The patch titled
shrink_dcache_sb speedup
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
shrink_dcache_sb-speedup.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: shrink_dcache_sb speedup
From: Denis V. Lunev <den@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch makes shrink_dcache_sb consistent with dentry pruning policy.
On the first pass we iterate over dentry unused list and prepare some
dentries for removal.
However, since the existing code moves evicted dentries to the beginning of
the LRU it can happen that fresh dentries from other superblocks will be
inserted *before* our dentries.
This can result in significant slowdown of shrink_dcache_sb(). Moreover,
for virtual filesystems like unionfs which can call dput() during dentries
kill existing code results in O(n^2) complexity.
We observed 2 minutes shrink_dcache_sb() with only 35000 dentries.
To avoid this effects we propose to isolate sb dentries at the end
of LRU list.
