nfs-utils: Allow turning off nfsv3 readdir_plus
|
|
|

|
|
|
4f2874 |
One of our customer's application only needs file names, not file
|
|
|
4f2874 |
attributes. With directories having 10K+ inodes (assuming buffer cache
|
|
|
4f2874 |
has directory blocks cached having file names, but inode cache is
|
|
|
4f2874 |
limited and hence need eviction of older cached inodes), older inodes
|
|
|
4f2874 |
are evicted periodically. So if they keep on doing readdir(2) from NSF
|
|
|
4f2874 |
client on multiple directories, some directory's files are periodically
|
|
|
4f2874 |
removed from inode cache and hence new readdir(2) on same directory
|
|
|
4f2874 |
requires disk access to bring back inodes again to inode cache.
|
|
|
4f2874 |
|
|
|
4f2874 |
As READDIRPLUS request fetches attributes also, doing getattr on each
|
|
|
4f2874 |
file on server, it causes unnecessary disk accesses. If READDIRPLUS on
|
|
|
4f2874 |
NFS client is returned with -ENOTSUPP, NFS client uses READDIR request
|
|
|
4f2874 |
which just gets the names of the files in a directory, not attributes,
|
|
|
4f2874 |
hence avoiding disk accesses on server.
|
|
|
4f2874 |
|
|
|
4f2874 |
There's already a corresponding client-side mount option, but an export
|
|
|
4f2874 |
option reduces the need for configuration across multiple clients.
|
|
|
4f2874 |
|
|
|
4f2874 |
This flag affects NFSv3 only. If it turns out it's needed for NFSv4 as
|
|
|
4f2874 |
well then we may have to figure out how to extend the behavior to NFSv4,
|
|
|
4f2874 |
but it's not currently obvious how to do that.
