Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ovl: enable RCU'd ->get_acl()
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 14:08:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210810120807.456788-3-mszeredi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210810120807.456788-1-mszeredi@redhat.com>
Overlayfs does not cache ACL's (to avoid double caching). Instead it just
calls the underlying filesystem's i_op->get_acl(), which will return the
cached value, if possible.
In rcu path walk, however, get_cached_acl_rcu() is employed to get the
value from the cache, which will fail on overlayfs resulting in dropping
out of rcu walk mode. This can result in a big performance hit in certain
situations.
Fix by calling ->get_acl() with LOOKUP_RCU flag in case of ACL_DONT_CACHE
(which indicates pass-through)
