[PATCH v4 5/5] kernfs: add kernfs_need_inode_refresh()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now the kernfs_rwsem read lock is held for kernfs_refresh_inode() and
the i_lock taken to protect inode updates there can be some contention
introduced when .permission() is called with concurrent path walks in
progress.

Since .permission() is called frequently during path walks it's worth
checking if the update is actually needed before taking the lock and
performing the update.
