Re: [PATCH][SMB3] allow controlling length of time directory entries are cached with dir leases

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just wondering: how does a Windows client handle this? Does it use a timeout too? Which one? 60 seconds still seem rather short.

-slow

updated patch with Barath's suggestion of renaming it from
/sys/module/cifs/parameters/max_dir_cache to
/sys/module/cifs/parameters/dir_cache_timeout and also changed it so
if set to zero we disable
directory entry caching.

See attached.

Currently with directory leases we cache directory contents for a fixed period
of time (default 30 seconds) but for many workloads this is too short.  Allow
configuring the maximum amount of time directory entries are cached when a
directory lease is held on that directory (and set default timeout to
60 seconds).
Add module load parm "max_dir_cache"

For example to set the timeout to 10 minutes you would do:

   echo 600 > /sys/module/cifs/parameters/max_dir_cache
