I found one that I had missed before - in locks_remove_flock() The change makes this code smaller! Original series description: If you have a many-core machine, and have many threads all wanting to briefly lock a give file (udev is known to do this), you can get quite poor performance. When one thread releases a lock, it wakes up all other threads that are waiting (classic thundering-herd) - one will get the lock and the others go to sleep. When you have few cores, this is not very noticeable: by the time the 4th or 5th thread gets enough CPU time to try to claim the lock, the earlier threads have claimed it, done what was needed, and released. With 50+ cores, the contention can easily be measured. This patchset creates a tree of pending lock request in which siblings don't conflict and each lock request does conflict with its parent. When a lock is released, only requests which don't conflict with each other a woken. Testing shows that lock-acquisitions-per-second is now fairly stable even as number of contending process goes to 1000. Without this patch, locks-per-second drops off steeply after a few 10s of processes. There is a small cost to this extra complexity. At 20 processes running a particular test on 72 cores, the lock acquisitions per second drops from 1.8 million to 1.4 million with this patch. For 100 processes, this patch still provides 1.4 million while without this patch there are about 700,000. NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (12): fs/locks: rename some lists and pointers. fs/locks: split out __locks_wake_up_blocks(). NFS: use locks_copy_lock() to copy locks. gfs2: properly initial file_lock used for unlock. ocfs2: properly initial file_lock used for unlock. locks: use properly initialized file_lock when unlocking. fs/locks: allow a lock request to block other requests. fs/locks: always delete_block after waiting. fs/locks: change all *_conflict() functions to return bool. fs/locks: create a tree of dependent requests. locks: merge posix_unblock_lock() and locks_delete_block() VFS: locks: remove unnecessary white space. fs/cifs/file.c | 4 - fs/gfs2/file.c | 10 +- fs/lockd/svclock.c | 2 fs/locks.c | 253 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------ fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 6 + fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c | 6 - fs/ocfs2/locks.c | 10 +- include/linux/fs.h | 11 +- include/trace/events/filelock.h | 16 +- 9 files changed, 173 insertions(+), 145 deletions(-) -- Signature
