Right now per-fs kernfs_rwsem protects list of kernfs_super_info instances for a kernfs_root. Since kernfs_rwsem is used to synchronize several other operations across kernfs and since most of these operations don't impact kernfs_super_info, we can use a separate per-fs rwsem to synchronize access to list of kernfs_super_info. This helps in reducing contention around kernfs_rwsem and also allows operations that change/access list of kernfs_super_info to proceed without contending for kernfs_rwsem.

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.
