9p: add a per-client fcall kmem_cache
[ Upstream commit 91a76be37ff89795526c452a6799576b03bec501 ]
Having a specific cache for the fcall allocations helps speed up
end-to-end latency.
The caches will automatically be merged if there are multiple caches
of items with the same size so we do not need to try to share a cache
between different clients of the same size.
Since the msize is negotiated with the server, only allocate the cache
after that negotiation has happened - previous allocations or
allocations of different sizes (e.g. zero-copy fcall) are made with
kmalloc directly.
Some figures on two beefy VMs with Connect-IB (sriov) / trans=rdma,
with ior running 32 processes in parallel doing small 32 bytes IOs:
- no alloc (4.18-rc7 request cache): 65.4k req/s
- non-power of two alloc, no patch: 61.6k req/s
- power of two alloc, no patch: 62.2k req/s
- non-power of two alloc, with patch: 64.7k req/s
- power of two alloc, with patch: 65.1k req/s
