Subject: [PATCH v3 4/6] dm snapshot: Replace mutex with rw semaphore
Date:   Sun, 17 Mar 2019 14:22:56 +0200
Message-Id: <20190317122258.21760-5-ntsironis@arrikto.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190317122258.21760-1-ntsironis@arrikto.com>
References: <20190317122258.21760-1-ntsironis@arrikto.com>

Precedence: bulk

dm-snapshot uses a single mutex to serialize every access to the
snapshot state. This includes all accesses to the complete and pending
exception tables, which occur at every origin write, every snapshot
read/write and every exception completion.

The lock statistics indicate that this mutex is a bottleneck (average
wait time ~480 usecs for 8 processes doing random 4K writes to the
origin device) preventing dm-snapshot to scale as the number of threads
doing IO increases.

The major contention points are __origin_write()/snapshot_map() and
pending_complete(), i.e., the submission and completion of pending
exceptions.

Replace this mutex with a rw semaphore.

We essentially revert commit ae1093be5a0ef9 ("dm snapshot: use mutex
instead of rw_semaphore") and together with the next two patches we
substitute the single mutex with a fine-grained locking scheme, where we
use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the
snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit
spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception
tables.
