[PATCH v3 0/2] ext4: Improve parallel I/O performance on NVDIMM

[Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com>]

v2->v3:
 - Remove the percpu_stats helper functions and use percpu_counters
   instead.

v1->v2:
 - Remove percpu_stats_reset() which is not really needed in this
   patchset.
 - Move some percpu_stats* functions to the newly created
   lib/percpu_stats.c.
 - Add a new patch to support 64-bit statistics counts in 32-bit
   architectures.
 - Rearrange the patches by moving the percpu_stats patches to the
   front followed by the ext4 patches.

This patchset aims to improve parallel I/O performance of the ext4
filesystem on fast storage devices like NVDIMM.

Patch 1 eliminates duplicated inode_dio_begin()/inode_dio_end() calls.

Patch 2 converts some ext4 statistics counts into percpu counts using
the helper functions.

Waiman Long (2):
  ext4: Pass in DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT flag if inode_dio_begin() called
  ext4: Make cache hits/misses per-cpu counts
