From 1e1c15839df084f4011825fee922aa976c9159dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 20:00:00 -0700 Subject: fs/epoll: use a per-cpu counter for user's watches count This counter tracks the number of watches a user has, to compare against the 'max_user_watches' limit. This causes a scalability bottleneck on SPECjbb2015 on large systems as there is only one user. Changing to a per-cpu counter increases throughput of the benchmark by about 30% on a 16-socket, > 1000 thread system.
