Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tmpfs: Make tmpfs scalable with caches for free blocks
The current implementation of tmpfs is not scalable.
The stat_lock is contended whenever we need to get a
new page, leading to lots of lock contentions. This patch
makes use of the qtoken library to maintain local
caches of free pages to speed up getting and returning
of pages without acquisition of stat_lock. It
improved the performance of tmpfs by 270% for Aim7 fserver
workload.
