Subject: [PATCH 0/2] percpu_ref & block: reduce memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2020 18:12:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200825101248.8027-1-ming.lei@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi,

The 1st patch removes memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path
from 7 words to 2 words, since it is often used in fast path and
embedded in user struct.

The 2nd patch moves .q_usage_counter to 1st cacheline of
'request_queue'.

Simple test on null_blk shows ~2% IOPS boost on one 16cores(two threads
per core) machine, dual socket/numa.


Ming Lei (2):
  percpu_ref: reduce memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path
  block: move 'q_usage_counter' into front of 'request_queue'
