From d515afe88a32e567c550e3db914f3e378f86453a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:12:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tmpfs: no need to use i_lock 2.6.36's 7e496299d4d2 ("tmpfs: make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter for used blocks") to make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter used inode->i_lock in place of sbinfo->stat_lock around i_blocks updates; but that was adverse to scalability, and unnecessary, since info->lock is already held there in the fast paths. Remove those uses of i_lock, and add info->lock in the three error paths where it's then needed across shmem_free_blocks(). It's not actually needed across shmem_unacct_blocks(), but they're so often paired that it looks wrong to split them apart.
