The kernel test robot reported the regression of fio.write_iops[1] with commit8cc621d2f4("mm: fs: invalidate BH LRU during page migration"). Since lru_add_drain is called frequently, invalidate bh_lrus there could increase bh_lrus cache miss ratio, which needs more IO in the end. This patch moves the bh_lrus invalidation from the hot path( e.g., zap_page_range, pagevec_release) to cold path(i.e., lru_add_drain_all, lru_cache_disable). Zhengjun Xing confirmed "I test the patch, the regression reduced to -2.9%" [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210520083144.GD14190@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/ [2]8cc621d2f4, mm: fs: invalidate BH LRU during page migration Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210907212347.1977686-1-minchan@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Chris Goldsworthy <cgoldswo@codeaurora.org> Tested-by: "Xing, Zhengjun" <zhengjun.xing@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
