In scenario of intensively node allocation, free nids will be ran out soon, then it needs to stop to load free nids by traversing NAT blocks, in worse case, if NAT blocks does not be cached in memory, it generates IOs which slows down our foreground operations. In order to speed up node allocation, in this patch we introduce a new free_nid_bitmap array, so there is an bitmap table for each NAT block, Once the NAT block is loaded, related bitmap cache will be switched on, and bitmap will be set during traversing nat entries in NAT block, later we can query and update nid usage status in memory completely. With such implementation, I expect performance of node allocation can be improved in the long-term after filesystem image is mounted.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
