From c4ae0c65455c1bb30d1b71c6dd9a1a62aadde8ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 06:55:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: avoid call to inode_lru_list_del() if possible inode_lru_list_del() is expensive because of per superblock lru locking, while some inodes are not in lru list. Adding a check in iput_final() can speedup pipe/sockets workloads on SMP.
