Subject: [PATCH v4] procfs: Improve Scaling in proc
I am currently tracking a hotlock reported by a customer on a large system,
512 cores. I am currently running 3.8-rc7 but the issue looks like it has been
this way for a very long time.
The offending lock is proc_dir_entry->pde_unload_lock.
This patch converts the lock to use the rcu. However the pde_openers list
still is controlled by a spin lock. I tested on a 4096 machine and the lock
doesn't seem hot at least according to perf.
This is a refresh of what was orignally suggested by Eric Dumazet some time
ago. I have also taken in some comments from Andrew and several other people
whose names escape me but I am quite grateful too.
Supporting numbers, lower is better, they are from the test I posted earlier.
