git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/npiggin/linux-npiggin.git vfs-scale-working Here is an new set of vfs patches for review, not that there was much interest last time they were posted. It is structured like: * preparation patches * introduce new locks to take over dcache_lock, then remove it * cleaning up and reworking things for new locks * rcu-walk path walking * start on some fine grained locking steps Thanks, Nick Nick Piggin (46): Revert "fs: use RCU read side protection in d_validate" fs: d_validate fixes kernel: kmem_ptr_validate considered harmful fs: dcache documentation cleanup fs: change d_delete semantics cifs: dont overwrite dentry name in d_revalidate jfs: dont overwrite dentry name in d_revalidate fs: change d_compare for rcu-walk fs: change d_hash for rcu-walk hostfs: simplify locking fs: dcache scale hash fs: dcache scale lru fs: dcache scale dentry refcount fs: dcache scale d_unhashed fs: dcache scale subdirs fs: scale inode alias list fs: Use rename lock and RCU for multi-step operations fs: increase d_name lock coverage fs: dcache remove dcache_lock fs: dcache avoid starvation in dcache multi-step operations fs: dcache reduce dput locking fs: dcache reduce locking in d_alloc fs: dcache reduce dcache_inode_lock fs: dcache rationalise dget variants fs: dcache reduce d_parent locking fs: dcache reduce prune_one_dentry locking fs: reduce dcache_inode_lock width in lru scanning fs: use RCU in shrink_dentry_list to reduce lock nesting fs: consolidate dentry kill sequence fs: icache RCU free inodes fs: avoid inode RCU freeing for pseudo fs kernel: optimise seqlock fs: rcu-walk for path lookup fs: fs_struct use seqlock fs: dcache remove d_mounted fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path fs: cache optimise dentry and inode for rcu-walk fs: prefetch inode data in dcache lookup fs: d_revalidate_rcu for rcu-walk fs: provide rcu-walk aware permission i_ops fs: provide simple rcu-walk ACL implementation kernel: add bl_list bit_spinlock: add required includes fs: dcache per-bucket dcache hash locking fs: dcache per-inode inode alias locking fs: improve scalability of pseudo filesystems Documentation/filesystems/Locking |
