VFS: add lookup hint for network file systems
I'm trying to speeding up mkdir(2) for network file systems. A typical
mkdir(2) calls two inode_operations: lookup and mkdir. The lookup
operation would fail with ENOENT in common case. I think it is unnecessary
because the subsequent mkdir operation can check it. In case of creat(2),
lookup operation is called with the LOOKUP_CREATE flag, so individual
filesystem can omit real lookup. e.g. nfs_lookup().
Here is a sample patch which uses LOOKUP_CREATE and O_EXCL on mkdir,
symlink and mknod. This uses the gadget for creat(2).
And here is the result of a benchmark on NFSv3.
mkdir(2) 10,000 times:
original 50.5 sec
patched 29.0 sec
