      direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systems · fe0f07d0
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode
      ->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against
      truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection.
      
      For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared
      state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it
      presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of
      system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed
      read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with
      better latencies too. Before:
      
      clat percentiles (usec):
       |  1.00th=[   33],  5.00th=[   34], 10.00th=[   34], 20.00th=[   34],
       | 30.00th=[   34], 40.00th=[   34], 50.00th=[   35], 60.00th=[   35],
       | 70.00th=[   35], 80.00th=[   35], 90.00th=[   37], 95.00th=[   80],
       | 99.00th=[   98], 99.50th=[  151], 99.90th=[  155], 99.95th=[  155],
       | 99.99th=[  165]
      
      After:
      
      clat percentiles (usec):
       |  1.00th=[   95],  5.00th=[  108], 10.00th=[  129], 20.00th=[  149],
       | 30.00th=[  155], 40.00th=[  161], 50.00th=[  167], 60.00th=[  171],
       | 70.00th=[  177], 80.00th=[  185], 90.00th=[  201], 95.00th=[  270],
       | 99.00th=[  390], 99.50th=[  398], 99.90th=[  418], 99.95th=[  422],
       | 99.99th=[  438]
      
      In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance
      improvements:
      
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/557
      
      The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets.
      
      Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells
      do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing
      or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.

      page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page() · b9ea2515
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function
      account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters.  It's called from
      truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3).
      Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent
      dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f98 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from
      ongoing truncation").
      
      Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must
      be handled by caller (either written or truncated).  This patch treats
      final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as
      a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it.  If something removes
      dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten
      data might be lost.
      
      Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough
      here.
      
      cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant.  This is
      helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete
      invalidation.
      
      The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c ("Clean up
      and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and
      3e67c098 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running
      try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit
      ecdfc978 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in
      v2.6.25 commit a2b34564 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3
      data=journal").
      
      Custom fixes were introduced between these points.  NFS in v2.6.23, commit
      1b3b4a1a ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()").
      Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a692790 ("Do
      dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache").  Since
      v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.
