From a concurrent rm -rf workload: 41.04% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int 9.85% [kernel] [k] __xfs_dir3_data_check 5.60% [kernel] [k] xfs_verify_ino 5.32% [kernel] [k] xfs_agino_range 4.21% [kernel] [k] memcpy 3.06% [kernel] [k] xfs_errortag_test 2.57% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir_ino_validate 1.66% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir2_data_get_ftype 1.17% [kernel] [k] do_raw_spin_lock 1.11% [kernel] [k] xfs_verify_dir_ino 0.84% [kernel] [k] __raw_callee_save___pv_queued_spin_unlock 0.83% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_find 0.64% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil THere's an awful lot of overhead in just range checking inode numbers in that, but each inode number check is not a lot of code. The total is a bit over 14.5% of the CPU time is spent validating inode numbers. The problem is that they deeply nested global scope functions so the overhead here is all in function call marshalling. text data bss dec hex filename 2077 0 0 2077 81d fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_types.o.orig 2197 0 0 2197 895 fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_types.o There's a small increase in binary size by inlining all the local nested calls in the verifier functions, but the same workload now profiles as: 40.69% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int 10.52% [kernel] [k] __xfs_dir3_data_check 6.68% [kernel] [k] xfs_verify_dir_ino 4.22% [kernel] [k] xfs_errortag_test 4.15% [kernel] [k] memcpy 3.53% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir_ino_validate 1.87% [kernel] [k] xfs_dir2_data_get_ftype 1.37% [kernel] [k] do_raw_spin_lock 0.98% [kernel] [k] xfs_buf_find 0.94% [kernel] [k] __raw_callee_save___pv_queued_spin_unlock 0.73% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil Now we only spend just over 10% of the time validing inode numbers for the same workload. Hence a few "inline" keyworks is good enough to reduce the validation overhead by 30%... Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
