Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 1/1] loop: scale loop device by introducing per device lock
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:24:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YA/fwFU+Wg6+jr85@pevik> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210125201156.1330164-2-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

Hi,

> Currently, loop device has only one global lock:
> loop_ctl_mutex.

> This becomes hot in scenarios where many loop devices are used.

> Scale it by introducing per-device lock: lo_mutex that protects the
> fields in struct loop_device. Keep loop_ctl_mutex to protect global
> data such as loop_index_idr, loop_lookup, loop_add.

> Lock ordering: loop_ctl_mutex > lo_mutex.

Kind regards,
Petr
