From cffbc8aa334f55c9ed42d25202eb3ebf3a97c195 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2010 05:03:02 -0400 Subject: fs: Convert nr_inodes and nr_unused to per-cpu counters The number of inodes allocated does not need to be tied to the addition or removal of an inode to/from a list. If we are not tied to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock). This means that we have the freedom to change the list/locking implementation without needing to care about the counters. Based on a patch originally from Eric Dumazet.
