[PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variables
I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in
a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is
changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.
This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.
