Subject: [PATCH] iomap: avoid memset iomap when iter is done
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 11:06:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416030642.26744-1-changfengnan@bytedance.com> (raw)

When iomap_iter() finishes its iteration (returns <= 0), it is no longer
necessary to memset the entire iomap and srcmap structures.

In high-IOPS scenarios (like 4k randread NVMe polling with io_uring),
where the majority of I/Os complete in a single extent map, this wasted
memory write bandwidth, as the caller will just discard the iterator.

Use this command to test:
taskset -c 30 ./t/io_uring -p1 -d512 -b4096 -s32 -c32 -F1 -B1 -R1 -X1
-n1 -P1 /mnt/testfile
IOPS improve about 5% on ext4 and XFS.

However, we MUST still call iomap_iter_reset_iomap() to release the
folio_batch if IOMAP_F_FOLIO_BATCH is set, otherwise we leak page
references. Therefore, split the cleanup logic: always release the
folio_batch, but skip the memset() when ret <= 0.
