[PATCHSET v29.0 26/28] xfs: cache xfile pages for better performance

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

 



Hi all,

This patchset improves the performance of xfile-backed btrees by
teaching the buffer cache to directly map pages from the xfile.  It also
speeds up xfarray operations substantially by implementing a small page
cache to avoid repeated kmap/kunmap calls.  Collectively, these can
reduce the runtime of online repair functions by twenty percent or so.

If you're going to start using this code, I strongly recommend pulling
from my git trees, which are linked below.

This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems.  Enjoy!
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
