fs: call inode_sb_list_add() outside of inode hash lock
As both locks are highly contended during significant inode churn,
holding the inode hash lock while waiting for the sb list lock
exacerbates the problem.

Why moving it out is safe: the inode at hand still has I_NEW set and
anyone who finds it through legitimate means waits for the bit to clear,
by which time inode_sb_list_add() is guaranteed to have finished.

This significantly drops hash lock contention for me when stating 20
separate trees in parallel, each with 1000 directories * 1000 files.

However, no speed up was observed as contention increased on the other
locks, notably dentry LRU.

Even so, removal of the lock ordering will help making this faster
later.

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 reStructuredText 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.
