We are only holding the lun_tg_pt_gp_lock in target_alua_state_check() to
make sure tg_pt_gp is not freed from under us while we copy the state,
delay, ID values. We can instead use RCU here to access the tg_pt_gp.
With this patch IOPs can increase up to 10% for jobs like:
fio --filename=/dev/sdX --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --numjobs=N
when there are multiple sessions (running that fio command to each /dev/sdX
or using multipath and there are over 8 paths), or more than 8 queues for
the loop or vhost with multiple threads case and numjobs > 8.

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.
