When notification starts/stops listening events from inode's children it have to update dentry->d_flags of all positive child dentries. Scanning may took a long time if directory has a lot of negative child dentries. This is main beneficiary of sweeping cached negative dentries to the end. Before patch: nr_dentry = 24172597 24.2M nr_buckets = 8388608 2.9 avg nr_unused = 24158110 99.9% nr_negative = 24142810 99.9% inotify time: 0.507182 seconds After patch: nr_dentry = 24562747 24.6M nr_buckets = 8388608 2.9 avg nr_unused = 24548714 99.9% nr_negative = 24543867 99.9% inotify time: 0.000010 seconds Negative dentries no longer slow down inotify op at parent directory.
