From 4ac845a2e9a816ed5a7b301f56dcc0a3d0b1ba4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:44:49 +0100 Subject: block: cfq: make the io contect sharing lockless The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private. The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation (when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that process has done IO). As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree.
