Subject: [PATCH] mm: lru_cache_disable: use synchronize_rcu_expedited
Date: Mon, 30 May 2022 12:51:56 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YpToHCmnx/HEcVyR@fuller.cnet> (raw)


commit ff042f4a9b050895a42cae893cc01fa2ca81b95c replaced
lru_cache_disable's usage of work queues with synchronize_rcu.

Some users reported performance regressions due to this commit, for example:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220521234616.GO1790663@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/T/

Switching to synchronize_rcu_expedited fixes the problem.
