[XFS] streamline init/exit path

2008-07-28T06:59:25Z

Currently the xfs module init/exit code is a mess. It's farmed out over a lot of function with very little error checking. This patch makes sure we propagate all initialization failures properly and clean up after them. Various runtime initializations are replaced with compile-time initializations where possible to make this easier. The exit path is similarly consolidated. There's now split out function to create/destroy the kmem zones and alloc/free the trace buffers. I've also changed the ktrace allocations to KM_MAYFAIL and handled errors resulting from that. And yes, we really should replace the XFS_*_TRACE ifdefs with a single XFS_TRACE..

[XFS] Remove unused arg from kmem_free()

2008-07-28T06:58:07Z

kmem_free() function takes (ptr, size) arguments but doesn't actually use second one. This patch removes size argument from all callsites. SGI-PV: 981498 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:31050a Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko Signed-off-by: David Chinner Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy

[XFS] Use power-of-2 sized buffers to reduce overhead

2008-04-18T01:40:04Z

Now that the ktrace_enter() code is using atomics, the non-power-of-2 buffer sizes - which require modulus operations to get the index - are showing up as using substantial CPU in the profiles. Force the buffer sizes to be rounded up to the nearest power of two and use masking rather than modulus operations to convert the index counter to the buffer index. This reduces ktrace_enter overhead to 8% of a CPU time, and again almost halves the trace intensive test runtime.

[XFS] Use atomic counters for ktrace buffer indexes

2008-04-18T01:39:55Z

ktrace_enter() is consuming vast amounts of CPU time due to the use of a single global lock for protecting buffer index increments. Change it to use per-buffer atomic counters - this reduces ktrace_enter() overhead during a trace intensive test on a 4p machine from 58% of all CPU time to 12% and halves test runtime.
