[v9,00/12] fs: multigrain timestamp redux

Message

Jeff Layton Oct. 2, 2024, 6:49 p.m. UTC

This is a replacement for the v6 series sitting in Christian's
vfs.mgtime branch. The main changes here are to the changelogs,
documentation and comments. The code itself is largely unchanged.

The pipe1_threads test shows these averages on my test rig with this
series:

    v6.11:				89233600 (baseline)
    v6.11 + v9 series:			88460897 (<1% slower)

Acked-by's and Reviewed-by's would be welcome (particularly from the
timekeeper folks).

Changes in v9:
- Comment and documentation cleanups.
- Drop the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() from new timekeeper interfaces
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v8:
- split patch that adds percpu counters into fs and timekeeping patches
- convert percpu counters to unsigned longs
- directly access the offs_real value in timekeeper instead of going
  through offsets array
- drop WARN_ON's in timekeeping patches
- better changelogs and more comments for the timekeeping bits
- better document how backward realtime clock jumps affect things
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v7:
- move the floor value handling into timekeeper for better performance
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v6:
- Normalize timespec64 in inode_set_ctime_to_ts
- use DEFINE_PER_CPU counters for better vfs consistency
- skip ctime cmpxchg if the result means nothing will change
- add trace_ctime_xchg_skip to track skipped ctime updates
- use __print_flags in ctime_ns_xchg tracepoint
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v5:
- refetch coarse time in coarse_ctime if not returning floor
- timestamp_truncate before swapping new ctime value into place
- track floor value as atomic64_t
- cleanups to Documentation file
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v4:
- reordered tracepoint fields for better packing
- rework percpu counters again to also count fine grained timestamps
- switch to try_cmpxchg for better efficiency
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Drop the conversion of i_ctime fields to ktime_t, and use an unused bit
  of the i_ctime_nsec field as QUERIED flag.
- Better tracepoints for tracking floor and ctime updates
- Reworked percpu counters to be more useful
- Track floor as monotonic value, which eliminates clock-jump problem

Changes in v2:
- Added Documentation file
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]
