Subject: [PATCH] ext4: re-inline ext4_rec_len_(to|from)_disk functions
commit 3d0518f4, "ext4: New rec_len encoding for very
large blocksizes" made several changes to this path, but from
a perf perspective, un-inlining ext4_rec_len_from_disk() seems
most significant. This function is called from ext4_check_dir_entry(),
which on a file-creation workload is called extremely often.
I tested this with bonnie:
# bonnie++ -u root -s 0 -f -x 200 -d /mnt/test -n 32
(this does 200 iterations) and got this for the file creations:
ext4 stock: Average = 21206.8 files/s
ext4 inlined: Average = 22346.7 files/s (+5%)
We may get a little more by optimizing around the extra complexity
for > 64K blocks, but for now simply inlining is a nice improvement,
without a huge change in code size:
