From 8b58924ad55c3a9fbeddd1a02d09fd29435e50eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2018 17:05:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: lookup in inode cache first when decoding lower file handle When decoding a lower file handle, we need to check if lower file was copied up and indexed and if it has a whiteout index, we need to check if this is an unlinked but open non-dir before returning -ESTALE. To find out if this is an unlinked but open non-dir we need to lookup an overlay inode in inode cache by lower inode and that requires decoding the lower file handle before looking in inode cache. Before this change, if the lower inode turned out to be a directory, we may have paid an expensive cost to reconnect that lower directory for nothing. After this change, we start by decoding a disconnected lower dentry and using the lower inode for looking up an overlay inode in inode cache. If we find overlay inode and dentry in cache, we avoid the index lookup overhead. If we don't find an overlay inode and dentry in cache, then we only need to decode a connected lower dentry in case the lower dentry is a non-indexed directory. The xfstests group overlay/exportfs tests decoding overlayfs file handles after drop_caches with different states of the file at encode and decode time. Overall the tests in the group call ovl_lower_fh_to_d() 89 times to decode a lower file handle. Before this change, the tests called ovl_get_index_fh() 75 times and reconnect_one() 61 times. After this change, the tests call ovl_get_index_fh() 70 times and reconnect_one() 59 times. The 2 cases where reconnect_one() was avoided are cases where a non-upper directory file handle was encoded, then the directory removed and then file handle was decoded. To demonstrate the affect on decoding file handles with hot inode/dentry cache, the drop_caches call in the tests was disabled. Without drop_caches, there are no reconnect_one() calls at all before or after the change. Before the change, there are 75 calls to ovl_get_index_fh(), exactly as the case with drop_caches. After the change, there are only 10 calls to ovl_get_index_fh().
