Subject: [RFC v4 Patch 0/4] fs/inode.c: optimization for inode lock usage
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:31:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348219866-1799-1-git-send-email-yan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

This patchset optimizes several places which take the per inode spin lock.
They have not been fully tested yet, thus they are marked as RFC. 

I do limited tests after all patches applied: use two 'find' to traverse the 
filesystems and touch all files in parallel. This runs for several days in a 
virtual machine, no suspicious log appears. 

Guo Chao (4):
  fs/inode.c: do not take i_lock on newly allocated inode
  fs/inode.c: do not take i_lock in __(insert|remove)_inode_hash
  fs/inode.c: do not take i_lock when identify an inode
  fs/inode.c: always take i_lock before calling filesystem's test()
    method
