Linux kernel source tree
c439d5e8a0
Allocations and frees are globally serialized on the pcpu lock (and the CPU hotplug lock if enabled, which is the case on Debian). At least one frequent consumer allocates 4 back-to-back counters (and frees them in the same manner), exacerbating the problem. While this does not fully remedy scalability issues, it is a step towards that goal and provides immediate relief.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
