From 59d13bf5f57ded658c872fa22276f75ab8f12841 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 13:41:15 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: use sparser tag layout for lower queue depth For best performance, spreading tags over multiple cachelines makes the tagging more efficient on multicore systems. But since we have 8 * sizeof(unsigned long) tags per cacheline, we don't always get a nice spread. Attempt to spread the tags over at least 4 cachelines, using fewer number of bits per unsigned long if we have to. This improves tagging performance in setups with 32-128 tags. For higher depths, the spread is the same as before (BITS_PER_LONG tags per cacheline). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-format-patch failed
