From ca3d643a970139f5456f90dd555a0955752d70cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 05:55:41 +0200 Subject: xfs: cache open zone in inode->i_private The MRU cache for open zones is unfortunately still not ideal, as it can time out pretty easily when doing heavy I/O to hard disks using up most or all open zones. One option would be to just increase the timeout, but while looking into that I realized we're just better off caching it indefinitely as there is no real downside to that once we don't hold a reference to the cache open zone. So switch the open zone to RCU freeing, and then stash the last used open zone into inode->i_private. This helps to significantly reduce fragmentation by keeping I/O localized to zones for workloads that write using many open files to HDD.
