locks: turn the blocked_list into a hashtable Break up the blocked_list into a hashtable, using the fl_owner as a key. This speeds up searching the hash chains, which is especially significant for deadlock detection. Note that the initial implementation assumes that hashing on fl_owner is sufficient. In most cases it should be, with the notable exception being server-side lockd, which compares ownership using a tuple of the nlm_host and the pid sent in the lock request. So, this may degrade to a single hash bucket when you only have a single NFS client. That will be addressed in a later patch. The careful observer may note that this patch leaves the file_lock_list alone. There's much less of a case for turning the file_lock_list into a hashtable. The only user of that list is the code that generates /proc/locks, and it always walks the entire list. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-by: J.
