From a40dc6cc2e121abcbd1b22583ef5447763df510c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sage Weil Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:12:55 -0800 Subject: ceph: enable/disable dentry complete flags via mount option Enable/disable use of the dentry dir 'complete' flag via a mount option. This lets the admin control whether ceph uses the dcache to satisfy negative lookups or readdir when it has the entire directory contents in its cache. This is purely a performance optimization; correctness is guaranteed whether it is enabled or not.
