fs: use fast counters for vfs caches
percpu_counter library generates quite nasty code, so unless you need to dynamically allocate counters or take fast approximate value, a simple per cpu set of counters is much better. The percpu_counter can never be made to work as well, because it has an indirection from pointer to percpu memory, and it can't use direct this_cpu_inc interfaces because it doesn't use static PER_CPU data, so code will always be worse. In the fastpath, it is the difference between this: incl %gs:nr_dentry # nr_dentry and this: movl percpu_counter_batch(%rip), %edx # percpu_counter_batch, movl $1, %esi #, movq $nr_dentry, %rdi #, call __percpu_counter_add # (plus I clobber registers) __percpu_counter_add: pushq %rbp # movq %rsp, %rbp #, subq $32, %rsp #, movq %rbx, -24(%rbp) #, movq %r12, -16(%rbp) #, movq %r13, -8(%rbp) #, movq %rdi, %rbx # fbc, fbc #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP incl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq 32(%rdi), %r12 # <variable>.counters, tcp_ptr__ #APP # 78 "lib/percpu_counter.c" 1 add %gs:this_cpu_off, %r12 # this_cpu_off, tcp_ptr__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP movslq (%r12),%r13 #* tcp_ptr__, tmp73 movslq %edx,%rax # batch, batch addq %rsi, %r13 # amount, count cmpq %rax, %r13 # batch, count jge .L27 #, negl %edx # tmp76 movslq %edx,%rdx # tmp76, tmp77 cmpq %rdx, %r13 # tmp77, count jg .L28 #, .L27: movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, call _raw_spin_lock # addq %r13, 8(%rbx) # count, <variable>.count movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, movl $0, (%r12) #,* tcp_ptr__ call _raw_spin_unlock # .L29: #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP decl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq -8136(%rax), %rax #, D.14625 testb $8, %al #, D.14625 jne .L32 #, .L31: movq -24(%rbp), %rbx #, movq -16(%rbp), %r12 #, movq -8(%rbp), %r13 #, leave ret .p2align 4,,10 .p2align 3 .L28: movl %r13d, (%r12) # count,* jmp .L29 # .L32: call preempt_schedule # .p2align 4,,6 jmp .L31 # .size __percpu_counter_add, .-__percpu_counter_add .p2align 4,,15 Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
