fasync: RCU and fine grained locking
kill_fasync() uses a central rwlock, candidate for RCU conversion, to avoid cache line ping pongs on SMP. fasync_remove_entry() and fasync_add_entry() can disable IRQS on a short section instead during whole list scan. Use a spinlock per fasync_struct to synchronize kill_fasync_rcu() and fasync_{remove|add}_entry(). This spinlock is IRQ safe, so sock_fasync() doesnt need its own implementation and can use fasync_helper(), to reduce code size and complexity. We can remove __kill_fasync() direct use in net/socket.c, and rename it to kill_fasync_rcu(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Paul E.
