Testing with matchpathcon, I see a four time speed up on loading the file context file. Basically from 1 Second down to .25 seconds.
The memory problem is just the share number of file context that we are loading, each line of the file_context file is a regex. Currently the file_context file on my Rawhide machine is 4209 lines. If we can determine the only file context that systemd will need, based on directories we can eliminate some of the regexes. For example if we just loaded paths that begin with /var, /tmp, /dev, we would drop the regexs down to 1500. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk33Wb0ACgkQrlYvE4MpobNmgQCgw65ed5f489YvTnB4XZ6fMbxG X+0AnRi2iUSSuqsb/GzIPeXg5lLh8Cr1 =L1oe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
