[PATCH v4 0/2] rcu-based inode lookup for iget*

[Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@gmail.com>]

I revamped the commit message for patch 1, explicitly spelling out a
bunch of things and adding bpftrace output. Please read it.

There was some massaging of lines in the include/linux/fs.h header
files. If you don't like it I would appreciate if you adjusted it
however you see fit on your own.

This adjusts the state to what was suggested by Christian.

Specific results:

ext4 (needed mkfs.ext4 -N 24000000):
before:	3.77s user 890.90s system 1939% cpu 46.118 total
after:  3.24s user 397.73s system 1858% cpu 21.581 total (-53%)

btrfs (s/iget5_locked/iget5_locked_rcu in fs/btrfs/inode.c):
before: 3.54s user 892.30s system 1966% cpu 45.549 total
after:  3.28s user 738.66s system 1955% cpu 37.932 total (-16.7%)

btrfs bottlenecks itself on its own locks here.

Benchmark info in the commit message to the first patch.

fs rundown is as follows:
- ext4 patched implicitly
- xfs does not use the inode hash
- bcachefs is out of the picture as Kent decided to implement his own
  inode hashing based on rhashtable, for now private to his fs.
- btrfs handled in the patchset

I have not looked at others.

v4:
- only provide iget5_locked_rcu
- add a btrfs ack

v3:
- export new routines with _GPL
- don't use the extern keyword
- add ilookup5_rcu to follow iget5_locked scheme

v2:
- add argument lists to new routines
- assert the inode hash lock is not held as applicable
- real btrfs patch included

Mateusz Guzik (2):
  vfs: add rcu-based find_inode variants for iget ops
  btrfs: use iget5_locked_rcu
