[lustre-devel] [PATCH 29/50] lustre: llite: Move free user pages

From: Patrick Farrell <pfarrell at whamcloud.com>

It is incorrect to release our reference on the user pages
before we're done with them - We need to keep it until the
i/o is complete, otherwise we access them after releasing
our reference.  This has not caused any known bugs so far,
but it's still wrong.

So only drop these references when we free the aio struct,
which is only freed once i/o is complete.

Also rename free_user_pages to release_user_pages, because
it does not free them - it just releases our reference.

This also helps performance by moving free_user_pages to
the daemon threads.  This is a 5-10% boost.

This patch reduces i/o time in ms/GiB by:
Write: 18 ms/GiB
ead: 19 ms/GiB

Totals:
Write: 180 ms/GiB
Read: 178 ms/GiB

mpirun -np 1  $IOR -w -r -t 64M -b 64G -o ./iorfile --posix.odirect

With previous patches in series:
write           5183 MiB/s
read            5201 MiB/s

Plus this patch:
write           5702 MiB/s
read            5756 MiB/s
