2015-08-31md/raid6: delta syndrome for ARM NEONArd Biesheuvel1-1/+12
This implements XOR syndrome calculation using NEON intrinsics. As before, the module can be built for ARM and arm64 from the same source. Relative performance on a Cortex-A57 based system: raid6: int64x1 gen() 905 MB/s raid6: int64x1 xor() 881 MB/s raid6: int64x2 gen() 1343 MB/s raid6: int64x2 xor() 1286 MB/s raid6: int64x4 gen() 1896 MB/s raid6: int64x4 xor() 1321 MB/s raid6: int64x8 gen() 1773 MB/s raid6: int64x8 xor() 1165 MB/s raid6: neonx1 gen() 1834 MB/s raid6: neonx1 xor() 1278 MB/s raid6: neonx2 gen() 2528 MB/s raid6: neonx2 xor() 1942 MB/s raid6: neonx4 gen() 2888 MB/s raid6: neonx4 xor() 2334 MB/s raid6: neonx8 gen() 2957 MB/s raid6: neonx8 xor() 2232 MB/s raid6: using algorithm neonx8 gen() 2957 MB/s raid6: .... xor() 2232 MB/s, rmw enabled Cc: Markus Stockhausen <stockhausen@collogia.de> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>
2015-04-22md/raid6 algorithms: delta syndrome functionsMarkus Stockhausen1-0/+1
v3: s-o-b comment, explanation of performance and descision for the start/stop implementation Implementing rmw functionality for RAID6 requires optimized syndrome calculation. Up to now we can only generate a complete syndrome. The target P/Q pages are always overwritten. With this patch we provide a framework for inplace P/Q modification. In the first place simply fill those functions with NULL values. xor_syndrome() has two additional parameters: start & stop. These will indicate the first and last page that are changing during a rmw run. That makes it possible to avoid several unneccessary loops and speed up calculation. The caller needs to implement the following logic to make the functions work. 1) xor_syndrome(disks, start, stop, ...): "Remove" all data of source blocks inside P/Q between (and including) start and end. 2) modify any block with start <= block <= stop 3) xor_syndrome(disks, start, stop, ...): "Reinsert" all data of source blocks into P/Q between (and including) start and end. Pages between start and stop that won't be changed should be filled with a pointer to the kernel zero page. The reasons for not taking NULL pages are: 1) Algorithms cross the whole source data line by line. Thus avoid additional branches. 2) Having a NULL page avoids calculating the XOR P parity but still need calulation steps for the Q parity. Depending on the algorithm unrolling that might be only a difference of 2 instructions per loop. The benchmark numbers of the gen_syndrome() functions are displayed in the kernel log. Do the same for the xor_syndrome() functions. This will help to analyze performance problems and give an rough estimate how well the algorithm works. The choice of the fastest algorithm will still depend on the gen_syndrome() performance. With the start/stop page implementation the speed can vary a lot in real life. E.g. a change of page 0 & page 15 on a stripe will be harder to compute than the case where page 0 & page 1 are XOR candidates. To be not to enthusiatic about the expected speeds we will run a worse case test that simulates a change on the upper half of the stripe. So we do: 1) calculation of P/Q for the upper pages 2) continuation of Q for the lower (empty) pages Signed-off-by: Markus Stockhausen <stockhausen@collogia.de> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2013-07-09lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculationArd Biesheuvel1-0/+58
Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations. It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected at boot time.
