      fs/locks.c: prepare for BKL removal · b89f4321
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This prepares the removal of the big kernel lock from the
      file locking code. We still use the BKL as long as fs/lockd
      uses it and ceph might sleep, but we can flip the definition
      to a private spinlock as soon as that's done.
      All users outside of fs/lockd get converted to use
      lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel() where appropriate.
      
      Based on an earlier patch to use a spinlock from Matthew
      Wilcox, who has attempted this a few times before, the
      earliest patch from over 10 years ago turned it into
      a semaphore, which ended up being slower than the BKL
      and was subsequently reverted.
      
      Someone should do some serious performance testing when
      this becomes a spinlock, since this has caused problems
      before. Using a spinlock should be at least as good
      as the BKL in theory, but who knows...
