+Subject: [PATCH 01/14] libdiskfs: add diskfs_make_node_alloc to allocate fat
+ nodes
+
+libdiskfs has two kind of nodes, struct node and struct netnode.
+struct node is used to store libdiskfs specific data, while struct
+netnode contains user supplied data.  Previously, both objects were
+allocated separatly, and a pointer from the node to the netnode
+provided a mapping from the former to the latter.
+
+Provide a function diskfs_make_node_alloc that allocates both nodes in
+a contiguous region.
+
+This reduces the memory allocation overhead when creating nodes.  It
+also makes the relation between node and netnode a simple offset
+calculation.  Provide two functions to compute the netnode address
+from the node address and vice-versa.
+
+Most notably, this makes implementing a cache on top of libdiskfs
+easier.  Auxiliary data for the cache can be stored in the
+user-defined netnode, and the fat node can be used as the value.
+
+* libdiskfs/node-make.c (init_node): Move initialization here.
+(diskfs_make_node): Use init_node.
+(diskfs_make_node_alloc): New function to allocate fat nodes.
+* libdiskfs/diskfs.h (diskfs_make_node_alloc): New declaration.
+(_diskfs_sizeof_struct_node): Likewise.
+(diskfs_node_disknode): Compute disknode address from node address.
+(diskfs_disknode_node): And vice-versa.
+* libdiskfs/init-init.c (_diskfs_sizeof_struct_node): New variable.

+Subject: [PATCH 03/14] trans/fakeroot: use fat nodes to simplify the node
+ cache
+
+Previously, fakeroot stored netnodes in the hash table.  But we are
+not interested in a cache for netnodes, we need a node cache.  So
+fakeroot kept pointers to the associated node object in each netnode
+object.
+
+Use fat netfs nodes, which combine node and netnode objects.
+
+* trans/fakeroot.c (struct netnode): Remove np.
+(idport_ihash): Fix ihash location pointer offset.
+(new_node): Allocate fat nodes, store the node pointer in the hash
+table.
+(netfs_node_norefs): Adjust accordingly.
+(netfs_S_dir_lookup): Likewise.

+Date: Sat, 3 May 2014 03:53:41 +0200
+Subject: [PATCH 05/14] libports: use a global hash table for the lookups
+
+Previously, libports used a hash table per port bucket.  This makes
+looking up a port difficult if one does not know the port bucket, as
+one has to iterate over all buckets and do a hash table lookup each.
+
+Having to iterate over the buckets makes it necessary to keep a list
+of all buckets, which has to be updated and protected by a lock as
+well.
+
+Also, the current code in _ports_bucket_class_iterate iterates over
+the hash table associated with the bucket given.  When
+ports_class_iterate calls this common function, it obtains a reference
+to the bucket from one of the ports in the given class.  This will not
+work if a class contains ports in different port buckets.  This
+limitation is not documented as far as I can see.  Again, having to
+maintain this list has its cost and requires serialization.
+
+Use a global hash table for lookups instead.  Keep the per-bucket hash
+tables for efficient iteration over buckets.  Furthermore, serialize
+access to all hash tables using a separate lock.  Remove the linked
+lists of all buckets and all ports in a class.
+
+* libports/bucket-iterate.c (ports_bucket_iterate): Acquire
+_ports_htable_lock.  Also, generalize ports_bucket_iterate so that it
+takes a pointer to a hash table as first argument.
+(ports_bucket_iterate): Ajust call to former function accordingly.
+* libports/class-iterate.c (ports_class_iterate): Just call the
+generalized _ports_bucket_class_iterate with the global hash table as
+argument.
+* libports/ports.h (struct port_info): Remove the port class links.
+(struct port_bucket): Remove the hash table, and the all buckets link.
+(_ports_all_buckets): Remove declaration.
+(_ports_htable): New global hash table.
+(_ports_htable_lock): Protected by this lock.
+* libports/claim-right.c: Adjust accordingly.
+* libports/complete-deallocate.c: Likewise.
+* libports/create-bucket.c: Likewise.

+Subject: [PATCH 06/14] libports: lock-less reference counting for port_info
+ objects
+
+* libports/ports.h (struct port_info): Use the new type.
+* libports/lookup-port.c: No need to lock _ports_lock anymore.
+* libports/bucket-iterate.c: Likewise.
+* libports/complete-deallocate.c: Check if someone reacquired a
+reference through a hash table lookup.
+* libports/create-internal.c: Use the new reference counting primitives.
+* libports/get-right.c: Likewise.
+* libports/import-port.c: Likewise.
+* libports/port-deref-weak.c: Likewise.
+* libports/port-deref.c: Likewise.
+* libports/port-ref-weak.c: Likewise.
+* libports/port-ref.c: Likewise.
+* libports/reallocate-from-external.c: Likewise.
+* libports/transfer-right.c: Likewise.
+* utils/rpctrace.c: Likewise.

+Subject: [PATCH 07/14] ext2fs: use a seperate lock to protect nodehash
+
+Previously, ext2fs used diskfs_node_refcnt_lock to serialize access to
+the nodehash.
+
+Use a separate lock to protect nodehash.  Adjust the reference
+counting accordingly.  Every node in the nodehash carries a light
+reference.  When we are asked to give up that light reference, we
+reacquire our lock momentarily to check whether someone else
+reacquired a reference through the nodehash.
+
+* ext2fs/inode.c (nodecache_lock): New lock.
+(diskfs_cached_lookup): Use a separate lock to protect nodehash.
+Adjust the reference counting accordingly.
+(ifind): Likewise.
+(diskfs_node_iterate): Likewise.
+(diskfs_node_norefs): Move the code removing the node from nodehash...
+(diskfs_try_dropping_softrefs): ... here, where we check whether
+someone reacquired a reference, and if so hold on to our light
+reference.

+Subject: [PATCH 08/14] fatfs: use a seperate lock to protect nodehash
+
+Previously, fatfs used diskfs_node_refcnt_lock to serialize access to
+the nodehash.
+
+Use a separate lock to protect nodehash.  Adjust the reference
+counting accordingly.  Every node in the nodehash carries a light
+reference.  When we are asked to give up that light reference, we
+reacquire our lock momentarily to check whether someone else
+reacquired a reference through the nodehash.
+
+* fatfs/inode.c (nodecache_lock): New lock.
+(diskfs_cached_lookup): Use a separate lock to protect nodehash.
+Adjust the reference counting accordingly.
+(ifind): Likewise.
+(diskfs_node_iterate): Likewise.
+(diskfs_node_norefs): Move the code removing the node from nodehash...
+(diskfs_try_dropping_softrefs): ... here, where we check whether
+someone reacquired a reference, and if so hold on to our light
+reference.

+Subject: [PATCH 10/14] tmpfs: use a seperate lock to protect all_nodes
+
+Previously, tmpfs used diskfs_node_refcnt_lock to serialize access to
+the all_nodes and some other related global state related to memory
+consumption.
+
+Use a separate lock to protect all_nodes, and atomic operations to
+access the state related to memory consumption. Adjust the reference
+counting accordingly.  Every node in the all_nodes carries a light
+reference.  When we are asked to give up that light reference, we
+reacquire our lock momentarily to check whether someone else
+reacquired a reference through the all_nodes.
+
+* tmpfs/tmpfs.h (num_files, tmpfs_space_used): Use atomic operations
+for these variables.
+(adjust_used): Use atomic operations.
+(get_used): New convenience function to atomically retrieve
+tmpfs_space_used.
+* tmpfs/node.c (all_nodes_lock): New lock.
+(diskfs_alloc_node): Use a separate lock to protect all_nodes.
+Adjust the reference counting accordingly.
+(diskfs_free_node): Likewise.
+(diskfs_cached_lookup):Likewise.
+(diskfs_node_iterate): Likewise.
+(diskfs_node_norefs): Move the code removing the node from all_nodes...
+(diskfs_try_dropping_softrefs): ... here, where we check whether
+someone reacquired a reference, and if so hold on to our light
+reference.
+(diskfs_grow): Use atomic operations.
+* tmpfs/tmpfs.c (diskfs_set_statfs): Likewise.

+Subject: [PATCH 13/14] libdiskfs: remove the statistics code from the name
+ cache
+
+The current name cache lookup operation completes in O(n) time.  This
+means that making the cache too large would decrease the performance.
+Therefore it was required to tune the size, hence the need for
+statistics.
+
+We will use a data structure with worst case constant lookup times in
+the future, removing the need to fine tune the cache size.
+
+* libdiskfs/name-cache.c: Remove the statistics code from the name
+cache.
