commit 373ac521799d9e97061515aca6ec6621789036bb upstream.
journal_clean_one_cp_list() has been merged into
journal_shrink_one_cp_list(), but do chekpoint buffer cleanup from the
committing process is just a best effort, it should stop scan once it
meet a busy buffer, or else it will cause a lot of invalid buffer scan
and checks. We catch a performance regression when doing fs_mark tests
below.
Test cmd:
./fs_mark -d scratch -s 1024 -n 10000 -t 1 -D 100 -N 100
Before merging checkpoint buffer cleanup:
FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead
95 10000 1024 8304.9 49033
After merging checkpoint buffer cleanup:
FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead
95 10000 1024 7649.0 50012
FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead
95 10000 1024 2107.1 50871
After merging checkpoint buffer cleanup, the total loop count in
journal_shrink_one_cp_list() could be up to 6,261,600+ (50,000+ ~
100,000+ in general), most of them are invalid. This patch fix it
through passing 'shrink_type' into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and add
a new 'SHRINK_BUSY_STOP' to indicate it should stop once meet a busy
buffer. After fix, the loop count descending back to 10,000+.
After this fix:
FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead

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.
