I haven’t explored this much.


Having a readdirplus system call could help, but I think that effort sort of 
died in the kernel.

Hi Krishna,  Someone reported that "ls" was slow on an NFS mount with ganesha, 
but that turned out to be an issue with our backend file system. NFS "ls" is in 
general slow, anyway. Frank probably knows this area well. Maybe, post some 
config and its timings comparing kernel nfs and ganesha to start the discussion 
on the mailing list.

Regards, Malahal.

Frank, Malahal,



I read the brief discussions on this topic, but If you have any pointers on how 
to implement

this ( given the current state) is appreciated.

We noticed a very high latency for NFSv3 readdirplus requests with a very large 
workload.



Since VFS FSAL module we use does not use the readdirplus system call we have, 
I will be

implementing the readdir operation using the system call to analyze the 
improvement in

latency,



I gather that this topic was discussed before, I would like to know the latest 
thoughts on this.

Any help and background information in this area is appreciated.






Regards.

Krishna Harathi
