Currently generic_file_llseek users synchronize all on the inode i_mutex, which is very heavy handed because it affects even different processes. This patchkit attempts to make generic_file_llseek (mostly) lockless. For details see the individual patches. This is a repost of the earlier version which got some reviews. v2: Forward ported to recent kernel. Add SEEK_DATA/HOLE support. Fix a nasty SEEK_END bug in the previous version. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
