Implement client side caching for NFSv4.2 extended attributes. The cache is a per-inode hashtable, with name/value entries. There is one special entry for the listxattr cache. NFS inodes have a pointer to a cache structure. The cache structure is allocated on demand, freed when the cache is invalidated. Memory shrinkers keep the size in check. Large entries (> PAGE_SIZE) are collected by a separate shrinker, and freed more aggressively than others.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
