We process the buf_log_item bitmap one set bit at a time with xfs_next_bit() so we can detect if a region crosses a memcpy discontinuity in the buffer data address. This has massive overhead on large buffers (e.g. 64k directory blocks) because we do a lot of unnecessary checks and xfs_buf_offset() calls. For example, 16-way concurrent create workload on debug kernel running CPU bound has this at the top of the profile at ~120k create/s on 64kb directory block size: 20.66% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int 7.10% [kernel] [k] memcpy 6.22% [kernel] [k] xfs_next_bit 3.55% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_offset 3.53% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_item_format 3.34% [kernel] [k] __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath 3.04% [kernel] [k] do_raw_spin_lock 2.84% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_item_size_segment.isra.0 2.31% [kernel] [k] __raw_callee_save___pv_queued_spin_unlock 1.36% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil (debug checks hurt large blocks) The only buffers with discontinuities in the data address are unmapped buffers, and they are only used for inode cluster buffers and only for logging unlinked pointers. IOWs, it is -rare- that we even need to detect a discontinuity in the buffer item formatting code. Optimise all this by using xfs_contig_bits() to find the size of the contiguous regions, then test for a discontiunity inside it. If we find one, do the slow "bit at a time" method we do now. If we don't, then just copy the entire contiguous range in one go. Profile now looks like: 25.26% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int 9.25% [kernel] [k] memcpy 5.01% [kernel] [k] __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath 2.84% [kernel] [k] do_raw_spin_lock 2.22% [kernel] [k] __raw_callee_save___pv_queued_spin_unlock 1.88% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_find 1.53% [kernel] [k] memmove 1.47% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil .... 0.34% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_item_format .... 0.21% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_offset .... 0.16% [kernel] [k] xfs_contig_bits .... 0.13% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_item_size_segment.isra.0 So the bit scanning over for the dirty region tracking for the buffer log items is basically gone. Debug overhead hurts even more now...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
