[patch 21/35] fs: icache per-cpu nr_inodes, non-atomic nr_unused counters

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

 



From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

[Eric Dumazet]
Make nr_inodes a per-cpu counter to avoid cache line ping pongs between cpus.

[Nick Piggin]
Make nr_unused non-atomic and protected by wb_inode_list_lock.
