Subject: Re: [PATCH 08/16] pnfs: wave 3: lseg refcounting
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:06:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110215150628.GA24358@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4D5A94CD.4030508@panasas.com>
Btw, what's the point for deferring the free_lseg calls? It looks like it's
to avoid calling something that might block under i_lock, but looking around
the pnfs-submit branch it seems that root cause could be fixed trivially.
In common code *free_lseg* and *put_layout_hdr* do nothing but list
manipulations and kfrees. And in filelayout_free_lseg we have just kfrees
and a call to pnfs_put_deviceid which may sleep due to calling
synchronize_rcu. But synchronize_rcu is horribly inefficient to start with,
and you'd better be off using call_rcu to free the device id, which will
lead to much saner code and better performance.
