[PATCH v2 0/4] ext4: Improve parallel I/O performance on NVDIMM

[Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com>]

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 fast storage devices like NVDIMM. It also introduces a
set of percpu statistics count helper functions that facilitate the
management of percpu statistics counts.

Patch 1 provides a set of simple percpu statistics count helper
functions.

Patch 2 enables the use of 64-bit counts for 32-bit architectures.

Patch 3 eliminates duplicated inode_dio_begin()/inode_dio_end() calls.

Patch 4 converts some ext4 statistics counts into percpu counts using
the helper functions.


Waiman Long (4):
  percpu_stats: Simple per-cpu statistics count helper functions
  percpu_stats: Enable 64-bit counts in 32-bit architectures
  ext4: Pass in DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT flag if inode_dio_begin() called
  ext4: Make cache hits/misses per-cpu counts
