Subject: [PATCH v5 12/17] cifs: option to set unlimited number of cached dirs
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 23:38:18 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514180823.497293-12-sprasad@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514180823.497293-1-sprasad@microsoft.com>
From: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@microsoft.com>
Today we can control the number of cached dirs on the system using
the mount option max_cached_dirs. The default value is 16.
This change allows setting this option to a special value of 0,
which means unlimited number of cached dirs. Shrinker can still
evict the cached dirs.
