Subject: [patch 16/35] fs: icache lazy inode lru
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:42:32 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101019034657.147371115@kernel.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101019034216.319085068@kernel.dk

[-- Attachment #1: fs-inode_lock-scale-10.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 8964 bytes --]

Impelemnt lazy inode lru similarly to dcache. That is, avoid moving inode
around the LRU list in iget/iput operations and defer the refcount check
to reclaim-time. Use a flag, I_REFERENCED, to tell reclaim that iget has
touched the inode in the past.

This will reduce lock acquisition, and will also improve lock ordering
with subsequent patches.

The global inode_in_use list goes away, and !list_empty(&inode->i_list)
invariant goes away.
