From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> synchronize_rcu() gets called multiple times each time a client is destroyed. If the laundromat thread has a lot of clients to destroy, the delay can be noticeable. This was causing pynfs test RENEW3 to fail. We could embed an rcu_head in each inode and do the kref_put in an rcu callback. But simplest is just to take a lock here. (I also wonder if the laundromat thread would be better replaced by a bunch of scheduled work or timers or something.) Signed-off-by: J.
