Linux 6.2 is ancient (Feb 2023), and the buffer cache code has seen a
major rewrite since:
ch@brick:~/work/linux$ git diff v6.2..HEAD fs/xfs/xfs_buf.[ch] | diffstat
xfs_buf.c | 1651 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------------------------------------
xfs_buf.h | 96 +++--
2 files changed, 768 insertions(+), 979 deletions(-)
hch@brick:~/work/linux$ wc -l fs/xfs/xfs_buf.[ch]
2132 fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c
391 fs/xfs/xfs_buf.h
2523 total
so I'm not sure how relevant this report is, especially without a good
report.
