In the dio write path, we only take shared inode lock for the case of aligned overwriting initialized blocks inside EOF. But for overwriting preallocated blocks, it may only need to split unwritten extents, this procedure has been protected under i_data_sem lock, it's safe to release the exclusive inode lock and take shared inode lock. This could give a significant speed up for multi-threaded writes. Test on Intel Xeon Gold 6140 and nvme SSD with below fio parameters. direct=1 ioengine=libaio iodepth=10 numjobs=10 runtime=60 rw=randwrite size=100G And the test result are: Before: bs=4k IOPS=11.1k, BW=43.2MiB/s bs=16k IOPS=11.1k, BW=173MiB/s bs=64k IOPS=11.2k, BW=697MiB/s After: bs=4k IOPS=41.4k, BW=162MiB/s bs=16k IOPS=41.3k, BW=646MiB/s bs=64k IOPS=13.5k, BW=843MiB/s Signed-off-by: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221226062015.3479416-1-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
