It just reports the total number of # dentries in the LRU lists. # # As excessive number of negative dentries can have an impact on system # performance, it will be wise to track the number of positive and # negative dentries separately. # # This patch adds tracking for the total number of negative dentries in # the system LRU lists and reports it in the 5th field in the # /proc/sys/fs/dentry-state file. The number, however, does not include # negative dentries that are in flight but not in the LRU yet as well as # those in the shrinker lists which are on the way out anyway. # # The number of positive dentries in the LRU lists can be roughly found by # subtracting the number of negative dentries from the unused count. # # Matthew Wilcox had confirmed that since the introduction of the # dentry_stat structure in 2.1.60, the dummy array was there, probably for # future extension. They were not replacements of pre-existing fields. # So no sane applications that read the value of /proc/sys/fs/dentry-state # will do dummy thing if the last 2 fields of the sysctl parameter are not # zero. IOW, it will be safe to use one of the dummy array entry for # negative dentry count. # # Signed-off-by: Waiman Long # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/s390x-linux/bin/s390x-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/s390x-linux/bin/s390x-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 af0c9af1b3f66052c369d08be3f60fa9a9559e48 # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=s390 O=/kisskb/build/linus_s390-allnoconfig_s390x CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/s390x-linux/bin/s390x-linux- allnoconfig # make -s -j 8 ARCH=s390 O=/kisskb/build/linus_s390-allnoconfig_s390x CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/s390x-linux/bin/s390x-linux- /kisskb/src/arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c:413:15: warning: 'pmd_alloc_map' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c: In function 'devkmsg_sysctl_set_loglvl': /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c:186:16: warning: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/arch/s390/kernel/machine_kexec.c:145:22: warning: 'do_start_kdump' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_s390-allnoconfig_s390x # Build took: 0:00:16.872186
