Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 2/6] block: use flags instead of bit fields for blkdev_dio
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 11:53:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904155336.1042108-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904155336.1042108-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
[ Upstream commit 09ce8744253a038eb658c14f9dc3b77fa021fc9f ]
This generates a lot better code for me, and bumps performance from
7650K IOPS to 7750K IOPS. Looking at profiles for the run and running
perf diff, it confirms that we're now sending a lot less time there:
6.38% -2.80% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blkdev_direct_IO
Taking it from the 2nd most cycle consumer to only the 9th most at
3.35% of the CPU time.
