From a209dfc7b0d94bd6fa94553c097836a2e6d0f0ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:36:34 +0200 Subject: vfs: dont chain pipe/anon/socket on superblock s_inodes list Workloads using pipes and sockets hit inode_sb_list_lock contention. superblock s_inodes list is needed for quota, dirty, pagecache and fsnotify management. pipe/anon/socket fs are clearly not candidates for these.
