Subject: [PATCH 6/6] autofs4: don't take spinlock when not needed in autofs4_lookup_expiring
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 09:41:14 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140709234114.4525.70534.stgit@notabene.brown> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140709233541.4525.25151.stgit@notabene.brown>

If the expiring_list is empty, we can avoid a costly spinlock
in the rcu-walk path through authfs4_d_manage.
