As the size of a directory increases item creation slows down. Optimizing access to s_children removes this bottleneck. dirents are already pinned into the cache, there is no need to scan the s_children list looking for duplicate Items. The configfs_dirent_exists check is moved to a location where it is called only during subsystem initialization. d_lookup will only need to call configfs_lookup in the case where the item in question is not pinned to dcache. The only items not pinned to dcache are attributes. These are placed at the front of the s_children list, whilst pinned items are inserted at the back. configfs_lookup stops scanning when it encounters the first pinned entry in s_children. The assumption of the above optimizations is that there will be few attributes, but potentially many Items in a given directory.
