Multi-threaded buffered reads to the same file exposed significant
inode spinlock contention in nfs_clear_invalid_mapping().
Eliminate this spinlock contention by checking flags without locking,
instead using smp_rmb and smp_load_acquire accordingly, but then take
spinlock and double-check these inode flags.
Also refactor nfs_set_cache_invalid() slightly to use
smp_store_release() to pair with nfs_clear_invalid_mapping()'s
smp_load_acquire().
While this fix is beneficial for all multi-threaded buffered reads
issued by an NFS client, this issue was identified in the context of
surprisingly low LOCALIO performance with 4K multi-threaded buffered
read IO. This fix dramatically speeds up LOCALIO performance:
before: read: IOPS=1583k, BW=6182MiB/s (6482MB/s)(121GiB/20002msec)
after: read: IOPS=3046k, BW=11.6GiB/s (12.5GB/s)(232GiB/20001msec)

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 reStructuredText 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.
