Attached.  The first script generates a bunch of files, the second
condenses them into the tabular form.  Will need some massaging to
work on anything other than my particular setup, sorry.

Sure.  Lockstat will come later today.  The machine is currently busy
regenerating xfs seqrd numbers.

Hi Jörn,

Did you have a chance to do an ext4 lockstat run?

Many thanks!!

Yes, I did.  But your mails keep bouncing, so you have to look at the
list to see it (or this mail).  Yes, I lack a proper reverse DNS
record, as the IP belongs to my provider, not me.  Most people don't
care, some bounce, some silently ignore my mail.  The joys of spam
filtering.

I didn't see the ext4 lockstat on the list.  Can you resend it to
tytso@google.com or theodore.tso@gmail.com?  MIT is using an
outsourced SPAM provider (Brightmail anti-spam), and I can't do
anything about that, unfortunately.  From what I can tell the
Brightmail doesn't drop all e-mails from non-resolving IP's, but if
it's in a "bad neighborhood" (i.e., your neighbors are all spammers,
or belong to Windows users where 80% of the machines are spambots),
Brightmail is probably going to flag your mail as spam.  :-(

Thanks!

Hi Jörn,

Thanks for forwarding it to me.  It's the same problem as in XFS, the
excessive coverage of the i_mutex lock.  In ext4's case, it's in the
generic generic_file_aio_write() machinery where we need to do the
lock busting.  (XFS apparently doesn't use the generic routines, so
the fix that Dave did won't help ext3 and ext4.)

I don't have the time to look at it now, but I'll put it on my todo
list; or maybe someone with a bit more time can look into how we might
be able to use a similar approach in the generic file system code.

Hi  Jörn and Ted,

Could you anyone send out the ext4 lock stat on the list?

Thank you,
Yongqiang.
