[PATCH v3] eventfd: move 'eventfd-count' printing out of spinlock
Posted by wenyang.linux@foxmail.com 1 year, 11 months ago
From: Wen Yang <wenyang.linux@foxmail.com>

When printing eventfd->count, interrupts will be disabled and a spinlock
will be obtained, competing with eventfd_write(). By moving the
"eventfd-count" print out of the spinlock and merging multiple
seq_printf() into one, it could improve a bit, just like timerfd_show().
