Subject: [PATCH, RFC 0/3] Introduce new O_HOT and O_COLD flags
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:20:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1334863211-19504-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)

As I had brought up during one of the lightning talks at the Linux
Storage and Filesystem workshop, I am interested in introducing two new
open flags, O_HOT and O_COLD.  These flags are passed down to the
individual file system's inode operations' create function, and the file
system can use these flags as a hint regarding whether the file is
likely to be accessed frequently or not.

In the future I plan to do further work on how ext4 would use these
flags, but I want to first get the ability to pass these flags plumbed
into the VFS layer and the code points for O_HOT and O_COLD reserved.


Theodore Ts'o (3):
  fs: add new open flags O_HOT and O_COLD
  fs: propagate the open_flags structure down to the low-level fs's
    create()
  ext4: use the O_HOT and O_COLD open flags to influence inode
    allocation
