The patch titled
Subject: proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
proc-faster-open-read-close-with-permanent-files.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files
Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which
could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"...
Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close
reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens
if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never
disappear simply do not need such protection.
Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such
"permanent" files.
Enable "permanent" flag for
/proc/cpuinfo
/proc/kmsg
/proc/modules
/proc/slabinfo
/proc/stat
/proc/sysvipc/*
/proc/swaps
More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module
authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons
when it is not.
This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times
by N threads scattered over the system".
N R t, s (before) t, s (after)

P.S.:
Explicit randomization marker is added because adding non-function pointer
will silently disable structure layout randomization.
