Original commit: d2859751cd0bf586941ffa7308635a293f943c17 Author: Nick Piggin Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:40:44 +1100 XFS's vmap batching simply defers a number (up to 64) of vunmaps, and keeps track of them in a list. To purge the batch, it just goes through the list and calls vunamp on each one. This is pretty poor: a global TLB flush is generally still performed on each vunmap, with the most expensive parts of the operation being the broadcast IPIs and locking involved in the SMP callouts, and the locking involved in the vmap management -- none of these are avoided by just batching up the calls. I'm actually surprised it ever made much difference. (Now that the lazy vmap allocator is upstream, this description is not quite right, but the vunmap batching still doesn't seem to do much). Rip all this logic out of XFS completely. I will improve vmap performance and scalability directly in subsequent patch.
