From d4c5e960bf202d99ec9a6922ad387eafb798b848 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2019 22:26:51 -0500 Subject: ext4: avoid fetching btime in ext4_getattr() unless requested Linus observed that an allmodconfig build which does a lot of stat(2) calls that ext4_getattr() was a noticeable (1%) amount of CPU time, due to the cache line for i_extra_isize getting pulled in. Since the normal stat system call doesn't return btime, it's a complete waste. So only calculate btime when it is explicitly requested. [ Fixed to check against request_mask instead of query_flags. ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wivmk_j6KbTX+Er64mLrG8abXZo0M10PNdAnHc8fWXfsQ@mail.gmail.com Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o --- fs/ext4/inode.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/ext4') diff --git a/fs/ext4/inode.c b/fs/ext4/inode.c index d035acab5b2a..9100460d92e5 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/inode.c +++ b/fs/ext4/inode.c @@ -5399,7 +5399,8 @@ int ext4_getattr(const struct path *path, struct kstat *stat, struct ext4_inode_info *ei = EXT4_I(inode); unsigned int flags; - if (EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE(raw_inode, ei, i_crtime)) { + if ((request_mask & STATX_BTIME) && + EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE(raw_inode, ei, i_crtime)) { stat->result_mask |= STATX_BTIME; stat->btime.tv_sec = ei->i_crtime.tv_sec; stat->btime.tv_nsec = ei->i_crtime.tv_nsec; -- cgit v1.2.3
