[PATCH 03/11] vfs: Use dlock list for superblock's inode list

[dchinner: original commit message preserved]

When many threads are trying to add or delete inode to or from
a superblock's s_inodes list, spinlock contention on the list can
become a performance bottleneck.

This patch changes the s_inodes field to become a dlock list which
is a distributed set of lists with per-list spinlocks.  As a result,
the following superblock inode list (sb->s_inodes) iteration functions
in vfs are also being modified:

 1. iterate_bdevs()
 2. drop_pagecache_sb()
 3. evict_inodes()
 4. invalidate_inodes()
 5. fsnotify_unmount_inodes()
 6. add_dquot_ref()
 7. remove_dquot_ref()

With an exit microbenchmark that creates a large number of threads,
attachs many inodes to them in procfs and then exits. The runtimes of
that microbenchmark with various number of threads before and after
the patch on a 4-socket Intel E7-8867 v3 system (64 cores, 128 threads)
on a 4.19-rc3 based kernel were as follows:

  # of threads  Elapsed/Sys Time    Elapsed/Sys Time    Speedup
                Unpatched Kernel     Patched Kernel
  ------------  ----------------    ----------------    -------
      1000      59.17s/123m09.8s    18.90s/24m44.5s      3.13
      1200      73.20s/151m24.1s    27.54s/50m05.3s      2.66
      1400     102.04s/212m00.9s    36.75s/68m26.7s      2.78
      1600     131.13s/272m52.4s    50.16s/94m23.7s      2.61

[dchinner: forward port, add new inode list traversals, etc]
[dchinner: scalability results on current TOT XFS]

With 400k inodes per thread concurrent directory traversal workload,
scalability improves at >=16 threads on 6.7-rc4 on XFS. We only test
XFS here as it is the only filesystem that demonstrates sufficient
internal scalability for the superblock inode list to be a
scalability bottleneck.

Table contains test runtime in seconds; perfect scalability is
demonstrated by the runtime staying constant as thread count goes up.

Threads		6.4-rc7		patched
-------		-------		-------
2		11.673		11.158
4		 9.665		 9.444
8		10.622		 9.275
16		12.148		 9.508
32		20.518		10.308

Unpatched kernel profile at 32 threads:

- 95.45% vfs_fstatat
  - 95.00% vfs_statx
     - 91.00% filename_lookup
	- 90.90% path_lookupat
	   - 90.40% walk_component
	      - 89.05% lookup_slow
		 - 88.95% __lookup_slow
		    - 86.38% xfs_vn_lookup
		       - 84.05% xfs_lookup
			  - 78.82% xfs_iget
			     - 72.58% xfs_setup_inode
				- 72.54% inode_sb_list_add
				   - 71.12% _raw_spin_lock
				      - 71.09% do_raw_spin_lock
					 - 68.85% __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath

Patched kernel profile at 32 threads - the biggest single point of
contention is now the dentry cache LRU via dput():

-   21.59%     0.25%  [kernel]              [k] dput
   - 21.34% dput
      - 19.93% retain_dentry

            - 19.82% list_lru_add
               - 14.62% _raw_spin_lock
                  - 14.47% do_raw_spin_lock
                       10.89% __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
                 1.78% __list_add_valid_or_report
