[$] Improving fget() performance

The performance of the fget() function in the kernel was the topicof a discussion led by Dave Watson at the 2019 Linux Storage, Filesystem,and Memory-Management Summit (LSFMM).fget() is used to take a reference to afile (i.e. bump a reference count), based on its file descriptor, and toreturn the struct file pointer for it; references are dropped withfput(). Some recent profiling at Watson'semployer, Facebook, found the function to be taking a sizable portion ofthe CPU time for some applications, so he wanted to talk about some of thethings he has tried to make that situation better.
