Subject: Downsides to using synchronize_rcu_expedited instead if synchronize_rcu in namespace_unlock
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 11:25:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56FC1A2F.5090504@codeaurora.org> (raw)

Hi
I was wondering why namespace_unlock calls synchronize_rcu and not 
synchronize_rcu_expedited

Testing shows there is about 20-25 ms saved during an unmount when using 
synchronize_rcu_expedited

is there a downside to such a change?

Please let me know.
I would really appreciate any help understanding any pitfalls.
