Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 0/2] O_DIRECT locking rework
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 15:34:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061024193435.GE12815@think.oraclecorp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061020183237.GA8674@think.oraclecorp.com>

Hello,

Here is a new cut of my O_DIRECT locking rework.  It has a much lower
cpu cost than the last set, and simple benchmarks no longer show a
regression here in system time.  But, the complexity for inserting
placeholder pages has gone up.

I've also changed the way I test for a place holder page (from
mm/filemap.c):

static struct address_space placeholder_address_space;
#define PagePlaceHolder(page) ((page)->mapping == &placeholder_address_space)

This is more stable than the last one but I'm just starting to run race
and load testing on it.

-chris
