New Revision: 267232
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/267232

Log:
  Use atomics to modify numvnodes variable.
  
  This allows to mostly avoid lock usage in getnewvnode_[drop_]reserve(),
  that reduces number of global vnode_free_list_mtx mutex acquisitions
  from 4 to 2 per NFS request on ZFS, improving SMP scalability.
