[PATCH 0/3] fat: add a cache for msdos_format_name()

[Caleb D.S. Brzezinski]

Hi all,

This patch series adds a cache for the formatted names created by
msdos_format_name(). In my testing, it resulted in approximately a 0.2 ms
decrease in kernel time for listing a small directory.

The overhead is in memory, but each entry is only 25 bytes plus
sizeof(struct hlist_node), and the cache also actively collects
infrequently used nodes, keeping overall memory usage low.

Caleb D.S. Brzezinski (3):
  fat: define functions and data structures for a formatted name cache
  fat: add the msdos_format_name() filename cache
  fat: add hash machinery to relevant filesystem operations
