Currently, cached buffers are indexed by per-AG hashtables. This works great for the data device, but won't work for in-memory btrees. To handle that use case, buftargs will need to be able to index buffers independently of other data structures. We accomplish this by hoisting the rhashtable and its lock into a separate xfs_buf_cache structure, make the buftarg point to the _buf_cache structure, and rework various functions to use it. This will enable the in-memory buftarg to come up with its own _buf_cache. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
