[lustre-devel] [PATCH 15/25] lustre: osc: Improve osc_queue_sync_pages

[James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org>]

From: Patrick Farrell <farr0186@gmail.com>

This patch was split and partially done in:
https://review.whamcloud.com/38214

So the text below refers to the combination of this patch
and that one.  This patch now just improves a looped atomic
add by replacing with a single one.  The rest of the grant
calcuation change is in
https://review.whamcloud.com/38214

(I am retaining the text below to show the performance
 improvement)
----------
osc_queue_sync_pages now has a grant calculation component,
this has a pretty painful impact on the new faster DIO
performance.  Specifically, per page ktime_get() and the
per-page atomic_add cost close to 10% of total CPU time in
the DIO path.

We can make this per batch of pages rather than for each
page, which reduces this cost from 10% of CPU to almost
nothing.

This improves write performance by about 10% (but has no
effect on reads, since they don't use grant).

This patch reduces i/o time in ms/GiB by:
Write: 10 ms/GiB
Read: 0 ms/GiB

Totals:
Write: 158 ms/GiB
Read: 161 ms/GiB

mpirun -np 1 $IOR -w -t 1G -b 64G -o $FILE --posix.odirect

Before patch:
write     6071

After patch:
write     6470

(Read is similar.)

This also fixes a mistake in d23d4cb67c / LU-13419 where it
removed the shrink interval update entirely from the direct
i/o path.

Fixes: d23d4cb67c ("lustre: osc: Move shrink update to per-write")
