Hi,
This patch allows the block allocation code to retain the buffers
for the resource groups so they don't need to be re-read from buffer
cache with every request. This is a performance improvement that's
especially noticeable when resource groups are very large. For
example, with 2GB resource groups and 4K blocks, there can be 33
blocks for every resource group. This patch allows those 33 buffers
to be kept around and not read in and thrown away with every
operation. The buffers are released when the resource group is
either synced or invalidated.
The blocks should be cached between operations, so this should only be
resulting in a skip of the look up of the cached block, and no changes
to the actual I/O. Does that mean that grab_cache_page() is slow I
wonder? Or is this an issue of going around the retry loop due to lack
of memory at some stage?
How does this interact with the rgrplvb support? I'd guess that with
that turned on, this is no longer an issue, because we'd only read in
the blocks for the rgrps that we are actually going to use?
Steve.
