locking in fs/9p ->readdir()
... is really excessive. First of all, ->readdir() is serialized by file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_mutex; playing with file->f_path.dentry->d_lock is not buying you anything. Moreover, rdir->mutex is pointless for exactly the same reason - you'll never see contention on it. While we are at it, there's no point in having rdir->buf a pointer - you have it point just past the end of rdir, so it might as well be a flex array (and no, it's not a gccism). Absolutely untested patch follows: Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
