Subject: [PATCH] ext4: change the type of ext4 cache stats to percpu_counter to improve performance

From: Yang Guo <[email protected]>

@es_stats_cache_hits and @es_stats_cache_misses are accessed frequently in
ext4_es_lookup_extent function, it would influence the ext4 read/write
performance in NUMA system.
Let's optimize it using percpu_counter, it is profitable for the
performance.

The test command is as below:
fio -name=randwrite -numjobs=8 -filename=/mnt/test1 -rw=randwrite
-ioengine=libaio -direct=1 -iodepth=64 -sync=0 -norandommap -group_reporting
-runtime=120 -time_based -bs=4k -size=5G

And the result is better 10% than the initial implement:
without the patch,IOPS=197k, BW=770MiB/s (808MB/s)(90.3GiB/120002msec)
with the patch, IOPS=218k, BW=852MiB/s (894MB/s)(99.9GiB/120002msec)

Applied with some adjustments so it would apply. I also changed the patch summary to:

This patch is causing the following. Probably because there's no calls to
percpu_counter_destroy() for the new counters?

Sorry that We may miss it completely, we shall double check it and
make the proper patch carefully.

I have checked it again, @es_stats_cache_hits and @es_stats_cache_miesses
have been initialized before the journal inode is loaded, Maybe I miss
something else?

egrep "ext4_es_register_shrinker|ext4_load_journal" fs/ext4/super.c
4260: if (ext4_es_register_shrinker(sbi))
4302: err = ext4_load_journal(sb, es, journal_devnum);

Thanks,

No, sorry, that was my mistake. I misread things when I was looking
over your patch last night.

Please resubmit your patch once you've fixed things up and tested it.

I would recommend that you at least try running your patch using the
kvm-xfstests's smoke test[1] before submitting them. It will save you
and me time.
