Message-Id: <1285762729-17928-14-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com>

Subject: [PATCH 13/17] fs: Implement lazy LRU updates for inodes.
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@...e.de>
Convert the inode LRU to use lazy updates to reduce lock and
cacheline traffic. We avoid moving inodes around in the LRU list
during iget/iput operations so these frequent operations don't need
to access the LRUs. Instead, we defer the refcount checks to
reclaim-time and use a per-inode state flag, I_REFERENCED, to tell
reclaim that iget has touched the inode in the past. This means that
only reclaim should be touching the LRU with any frequency, hence
significantly reducing lock acquisitions and the amount contention
on LRU updates.
