From: Waiman Long Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] ext4: Improve parallel I/O performance on NVDIMM Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 12:27:54 -0400 Message-ID: <1461947276-25988-1-git-send-email-Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Cc: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Dave Chinner , Christoph Hellwig , Scott J Norton , Douglas Hatch , Toshimitsu Kani , Waiman Long To: "Theodore Ts'o" , Andreas Dilger , Alexander Viro , Matthew Wilcox Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-ext4.vger.kernel.org v4->v5: - Change patch 1 to disable i_dio_count update in do_dax_io(). v3->v4: - For patch 1, add the DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT flag to dax_do_io() calls only to address issue raised by Dave Chinner. v2->v3: - Remove the percpu_stats helper functions and use percpu_counters instead. v1->v2: - Remove percpu_stats_reset() which is not really needed in this patchset. - Move some percpu_stats* functions to the newly created lib/percpu_stats.c. - Add a new patch to support 64-bit statistics counts in 32-bit architectures. - Rearrange the patches by moving the percpu_stats patches to the front followed by the ext4 patches. This patchset aims to improve parallel I/O performance of the ext4 filesystem on DAX. Patch 1 disables update of the i_dio_count as all DAX I/Os are synchronous and should be protected from whatever locking was done by the filesystem caller or within dax_do_io() for read (DIO_LOCKING). Patch 2 converts some ext4 statistics counts into percpu counts using the helper functions.
