Subject: Make selection of 'readdir-plus' adapt to usage patterns.
|
|
Patch-mainline: not yet
|
|
References: bnc#678123
|
|
|
|
While the use of READDIRPLUS is significantly more efficient than
|
|
READDIR followed by many GETATTR calls, it is still less efficient
|
|
than just READDIR if the attributes are not required.
|
|
|
|
We can get a hint as to whether the application requires attr information
|
|
by looking at whether any ->getattr calls are made between
|
|
->readdir calls.
|
|
If there are any, then getting the attributes seems to be worth while.
|
|
|
|
This patch tracks whether there have been recent getattr calls on
|
|
children of a directory and uses that information to selectively
|
|
disable READDIRPLUS on that directory.
|
|
|
|
The first 'readdir' call is always served using READDIRPLUS.
|
|
Subsequent calls only use READDIRPLUS if there was a getattr on a child
|
|
in the mean time.
|
|
|
|
The locking of ->d_parent access needs to be reviewed.
|
|
As the bit is simply a hint, it isn't critical that it is set
|
|
on the "correct" parent if a rename is happening, but it is
|
|
critical that the 'set' doesn't set a bit in something that
|
|
isn't even an inode any more.
