From: Giuseppe Scrivano <gscrivan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ipc/namespace.c: use a work queue to free_ipc
the reason is to avoid a delay caused by the synchronize_rcu() call in
kern_umount() when the mqueue mount is freed.
the code:
\#define _GNU_SOURCE
\#include <sched.h>
\#include <error.h>
\#include <errno.h>
\#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int i;
for (i =3D 0; i < 1000; i++)
if (unshare (CLONE_NEWIPC) < 0)
error (EXIT_FAILURE, errno, "unshare");
}
gets from:
Command being timed: "./ipc-namespace"
User time (seconds): 0.00
System time (seconds): 0.06
Percent of CPU this job got: 0%
Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 0:08.05
