After scalability problems have been detected when using the sysV ipcs, I have
proposed to use an RCU based implementation of the IDR api instead (see
threads http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/212 and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/295).
This resulted in many people asking to convert the idr API and make it rcu
safe (because most of the code was duplicated and thus unmaintanable and
unreviewable).
So here is a first attempt.
The important change wrt to the idr API itself is during idr removes: idr
layers are freed after a grace period, instead of being moved to the free
list.
The important change wrt to ipcs, is that idr_find() can now be called
locklessly inside a rcu read critical section.
Here are the results I've got for the pmsg test sent by Manfred:
