Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] ext4: Make cache hits/misses per-cpu counts
This patch changes the es_stats_cache_hits and es_stats_cache_misses
statistics counts to per-cpu variables to reduce cacheline contention
issues whem multiple threads are trying to update those counts
simultaneously. It uses the new per-cpu stats APIs provided by the
percpu_stats.h header file.
With a 38-threads fio I/O test with 2 shared files (on DAX-mount
NVDIMM) running on a 4-socket Haswell-EX server with 4.6-rc1 kernel,
the aggregated bandwidths before and after the patch were:
