[ CC folks from below thread ]

I have found a thread called "Re: ipc,sem: sysv semaphore scalability"
on LKML with a screenshot that shows the same call-trace.
I followed it a bit.
There is a patch in [3]... unconfirmed.

Comments on the rcu read-lock and "sem_lock()" vs "sem_unlock()" from Linus.

What's the status of this discussion?
