From dfe4d34b39b80faff52489f950a18523da7581bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:16:06 -0400 Subject: GFS2: Add readahead to sequential directory traversal This patch adds read-ahead capability to GFS2's directory hash table management. It greatly improves performance for some directory operations. For example: In one of my file systems that has 1000 directories, each of which has 1000 files, time to execute a recursive ls (time ls -fR /mnt/gfs2 > /dev/null) was reduced from 2m2.814s on a stock kernel to 0m45.938s.
