Subject: [PATCH v3 08/12] NFSv4/flexfiles: give each direction its own lock and cacheline
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 13:20:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106182105.78611-9-snitzer@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106182105.78611-1-snitzer@kernel.org>
From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@hammerspace.com>
A read uses only read_stat and a write only write_stat, but both take
the same stripe lock, and an I/O dirties two cachelines.
Move the lock into struct nfs4_ff_layoutstat, with the in-flight count,
and replace nfs4_ff_busy_timer with a ktime_t. The structure is then
exactly 64 bytes:
spinlock_t lock 4
int ops_in_flight 4
struct nfs4_ff_io_stat io_stat 48
ktime_t busy_start_time 8
Align it to a cacheline. An I/O now dirties one line, and a read and a
write to one stripe share neither a lock nor a line. The stripe
shrinks from 384 to 320 bytes, still a multiple of 64 and of 128.
The reporting paths take the two locks in turn. The statistics are
advisory and were never sampled atomically with in-flight I/O.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, spinlock_t is larger
and the structure takes two lines. This affects only the packing.
