initramfs cpio mtime preservation, as implemented via 889d51a10712b6fd6175196626de2116858394f4, uses a linked list to defer directory mtime processing until after all other items in the cpio archive have been processed. This is done to ensure that parent directory mtimes aren't overwritten via subsequent child creation. This change adds a new INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME Kconfig option, which can be used to disable on-by-default mtime retention and in turn speed up initramfs extraction, particularly for cpio archives with large directory counts. For a cpio archive with ~1M directories, rough 20-run local benchmarks demonstrated: mean extraction time (s) std dev INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME=y 3.789035 0.005474 INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME unset 3.111508 0.004132 Signed-off-by: David Disseldorp <ddiss@suse.de> --- init/Kconfig | 10 +++++++++ init/Makefile | 3 +++ init/initramfs.c | 42 ++---------------------------------- init/initramfs_mtime.c | 49 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ init/initramfs_mtime.h | 11 ++++++++++ 5 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) create mode 100644 init/initramfs_mtime.c create mode 100644 init/initramfs_mtime.h
