In the dio write path, we only take shared inode lock for the case of aligned overwriting initialized blocks inside EOF. But for overwriting preallocated blocks, it may only need to split unwritten extents, this procedure has been protected under i_data_sem lock, it's safe to release the exclusive inode lock and take shared inode lock. This could give a significant speed up for multi-threaded writes. Test on Intel Xeon Gold 6140 and nvme SSD with below fio parameters. direct=1 ioengine=libaio iodepth=10 numjobs=10 runtime=60 rw=randwrite size=100G And the test result are: Before: bs=4k IOPS=11.1k, BW=43.2MiB/s bs=16k IOPS=11.1k, BW=173MiB/s bs=64k IOPS=11.2k, BW=697MiB/s After: bs=4k IOPS=41.4k, BW=162MiB/s bs=16k IOPS=41.3k, BW=646MiB/s bs=64k IOPS=13.5k, BW=843MiB/s Signed-off-by:
