Subject: fscache review comments, part 1
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 17:45:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060928164529.GA3497@infradead.org> (raw)
Just to be on the same boat, all these comments are against
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/nfs/nfs+fscache-16.tar.bz2
This mail is just the core-touching paches, the fscache and cachefiles
code will get a review of it's own later on.
01-ino64.diff:
ACK
02-ino64-nfs.diff:
Unfortunately there's a lot of broken userspace that can't deal
with 64bit inode numbers, so you need to make the lod behaviour
a mount option at least, probably even the default. Given that
we're going to run into problems like that it might make sense
to make the option VFS-level instead of just in nfs. (Note:
XFS already has an option like that)
03-fsmisc.diff:
ACK
05-release-page.diff:
ACK, though I'd wish someone could come up with nicer names for
read_cache_pages_invalidate_page(s).
06-block-afs.diff:
ACK.
09-cachefiles-ia64.diff:
ACK. (Although I remember at some point I wanted to unify
copy_page and copy_highpage)
11-autofs-dcache.diff:
ACK. Should probably go in ASAP.
12-reiserfs-dcache.diff:
ACK. Again should probably go in ASAP.
Note that reiserfs_kill_sb could be written a lot nicer by
using a local variable.
static void reiserfs_kill_sb(struct super_block *sb)
{
struct reiserfs_sb_info *si = REISERFS_SB(s);
if (si) {
if (si->xattr_root) {
d_invalidate(si->xattr_root);
dput(si->xattr_root);
}
if (si->priv_root) {
d_invalidate(si->priv_root);
dput(si->priv_root);
}
}
kill_block_super(sb);
}
13-dcache-crunch.diff:
I know Jan has been rather unhappy with this, and I tend to agree
to at least the code duplication part. I wish I had time to
look into a better way to implement the rather nice idea behind
shrink_dcache_for_umount.
Why is this patch required for fscache anyway?
(and why is it last in the series then?)
