Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] fs: use fput_close() in filp_close()
Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2025 19:35:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250304183506.498724-4-mjguzik@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250304183506.498724-1-mjguzik@gmail.com>
When tracing a kernel build over refcounts seen this is a wash:
@[kprobe:filp_close]:
[0] 32195 |@@@@@@@@@@ |
[1] 164567 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
I verified vast majority of the skew comes from do_close_on_exec() which
could be changed to use a different variant instead.
Even without changing that, the 19.5% of calls which got here still can
save the extra atomic. Calls here are borderline non-existent compared
to fput (over 3.2 mln!), so they should not negatively affect
scalability.
