Subject: increased vmap_area_lock contentions on "n_tty: Move buffers into
n_tty_data"
Hi Peter,
FYI, we noticed much increased vmap_area_lock contentions since this
commit:
commit 20bafb3d23d108bc0a896eb8b7c1501f4f649b77
Author: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>

n_tty: Move buffers into n_tty_data
Reduce pointer reloading and improve locality-of-reference;
allocate read_buf and echo_buf within struct n_tty_data.
