v4: - squash some of the patches down into one patch to reduce churn - close cached open files after unlink instead of before - don't just close files after nfsd does an unlink, must do it after any vfs-layer unlink. Use fsnotify to handle that. - use a SRCU notifier chain for setlease - add patch to allow non-kthreads to do a fput_sync v3: - open files are now hashed on inode pointer instead of fh - eliminate the recurring workqueue job in favor of shrinker/LRU and notifier from lease setting code - have nfsv4 use the cache as well - removal of raparms cache v2: - changelog cleanups and clarifications - allow COMMIT to use cached open files - tracepoints for nfsd_file cache - proactively close open files prior to REMOVE, or a RENAME over a positive dentry This is the fourth iteration of the open file cache patches for nfsd. There are some rather major changes here vs. the earlier sets, particularly in how we close cached open files when there is vfs-layer activity (unlinks or setlease calls in particular). For those seeing this for the first time, main impetus here is to help speed up NFSv3 I/O. nfsd will do an open+read/write+close for every READ or WRITE RPC. This patchset allows us to cache those open files more or less indefinitely, and close them out in response to certain vfs-layer activity (unlinks and setlease attempts primarily). The first few patches in the series make (small) changes to several subsystems to enable the caching infrastructure. The 8th patch adds the cache itself, and then the remaining patches hook the nfsd code up to the cache. The final patch rips out the raparms cache since it's no longer needed with these changes. The most controversial piece here I think will be the 3rd patch in the series which allows fput_sync to run in non-kthread context. This is necessary to allow userland threads to close out cached nfsd files in advance of setlease attempts. Al, I'd appreciate it if you could weigh in on that one. I'm fine with adding more scary warnings to the comment above it if you think it's warranted.
