9p: add a per-client fcall kmem_cache
Having a specific cache for the fcall allocations helps speed up end-to-end latency. The caches will automatically be merged if there are multiple caches of items with the same size so we do not need to try to share a cache between different clients of the same size. Since the msize is negotiated with the server, only allocate the cache after that negotiation has happened - previous allocations or allocations of different sizes (e.g. zero-copy fcall) are made with kmalloc directly. Some figures on two beefy VMs with Connect-IB (sriov) / trans=rdma, with ior running 32 processes in parallel doing small 32 bytes IOs: - no alloc (4.18-rc7 request cache): 65.4k req/s - non-power of two alloc, no patch: 61.6k req/s - power of two alloc, no patch: 62.2k req/s - non-power of two alloc, with patch: 64.7k req/s - power of two alloc, with patch: 65.1k req/s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1532943263-24378-2-git-send-email-asmadeus@codewreck.org Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@cea.fr> Acked-by: Jun Piao <piaojun@huawei.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>
