You are 100% right, I forgot my old attempt to RCUified struct files
failed...
Maybe its time to finally move f_owner out of struct file, and use RCU
to free it.
In the mean time, adding a lock in fasync_struct is more than enough.
Thanks !
[PATCH net-next-2.6 v2] fasync: fine grained locking
kill_fasync() uses a central rwlock, candidate for RCU conversion, to
avoid cache line ping pongs on SMP.
fasync_remove_entry() and fasync_add_entry() can disable IRQS on a short
section instead during whole list scan.
Use a spinlock per fasync_struct to synchronize fasync_{remove|
add}_entry() and kill_fasync_rcu()
We can remove __kill_fasync() direct use in net, and rename it to
kill_fasync_rcu().

v2: As Lai Jiangshan noticed, we need a mutual exclusion between
fasync_{remove|add}_entry() and kill_fasync_rcu().
