One idea is building list with access counter for implementing LRU list based on this current patch.
The list is ordered by last access time. When a catcache entry is referenced, the list is maintained
, which is just manipulation of pointers at several times.
As Bruce mentioned, it's not shared so there is no cost related to lock contention.
When it comes to pruning, the cache older than certain timestamp with zero access counter is pruned.
This way would improve performance because it only scans limited range (bounded by sys_cache_min_age).
Current patch scans all hash entries and check each timestamp which would decrease the performance as cache size
grows.
I'm thinking hopefully implementing this idea and measuring the performance.
And when we want to set the memory size limit as Tsunakawa san said, the LRU list would be suitable.
