PATCH 1/1 Dcache Fastwalk for 2.4.20

Hi Marcelo,

This patch is a backport of the work Al Viro and I did
in 2.5 to decrease cacheline bouncing during dcache lookup. This also removes path_init and replaces it with path_lookup (hence the changes in intermezzo and nfsd) as it is in 2.5.
Please consider this for inclusion in the next 2.4.2* release.

Thanks.

Hi Marcelo,

This patch is a backport of the work Al Viro and I did
in 2.5 to decrease cacheline bouncing during dcache lookup. This also removes path_init and replaces it with path_lookup (hence the changes in intermezzo and nfsd) as it is in 2.5.
Please consider this for inclusion in the next 2.4.2* release.

Thanks.

Hanging head low... I reloaded my mailer and forgot to change the default line wrapping size... So sorry. Thanks for your interest though. I will have a 2.4.21-pre1 version soon.
