Posix: Optimize posix code to improve file creation
Problem: Before executing a fop in POSIX xlator it builds an internal path based on GFID.To validate the path it call's (l)stat system call and while .glusterfs is heavily loaded kernel takes time to lookup inode and due to that performance drops Solution: In this patch we followed two ways to improve the performance. 1) Keep open fd specific to first level directory(gfid[0]) in .glusterfs, it would force to kernel keep the inodes from all those files in cache. In case of memory pressure kernel won't uncache first level inodes. We need to open 256 fd's per brick to access the entry faster. 2) Use at based call's to access relative path to reduce path based lookup time. Note: To verify the patch we have executed kernel untar 100 times on 6 different clients after enabling metadata group-cache and some other option.We were getting more than 20 percent improvement in kenel untar after applying the patch.
