Processes like ld that do lots of small writes that aren't necessarily
contiguous result in a lot of small StoreData operations to the server, the
idea being that if someone else changes the data on the server, we only
write our changes over that and not the space between. Further, we don't
want to write back empty space if we can avoid it to make it easier for the
server to do sparse files.
However, making lots of tiny RPC ops is a lot less efficient for the server
than one big one because each op requires allocation of resources and the
taking of locks, so we want to compromise a bit.
Reduce the load by the following:
(1) If a file is just created locally or has just been truncated with
O_TRUNC locally, allow subsequent writes to the file to be merged with
intervening space if that space doesn't cross an entire intervening
page.
(2) Don't flush the file on ->flush() but rather on ->release() if the
file was open for writing.
Just linking vmlinux.o, without this patch, looking in /proc/fs/afs/stats:
file-wr : n=441 nb=513581204
and after the patch:
file-wr : n=62 nb=513668555
there were 379 fewer StoreData RPC operations at the expense of an extra
87K being written.
