From f991bd2e14210fb93d722cb23e54991de20e8a3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2010 11:18:01 -0400 Subject: fs: introduce a per-cpu last_ino allocator new_inode() dirties a contended cache line to get increasing inode numbers. This limits performance on workloads that cause significant parallel inode allocation. Solve this problem by using a per_cpu variable fed by the shared last_ino in batches of 1024 allocations. This reduces contention on the shared last_ino, and give same spreading ino numbers than before (i.e. same wraparound after 2^32 allocations).
