[pbs-devel] [PATCH v4 proxmox-backup 5/5] fix #5331: garbage collection: avoid multiple chunk atime updates

[Christian Ebner <c.ebner@proxmox.com>]

To reduce the number of atimes updates, keep track of the recently
marked chunks in phase 1 of garbage to avoid multiple atime updates
via expensive utimensat() calls.

Recently touched chunks are tracked by storing the chunk digests in
an LRU cache of fixed capacity. By inserting a digest, the chunk will
be the most recently touched one and if already present in the cache
before insert, the atime update can be skipped.
