From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This doesn't remove *all* the struct_mutex, but it covers the worst of it, ie. shrinker/madvise/free/retire. The submit path still uses struct_mutex, but it still needs *something* serialize a portion of the submit path, and lock_stat mostly just shows the lock contention there being with other submits. And there are a few other bits of struct_mutex usage in less critical paths (debugfs, etc). But this seems like a reasonable step in the right direction.
