Even though the length of the critical section when adding / removing
orphaned inodes was significantly reduced by using orphan file, the
contention of lock protecting orphan file still appears high in profiles
for truncate / unlink intensive workloads with high number of threads.
This patch makes handling of orphan file completely lockless. Also to
reduce conflicts between CPUs different CPUs start searching for empty
slot in orphan file in different blocks.
Performance comparison of locked orphan file handling, lockless orphan
file handling, and completely disabled orphan inode handling
from 80 CPU Xeon Server with 526 GB of RAM, filesystem located on
SAS SSD disk, average of 5 runs:
stress-orphan (microbenchmark truncating files byte-by-byte from N
processes in parallel)
Threads Time Time Time
Orphan locked Orphan lockless No orphan
1 0.945600 0.939400 0.891200
2 1.331800 1.246600 1.174400
4 1.995000 1.780600 1.713200
8 6.424200 4.900000 4.106000
16 14.937600 8.516400 8.138000
32 33.038200 24.565600 24.002200
64 60.823600 39.844600 38.440200
128 122.941400 70.950400 69.315000
So we can see that with lockless orphan file handling, addition /
deletion of orphaned inodes got almost completely out of picture even
for a microbenchmark stressing it.

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.
