[XFS] Use atomic counters for ktrace buffer indexes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
ktrace_enter() is consuming vast amounts of CPU time due to the use of a
single global lock for protecting buffer index increments. Change it to
use per-buffer atomic counters - this reduces ktrace_enter() overhead
during a trace intensive test on a 4p machine from 58% of all CPU time to
12% and halves test runtime.
