Subject: [RFC PATCH linux 2/2] fs/proc: use a hash table for the directory entries

From: Thierry Herbelot <thierry.herbelot@...nd.com>

The current implementation for the directories in /proc is using a single
linked list. This is slow when handling directories with large numbers of
entries (eg netdevice-related entries when lots of tunnels are opened).

This patch enables multiple linked lists. A hash based on the entry name is
used to select the linked list for one given entry.

The speed creation of netdevices is faster as shorter linked lists must be
scanned when adding a new netdevice.

Here are some numbers:

dummy30000.batch contains 30 000 times 'link add type dummy'.

Before the patch:
time ip -b dummy30000.batch
real    2m32.221s
user    0m0.380s
sys     2m30.610s

After the patch:
time ip -b dummy30000.batch
real    1m57.190s
user    0m0.350s
sys     1m56.120s

The single 'subdir' list head is replaced by a subdir hash table. The subdir
hash buckets are only allocated for directories. The number of hash buckets
is a compile-time parameter.

For all functions which handle directory entries, an additional check on the
directory nature of the dir entry ensures that pde_hash_buckets was allocated.
This check was not needed as subdir was present for all dir entries, whether
actual directories or simple files.
