fs/address_space: add alignment padding for i_map and i_mmap_rwsem to mitigate a false sharing.
When running UnixBench/Shell Scripts, we observed high false sharing for
accessing i_mmap against i_mmap_rwsem.
UnixBench/Shell Scripts are typical load/execute command test scenarios,
which concurrently launch->execute->exit a lot of shell commands. A lot
of processes invoke vma_interval_tree_remove which touch "i_mmap", the
call stack:
----vma_interval_tree_remove
|----unlink_file_vma
| free_pgtables
| |----exit_mmap
| | mmput
| | |----begin_new_exec
| | | load_elf_binary
| | | bprm_execve
Meanwhile, there are a lot of processes touch 'i_mmap_rwsem' to acquire
the semaphore in order to access 'i_mmap'. In existing 'address_space'
layout, 'i_mmap' and 'i_mmap_rwsem' are in the same cacheline.
The patch places the i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem in separate cache lines to
avoid this false sharing problem.
With this patch, based on kernel v6.4.0, on Intel Sapphire Rapids
112C/224T platform, the score improves by ~5.3%. And perf c2c tool shows
the false sharing is resolved as expected, the symbol
vma_interval_tree_remove disappeared in cache line 0 after this change.
