[LSF/MM TOPIC] Parallelize file operation (like creation, unlink) under large shared directory

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

 



Single directory performance is a critical in some use cases. For example the multiple application threads might create hundreds of thousands of files in a single directory simultaneously within a short window of time.

Currently, both filename lookup and file system modifying operations (such as create and unlink) are protected with a single lock for the entire directory. It might be useful to remove this lock, so multiple application threads can access the directory simultaneously.

Thanks
