Subject: Re: [PATCHv2 1/1] ext4: Improve fast_commit performance and scalability
Modulo a minor nit, this looks good.
Reviewed-by: Harshad Shirwadkar <harshadshirwadkar@...il.com>
One high level observation - all other dentry operations (link /
unlink) require inode number (fc_dentry.fcd_ino), however create
operation requires the VFS inode. So, another way to handle this could
be to move `int fcd_ino` and `struct inode *fcd_inode` into a union
and based on the op type, use one of the two fields. That would also
handle the concern you raised on the previous version about handling
corner cases wrt fcd_ino.
That said, I don't feel too strongly about it. So, I think what you
have here is fine too.
