Btrfs: Add ordered async work queues Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive operations such as checksumming and decompression. These work well, but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact. A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel. Once the checksum is computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to the disk in almost any order. The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all the bios for a single inode. This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue. As work structs are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list. They have three callbacks: ->func (cpu intensive processing here) ->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here) ->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done) The work struct has three callbacks. The func callback does the cpu intensive work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done. Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head is marked as done. If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do any cleanup. Then we loop back and check the head of the list again. This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues. One a 4 drive array, it increases streaming writes from 280MB/s to 350MB/s.

They have three callbacks: ->func (cpu intensive processing here) ->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here) ->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done) The work struct has three callbacks. The func callback does the cpu intensive work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done. Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head is marked as done. If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do any cleanup. Then we loop back and check the head of the list again. This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues. One a 4 drive array, it increases streaming writes from 280MB/s to 350MB/s.

Btrfs: Add ordered async work queues Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive operations such as checksumming and decompression. These work well, but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact. A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel. Once the checksum is computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to the disk in almost any order. The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all the bios for a single inode. This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue. As work structs are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list.
