Questions about redirect_fd feature

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

 



Hi, Amir
I am a little confused. redirect_fd feature needs to wrt a file handle
to a xattr in upper dir, but what are the advantages ? Because it is
faster to lookup than ordinary lookup ? Could you please give me some
hints about why redirect by file handle is faster ?

BTW, there are too few comments in the overlayfs code which makes me
very hard to understand.

Thanks for your time.
