Subject: [PATCH 3/3] scsi: align scsi_device iodone_cnt to avoid cache line contention
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 13:16:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402074637.92417-4-sumit.saxena@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402074637.92417-1-sumit.saxena@broadcom.com>
From: James Rizzo <james.rizzo@broadcom.com>
Place iodone_cnt on its own cache line so it does not share a cache line
with iorequest_cnt, avoiding significant performance hits from false
sharing when request and completion paths update these counters on some
CPU architectures.
