While true, the overhead of the page_waitqueue lookups and unnecessary
wakeups sucks even on small machines. Not only does it hit us during simple
operations like dd to a file but we would hit it during page reclaim as
well which is trylock_page/unlock_page intensive

Rather than putting details in the changelog, here is an updated version
that hopefully improves the commentary to the point where it's actually
clear.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: filemap: Avoid unnecessary barriers and waitqueue lookups in unlock_page fastpath v6
Changelog since v5
o __always_inline where appropriate (peterz)
o Documentation (akpm)
Changelog since v4
o Remove dependency on io_schedule_timeout
o Push waiting logic down into waitqueue
This patch introduces a new page flag for 64-bit capable machines,
PG_waiters, to signal there are processes waiting on PG_lock or PG_writeback
and uses it to avoid memory barriers and waitqueue hash lookup in the
unlock_page fastpath.
This adds a few branches to the fast path but avoids bouncing a dirty
cache line between CPUs. 32-bit machines always take the slow path but the
primary motivation for this patch is large machines so I do not think that
is a concern.
The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of
the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or
NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only
wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running. The
kernels being compared are "accessed-v2" which is the patch series up
to this patch where as lockpage-v2 includes this patch.

ext3 1660 0.0165 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc5-lockpage-v5 page_waitqueue
The profiles show a clear reduction in waitqueue and wakeup functions. Note
that end_page_writeback costs the same as the savings there are due
to reduced calls to __wake_up_bit and page_waitqueue so there is no
obvious direct savings. The cost of unlock_page is higher as it's checking
PageWaiters but it is offset by reduced numbers of calls to page_waitqueue
and _wake_up_bit. There is a similar story told for each of the filesystems.
Note that for workloads that contend heavily on the page lock that
unlock_page may increase in cost as it has to clear PG_waiters so while
the typical case should be much faster, the worst case costs are now higher.
This is also reflected in the time taken to mmap a range of pages.
These are the results for xfs only but the other filesystems tell a
similar story.
