From 833f73299fdf4497af1552e219e95661f4d2cdca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Kleikamp Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 20:12:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] EXT2: Remove superblock lock contention in ext2_statfs Fix a performance degradation introduced in 2.6.17. (30% degradation running dbench with 16 threads) Commit 21730eed11de42f22afcbd43f450a1872a0b5ea1, which claims to make EXT2_DEBUG work again, moves the taking of the kernel lock out of debug-only code in ext2_count_free_inodes and ext2_count_free_blocks and into ext2_statfs. The same problem was fixed in ext3 by removing the lock completely (commit 5b11687924e40790deb0d5f959247ade82196665) Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/ext2/balloc.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/ext2/balloc.c') diff --git a/fs/ext2/balloc.c b/fs/ext2/balloc.c index d4870432ecf..b1981d0e95a 100644 --- a/fs/ext2/balloc.c +++ b/fs/ext2/balloc.c @@ -539,7 +539,6 @@ unsigned long ext2_count_free (struct buffer_head * map, unsigned int numchars) #endif /* EXT2FS_DEBUG */ -/* Superblock must be locked */ unsigned long ext2_count_free_blocks (struct super_block * sb) { struct ext2_group_desc * desc; -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
