Hello,
attached patch implements recursive mtime feature for ext3. Things like
rsync or updatedb can be much faster with it... More detailed description
is in the patch.
BTW: Hardlinks are currently unsolved - change is propagated to just the
first parent. Currently it's upto userspace to handle this - if you have
some idea how to make hardlinked files easier for userspace, please speak
up :).
Any comments welcome.
Honza
--------
Implement recursive mtime (rtime) feature for ext3. The feature works as
follows: In each inode we keep a flag EXT3_RTIME_FL (modifiable by user)
whether rtime should be updated. In case the inode is modified and when
the flag is set, inode's rtime is updated, the flag is cleared, and we
move to the parent. If the flag is set there, we clear it, update rtime
and continue upwards upto the root of the filesystem. Because the flag
is always cleared after updating rtime, we have constant amortized
complexity of rtime updates.
Intended use case is that application which wants to watch any modification
in a subtree scans the subtree and sets flags for all inodes there. Next time,
it just needs to recurse in directories having rtime newer than the start
of the previous scan. There it can handle modifications and set the flag
again.
