From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The following patch series performs a number of cleanups on the readdir code. It also adds support for 1MB readdir RPC calls on-the-wire, and modifies the caching code to ensure that we cache the entire contents of that 1MB call (instead of discarding the data that doesn't fit into a single page). For filesystems that use ordered readdir cookie schemes (e.g. XFS), it optimises searching for cookies in the client's page cache by skipping over pages that contain cookie values that are not in the range we are searching for. Finally, it improves scalability when dealing with very large directories by turning off caching when those directories are changing, so as to avoid the need for a linear search on the client of the entire directory when looking for the first entry pointed to by the current file descriptor offset. v2: Fix the handling of the NFSv3/v4 directory verifier. v3: Optimise searching when the readdir cookies are seen to be ordered. v4: Optimise performance for large directories that are changing. Add in llseek dependency patches. v5: Integrate Olga's patch for the READDIR security label handling. Record more entries in the uncached readdir case. Bump the max number of pages to 512, but allocate them on demand in case the readdir RPC call returns fewer entries.
