[PATCH v2 2/5] ceph: replace the request_tree rbtree with an xarray keyed by r_tid.

Xiubo Li via B4 Relay <[email protected]> Wed, 15 Jul 2026 11:58:42 +0800
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.ceph-devel,org.kernel.feeds.b4-sent,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <20260715-ceph-mdsc-mutex-optimization-v2-2-90e81b726724@clyso.com>
From: Xiubo Li <[email protected]>

The xarray gives O(1) lookups by tid (vs O(log N) rbtree) and
uses internal RCU-based locking, eliminating mdsc->mutex as a
precondition for tree access and paving the way for lockless
xa_load() in the future. In practise this yields a 13x reduction
of handle_reply mutex hold time, from 51-416us down to 10-32us,
due to parse_reply_info() no longer being protected by the global
mutex.

Check xa_store() for allocation failure, which would otherwise be
silent, and skip __do_request() in the submit path if registration
failed.

On 32-bit architectures xarray silently truncates u64 keys because
its index type is unsigned long.  Guard the entire conversion by
BITS_PER_LONG==64 and fall back to the original rbtree on 32-bit
so there is no regression from the current code.
