From Daniel Gryniewicz <dang(a)redhat.com&gt;: Daniel Gryniewicz has uploaded this change for review. ( https://review.gerrithub.io/420078 Change subject: MDCACHE - Allow readdir_plus to reload entire chunks ...................................................................... MDCACHE - Allow readdir_plus to reload entire chunks When the handle cache is full, there may be dirents (even a lot of them) that are cached that have no corresponding entry in the handle cache. When a readdir() hits a chunk of these, it must to a lookup() and a getattrs() on each one, causing many round-trips to the cluster, raising latency of readdir() considerably. However, if a FSAL has readdir_plus, it can get multiple dirents and their associated entries and attributes in one (or a few) round-trips to the cluster. If this is the case, remove the empty chunk, and reload it from the FSAL. In addition, to make sure that entries in a chunk are not reaped while that chunk is being used for readdir(), take a ref on each entry until it's passed up to the caller.
