ext4: make ext4_has_inline_data() as a inline function
Now ext4_has_inline_data() is used in wide spread codepaths. So we need to make it as a inline function to avoid burning some CPU cycles. Change in text size: text data bss dec hex filename before: 326110 19258 5528 350896 55ab0 fs/ext4/ext4.o after: 326227 19258 5528 351013 55b25 fs/ext4/ext4.o I use the following script to measure the CPU usage. #!/bin/bash shm_base='/dev/shm' img=${shm_base}/ext4-img mnt=/mnt/loop e2fsprgs_base=$HOME/e2fsprogs mkfs=${e2fsprgs_base}/misc/mke2fs fsck=${e2fsprgs_base}/e2fsck/e2fsck sudo umount $mnt dd if=/dev/zero of=$img bs=4k count=3145728 ${mkfs} -t ext4 -O inline_data -F $img sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop $img $mnt # start testing... testdir="${mnt}/testdir" mkdir $testdir cd $testdir echo "start testing..." for ((cnt=0;cnt<100;cnt++)); do for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do for ((j=0;j<5;j++)); do for ((k=0;k<5;k++)); do for ((l=0;l<5;l++)); do mkdir -p $i/$j/$k/$l echo "$i-$j-$k-$l" > $i/$j/$k/$l/testfile done done done done ls -R $testdir > /dev/null rm -rf $testdir/* done The result of `perf top -G -U` is as below. vanilla: 13.92% [ext4] [k] ext4_do_update_inode 9.36% [ext4] [k] __ext4_get_inode_loc 4.07% [ext4] [k] ftrace_define_fields_ext4_writepages 3.83% [ext4] [k] __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata 3.42% [ext4] [k] ext4_get_inode_flags 2.71% [ext4] [k] ext4_mark_iloc_dirty 2.46% [ext4] [k] ftrace_define_fields_ext4_direct_IO_enter 2.26% [ext4] [k] ext4_get_inode_loc 2.22% [ext4] [k] ext4_has_inline_data [...] After applied the patch, we don't see ext4_has_inline_data() because it has been inlined and perf couldn't sample it. Although it doesn't mean that the CPU cycles can be saved but at least the overhead of function calls can be eliminated. So IMHO we'd better inline this function.
