Hi,
The 1st patch removes memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path from 7 words to 2 words, since it is often used in fast path and embedded in user struct.
The 2nd patch moves .q_usage_counter to 1st cacheline of 'request_queue'.
Simple test on null_blk shows ~2% IOPS boost on one 16cores(two threads per core) machine, dual socket/numa.
V5: - fix memory leak on ref->data, only percpu_ref_exit() of patch 2 is modified.
V4: - rename percpu_ref_inited as percpu_ref_is_initialized
V3: - fix kernel oops on MD - add patch for avoiding to use percpu-refcount internal from md code - pass Red Hat CKI test which is done by Veronika Kabatova
V2: - pass 'gfp' to kzalloc() for fixing block/027 failure reported by kernel test robot - protect percpu_ref_is_zero() with destroying percpu-refcount by spin lock
Ming Lei (3): percpu_ref: add percpu_ref_is_initialized for MD percpu_ref: reduce memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path block: move 'q_usage_counter' into front of 'request_queue'
