Subject: [PULL 4/9] aio-posix: move RCU_READ_LOCK() into run_poll_handlers()
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2020 12:40:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200311124045.277969-5-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200311124045.277969-1-stefanha@redhat.com>

Now that run_poll_handlers_once() is only called by run_poll_handlers()
we can improve the CPU time profile by moving the expensive
RCU_READ_LOCK() out of the polling loop.

This reduces the run_poll_handlers() from 40% CPU to 10% CPU in perf's
sampling profiler output.
