I agree that making mbcache more efficient is a good goal, but I don't think that ot should block the landing of this patch. Rather, it makes sense to land the patch and we can still fix mbcache performance if anyone actually wants to use it. It will also serve as the basis for any heuristic to turn mbcache on and off dynamically instead of (or in addition to) the mount option. Laurent, I'd be greatful if you pushed the patch upstream for the latest kernel as I'm traveling this week. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
