Subject: [PATCH mmotm] fsnotify: don't slow everything down
Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 14:52:32 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0905171445290.18657@blonde.anvils> (raw)
Two little fixes to mmotm's fsnotify-parent-event-notification.patch:
Why is copying or building a kernel tree using twice as much system time
as before? Lots of time spent in __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags()
when it shouldn't even get called. Fix | to & in __fsnotify_parent().
And it's probably a bad idea to have DCACHE_FSNOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED
sharing the same d_flags bit as DCACHE_COOKIE: though the COOKIE bit has
prior claim, change it to keep the NOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED bits together.
