[PATCH v8 52/63] memfd: Convert shmem_tag_pins to XArray

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Tue Mar 06 2018 - 14:32:18 EST


From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Simplify the locking by taking the spinlock while we walk the tree on
the assumption that many acquires and releases of the lock will be
worse than holding the lock for a (potentially) long time.

We could replicate the same locking behaviour with the xarray, but would
have to be careful that the xa_node wasn't RCU-freed under us before we
took the lock.
