Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] sysctl: add support for drop_caches for individual filesystem
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 19:27:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117112735.4170831-3-yebin@huaweicloud.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117112735.4170831-1-yebin@huaweicloud.com>
From: Ye Bin <yebin10@huawei.com>
In order to better analyze the issue of file system uninstallation caused
by kernel module opening files, it is necessary to perform dentry recycling
on a single file system. But now, apart from global dentry recycling, it is
not supported to do dentry recycling on a single file system separately.
This feature has usage scenarios in problem localization scenarios.At the
same time, it also provides users with a slightly fine-grained
pagecache/entry recycling mechanism.
This patch supports the recycling of pagecache/entry for individual file
systems.
