VFS will take inode_lock for readdir, therefore no need to take page lock in readdir at all just as the majority of other generic filesystems. This patch improves concurrency since .iterate_shared was introduced to VFS years ago. Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang <gaoxiang25@xxxxxxxxxx> --- personally tend to use read_mapping_page here, but it seems that f2fs has some remaining customized code since it was merged into Linux, use f2fs_find_data_page instead. fs/f2fs/dir.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/f2fs/dir.c b/fs/f2fs/dir.c index ecc3a4e2be96..64602bc1e092 100644 --- a/fs/f2fs/dir.c +++ b/fs/f2fs/dir.c @@ -873,7 +873,7 @@ static int f2fs_readdir(struct file *file, struct dir_context *ctx) page_cache_sync_readahead(inode->i_mapping, ra, file, n, min(npages - n, (pgoff_t)MAX_DIR_RA_PAGES)); - dentry_page = f2fs_get_lock_data_page(inode, n, false); + dentry_page = f2fs_find_data_page(inode, n); if (IS_ERR(dentry_page)) { err = PTR_ERR(dentry_page); if (err == -ENOENT) { @@ -891,11 +891,11 @@ static int f2fs_readdir(struct file *file, struct dir_context *ctx) err = f2fs_fill_dentries(ctx, &d, n * NR_DENTRY_IN_BLOCK, &fstr); if (err) { - f2fs_put_page(dentry_page, 1); + f2fs_put_page(dentry_page, 0); break; } - f2fs_put_page(dentry_page, 1); + f2fs_put_page(dentry_page, 0); } out_free: fscrypt_fname_free_buffer(&fstr); -- 2.14.4
