I'm proposing this series for v6.2 (for-next).
For quite some time, we've been encouraged to disable filecache
garbage collection for NFSv4 files, and I think I found a surgical
way to do just that. That is presented in "NFSD: Add an NFSD_FILE_GC
flag to enable nfsd_file garbage collection".
The other major change in this set is reworking the file_hashtbl to
resize itself dynamically. This reduces the average size of its
bucket chains, greatly speeding up hash insertion, which holds the
state_lock.
The current rhashtable changes are failing some tests, so expect
another revision of this series soon.
Comments and opinions are welcome.
Changes since v4:
- Addressed some comments in the GC patch; more to come
- Split clean-ups out of the rhashtable patch, reordered the series
- Removed state_lock from the rhashtable helpers
Changes since v3:
- the new filehandle alias check was still not right
Changes since v2:
- Converted nfs4_file_rhashtbl to nfs4_file_rhltable
- Addressed most or all other review comments
Changes since RFC:
- checking nfs4_files for inode aliases is now done only on hash
insertion
- the nfs4_file reference count is now bumped only while the RCU
read lock is held
- comments and function names have been revised and clarified
