Cover letter [patch 0/6] lockless pagecache
Hi,
I wonder what everyone thinks about getting the lockless pagecache patch into -mm? This version uses Hugh's suggestion to avoid a smp_rmb and a load and branch in the lockless lookup side, and avoids some atomic ops in the reclaim path, and avoids using a page flag! The coolest thing about it is that it speeds up single-threaded pagecache lookups...
