From 209fb87a259ead17e966627b7f053d16a96898da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 21:17:11 +0000 Subject: xfs simplify and speed up direct I/O completions Our current handling of direct I/O completions is rather suboptimal, because we defer it to a workqueue more often than needed, and we perform a much to aggressive flush of the workqueue in case unwritten extent conversions happen. This patch changes the direct I/O reads to not even use a completion handler, as we don't bother to use it at all, and to perform the unwritten extent conversions in caller context for synchronous direct I/O. For a small I/O size direct I/O workload on a consumer grade SSD, such as the untar of a kernel tree inside qemu this patch gives speedups of about 5%. Getting us much closer to the speed of a native block device, or a fully allocated XFS file.
