xfs: pagecache usage optimization
Hi.
I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for XFS.
A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate,
some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.
This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.
"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read
after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance
improvement.
I did a performance test using the sysbench.
#sysbench --num-threads=4 --max-requests=100000 --test=fileio --file-num=1 \
--file-block-size=8K --file-total-size=1G --file-test-mode=rndrw \
--file-fsync-freq=0 --file-rw-ratio=0.5 run
