[PATCH 17/33] aio: change reqs_active to include unreaped completions

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Thu Mar 21 2013 - 12:41:07 EST


The aio code tries really hard to avoid having to deal with the completion
ringbuffer overflowing. To do that, it has to keep track of the number of
outstanding kiocbs, and the number of completions currently in the
ringbuffer - and it's got to check that every time we allocate a kiocb.
Ouch.

But - we can improve this quite a bit if we just change reqs_active to
mean "number of outstanding requests and unreaped completions" - that
means kiocb allocation doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer, which is a
fairly significant win.
