[ Upstream commit 8847ecc9274a14114385d1cb4030326baa0766eb ]
DRC bucket pruning is done by nfsd_cache_lookup(), which is part of
every NFSv2 and NFSv3 dispatch (ie, it's done while the client is
waiting).
I added a trace_printk() in prune_bucket() to see just how long
it takes to prune. Here are two ends of the spectrum:
prune_bucket: Scanned 1 and freed 0 in 90 ns, 62 entries remaining
prune_bucket: Scanned 2 and freed 1 in 716 ns, 63 entries remaining
...
prune_bucket: Scanned 75 and freed 74 in 34149 ns, 1 entries remaining
Pruning latency is noticeable on fast transports with fast storage.
By noticeable, I mean that the latency measured here in the worst
case is the same order of magnitude as the round trip time for
cached server operations.
We could do something like moving expired entries to an expired list
and then free them later instead of freeing them right in
prune_bucket(). But simply limiting the number of entries that can
be pruned by a lookup is simple and retains more entries in the
cache, making the DRC somewhat more effective.
