2007-10-15[XFS] Radix tree based inode cachingDavid Chinner
One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum realistic size of the cache. As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to allow decent scalability with inode cache operations. A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the inode hash is causing issues. The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
