tmpfs: avoid a little creat and stat slowdown
LKP reports that v4.2 commit afa2db2fb6f1 ("tmpfs: truncate prealloc blocks past i_size") causes a 14.5% slowdown in the AIM9 creat-clo benchmark. creat-clo does just what you'd expect from the name, and creat's O_TRUNC on 0-length file does indeed get into more overhead now shmem_setattr() tests "0 <= 0" instead of "0 < 0". I'm not sure how much we care, but I think it would not be too VW-like to add in a check for whether any pages (or swap) are allocated: if none are allocated, there's none to remove from the radix_tree. At first I thought that check would be good enough for the unmaps too, but no: we should not skip the unlikely case of unmapping pages beyond the new EOF, which were COWed from holes which have now been reclaimed, leaving none. This gives me an 8.5% speedup: on Haswell instead of LKP's Westmere, and running a debug config before and after: I hope those account for the lesser speedup. And probably someone has a benchmark where a thousand threads keep on stat'ing the same file repeatedly: forestall that report by adjusting v4.3 commit 44a30220bc0a ("shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat") not to take the spinlock in shmem_getattr() when there's no work to do.
