msmith 1999/07/30 18:52:00 PDT Modified files: sys/nfs nfs_vnops.c Log: As described by the submitter: I did some tcpdumping the other day and noticed that GETATTR calls were frequently followed by an ACCESS call to the same file. The attached patch changes nfs_getattr to fill the access cache as a side effect. This is accomplished by calling ACCESS rather than GETATTR. This implies a modest overhead of 4 bytes in the request and 8 bytes in the response compared to doing a vanilla GETATTR. ... [The patch comprises two parts] The first is the "real" patch, the second counts misses and hits rather than fills and hits. The difference is subtle but important because both nfs_getattr and nfs_access now fill the cache. It also changes the default value of nfsaccess_cache_timeout to better match the attribute cache. IMHO, file timestamps change much more frequently than protection bits.
