fs/eventpoll.c: loosen irq safety in ep_poll()
Similar to other calls, ep_poll() is not called with interrupts disabled, and we can therefore avoid the irq save/restore dance and just disable local irqs. In fact, the call should never be called in irq context at all, considering that the only path is epoll_wait(2) -> do_epoll_wait() -> ep_poll(). When running on a 2 socket 40-core (ht) IvyBridge a common pipe based epoll_wait(2) microbenchmark, the following performance improvements are seen: # threads vanilla dirty 1 1805587 2106412 2 1854064 2090762 4 1805484 2017436 8 1751222 1974475 16 1725299 1962104 32 1378463 1571233 64 787368 900784 Which is a pretty constantly near 15%. Also add a lockdep check such that we detect any mischief before deadlocking.
