Rusty Russell e91defa26c module: don't use stop_machine on module load ... Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> discovered that boot times are slowed by about half a second because all the stop_machine_create() calls, and he only probes about 40 modules (I have 125 loaded on this laptop). We only do stop_machine_create() so we can unlink the module if something goes wrong, but it's overkill (and buggy anyway: if stop_machine_create() fails we still call stop_machine_destroy()). Since we are only protecting against kallsyms (esp. oops) walking the list, synchronize_sched() is sufficient (synchronize_rcu() is probably sufficient, but we're not in a hurry). Kay says of this patch: ... no module takes more than 40 millisecs to link now, most of them are between 3 and 8 millisecs. That looks very different to the numbers without this patch and the otherwise same setup, where we get heavy noise in the traces and many delays of up to 200 millisecs until linking, most of them taking 30+ millisecs.
