Both bufio and bio-prison-v1 use the identical model for splitting their respective locks and rbtrees. Improve dm_num_hash_locks() to distribute across more rbtrees to improve overall performance -- but the maximum number of locks/rbtrees is still 64. Also factor out a common hash function named dm_hash_locks_index(), the magic numbers used were determined to be best using this program: https://gist.github.com/jthornber/e05c47daa7b500c56dc339269c5467fc Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.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.
