Subject: [PATCH v9 3/5] vfs: Use dlock list for superblock's inode list
Date:   Wed, 12 Sep 2018 15:28:50 -0400
Message-Id: <1536780532-4092-4-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <1536780532-4092-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>
References: <1536780532-4092-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

When many threads are trying to add or delete inode to or from
a superblock's s_inodes list, spinlock contention on the list can
become a performance bottleneck.

This patch changes the s_inodes field to become a dlock list which
is a distributed set of lists with per-list spinlocks.  As a result,
the following superblock inode list (sb->s_inodes) iteration functions
in vfs are also being modified:

 1. iterate_bdevs()
 2. drop_pagecache_sb()
 3. evict_inodes()
 4. invalidate_inodes()
 5. fsnotify_unmount_inodes()
 6. add_dquot_ref()
 7. remove_dquot_ref()

With an exit microbenchmark that creates a large number of threads,
attachs many inodes to them in procfs and then exits. The runtimes of
that microbenchmark with various number of threads before and after
the patch on a 4-socket Intel E7-8867 v3 system (64 cores, 128 threads)
on a 4.19-rc3 based kernel were as follows:

  # of threads  Elapsed/Sys Time    Elapsed/Sys Time    Speedup
