Subject: [RFC][PATCH] cachefiles: Make better use of SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE
Here's a test patch that makes better use of SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE in
cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() by caching data/hole information to use on
the subsequent pages in the list.
Note that the pages list needs to be transited in reverse for this to work as
it seems that the list passed to the fs is reverse-sorted.
What I see in the kernel output when reading a 16MB file is:
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: 0
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: 200000
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: 400000
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: 600000
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: 800000
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: a00000
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: c00000
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages({OBJ5,1},,512,,)
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: e00000
[cat ] SEEK_HOLE: 1000000
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() = 0 [nr=0 empty]
[cat ] ==> cachefiles_read_or_alloc_page({ffff880037ffac00},{1000},,,)
[cat ] <== cachefiles_read_or_alloc_page() = -61
It doesn't quite work, though - after invalidating the file, I see lots of:
[cat ] SEEK_DATA: fffffffffffffffa
That is ENXIO. I'm not sure what that portends yet.
