GFS2: Speed up gfs2_rbm_from_block
This patch is a rewrite of function gfs2_rbm_from_block. Rather than looping to find the right bitmap, the code now does a few simple math calculations. I compared the performance of both algorithms side by side and the new algorithm is noticeably faster. Sample instrumentation output from a "fast" machine: 5 million calls: millisec spent: Orig: 166 New: 113 5 million calls: millisec spent: Orig: 189 New: 114 In addition, I ran postmark (on a somewhat slowr CPU) before the after the new algorithm was put in place and postmark showed a decent improvement: Before the new algorithm: ------------------------- Time: 645 seconds total 584 seconds of transactions (171 per second) Files: 150087 created (232 per second) Creation alone: 100000 files (2083 per second) Mixed with transactions: 50087 files (85 per second) 49995 read (85 per second) 49991 appended (85 per second) 150087 deleted (232 per second) Deletion alone: 100174 files (7705 per second) Mixed with transactions: 49913 files (85 per second) Data: 273.42 megabytes read (434.08 kilobytes per second) 852.13 megabytes written (1.32 megabytes per second) With the new algorithm: ----------------------- Time: 599 seconds total 530 seconds of transactions (188 per second) Files: 150087 created (250 per second) Creation alone: 100000 files (1886 per second) Mixed with transactions: 50087 files (94 per second) 49995 read (94 per second) 49991 appended (94 per second) 150087 deleted (250 per second) Deletion alone: 100174 files (6260 per second) Mixed with transactions: 49913 files (94 per second) Data: 273.42 megabytes read (467.42 kilobytes per second) 852.13 megabytes written (1.42 megabytes per second) Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
