Interesting, what platform are you testing on?  I have not seen
substantial congestion on this lock on illumos, testing with up to ~1
million IOPS (reads of cached 8k blocks).

Now I am testing this on dual IvyBridge Xeon E5-2690 v2 system (40 (2x10x2) logical cores).

Mentioned earlier SPEC NFS test was running dual Westmere Xeon E5645 system (24 (2x6x2) logical cores). There problem was much less noticeable, but IOPS in that test were much lower too.

I'd like to note that I've seen quite a lot of examples already, when congestion barely measurable on 24 Westmere cores just explodes on 40 IvyBridge. This looks like one of them.

    Hi again! Another day, another patch. :)

    Testing the same setup as in earlier "Godfather ZIO lock congestion"
    thread (small strided reads from 256 threads concurrently on 40-core
    machine) but with ARC size sufficient to fit all test data, I hit
    another lock congestion on RRW lock of zfsvfs->z_teardown_lock.
    Earlier I've seen the same congestion even on smaller machine while
    profiling SPEC NFS benchmark.

    To avoid the congestion with attached patch I've replaced single
    teardown RRW lock per struct vfszfs with bunch (17) of them. Read
    acquisitions are randomly distributed among them based on curthread
    pointer to avoid any measurable congestion in a hot path. Write
    acquisition are going to all the locks, but they should be rare
    enough to not bother.

    As result, performance on this test setup increased from ~475K IOPS
    to ~1.3M IOPS.

    Any comments?
