From 41abc4e1af369bb5438eaee398e3beee690cc8ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Reinecke Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 14:35:50 +0100 Subject: dm: do not call dm_sync_table() when creating new devices When creating new devices dm_sync_table() calls synchronize_rcu_expedited(), causing _all_ pending RCU pointers to be flushed. This causes a latency overhead that is especially noticeable when creating lots of devices. And all of this is pointless as there are no old maps to be disconnected, and hence no stale pointers which would need to be cleared up.
