![]() 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

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()

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 Restructured Text 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.
