      mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace event · d51d1e64
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12
parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure.  This
structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c.  By moving it to the global
vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints.
In moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments
to the trace event.  In the future, we may limit the number of arguments
that a trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it
may be 8).

Before this patch, the code to call the trace event is this:

      afs: Locally edit directory data for mkdir/create/unlink/... · 63a4681f
      David Howells authored 
      

Locally edit the contents of an AFS directory upon a successful inode
operation that modifies that directory (such as mkdir, create and unlink)
so that we can avoid the current practice of re-downloading the directory
after each change.

This is viable provided that the directory version number we get back from
the modifying RPC op is exactly incremented by 1 from what we had
previously.  The data in the directory contents is in a defined format that
we have to parse locally to perform lookups and readdir, so modifying isn't
a problem.

If the edit fails, we just clear the VALID flag on the directory and it
will be reloaded next time it is needed.

      afs: Prospectively look up extra files when doing a single lookup · 5cf9dd55
      David Howells authored 
      

When afs_lookup() is called, prospectively look up the next 50 uncached
fids also from that same directory and cache the results, rather than just
looking up the one file requested.

This allows us to use the FS.InlineBulkStatus RPC op to increase efficiency
by fetching up to 50 file statuses at a time.
