    block/rnbd: Remove all likely and unlikely · 1e31016b
    Gioh Kim authored
    The IO performance test with fio after removing the likely and
    unlikely macros in all if-statement shows no performance drop.
    They do not help for the performance of rnbd.
    
    The fio test did random read on 32 rnbd devices and 64 processes.
    Test environment:
    - AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6386 SE
    - 125G memory
    - kernel version: 5.4.86
    - gcc version: gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0
    - Infiniband controller: InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT26428
    [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 5GT/s - IB QDR / 10GigE] (rev b0)
    
    before
    read: IOPS=549k, BW=2146MiB/s
    read: IOPS=544k, BW=2125MiB/s
    read: IOPS=553k, BW=2158MiB/s
    read: IOPS=535k, BW=2089MiB/s
    read: IOPS=543k, BW=2122MiB/s
    read: IOPS=552k, BW=2154MiB/s
    average: IOPS=546k, BW=2132MiB/s
    
    after
    read: IOPS=556k, BW=2172MiB/s
    read: IOPS=561k, BW=2191MiB/s
    read: IOPS=552k, BW=2156MiB/s
    read: IOPS=551k, BW=2154MiB/s
    read: IOPS=562k, BW=2194MiB/s
    -----------
    average: IOPS=556k, BW=2173MiB/s
    
    The IOPS and bandwidth got better slightly after removing
    likely/unlikely. (IOPS= +1.8% BW= +1.9%) But we cannot make sure
    that removing the likely/unlikely help the performance because it
    depends on various situations. We only make sure that removing the
    likely/unlikely does not drop the performance.
