Subject: [PATCH 1/3] open_by_handle: add -n option to suppress drop caches
Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2018 17:53:09 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1521989591-9496-2-git-send-email-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1521989591-9496-1-git-send-email-amir73il@gmail.com>

By default, open_by_handle drops inode and page caches before trying
to open by file handles. Add an option to suppress drop caches for
testing open by handle with warm caches.

Usage: open_by_handle -n <test_dir> [N]
