The IO performance test with fio after swapping the likely and unlikely macros in all if-statement shows no difference. They do not help for the performance of rtrs. Thanks to Haakon Bugge for the test scenario. The fio test did random read on 32 rnbd devices and 64 processes. Test environment: - Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6130 CPU @ 2.10GHz - 376G memory - kernel version: 5.4.86 - gcc version: gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0 - Infiniband controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5] Test result: - before swapping: IOPS=829k, BW=3239MiB/s - after swapping: IOPS=829k, BW=3238MiB/s - remove all (un)likely: IOPS=829k, BW=3238MiB/s Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210806112112.124313-5-haris.iqbal@ionos.com Signed-off-by: Gioh Kim <gi-oh.kim@ionos.com> Signed-off-by: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@ionos.com> Reviewed-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Md Haris Iqbal <haris.iqbal@ionos.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com>
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.
