From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
NOTE:
The patchset is currently post out mainly to make sure
it is going in the correct direction and hope to get some
helpful comments from other guys.
For more infomation, please check hot_tracking.txt in Documentation
TODO List:
1.) Need to do scalability or performance tests.
2.) Turn some Micro into be tunable
TIME_TO_KICK, and HEAT_UPDATE_DELAY
3.) Rafactor hot_hash_is_aging()
If you just made the timeout value a timespec and compared
the _timespecs_, you would be doing a lot fewer conversions.
4.) Cleanup some unnecessary lock protect
5.) Add more comments to explain how to calc temperature
How to "read" the avg read/write time (nanoseconds,
microseconds, jiffies....??)
6.) Make updating tempreture more parallel
7.) How to save the file tempreture among the umount to be able to
preserve the file tempreture after reboot
8.) Add one new ioctl inteface to set temperature value.
Ben Chociej, Matt Lupfer and Conor Scott originally wrote this code to
be very btrfs-specific. I've taken their code and attempted to
make it more generic and integrate it at the VFS level.
Changelog from v1:
1.) Reduce new files and put all in fs/hot_tracking.[ch] [Dave Chinner]
2.) The first three patches can probably just be flattened into one.
[Marco Stornelli , Dave Chinner]
