Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader
side and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter.
The updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable
structure and setting files->fdt to point to the new structure.
The fdtable structure is protected by RCU thereby allowing
lock-free lookup. For fd arrays/sets that are vmalloced,
we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't
sleep. A global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable,
so we use a per-cpu list. If keventd is already handling
the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer queueing
of that work.
Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written
to avoid using explicit memory barriers and use
rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference() premitives instead.
This required that the fd information is kept in
a separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.
This patch needs the rcuref api additions as pre-req.
