Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Avoid cache cleanup storms
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2024 11:10:56 +0200

Hello!

This fixes “cache cleanup storms” reported by Chris Baines whereby
typically multiple ‘guix substitute’ processes would start cleaning
up /var/guix/substitute/cache concurrently, leading to poor performance
(in particular on build farms with many such processes running in
parallel, even worse when on spinning disks).

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (2):
  syscalls: Add ‘mode’ parameter to ‘lock-file’.
  cache: Avoid cache cleanup storms from concurrent processes.
