This patch improves idmap parallelism by reducing the serialization of
idmap lookups. Currently, each client can only process one idmap lookup
at a time, potentially delaying other lookups that might be satisfied by
the in kernel cache while waiting for a user space lookup.
The existing code uses two mutexes, but one of them is held the entire
time of the lookup.
The biggest change this patch makes is to re-order lock use so that one
lock serializes multiple user space lookups (for the same nfs_client).
This lock is only held when the kernel cache lookup fails and a user
space lookup must occur. The other lock is used to protect the in kernel
cache (a pair of hash tables). This lock is only held when the internal
cache is being accessed. Further, since most accesses are lookups, this
second lock is changed to a read-write lock.
After acquiring the mutex, a second cache lookup is made just in case a
user space lookup had been in progress for this id.
I tested this using fsstress on an SMP machine. While testing, I put in
some metering code which showed as many as 1000 cache lookups satisfied
while an upcall was in progress, and noted occasional lookups for the id
that an upcall was in progress for.
This patch was modified from an initial patch by Usha Ketineni.
