Subject: [RFC, PATCH] CLONE_NEWIPC and exit_group()
Hi,
Patch to move kern_unmount() out of exit_group() code path is below.
Dmitry, could you check if it's beneficial for your use-case?
Results are not that impressive. Microbenchmark:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
if (fork())
continue;
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC);
exit(0);
}
while (wait(NULL) > 0)
;
return 0;
}
