More likely, this is contention for the files_lock. Do you have any
lockmeter data ? That should give us more information. If so,
the files_struct_rcu isn't likely to help.

Not sure why it shows up more in -mm, but likely because -mm has
lot less contention on other locks like dcache_lock.

Oh, the usual place -
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8875&release_id=112473
I wish sourceforge FRS continued to allow direct links to patches.
