Hi, >From the comments in fs/ocfs2/inode.h:90 it seems, this was used in legacy ocfs2 systems when a node received unlink votes. Since unlink votes has been done away with and replaced with open locks, is this flag still required? If yes, why?
>From my ongoing investigation of unlink() times, it seems this flag is causing the delay with releasing the open locks while downconverting dentry locks. The flag is set _everytime_ a dentry downconvert is performed even if the file is not scheduled to be deleted. If not, we can be smartly evict the inodes which are *not* to be deleted (i_nlink>0) by not offloading to ocfs2_wq. This way open lock will release faster speeding up unlink on the deleting node. -- Goldwyn _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-devel mailing list Ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com https://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-devel
