Hi,

after updating one of our servers to 3.0.12 kernel, it became painfully slow (actually
it's almost unusable).

trying perf top, I see following:

            27465.00 - 59.8% : unregister_pernet_gen_subsys
             3144.00 -  6.8% : __start_notes
             1211.00 -  2.6% : swiotlb_sync_sg
             1155.00 -  2.5% : swiotlb_unmap_sg_attrs
              621.00 -  1.4% : pci_pm_init
              565.00 -  1.2% : swiotlb_map_sg_attrs
              503.00 -  1.1% : cgroup_attach_task

I wasn't too successfull trying to find something related, so I'd like to ask,
which subsystem might be calling unregister_pernet_gen_subsys and why?
I guess this is certaingly a bug... Could somebody please have a look at this?
I'll provide all debugging information I can if needed..

thanks a lot in advance

with best regards

nik
