From 11a3122f6cf2d988a77eb8883d0fc49cd013a6d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 07:51:30 +0100 Subject: block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context() put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.

If PAGE_SIZE ever was less than 512 a great many things would break, so dividing by PAGE_SIZE >> 9 is safe and will generate smaller code too. The nastier overflow was in the DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's what the code was effectively doing, anyways). If n + d overflowed, the whole thing would return 0 which breaks things rather effectively. bio_get_nr_vecs() doesn't claim to give an exact value anyways, so the DIV_ROUND_UP() is silly; we could do a straight divide except if a device's queue_max_sectors was less than PAGE_SIZE we'd return 0. So we just add 1; this should always be safe - things will break badly if bio_get_nr_vecs() returns > BIO_MAX_PAGES (bio_alloc() will suddenly start failing) but it's queue_max_segments that must guard against this, if queue_max_sectors is preventing this from happen things are going to explode on architectures with different PAGE_SIZE.
