From 0d91778e75756467b37060d528873df70943a8b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:24:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: buffered write cleanup Quite a bit of code is used in maintaining these "cached pages" that are probably pretty unlikely to get used. It would require a narrow race where the page is inserted concurrently while this process is allocating a page in order to create the spare page. Then a multi-page write into an uncached part of the file, to make use of it. Next, the buffered write path (and others) uses its own LRU pagevec when it should be just using the per-CPU LRU pagevec (which will cut down on both data and code size cacheline footprint). Also, these private LRU pagevecs are emptied after just a very short time, in contrast with the per-CPU pagevecs that are persistent. Net result: 7.3 times fewer lru_lock acquisitions required to add the pages to pagecache for a bulk write (in 4K chunks). [this gets rid of some cond_resched() calls in readahead.c and mpage.c due to clashes in -mm. What put them there, and why? ] Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/mpage.c | 10 +--- mm/filemap.c | 143 +++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ mm/readahead.c | 24 +++------ 3 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 112 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/mpage.c b/fs/mpage.c index b1c3e58905086..d54f8f8972242 100644 --- a/fs/mpage.c +++ b/fs/mpage.c @@ -379,31 +379,25 @@ mpage_readpages(struct address_space *mapping, struct list_head *pages, struct bio *bio = NULL; unsigned page_idx; sector_t last_block_in_bio = 0; - struct pagevec lru_pvec; struct buffer_head map_bh; unsigned long first_logical_block = 0; clear_buffer_mapped(&map_bh); - pagevec_init(&lru_pvec, 0); for (page_idx = 0; page_idx < nr_pages; page_idx++) { struct page *page = list_entry(pages->prev, struct page, lru); prefetchw(&page->flags); list_del(&page->lru); - if (!add_to_page_cache(page, mapping, + if (!add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, page->index, GFP_KERNEL)) { bio = do_mpage_readpage(bio, page, nr_pages - page_idx, &last_block_in_bio, &map_bh, &first_logical_block, get_block); - if (!pagevec_add(&lru_pvec, page)) - __pagevec_lru_add(&lru_pvec); - } else { - page_cache_release(page); } + page_cache_release(page); } - pagevec_lru_add(&lru_pvec); BUG_ON(!list_empty(pages)); if (bio) mpage_bio_submit(READ, bio); diff --git a/mm/filemap.c b/mm/filemap.c index 73b98c6a3389b..fb4c1c0792e71 100644 --- a/mm/filemap.c +++ b/mm/filemap.c @@ -666,27 +666,22 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(find_lock_page); struct page *find_or_create_page(struct address_space *mapping, pgoff_t index, gfp_t gfp_mask) { - struct page *page, *cached_page = NULL; + struct page *page; int err; repeat: page = find_lock_page(mapping, index); if (!page) { - if (!cached_page) { - cached_page = - __page_cache_alloc(gfp_mask); - if (!cached_page) - return NULL; + page = __page_cache_alloc(gfp_mask); + if (!page) + return NULL; + err = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index, gfp_mask); + if (unlikely(err)) { + page_cache_release(page); + page = NULL; + if (err == -EEXIST) + goto repeat; } - err = add_to_page_cache_lru(cached_page, mapping, - index, gfp_mask); - if (!err) { - page = cached_page; - cached_page = NULL; - } else if (err == -EEXIST) - goto repeat; } - if (cached_page) - page_cache_release(cached_page); return page; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(find_or_create_page); @@ -872,10 +867,8 @@ void do_generic_mapping_read(struct address_space *mapping, pgoff_t prev_index; unsigned long offset; /* offset into pagecache page */ unsigned int prev_offset; - struct page *cached_page; int error; - cached_page = NULL; index = *ppos >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; prev_index = ra->prev_pos >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; prev_offset = ra->prev_pos & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-1); @@ -1031,23 +1024,20 @@ no_cached_page: * Ok, it wasn't cached, so we need to create a new * page.. */ - if (!cached_page) { - cached_page = page_cache_alloc_cold(mapping); - if (!cached_page) { - desc->error = -ENOMEM; - goto out; - } + page = page_cache_alloc_cold(mapping); + if (!page) { + desc->error = -ENOMEM; + goto out; } - error = add_to_page_cache_lru(cached_page, mapping, + error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index, GFP_KERNEL); if (error) { + page_cache_release(page); if (error == -EEXIST) goto find_page; desc->error = error; goto out; } - page = cached_page; - cached_page = NULL; goto readpage; } @@ -1057,8 +1047,6 @@ out: ra->prev_pos |= prev_offset; *ppos = ((loff_t)index << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT) + offset; - if (cached_page) - page_cache_release(cached_page); if (filp) file_accessed(filp); } @@ -1502,35 +1490,28 @@ static struct page *__read_cache_page(struct address_space *mapping, int (*filler)(void *,struct page*), void *data) { - struct page *page, *cached_page = NULL; + struct page *page; int err; repeat: page = find_get_page(mapping, index); if (!page) { - if (!cached_page) { - cached_page = page_cache_alloc_cold(mapping); - if (!cached_page) - return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); - } - err = add_to_page_cache_lru(cached_page, mapping, - index, GFP_KERNEL); - if (err == -EEXIST) - goto repeat; - if (err < 0) { + page = page_cache_alloc_cold(mapping); + if (!page) + return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); + err = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index, GFP_KERNEL); + if (unlikely(err)) { + page_cache_release(page); + if (err == -EEXIST) + goto repeat; /* Presumably ENOMEM for radix tree node */ - page_cache_release(cached_page); return ERR_PTR(err); } - page = cached_page; - cached_page = NULL; err = filler(data, page); if (err < 0) { page_cache_release(page); page = ERR_PTR(err); } } - if (cached_page) - page_cache_release(cached_page); return page; } @@ -1606,40 +1587,6 @@ struct page *read_cache_page(struct address_space *mapping, } EXPORT_SYMBOL(read_cache_page); -/* - * If the page was newly created, increment its refcount and add it to the - * caller's lru-buffering pagevec.
