From ab8362645fba90fa44ec1991ad05544e307dd02f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:01:58 -0700 Subject: SUNRPC: set rq_page_end differently Patch series "SUNRPC consumer for the bulk page allocator" This patch set and the measurements below are based on yesterday's bulk allocator series: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux.git mm-bulk-rebase-v5r9 The patches change SUNRPC to invoke the array-based bulk allocator instead of alloc_page(). The micro-benchmark results are promising. I ran a mixture of 256KB reads and writes over NFSv3. The server's kernel is built with KASAN enabled, so the comparison is exaggerated but I believe it is still valid. I instrumented svc_recv() to measure the latency of each call to svc_alloc_arg() and report it via a trace point. The following results are averages across the trace events. Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls This patch (of 2) Refactor: I'm about to use the loop variable @i for something else. As far as the "i++" is concerned, that is a post-increment. The value of @i is not used subsequently, so the increment operator is unnecessary and can be removed. Also note that nfsd_read_actor() was renamed nfsd_splice_actor() by commit cf8208d0eabd ("sendfile: convert nfsd to splice_direct_to_actor()").
