[PATCH 09/11] fs: Use RCU lookups for inode cache

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

 



From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Convert inode cache lookups to be protected by RCU locking rather
than the global inode_hash_lock. This will improve scalability of
inode lookup intensive workloads.

Tested w/ ext4 and btrfs on concurrent fsmark/lookup/unlink
workloads only. It removes the inode hash lock from the inode lookup
paths, but does not solve the problem of the inode hash lock being a
bottleneck on the inode cache insert/remove paths.
