I agree, and I would have removed XFS_IDONTCACHE, except I was not convinced that XFS_IDONTCACHE was redundant. Currently XFS_IDONTCACHE can be cleared if the inode is found in the cache and I was unable to convince myself that it would be ok to remove it. I mentioned this to Darrick in V7. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200413194432.GD1649878@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ What am I missing with this code? xfs_iget_cache_hit(): ... if (!(flags & XFS_IGET_INCORE)) xfs_iflags_clear(ip, XFS_ISTALE | XFS_IDONTCACHE); ... Why is XFS_IDONTCACHE not 'sticky'? And why does xfs_iget_cache_hit() clear it rather than fail when XFS_IDONTCACHE is set? Ira > > Cheers, > > Dave. > -- > Dave Chinner > david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
