From c516610cfec5c50f84ff8cc315628548481f4990 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:32:46 +0100 Subject: quota: Make global quota locks cacheline aligned Andrew Morton has suggested that three global quota locks can end up in the same cacheline which can result in bad cacheline ping-pong on SMP machines. Make locks cacheline aligned so that we avoid this problem (thanks goes to Andrew for the idea).
