Subject: reduce latency in __purge_vmap_area_lazy
Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2016 17:17:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1477149440-12478-1-git-send-email-hch@lst.de> (raw)

Hi all,

this is my spin at sorting out the long lock hold times in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy.  It is based on the patch from Joel sent this
week.  I don't have any good numbers for it, but it survived an
xfstests run on XFS which is a significant vmalloc user.
