I'm trying to speeding up mkdir(2) for network file systems. A typical mkdir(2) calls two inode_operations: lookup and mkdir. The lookup operation would fail with ENOENT in common case. I think it is unnecessary because the subsequent mkdir operation can check it. In case of creat(2), lookup operation is called with the LOOKUP_CREATE flag, so individual filesystem can omit real lookup. e.g. nfs_lookup().
Here is a sample patch which uses LOOKUP_CREATE and O_EXCL on mkdir, symlink and mknod. This uses the gadget for creat(2).
And here is the result of a benchmark on NFSv3. mkdir(2) 10,000 times: original 50.5 sec patched 29.0 sec
