xfs: convert CIL to unordered per cpu lists
So that we can remove the cil_lock which is a global serialisation point. We've already got ordering sorted, so all we need to do is treat the CIL list like the busy extent list and reconstruct it before the push starts. This is what we're trying to avoid: - 75.35% 1.83% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil - 46.35% xfs_log_commit_cil - 41.54% _raw_spin_lock - 67.30% do_raw_spin_lock 66.96% __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath Which happens on a 32p system when running a 32-way 'rm -rf' workload. After this patch: - 20.90% 3.23% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil - 17.67% xfs_log_commit_cil - 6.51% xfs_log_ticket_ungrant 1.40% xfs_log_space_wake 2.32% memcpy_erms - 2.18% xfs_buf_item_committing - 2.12% xfs_buf_item_release - 1.03% xfs_buf_unlock 0.96% up 0.72% xfs_buf_rele 1.33% xfs_inode_item_format 1.19% down_read 0.91% up_read 0.76% xfs_buf_item_format - 0.68% kmem_alloc_large - 0.67% kmem_alloc 0.64% __kmalloc 0.50% xfs_buf_item_size It kinda looks like the workload is running out of log space all the time. But all the spinlock contention is gone and the transaction commit rate has gone from 800k/s to 1.3M/s so the amount of real work being done has gone up a *lot*.
