sched.h> dependency to a .c file that depended
      on kasan.h including it.
      
      This paves the way to remove the <linux/sched.h> include from kasan.h.
