Modifying the file position is done on a per-file basis. This renders
holding the inode lock for writing useless and makes the performance of
concurrent llseek's abysmal.
Fix this by holding the inode for read. This provides protection against
concurrent truncates and find_desired_extent already includes proper
extent locking for the range which ensures proper locking against
concurrent writes. SEEK_CUR and SEEK_END can be done lockessly.
The former is synchronized by file::f_lock spinlock. SEEK_END is not
synchronized but atomic, but that's OK since there is not guarantee that
SEEK_END will always be at the end of the file in the face of tail
modifications.
This change brings ~82% performance improvement when doing a lot of
parallel fseeks. The workload essentially does:
for (d=0; d<num_seek_read; d++)
{
/* offset %= 16777216; */
fseek (f, 256 * d % 16777216, SEEK_SET);
fread (buffer, 64, 1, f);
}
Without patch:
num workprocesses = 16
num fseek/fread = 8000000
step = 256
fork 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
