[PATCH 3/3] virtiofs: Add negative_dentry_timeout option

[Keiichi Watanabe]

Add negative_dentry_timeout mount option to virtiofs to caching negative
dentry on the guest side. When the host virito-fs device has an exclusive
access to the file system and the machine has enough memory, one can
specify a long time as the timeout.

This option saves ~1 second per 10,000 stat request for non-existing paths.
