From: Joe Thornber Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:34:01 +0000 (+0100) Subject: dm thin: performance improvement to discard processing X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a7e97ca580b944d2c89b59bc74a7b9ddd044705;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git dm thin: performance improvement to discard processing When processing a discard bio, if the block is already quiesced do the discard immediately rather than adding the mapping to a list for the next iteration of the worker thread. Discarding a fully provisioned 100G thin volume with 64k block size goes from 860s to 95s with this change. Clearly there's something wrong with the worker architecture, more investigation needed.
