Hello, everyone!
I am now optimizing the performance of "ls". When there are many little files directly in mount point(root dir of glusterfs), I find that fuse_getattr takes near half time of total "ls". Strictly, the nodeid==1 check in fuse_getattr will call look operation instead of stat, and lookup will always miss the md-cache, so it will do real lookup and cost about 3ms a time in my case. I doubt whether the special check of nodeid==1 is necessary. I disable the check, it works normal for ls. However, in the "tests" of gluster, it fails(quorum.t). In that case, lookup in root_dir is essential. Up to now, we know that lookup bring high cost in fuse_getattr and it is essential in some case. Could anyone give some advice to improve fuse_getattr(lookup in root_dir) without bringing bugs? I have been trying to deal with this for many days. Your help is greatly in need. Best regards, Zhitao Li
