Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nfsd: note inadequate stats locking
Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 16:33:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1558125237-21030-2-git-send-email-bfields@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1558125237-21030-1-git-send-email-bfields@redhat.com>
From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>
After 89a26b3d295d "nfsd: split DRC global spinlock into per-bucket
locks", there is no longer a single global spinlock to protect these
stats.
So, really we need to fix that. For now, at least fix the comment.
