Because this happens at high thread counts on high IOPS devices doing mixed read/write AIO-DIO to a single file at about a million iops: 64.09% 0.21% [kernel] [k] io_submit_one - 63.87% io_submit_one - 44.33% aio_write - 42.70% xfs_file_write_iter - 41.32% xfs_file_dio_write_aligned - 25.51% xfs_file_write_checks - 21.60% _raw_spin_lock - 21.59% do_raw_spin_lock - 19.70% __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath This also happens of the IO completion IO path: 22.89% 0.69% [kernel] [k] xfs_dio_write_end_io - 22.49% xfs_dio_write_end_io - 21.79% _raw_spin_lock - 20.97% do_raw_spin_lock - 20.10% __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath IOWs, fio is burning ~14 whole CPUs on this spin lock. So, do an unlocked check against inode size first, then if we are at/beyond EOF, take the spinlock and recheck. This makes the spinlock disappear from the overwrite fastpath. I'd like to report that fixing this makes things go faster. It doesn't - it just exposes the the XFS_ILOCK as the next severe contention point doing extent mapping lookups, and that now burns all the 14 CPUs this spinlock was burning.
