synchronize_rcu() gets called multiple times each time a client is destroyed. If the laundromat thread has a lot of clients to destroy, the delay can be noticeable. This was causing pynfs test RENEW3 to fail. We could embed an rcu_head in each inode and do the kref_put in an rcu callback. But simplest is just to take a lock here. (I also wonder if the laundromat thread would be better replaced by a bunch of scheduled work or timers or something.) Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
