Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] ext4: increase mbcache scalability
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:54:34 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377186876-57291-1-git-send-email-tmac@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1374108934-50550-1-git-send-email-tmac@hp.com>

The patch consists of two parts.  The first part introduces higher degree of
parallelism to the usages of the mb_cache and mb_cache_entries and impacts
all ext filesystems.

The second part of the patch further increases the scalablity of an ext4
filesystem by having each ext4 fielsystem allocate and use its own private
mbcache structure, instead of sharing a single mcache structures across all
ext4 filesystems

Here are some of the benchmark results with the changes. 

On a 90 core machine:

Here are the performance improvements in some of the aim7 workloads,

---------------------------

--------------------------------------------
| % improvement |   5.99   |     N/A       |
--------------------------------------------


On an 80 core machine:

The aim7's results for most of the workloads turn out to the same.

Here are the results of Swingbench dss workload,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Users        | 100  | 200  | 300  | 400  | 500  | 600  | 700  | 800  | 900  |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The changes have been tested with ext4 xfstests to verify that no regression
has been introduced. 

Changed in v2:
	- New performance data
	- New diff summary
