[PATCH 3/5] ceph: add wait_list_lock for wait-list serialization

Xiubo Li via B4 Relay <[email protected]> Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:46:09 +0800
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.ceph-devel,org.kernel.feeds.b4-sent,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <20260713-ceph-mdsc-mutex-optimization-v1-3-9ae5ac135c34@clyso.com>
From: Xiubo Li <[email protected]>

Add a dedicated spinlock to protect the waiting_for_map and
s_waiting lists, which are currently serialized by mdsc->mutex.
This is a preparatory step for removing mdsc->mutex from the
kick_requests() path: xa_for_each() is internally locked and the
per-request filter checks are lockless, so only list_del_init()
needs external protection.
