[RFC v2 4/4] locks: Use blocked_lock_lock only to protect blocked_hash
From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Mon Mar 02 2015 - 09:37:14 EST
blocked_lock_lock and file_lock_lglock is used to protect file_lock's
fl_link, fl_block, fl_next, blocked_hash and the percpu
file_lock_list.
The plan is to reorganize the usage of the locks and what they protect
so that the usage of the global blocked_lock_lock is reduced.
Whenever we insert a new lock we are going to grab besides the
flc_lock also the corresponding file_lock_lglock. The global
blocked_lock_lock is only used when blocked_hash is involved.
file_lock_lglock protects now file_lock_list and fl_link, fl_block and
fl_next allone. That means we need to define which file_lock_lglock is
used for all waiters. Luckely, fl_link_cpu can be reused for fl_block
and fl_next.
