When a NFSv3 READ or WRITE request comes in, the first thing knfsd has
to do is open a new file descriptor. While this is often a relatively
inexpensive thing to do for most local filesystems, it is usually less
so for FUSE, clustered or networked filesystems that are being exported
by knfsd.
This set of patches attempts to reduce some of that cost by caching
open file descriptors so that they may be reused by other incoming
READ/WRITE requests for the same file.
One danger when doing this, is that knfsd may end up caching file
descriptors for files that have been unlinked. In order to deal with
this issue, we use fsnotify to monitor the files, and have hooks to
evict those descriptors from the file cache if the i_nlink value
goes to 0.
-------
v2:
- Fix a double semicolon in fs/nfsd/filecache.c
- Adjust changelog for "nfsd: rip out the raparms cache" as per Chuck's
request.
