Currently with gfapi, even if applications release their reference on paritular inode entries, those entries never get destroyed as they shall always have positive nlookup count unless inode_table exceeds lru limit. Since inodes and their contexts can consume considerable amount of memory, applications may end up consuming lot of memory and may even get OOM killed. To avoid that, have considered below approaches (for handle based access)- a) Do 'inode_lookup' only if the corresponding inode is created for the first time and forget it during close of the handle This shall not work as multiple handle objects can refer to same inode entry and inode_forget from second handle object onwards shall result in assert. b) Do 'inode_lookup' during a handle or fd creation But this approach shall affect the performance of the fops which operate on neither handle nor fd. c) current approach taken- Applications using glfs handle objects hold a reference on corresponding inode entries. Hence it is safe to forget those inodes and make nlookup count to '0' while trying to delete those handle objects. That way the last unref (i.e, from the last handle close) shall result in inode_destroy().
