How long can this list get? I have the feeling this might get a bit
painful, especially on a NUMA machine.
But, it definitely eliminates the spinlock contention that I was seeing.
The top ext4 function in my profiles is way down under 1% of CPU time
now. Thanks for the quick response, and please let me know if you need
any further testing.
