From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>
I've taken a patch originally written by Matthew Wilcox and
ported it to the current version. Unfortunately, the change
conflicts with the use of lockd, which still heavily uses
the big kernel lock.
As a workaround, I've made the behaviour configurable,
it either uses the BKL when it's enabled or a spinlock
when the BKL (and consequently nfs and lockd) are
disabled.
Original introduction from Willy:
I've been promising to do this for about seven years now.
It seems to work well enough, but I haven't run any serious stress
tests on it. This implementation uses one spinlock to protect both lock
lists and all the i_flock chains. It doesn't seem worth splitting up
the locking any further.
I had to move one memory allocation out from under the file_lock_lock.
I hope I got that logic right. I'm rather tempted to split out the
find_conflict algorithm from that function into something that can be
called separately for the FL_ACCESS case.
I also have to drop and reacquire the file_lock_lock around the call
to cond_resched(). This was done automatically for us before by the
special BKL semantics.
I had to change vfs_setlease() as it relied on the special BKL ability
to recursively acquire the same lock. The internal caller now calls
__vfs_setlease and the exported interface acquires and releases the
file_lock_lock around calling __vfs_setlease.
