The current implementation of tmpfs is not scalable. We found that stat_lock is contended by multiple threads when we need to get a new page, leading to useless spinning inside this spin lock. This patch makes use of the percpu_counter library to maintain local count of used blocks to speed up getting and returning of pages. So the acquisition of stat_lock is unnecessary for getting and returning blocks, improving the performance of tmpfs on system with large number of cpus. On a 4 socket 32 core NHM-EX system, we saw improvement of 270%. The implementation below has a slight chance of race between threads causing a slight overshoot of the maximum configured blocks. However, any overshoot is small, and is bounded by the number of cpus. This happens when the number of used blocks is slightly below the maximum configured blocks when a thread checks the used block count, and another thread allocates the last block before the current thread does. This should not be a problem for tmpfs, as the overshoot is most likely to be a few blocks and bounded. If a strict limit is really desired, then configured the max blocks to be the limit less the number of cpus in system.
