Subject: [PATCH 04/53] VFS: use global wait-queue table for d_alloc_parallel()
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 08:11:51 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312214330.3885211-5-neilb@ownmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312214330.3885211-1-neilb@ownmail.net>
From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>
d_alloc_parallel() currently requires a wait_queue_head to be passed in.
This must have a life time which extends until the lookup is completed.
Future patches will make more use of d_alloc_parallel() and use it in
contexts where having an on-stack wait_queue_head is not convenient.
For exaple lookup_one_qstr_excl() can only use d_alloc_parallel() if it
accepts a wait_queue_head pass in by the caller.
The interface would be easier to use if this need were removed. Rather
than passing a wait_queue_head into lookup_one_qstr_excl() we can let
d_alloc_parallel() manage the wait_queue_head entirely itself.
This patch replaces the on-stack wqs with a global array of wqs which
are used as needed. A wq is NOT assigned when a dentry is first
created but only when a second thread attempts to use the same name and
so is forced to wait. At this moment a wq is chosen using a hash of the
dentry pointer and that wq is assigned to ->d_wait. The ->d_lock is
then dropped and the task waits.
When the dentry is finally moved out of "in_lookup" a wake up is only
sent if ->d_wait is not NULL. This avoids an (uncontended) spin
lock/unlock which saves a couple of atomic operations in a common case.
The wake up passes the dentry that the wake up is for as the "key" and
the waiter will only wake processes waiting on the same key. This means
that when these global waitqueues are shared (which is inevitable
though unlikely to be frequent), a task will not be woken prematurely.
