Aside from the flock_lock_file function moving up, we also get an increase in _raw_spin_lock. Before: 5.17% 5.17% flock02 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock | ---_raw_spin_lock | |--99.75%-- flock_lock_file_wait | sys_flock | entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | flock --0.25%-- [...] After: 7.20% 7.20% flock02 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock | ---_raw_spin_lock | |--52.23%-- flock_lock_file_wait | sys_flock | entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | flock | |--25.92%-- flock_lock_file | flock_lock_file_wait | sys_flock | entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | flock | |--21.42%-- locks_delete_lock_ctx | flock_lock_file | flock_lock_file_wait | sys_flock | entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | flock --0.43%-- [...] And its not at all clear to me why this would be. It looks like FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED is happening, but I've not yet figured out why that would be. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
