    vfs: optimization for touch_atime() · b12536c2
    Andi Kleen 提交于
    Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for
    IO intensive workloads.  Most likely that's due to the lock in
    mnt_want_write().  Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and
    then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime
    or relatime).
    
    Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then
    if that didn't succeed take the lock.  That works because none of the
    atime avoidance tests rely on locking.
    
    This also eliminates a goto.
