From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 07:23:46 +0000 (-0700) Subject: fix quadratic behavior of shrink_dcache_parent() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d52b908646b88cb1952ab8c9b2d4423908a23f11;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git fix quadratic behavior of shrink_dcache_parent() The time shrink_dcache_parent() takes, grows quadratically with the depth of the tree under 'parent'. This starts to get noticable at about 10,000. These kinds of depths don't occur normally, and filesystems which invoke shrink_dcache_parent() via d_invalidate() seem to have other depth dependent timings, so it's not even easy to expose this problem. However with FUSE it's easy to create a deep tree and d_invalidate() will also get called. This can make a syscall hang for a very long time. This is the original discovery of the problem by Russ Cox: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/3826 The following patch fixes the quadratic behavior, by optionally allowing prune_dcache() to prune ancestors of a dentry in one go, instead of doing it one at a time. Common code in dput() and prune_one_dentry() is extracted into a new helper function d_kill(). shrink_dcache_parent() as well as shrink_dcache_sb() are converted to use the ancestry-pruner option. Only for shrink_dcache_memory() is this behavior not desirable, so it keeps using the old algorithm. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Cc: Al Viro Cc: Maneesh Soni Acked-by: "Paul E.
