v2: Removed patch [1/6] from v1, and [4/6] from v1 is replaced with new patch (which is [2/5] in this v2). There was introduced fc->bg_lock to reduce the contention, and this patchset continues this efforts. This patchset introduces per fuse_inode lock to protect inode metadata, synchronization with background writes, etc. All of the above is related to a single inode, and there is no a reason, that inodes are concurrents of each other to make some of actions exclusive. So, here we introduce fuse_inode::lock spinlock and get rid of fc->lock in many places. --- Kirill Tkhai (5): fuse: Add fuse_inode argument to fuse_prepare_release() fuse: Convert fuse_conn::attr_version into atomic64_t fuse: Introduce fuse_inode::lock to protect write related fields and statistics fuse: Protect fuse_inode::nlookup with fuse_inode::lock fuse: Protect fuse_file::reserved_req via corresponding fuse_inode::lock fs/fuse/cuse.c | 3 + fs/fuse/dev.c | 10 +++-- fs/fuse/dir.c | 54 ++++++++++---------------- fs/fuse/file.c | 111 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- fs/fuse/fuse_i.h | 23 ++++++++--- fs/fuse/inode.c | 17 +++++--- fs/fuse/readdir.c | 4 +- 7 files changed, 115 insertions(+), 107 deletions(-) -- Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
