[PATCH 6/7] nfsd: filecache: change garbage collection to a timer.

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

 



garbage collection never sleeps and no longer walks a list so it runs
quickly only requiring a spinlock.

This means we don't need to use a workqueue, we can use a simple timer
instead.

Rather than taking the lock in the timer callback, which would require
using _bh locking, simply test a flag and wake an nfsd thread.  That
thread checks the flag and ages the lists when needed.
